Ulf Jotunblod

Summary
Ulf Jotunblod is the current chieftain of the Draekheim clan. Much of the information gathered about Ulf is read from the Saga of Ulf Jotunblod and the Chronicles of Taerir, son of Daudir.

Early Life
Ulf Jotunblod (born Ulf Bjornsson), was born to Bjorn Thorinsson and Fretja Ragnarsdotter of the Ornrata Clan. Ulf was born premature, and was predicted to die by the shamans, due to his frail build and tiny size. However Fretja refused to leave the child to the wild to be devoured. Ulf lived and soon developed into a normal child. Playing at war, watching his father and brothers go off to raid, coming back with tales of strange lands, and mountains of gold. However, the men of his clan always went North, through the land of Issbio to raid rival clans and other Vaenir people. Ulf always wondered what was south, no one ever returned from the south.

Jotunblod
In his fourteenth year, Ulf grew to a massive, six foot eleven inches, towering over men twice his age. His muscles followed, as he grew into a massive individual, renown through all the Vaenir clans. Ulf was given the title Jotunblod, meaning Giants blood, to reflect his growth and size. Ulf began to join the men of his tribe in their raids, as he became a feared warrior throughout all the lands of Issbio. But he never stopped wondering what was south of Issbio.

Follower of Ragnar Fritjolfsson
In the year 0 A.S, a man wondered into the village of the Ornrata, covered in pelts of strange animals, and long hair. He spun a tale of a great land made ready for a select few as south as Issbio went. And land for great warriors, and strong women. Ulf jumped at the chance to go south, and followed this man south, eventually helping in the founding of Yggsdragrund. After Ragnar Fritjolfsson disappeared, Ulf was voted unanimously to be the chieftain of the newly formed Draekheim Clan, and to lead them to glory, and to keep the traditions of their fathers.

The Expeditions of Ulf Jotunblod
Much of the information about the Expeditions of Ulf Jotunblod can be found in the Chronicles of Taerir, son of Daudir.

Ulf promised his people glory and to keep true to the traditions of old, but instead of marching and sailing North as they had done for centuries, they would turn south to meet new people, and find new lucrative raid targets. Ulf gathered his best warriors, including the famed Taerir Daudirson and Oska Svafnir, and set out south. The expeditions of Ulf Jotunblod are considered to be the first contact the Vaenir had with the outside world, and really started the looming presence of Draekheim raiders throughout the world.
