STARRING

NED LONGSTRIDE

A brave Nord warrior of four and thirty, the second son of Targon, who has served in the legion for many years. Honourable to a fault and known for a somewhat grim demeanour, Ned is fiercely loyal to his family and to his home of Whiterun. One day he shall take the mantle of Thane of Whiterun and Protector of the Hold from his father, and become the patriarch of his family. Ned's temper can be quite formidable when roused, but he is largely a gentle giant, albeit a stern one.

AEDAN LONGSTRIDE

The youngest of Targon's children, the twenty-eight year old Aedan has lived a relatively carefree life until now. He has spent his years wandering the wilds as a ranger and hunter, spending time in taverns and being quite the charmer with the ladies. Easy-going, cool and confident, Aedan enjoys cutting loose now and again, but his love for his family transcends everything else, even if he doesn't always act in a manner befitting of a noble family.

TARGON LONGSTRIDE

Thane of Whiterun, Protector of the Hold, Patriarch of Clan Longstide, Legate in the Imperial Legion, briefly trained by the Greybeards; Targon has done much during his sixty-six years of life in Tamriel. A veteran of the Great War, Targon has lived a life of violence, fighting in the Emperor's and Whiterun's name. Stern and no-nonsense with a commanding presence that both inspires and intimidates - even in his own household - Targon has served under Jarl Balgruuf and his father before him as a loyal and honourable vassal, part of the Jarl's inner circle and his closest advisor in matters of war.

BJORN LONGSTRIDE

Five years Targon's junior, Bjorn has fought alongside his older brother since he could first wield an axe, and also served in the Legion and fought during the Great War. A more loyal second a man would be hard pressed to find. While his brother has been proper in all things, Bjorn is far more rowdy and relaxed, though no less committed to his home of Whiterun. He is always willing to share a story about his experiences, though they are often unsuitable for children.

VANION GREENLEAF

Vanion is a skilled hunter, but not renowned for being a good warrior as he is a rather skittish sort. His fun-loving nature has made him a great friend of Aedan's and - naturally - the reciever of most of the Nord's pranks. Vanion is incredibly loyal to the Longstrides, serving them as best he can. And, seeing as this is mostly in hunting, he's done well. Somewhat innocent and naive, this Bosmer has no idea what's in store for him.

AND MANY MANY MORE!

Preamble

Several years ago, I was part of an RP called "Crimson Snow" and it's sort of sequel "Fire and Snowfall". I particularly grew to love the characters within these RPs and the story lines that were created within them. So, I have decided to revise my old RP posts and put them here in the form of a single cohesive fan-fic. For obvious reasons, I have edited out the presence of characters who aren't either canon or of my own creation (The soul exception to this is Vanion, who was a collaborative effort between myself and the marvellous Captainrex). Now it's not strictly the most lore-friendly of things I'll admit, but the characters and their stories have been exceptionally fun to write. So, here follows the tale. Please enjoy!
