Lets begin my father who like most barbarain warriors was a nomad.We didnt see him much but when he was around we remembered.Lurmak stares intently for a minute and continuesMy father wasnt a big man but he was loud and tough,he would come home to halas which wasn`t even a town then bruised and cut but he would smile and say it is nothing.There were 3 of us,me my sister (Lurmay) and a younger brother (lurzek).i`m am the only surviver of this generation.
I remember when father was home in the spring of my tenth year he had looked at me and told me soon i would be going hunting with him.he carried a 2 handed double bladed axe, it was his main weapon i have it still today.He was good with it,he would let me hold it or sharpen it at times.Any way i didnt have a weapon at the time i was mostly just chopping wood with a old stone axe but i could swing that axe all day long , once when i was cutting wood father had remarked,Mak your fearsome with that axe some day ours foes will fear seeing you comeing holding a pair of them,in fact he would chuckle and say that to his brothers in arms,that boy can swing a axe like none i have seen.In my 14 season i lost my father he took a orc spear to the neck, he never stopped fighting ,it happened when orcs had raided halas about 25 of them none survived and my little stone axe had gotten me my first kill.
Lurmak`s eyes turn misty,then he shakes his head and takes a deep breath,i know very little of mother she died having Lurzek, father never seemed to miss her and he never talked about her.
I have other tales and some arent very good. I have raided towns villages and even sent seige to the cat city.In most of my young life i fought for money and to gain lands and power but those are other storys for other days. i shall wait to tell those.
I have 2 sons and 1 daughter, also have a few step children i have picked up on my adventures.i am lord of a decent size village which seems to take most of time ,Lurmak chuckles but these things i have earned. i have a servant who sells my goods i get from hunts or have made by my family,i live in manor just above the village i can look out my front steep and see the people ,they are a mixed group mostly barbarains a few DE`s and van shir no humans ogers or trolls,sorry but the recent wars with them have made us a cuatous people . i think it is time to stop i have bent enough ears for now.
Good journeys and safe hunting
