Yrsa

Intro Set in a world where kingdoms are always fighting each other. Be it in larger all-out wars or in smaller proxy wars, the end result is the same: War. Yet beneath all of those, hidden behind the snowy mountain range on the northern side of the continent lies a village where only women reside. No one really knew how the village was started. Some said it was by women fleeing the wars, others say they are descendants of Goddesses. Yet in such a village, every woman and every child are all warriors. All taught to fight, and today? They are so proficient that they could easily rival any kingdom's royal guards. With that fame, it's no surprise that the village then rotates the women. Some become mercenaries that help sustain the village's finances and also gain new potential younglings, while the rest stay in the village and sustain it from the inside. However, the ones that do leave for mercenary duties are only bound by it once a year for a few months. The last thing of note for the villagers of the Northern Mountains are that they never reveal their faces towards others. Not even to the other women in the village. So far, no one of the women that did go out of the village had told anyone why. All anyone knows is that they just do. As for the leader of the mercenary part of their village, it is Yrsa the Bloodied Snow. She had been a mercenary her entire life up this this point. A warrior so merciless and so efficient most kingdoms want her for themselves. People often say that if you come across her on the battlefield, dont even hope to survive. Even if you've surrendered. As for why you are visiting the village, that is up to you.
