Chronicle Content
Descriptions:
Irwinn - Father
Age: Early sixties
Irwinn is an old and bastant man. Even if he have more weight around his waist than what many would consider healthy, he still holds a posture of a proud man. He doesn't seem to have difficulties wearing his heavy armour despite his age. Same goes for his sword, shield, spear and javelin wielding arms. His movement in combat is of someone that would have seen many battles.
As a man of righteousness and honour, Irwinn doesn't think twice about taking actions against injustices and people of dishonour he comes across. Which could make him come across as quite the bold person.
Irwthryth - Eldest Son
Age: Late twenties
Like many other people of the Mark, Irwthryth is taller than the average man and bright eyed. His body seems to be in proportion to his profession.
The various scars on Irwthryths face, along with the well grown beard makes Irwthryth seem older than he is. A first guess for most would be that he is in his mid thirties.
In battle he moves with the bruteness caused by anger and bloodthirst. Which makes him rather inappropiate for leadership material, however, a good companion to break defences and the strength of masses.
This is a contrast to how he may be percieved in non-threatening surrounding. Where his actions and speech is calm and well thought through. Keen to show respect towards people who deserve it. Offering a warm and plesant smile while conversating.
He is often seen with a pipe in his mouth rather than a tankard.
Irwfrith - Youngest son
Age: Mid twenties
Military Careers:
Irwthryth:
Irwthryth started off joining the Weardmanns (Guardsmen) of Aldburg in his late teens. Due to distinguished service he was promoted into the Éored of Aldburg, patroling the fields of Eastfold and East Emnet in large expeditions. Securing the eastern borders of Rohan. But also travelling north to the Wold, securing the northern borders as well the edges of Entwood.
Having seen much of eastern riddermark during his years of service, Irwthryth asked to be replaced to the western parts of the land in combination with reports of rising tensions there. His will was granted and he joined up with the Éored of House Edelwine.
During an expedition near the Gap lead by Edelred, to investigate reports of Orc activity, the Éored set camp close to the Isen during nightfall. With the disguise of darkness and the rumbling sound of the river, a larger force of orcs managed to sneak up on the resting Riders and caught them off guard during an ambush. Not many Riders escaped, but those who did retreated west into Dunland where many also disappeared or perished. Irwthryth on the other hand was knocked unconscious and left to rot on the field.
He came to his senses during daylight, by a dunlending trying to strip him off his armor.
