The above paragraph is the only part that appears on the kingdom page or your guild page.  Be clear to summarize anything listed in detail below in the paragraph below.  From here on down you can add anything you want about the kingdom or capital.  Remember, this is the early medieval period, kings had to enforce their laws, staff will not help you enforce your laws, you will have to enforce them yourselves as players in UO and in RPCSS.

I have provided a list of suggested topics for you to fill in.  Remember you are not writing history for the kingdom or the capital, but are rather providing how things are done now under your rulership.  If you have something you think should be canon for the kingdom or capital please contact Lara to find out where that information should go.

Yrsahel.jpg

In a world much like that of earth, there came a young goddess by the name of Yrsa. She was born of two Vanir, Freyr (The Lord) and Freya (The Lady), the children of Njord, a northern sea god. Yrsa, a young godling, fond of the Alfar to whom she was their princess, and the Jotunn by whom she was secretly raised, came to hate the cruel treatment done to Tyr, the god of law, once the father of all. She was a very young girl when his hand was bitten off by Fenrir, chained by Odin, and she wept that the great beast was shackled and chained.

She was only fourteen summers when she led those of the Alfar and the Jotunn east of the sun and west of the moon, far into northern frozen Helheim. Tyr, the lawful one, went with her, and when she, Yrsa, was trapped in Helheim by the goddess Hel, Tyr lead their people down into the lands of Valgard where they settled.

Yrsa, still a child would grow into her power in the lands of Helheim, she would eventually trap and overpower Hel, binding the power of two death goddesses together. Her mother’s legacy gave the young godling the right to claim half of those fallen in battle. With the union forged in Helheim, Yrsa now a grown woman would truly become battle maiden and crone. Hel/Yrsa would take on their iconic image of half beautiful woman and half aging hag.

In her role as Hel, Yrsa she returned to the lands of the Aesir to free Fenrir from his chains, thus bringing about Ragnarok in those lands. She would put the chains on Odin, and call him Grimnar, the shadow one, so that Fenrir might drag the Aesir All-Father about as he wished. She would pass again through Helheim, and come down into the lands of Valgard to rejoin her people.

In time they would settle with the others of Valgard, the Frem who would become the Ceiki and Soiba, forging a united people. She would take to her bed the sea god Manannan Mac Lir, and when Tyr merged with the younger and virile gaelic god of law, oaths and truth, Lugh the Shining One, he would become her husband beside the stormy sea god.

With the power of Fenrir, and the chained Grimnar she would come fully into her power as battle maiden, fertility mother, and death crone. An age of prosperity would settle upon Valgard as she and her husbands and allies sworn never again to be chained or subdued. In time, they would come to know of Sanctuary, and she would set her eyes upon the Arcanum Crystal, determined to win such power for those of her people in all of the realms still under the yoke of ego and whimsy.
