As told by
Fjorgynn himself:
"Since a few of you have shared your
past, I decided to follow suit. For those who don't know me, I am
Fjorgynn, a Half-Giant Berserker. I was not the product of a brutal
rape, and my parents are still both alive. This may sound hard to
believe, but my father, a Giant, and my mother, a human love each other
very much. They met, and fell in love. They both received a lot of
grief about it.
"When they wanted to start a family,
there were problems, as many of you are probably imagining. They went
to a mage, who after lots of money, and time, gave them a potion to
help them. Nine months later, I came along. I was raised far from any
other people, to the North. I was a very hyperactive child, with the
fiery Giant blood in my veins. On the other side, my mother gave me the
compassion, the love a giant doesn't have.
"I learned to swim with the polar bears,
and constantly worked to perfect my physical form, as it was my one
asset. In time I realized that my mind wasn't as dense as I feared, but
that was a long time coming. I trained to be a fighter, and the cold
helped to deaden my nerves to the pain. My parents were so proud of me
when I brought home a polar bear pelt, my first kill. A few years ago,
I got a bad case of wanderlust, so I left my family and struck out on
the road.
"Unfortunately my sheltered life was less
than adequate in readying me for the real world. I was shunned by most
humans, and feared by the rest. I was driven away from almost every
city I entered, until I came to Moorgate, where you all were especially
kind. Those of you who know me, know I am a good, honest person. This
place is as much my home, as the one I left to the North (Here, the
scroll seems to be a bit damp) and I will defend it to my last breath,
you know it for the truth."
