The Story of Bjorn

Skyrim Fan-fiction

The story of Bjorn starts off as him as a boy. He was born in a small settlement of an ancient off-shoot off the nords called the Skaal in the northern part of Solstheim, an island off of the north-eastern shore of Skyrim. It was about a 3 day trip from Windhelm to Raven Rock, a moderate sized settlement of Dunmer. From there, travel north for about a day and you will find it. This settlement, having no established name, had a population of no more than 30. But, back to the story of Bjorn.

He was born to a woman named Atha, the town potion-maker. She died shortly after his birth and his father had died hunting Netches. When he was born, he remained in custody of the town shaman and town-head. He grew up as close friends with his daughter, Frea. His childhood was as basic as a child living in the Skaal village. And once he was old enough to wield a bow, he has hunted wild game along his life-long friend. When he was around 25 years of age, he became bored with his town and wanted adventure.

"Storn, I need to talk to you." Bjorn said as they were setting down for a dinner. Frea was out doing some gathering with other women.

"What is it my son?"

"Please don't call me that. We both know that you aren't my real father."

"I am sorry, Bjorn. What did you need?"

"I want to leave the village. I am so tired of the same thing day-in and day-out. I want adventure."

"You ask alot my s- Bjorn. I don't think this is wise for you."

"I don't care! I want an experience that will put a fire in my stomach and make me want to continue!"

"If you insist. But you must leave before Frea returns. She will not react well with this at all and I don't want her lashing out at you." Storn said, as his eyes started to tear up and his face started to become red. He was loosing the only thing he had close to a son after all. "Here is the fare for the boat. Go south to Raven Rock and talk to Gjolund Salt-Sage. He will take you to Skyrim" he hesitated "I hope you find what your looking for."

"Thank you, Storn." Bjorn said, his eyes also starting become moist.

"Just hurry, Frea will be back soon."

And just like that, Bjorn gathered up a week's worth of food, his Carved Nord Armor, two Carved Nord Swords, and his hunting bow & arrows, and set off south towards Raven Rock.
