History: Erak was born as the first son Sigurd Ring and his first wife, Alfsol, who died when giving birth to Erak. Only a mere year later, Sigurd had a son with his second wife Alfhild. A son that would grow up to be Ragnar Loðbrók. The two boys grew up togheter in Birca, home to a little more than a thousand citizens and the one of the largest urban settlements in Scandinavia. Aswell as the surrounding areas around Mälaren. At the age of ten however, Ragnar was sent to be raised as a ward by one of Sigurd's jarls. Erak remained with his father and was raised to be a ruler, but for every hour he spent Learning how to wield a weapon. He spent three learning stewardship, diplomacy aswell as developing a sense for justice. Sigurd died to a sickness when Erak was barely seventeen, leaving Erak as the Young ruler of a powerful kingdom with well-filled coffers. However Erak could not sit easy upon his throne. Sigurd's untimely death had fired off a series of events that almost led to Erak's family losing the power.
One of Svithjod's most powerful Jarls, Jarl Rognvald, attempted to sieze Power by claiming that Erak was only a boy. Not willing to see the sons of Svithjod spilling eachothers blood, Erak challenged Rognvald to hólmganga. Something that Rognvald out of honor had no choice but to accept.. Rognvald was strong like a bull, yet slow. Using his superior speed to land swift blows with his axe, Erak managed to wear out the older Jarl to the point were Erak could finish him off. Erak made an example of Rognvald by siezing two thirds of his family lands, knowing that this would unsettle the jarls, he also quickly began to strengthen his rule by leading several successful raids in the east, aswell as bringing in more wealth into his kingdom by trading with the wealthy east. Allowing Erak to create a more generous level of tax in the kingdom, gaining the favor of Jarls and the common folk alike. Erak proceeded by tending to his own lands and leading Svithjod in a time of prosperity, using parts of the wealth to prepare a considerable military force, for Erak has his eyes set on a greater price than just Svithjod. He has too has heard of the riches of the west...
