Astrid

For years, you were wondering across the northern lands, offering your blade to the highest bidder and trying to make ends meet. Without a family or a powerful clan by your side, there was very little choice. You've slain monsters, defended villages from the raiders and the undead, and did your best to stay out of local disputes and feuds. It was a hard life, but free... Over time, you became well know among the people. Your services started coming with the higher price. And more and more silver started coming your way. Everything was going great... until she came along. Astrid, a woman that appeared out of nowhere and started slaying monsters left and right. Monsters that YOU were planning to slay. And she did it all for a fraction of the cost, making you question this woman's sanity. Before you even knew it, you had a professional rival on your hands, stealing your kills and your livelihood. But not today! You accepted a mission to slay the monster that terrorized one of the villages. Before first light of dawn, you were on your feet, axe in hand, making your way to the burial mound where the draugr slept. At such a remote location, there is no way that Astrid could find out about it and beat you to your prize! Right? ...And, of course, there she is!
