 |  More information on Grendal:
  Grendal 
                                      Olafson was born in a small village called 
                                      Norcantar. When his mother died in childbirth 
                                      he was brought up by his father and various 
                                      other women from the Olafson clan, the most 
                                      notable of those being Shelanka a priestess 
                                      of Odin. Shelanka taught Grendal the ways 
                                      of the world and the ways of the incantor 
                                      and with her guidance he became a incantor 
                                      who worshiped Odin the all father. 
  After 
                                      losing both his father and Shelanka, Grendal 
                                      became grief stricken and he spent the next 
                                      few weeks praying for guidance but to no 
                                      avail. Cormak, his cousin, came to Grendal 
                                      and told him that he was leaving for new 
                                      lands to find allies to help his people 
                                      and Grendal joined him in his search. Cormak 
                                      trained him in the use of the sword and 
                                      in the customs of these strange new lands. 
                                      They arrived many years ago now to the Unicorns 
                                      and Grendal's skills soon gained him a position 
                                      as Bodyguard to the Lord general of the 
                                      Unicorns and then the role of Captain of 
                                      the Gate guard. He worked for some time 
                                      to gain the trust and respect of the Unicorns 
                                      and made many good friends He became a Knight 
                                      of Ancalime a year after joining the Unicorns 
                                      and was Knighted after a battle with a large 
                                      horde of unliving, where Grendal showed 
                                      great courage and stupidity so the Knights 
                                      said. Grendal's Worship of the All Father 
                                      soon changed to a worship of Ancalime and 
                                      Grendal's powers of Incantation grew. Grendal 
                                      later changed his worship again to follow 
                                      Ancalime the White. 
  The next big event in his life was his Love 
                                      for Adelena, though Grendal did not wish 
                                      to mention this as he felt the Lady far 
                                      too good for him. However, sometime later, 
                                      a creature known as a love/hate Golem attacked 
                                      a small get together of Unicorns. The creature 
                                      turned it's powers on Grendal to cause it 
                                      to hate Adelena, yet Grendal resisted it's 
                                      powers, and the pair were married at the 
                                      next Gathering of Nations. 
  Grendal later was promoted to the position 
                                      of Minister of Justice before becoming the 
                                      Imperial Incantor. With Adelena's death, 
                                      Grendal mourns and swears that he will never 
                                      remarry, for his heart belongs to her.
