Role Name: Alasdair

IGN: BoratTheSexyGoat

Role: Grand Chieftain of the Calenrim

Alasdair was born a twin and as the fourth son of Heleth in the area that is now known as  The Wold - an aging shepherd who, soon after Alasdair and his twin-brother Saradoc's birth, died during a raid from a neighbouring tribe. Heleth's oldest son, Cadarn, took his place in leading their small family, and had been set up for an arranged marriage with the daughter of a treefeller.

Eventually, the enemy raids became more common, and Cadarn's grasp on the family weakened. Most of Alasdair's siblings abandoned their home once the resources began to dwindle. The larger nearby clans had greater amounts of brute force, and any food they possessed was gained from loot or pillaging.

Fearing of starvation, Alasdair's Tribe headed south, under the guidance of Cadarn (who was quick to take strategic command, coup the current leader, and was promptly elected as the new chieftain), where they prospered much more immensely. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by sleeping sickness, and his body was disposed of in traditional measures. Leaving behind a power-vaccuum, the people had to decide who would be the next to lead their people- seeing as the two twins both had equal rights. It was eventually left to a vote- and de spite Alasdair's greatest efforts- Saradoc was chosen to lead them due to his charming nature, and he seized Cadarn's command and Cadarn's widow nearly immediately.

Later that night, Alasdair- in a fit of rage- snuck into Saradoc's hut and brutally murdered him with a bludgeon, before raping his recently-consumated wife.

Being the last surviving relative of Cadarn, it was easy for him to sway the (now-named) Alaidrim onto his side, claiming that his twin brother was killed by a rival Tribesmen.

Using their newly-acquired resources to their advantage, they bought the nearby smaller clans into their allegiance and requested tributes of healthy young warriors to aid in the unification of the Calenhadron- which began to spread by word-of-mouth immensely under the ideals of Nationalism- allowing Alaisdar to convert the remaining Rival clan's population onto his favor, and maintain an iron fist on the recently (mostly) unified Calenrim- who have taken to giving Alasdair the epiphet of "Alasdair the Atrocious"

Now- with the arrival of the West-men, Alaisdar's rule is under threat, and his rich lands coveted by those with far more advanced weaponry..

Experience:

I am fairly new to the server, but I have lots of experience in role-playing, being part of multiple RP communities before- unfortunately, I lack knowledge about the Second Age, but I'm familiar with LOTR and The Hobbit, and am very eager to learn more!

Thanks for reading my application, and I hope to declare war on you soon!
