Outward Appearance

Hooves beat into the ground, as across the green sea of grass a lone rider rode, sitting upon a large steed the colour of ripened wheat that reared its head up to shake its yellow mane in the warm sunlight. A golden mane similar to it came from the rider as the wind blew through it, raising its ends up to the sky instead of usually lying on his chest. His braided beard being blown against his neck, as clear blue eyes scouted out the horizon.

 

Smoke raised from the many chimneys of Cliving, the wooden palisades protecting the town and its people within. Cheers and clapping were roaring from within as the rider approached, his horse slowing down to a simple plod as he walked the stone steps. A deep red cloak swept over the saddlebags, hiding the fine swords and the shining armour that was contained within. He slipped his foot from the stirrup, as swinging one of his long strong legs over the horse and letting his feet plant onto the ground with a heavy thud.


Standing tall, very tall at the height of 1.98m (6'6), with broad shoulders and a barrel like chest. His arms were packed with muscles, and it was clear this man could lift immense weights. With long strides he walked to the field that was filled with people, watching a wrestling tournament taking place at the yearly festival. He stood well a foot higher above them all, and soon he had removed his armour to be in just his underarmour, joining in the festivities and competitions.

 

Soon the games were over, and once again the rider left the town, leaving behind only gossip about the Champion of the Riddermark.

Background

Born in the Fenmarch in the Folde, Torwiga spent most of his early life working hard in the lumber camps with his fathers and brothers. He was always large, and strong, and at the age of twenty-three he decided to leave the Folde to travel around the Mark. In these years he not only adventured but he also slew many threats to the Mark, taking it as training.

 

These past three years, he has entered many tournaments and won nearly them all! It is hard to beat this beast of a man!

Friends
He has many scattered around the Mark, whom he tries to see as much as he can.
Relatives
His wife, Ceolswith. His father Tormund and his brothers all work in the lumber camps around Fenmarch, his mother and sisters live within Fenmarch itself.
Rivals/Enemies
Orcs, easterlings, wargs, wildmen. Anything that poses a threat to the plains.
Loves
His wife, Winning, the winds of the Mark, the vast plains on a warm clear night.
Hates
Anything that threatens the plains, cloudy rainy nights.
Motivation
To win as many tournaments as he can and to kill as many threats that he can.
Quotes
"I bet I could lift you.."
