Ulfrick is a man who has seen many hardships in his life, too many some would say. He grew up in Harwick, a town to the far north-east of The Riddermark. Ulfrick had a relatively happy and normal upbringing, being the son of a farmer. He never cared about his fathers trade however, too boring for his taste, he wanted something more exciting. So when the riders of the local Eored were leaving for a campaign he would always go and look, and hope that one day he could be one of them.

When Ulfrick turned twelve his dream came true. His father allowed him to leave for Edoras and join the Eored of Elfhelm, First Marshal of the realm. There it was that he truly learned to swing a sword and ride a horse. Ulfrick could not be more happy.

Eventually Ulfrick married and sired a child. He knew that if war broke out he would have to leave his family behind, Edoras was not very defensible and he feared what would become of them. So he decided to move his family to Helms Deep, while he remained in the capital to serve his Lord.

One day everything changed, he was banished for ignoring an order, forced to leave the lands of Rohan on decree of Théoden King. So after sending his family a letter, explaining the situation, he left. Bree-town, he decided, the safest place for him right now. He would send for his family when he settled.

That was almost ten years ago. And it is up to you to figure out what happened.
