Vigil

Warmaster Forgal Kernsson “You may win the battle, dragon, but you will never defeat our spirit!“ “I am Forgal, son of Kern. My father was the last Dolyak Shaman! I am a Warmaster of the Vigil! You will never make me kneel!“

“

I AM NORN!

— Lifa Soldis

Lifa Soldis roughly translates to House Goddess of Life.

Defeat Our Ancient Foes ("strength to defeat ancient foes") — I keep my body strong so that I can defeat our ancient enemies and protect the Great Lodge.

Ferocity ("ferocity") — I'm ferocious. Threatening violence gets me further than anything else. I'm a natural, though I do try to use my powers of intimidation for good.

Raven — Raven, clever and wise, guides us with truths that others fear. He bestows a far-seeing clarity of mind. In my vision, he spoke of riddles and opened my eyes to secrets that few others can see.

---

The Spirits of the Wild that led the Norn south during the exodus have long been silent and rarely answered any but a chosen few. That was until recently. It seems the Spirits have unleashed a Call of the Wild that calls not only the Norn but all those who would seek their Legend.

The bond between a ranger and their pet has been strengthened and they can now meld together as one pack enhancing their strengths. These are the Soulbeasts.

Lifa has traveled far to the North and learned to imbue the light of the Borealis in to her weapons and armour so that no matter how dark the days ahead may become she will always be able to illuminate the darkness and serve as a beacon of hope for those who may have lost their way.
