# Fjord Godbrand

Godbrand is a bounty hunter, a slave catcher, and above all else, a warrior with a sense of honor. A proud Fae with a domain over the sea, he was always one to enjoy the inherent freedom of sailing over the open waves. Until one day, when he encountered the conquerors of DeLune. He was initially turned by a lesser member of House Bonnair, and was forced to deal with the ramifications of his new hunger. After proving his worth in combat and in seafaring, Fjord has become powerful enough to cement his bloodline into others. He uses his enhanced charisma and warrior philosophy to inspire crews of like-minded individuals to join him, and become turned to his cause. While Godbrand holds no inherent loyalty to any faction, he does understand the value of gold and silver.

# Godbrand's Mercenaries

Mercenaries are always a necessity for a dangerous life on the sea. This necessity is only increased when you add to it the inherent mental dangers of the Sea of Dreams, or the abrupt physical harm that rises from the Sea of Stones. Bounty hunting and slave catching is a dangerous business, one that only the most brave, hardy or foolish would attempt. Godbrand chose the former qualities in his men. The noble Krokun, evolved from Zarosian Orcs are masters of military might and skill. Combining these formidable soldiers with his own bloodline, he has created a ruthless force that will follow him to the ends of the land, and the sea.

# The Sawblade

Ships are, of course, the most effective way to travel at Sea, and Godbrand is not without one of his own. The Sawblade, crewed by his band of Mercenaries has made quite a name for itself among runaway slaves and those with bounties on their head. When you see it's prow, armed with twin cannons and a brass ram, pointed towards you, it's clear that the most renowned hunter has his eyes set on you. Armed with harpoon guns, boarding planks, and cannon, this beast of a ship has withstood quite a beating, and can clearly dish out it's own. Some claim that it's masts are made of human skin, or that it's structure is more bone than wood...
