Rigurtson Brothers

The Rigurtsons, no relationship to Rigurt the Brash, are a family of Nords from Eastmarch who got into some trouble with the law and fled to Hofborg, never revealing the cause of the trouble to any. There are a number of the brothers living in Hofborg.

• Ari Rigurtson works at the carpentry store in the Borg and is rather serious with one of the Keldora sisters.
• Kvelddulf Rigurtson is in service to the Saebjorn and works in the Saebjorn long hall along with Treve Bastion and Inga Keldora a cousin to "the Keldora Sisters".
• Haf Rigurtson works at the Motherhouse as a sometimes guard and handyman. Haf suffers from a bad knee that has never healed right and is unable to do any significant manual labor so his job at the temple keeps the medical costs low while offering him honest work.
• Thorir Rigurtson is an excellent cook and is currently managing the Inn (Kyne's Keg) of Hofborg. Thorir dreams of one day meeting the ambassador, Rigurt the Brash - his hero.

The Jorms

Most of the town guard was lost during the slaver attack in the fall of 590. Those left chose to take the name Jorm in honor of Jorm Hakonson who died in the attack. None of the Jorm were actually born with it as a first name.

• Jorm Swift-Dawn works at the Temple. Swift-Dawn is said to be the most humble and patient of the Jorm. His larger and broader structure gives him the look of a giant bear but all who know him know he is the most friendly Nord you'd meet.

• Jorm the Mumbling works in the Spirit Woods and is lightly allergic to milk. He tends to spend most days mumbling and smoking from different pipes. He claims to prophecy but none have yet to come true. Outsiders may find him hard to be around and often considered disturbed. Who knows maybe he is?

• Jorm Enralderson works at Kyne's Keg and considers himself a bit of a Skald. He has a selection of battered but functional instruments available for visitors to the inn for the low price of another horn of mead. He often flirts with the shield-maidens to the ends of which he finds a shield to his face.

• Jorm Kjerssen is a member of The Saebjorn and guards the warehouse in the Bunkhouse. Kjerssen is quiet and dedicated to his work. You can see him cleaning up here and there as he watches to bunkhouse and keeping it safe from looters and rowdy drunkards.
