Official Skandaharian Characters? - Havard - 07-18-2024

How many named Skandaharians are there?

OFFICIAL CHARACTERS
  • Thorsen One-Tumb (DA1), known as the First Jarl
  • Arn Yonson (DA1) - Not officially a Skandaharian, but his name and helmet do suggest this origin
  • Moorkok the Slayer (DA1) - Prince of the Egg
  • Sigurd Gustafson (DA4 p 18), captain of the Ghost Maker
  • Marfeldt (DA1, FFC) - not officially a Skandaharian, but being a barbarian, he could be related to them?
  • Iver Zvenzen - a Skandaharian who settled in Blackmoor and became a farmer. Father of the Great Svenny. (From the Great Svenny's backstory)
  • The Great Svenny - Son of the Skandaharian Iver Zvenzen. (FFC, DA1, Greg's notes)
  • Spirit of the Moon - A Skandaharian Werewolf ruling a tribe of Lycantropes in the Wolf Wood. His rival is the Prince of Wolves who also leads a tribe in the Wolf Woods (DAB p 142). In my campaign, this character's birth name is Mani Torgeirsson.

  • War Chief Slygon (Return to the Black Moor, Foundations of Blackmoor)

I never thought about reviewing the MMRPG adventurers for this search... I'll try to keep it in mind in the future.

Svenny was a younger son of a Skandaharian, Iver Zvenzen, who settled in Blackmoor after a raid. He wasn't going to inherit the family farm, so he bacame a guard at Blackmoor castle. That was part of my backstory.

Very cool!

It makes sense that some Skandaharians would want to settle near Blackmoor, similar to the history of Norsemen on the British Isles etc. 

Thank you for sharing! I will add Iver and Svenny to the list!

If you're willing to accept Blackmoor Foundations as an official publication, there's Slygon the leader of the Skandaharrians in Return to Black Moors.
