retreat to their ship. His clansmen had to restrain him
when he started to chase the ship into the sea.
Three full days passed before Falkis opened his eyes GM NOTES
again. It was several weeks before he fully recovered
from the injuries he had unknowingly received during the _________________________________________________
battle. When his recovery was complete, the Valhakar
elevated him from clansman to huscarl and gifted him
_________________________________________________
with the armour and weapons appropriate to his new sta-
tion. Since that day, no one has dared utter jokes about
his stature. _________________________________________________
Falkis has become even more devoted to the worship
of Sarajin since his elevation to huscarl. He has never _________________________________________________
made another request, realizing that the icy lord’s boons
come with a price. He has learned how to work himself
into a berserker rage at will, though he uses this gift spar- _________________________________________________
ingly. So far, he has never injured a friend while the blood
lust was upon him, but he fears that one day his violent _________________________________________________
rage will claim the life of a fellow clansman by mistake.

HOOKS _________________________________________________
Mistaken Identity. The PCs hear tales of a Khuzdul

You’re making me angry. Falkis stops at a tavern
or inn while travelling on thran business. The PCs witness
(or participate in) some taunts and jibes about Falkis’ _________________________________________________
height. The huscarl tries to ignore the taunts, until some-
one pushes him too far and things get physical. The PCs

are pulled into the fray.
Axe throwing contest. Falkis is organizing an axe-
throwing contest during the Ilbengaad festival. He asks _________________________________________________
the (martially inclined) PCs to participate. Each competi-
tor gets three throws at a mark. The most accurate throw _________________________________________________
wins a huge tankard of honey mead.
