Biography:





Garðar - This place was once known as Slaana, when it was not inhabited by anyone but a bunch of animals who once roamed the mountains like mountain lions and goats and other such beings visible to humans from a distance to earthworm and other such dirty crawlers too. This land was first found and inhabited by the farmers. But soon farming ceased to exist in this place for a brief while and humans migrated from this area to other places such as the Phaos,Khanguran,Ruibdhar and some even went out of the Isle and to Albion and the land's original ancestors had even left for Ruskan Kyvaa. Although it is not sure they had reached there. But history took its change when a group of 5 young Elves who some claim was part of the Eirelanni while some other claim the Elves came from Elbatirean regions while some even claim that these Elves were part of an ancient set of Elves outcasts from Goidel.But about a few years after the people entirely abandoned these mountains, these 5 Elves re-found this land forsaken by humans. The young but hot blooded Elves wanted to claim this magnificent land for themselves. This thought was elevated when the Elves found large chunks of gold in the banks of the river that flowed through the side of Garðar then known as Slaana. It was firstly decided that they will divide the land into 5 parts and rule each part. As per plan they decided to act and claim this place. But the rumor of gold made a flock of human soldiers led by a king Signyr (whose name was successfully cleared from the texts of history by the later Baron) swarm into the barren snowing mountain’s foot where the river of gold flows. The Elves were furious to have their treasure get stolen and that led to years of war between the Humans and Elves. The 5 Elves had called upon their Elves brothers in arms and offered promising share in the gold.





The war lasted longer than expected as the king and the 5 Elves proved themselves to be quite resilient.Many of the Elves who were owed gold died without having a lineage to claim. The war ended when one of the 5 Elves, A Elves by the name of Thror Björn, Infiltrated the castle of king Signyr but he was nowhere to be found and instead found his beautiful young daughter Solveig. As a way to afflict the king with an unbearable strike Thror defiled Solveig.But Solveig’s misery didn’t end yet.The barbarian Elves managed to smuggle her out of there unconscious and once he was back with his Elves Brothers Thror shared his find with them. By the time the king knew his precious daughter was missing,the king came running to the Elves and surrendered in exchange for his daughter.But the damage was done.Solveig was pregnant.The Elves rejoiced about their victory. On the night of celebration.Greed took over Thror and he poisoned the other 4 Elves’s drinks and killed them and set fire on the camps of the Elves to whom Thror owed gold.The Tyrannical Elves butchered off all who stood against him and made the wives and mistresses of the other 4 Elves, his own while also naturally killing off all the heirs of his dearest 4 Elves. Meanwhile Signyr wanted to clear the seeds of sin inside Solveig.But Signyr was killed by Solveig in an attempt to save herself and her unborn baby and ran away in the mist of the night.


As all this happened Thror Björn took power of the land of mountains and named the place Garðar. Thus making the house of Björn’s first Baron .Solveig didn’t have any place to go and spent most of her ten months living in the streets doing odd jobs and after those ten months of hard laborious life she gave birth to a baby boy. She named him Ragnar. The boy was an Taoar whose father was unknown and he was a brave and courageous boy. He was a sweet child.He was destined to be a sweet child but destiny changed its course when Ragnar found his father Thror.By now Thror was having a lot of mistresses and was living a life of ultimate luxury. Thror had every luxury a man can have and he was living at the top of all the pleasures built up from the tears of his citizens.Everything was splendid for the Baron but he had no luck with having kids so he brought Solveig and Ragnar to the place. Soon Thror’s Infertility made him raise questions on Ragnar’s fatherhood. Thror took out his anger on Solveig and Ragnar and one day out of pure anger and with alcohol in his body, Thror brutally beat both Solveig and Ragnar up and Solveig unable to bear the beating, died right in front of Ragnar by the arms of Solveig. Thror’s wives treated Ragnar worse than how they treated their subjects and one night Thror’s wives tried to kill Ragnar to not make him king in the future and they hoped to bear the future king in their womb but Ragnar was smart and that night he fled the place and then it was laborious days for Ragnar and he had to join a group of mercenaries to survive and make a living. This is where he met his gang of people who later became him most trusted allies.He came back to the kingdom years later and then his father Thror had grown old and Ragnar had became a Barbarian.So like the heir to the Barony he is he asked his father for his throne. Thror insulted Ragnar’s mother and called her a street whore who served 5 men at the same time and also told Ragnar the story of his birth which was never told to him by his mother either out of not wanting to remember the horrors or because of the fear of inflicting her own trauma to her lovely child. Ragnar without letting Thror insult his mother more. He burned Thror in front of the people and killed all who stood against him in a mad rage and bloodlust and thus established the current rule of the house of Björn.



During the rule of Thror the land of Garðar was nothing but a fortified wasteland. People of Garðar were poor and were facing famines continuously and the social and economic forces exerted a harmful impact on the structure of the land’s income distribution and the ability of its agricultural sector to sustain the populace. The royals took huge amount of food and other materials and lived in extreme luxury while the commoners died of starvation and malnutrition and the harmful processes didn't stop there and the royals simply kept adding new and new taxes and increased the currently existing taxes such as increasing household tax which stated that the house living people should pay tax according to the bill send by the royals.Population tax which stated that a house having more than 3 people should pay extra tax to the royals etc. stagnant agricultural productivity, increased social stratification, and alienation of the commoners from their landholdings were all results of Thror’s rule as a Baron The interaction of these left clearly defined social and economic groups mired in poverty and indebtedness,The commoners were unable to cope with economic shocks or maintain their access to food beyond the nearest and sometimes even that was scarce and people were punished badly for breaking any laws implemented by the Baron. The people faced numerous, complex and sometimes sudden shifts in their situation and Millions were vulnerable to starvation and death.



But all that was changed when Ragnar burned Thror in front of the people. Ragnar took the rule of Garðar. People were initially reluctant to believe that any change would happen. But with the help of his trusted ministers and with his constant looting and raiding of the rich he managed to change the face of Garðar.People of Garðar were no longer poor and were facing famines. The new Baron built Moats and other facilities to bring water to the fields and to the land. The social and economic forces which exerted a harmful impact on the structure of the land’s income distribution was changed when incomes were distributed fairly among the people based on their works.The ability of agricultural sector to sustain the populace was doubled and even foreign crops were introduced to the land and traded into other places in ships and carts.The Baron took enough amount of food and other materials to feed his army and himself and gave away the extreme luxuries for building better infrastructure and defense for the land.The Baron’s ministers made sure to promote health education and better distribution of food materials so that nobody would die of starvation and malnutrition in the barony anymore. The useful processes didn't stop there and the Baron simply kept adding new and improved rules and stopped taxing people unnecessarily.He taxed the rich who grew more rich under Thror’s rule heavily and decreased the currently existing needed taxes to a fair amount for the commoners.He destroyed the household tax and population tax along with other unnecessary taxes for the commoners and put those taxes with an increment on the rich aristocrats who never did a day’s work under Thror..Surplus in agricultural productivity, Decrease in unwanted social stratification and letting the commoners have their rights to landholdings were all results of Ragnar’s rule as a Baron. These works clearly made a difference in eradicating poverty and indebtedness.,The commoners were made able to cope with economic shocks if it ever happened again and maintenance of their access to food beyond the nearest were made possible and sometimes even being able to sell the excess production of rich crops to lands through tradelinks People were still punished harshly for breaking any laws implemented by the new Baron. But the people didn’t have to face numerous and complex situations and the new administration made sure that no sudden shift in situation ever happened again and Millions were now not at all prone to starvation and death anymore.


This all happened with the addition of a barbaric rule and that did not change. The Baron and his troops made sure to loot and plunder the rich who had something to be plundered from and was prosperous yet bloody in their campaigns leaving a trail of blood and death on the way to prosperity. It led to thieves,rapists,murderers,spies,and even royal traitors of the highest kind getting mass burial and sometimes if the baron is in a more lustful mood for blood he will collect the bloods of the punished in barrels and dump it on the corpses in the mass burial pits or sometimes the blood taken was spread on the walls of his enemy nations as a warning to what will happen if they cross him.Some of the lesser fortunate criminals got hung on the wayside tree and left to rot hung on the tree. Some were pinned to the walls by arrows or by swords and left to die and later rot in that spot. Some were put in a large pit along with the other dying criminals and got poured by hot black oil and set on fire and later the pit was filled in with sand while the fire was still burning. All these were shown to the adults who were criminals of the lesser kind as an example to what awaits them in the future unless they decide to leave the criminal life. There were lesser criminals who later joined the Baron’s army and they were good soldiers too. The land of Garðar was almost free of criminals as people didn’t need to steal and there were good paying jobs and soldiers were given good wages. All of the economic reforms that came under the rule of the new Baron Ragnar were due to the brilliance of his ministers and people in his administration.Ragnar did overview everything though.


Now,in the current day the young Baron still ruled the land of Garðar and the house of Björn with an ironfist with the world around him suffering from his cruelty and brutality.
