The Koen’s Genealogy

Current Koen - Ivar Ajnarson: a man in his late years, Ivar can boast having led the Tyreans with great wisdom and without fear of battle. In his personal life, however, he has suffered many a loss.

 

Gjalt Ivarson: Ivar’s primogen and former Jarl of Tyris was the pride and hope of his whole clan, but died at sea on a journey to Azhur. The prince was a tough young man, well-versed in all the arts of war. It was rumoured that his death was caused by a slow-acting poison from an Azhuran enemy. In his younger days aboard the Jarlsgaard ship, Gjalt won several victories in the violent raids against Khemet. In the songs, he is referred to as Gjalt, the Wavesplitter.

 

Ajnar Ulrikson: Ivar’s father was a man of few words and actions. Some even considered him to be just a fat, lazy old man. However, those that saw him fight would always defend his honour by stating that he was the greatest warrior of his time, for he fought with a detachment from his own life that allowed him to rush into battle with a frenzied glee unparalled by his peers.

 

Ulrik Jorgson: at this time and age, few remember the real appearance of old Ulrik, the Wolfbane, and none, of his ancestors. At least in Tyris, because the Mhordul might recall a towering bearded man sending back to K’dath-Mal wave after wave of Wolfriders with the mighty blows of his war hammer.

 

Jorg Guntherson: was a very religious man. He ordered the construction of the docks near the Temple of Ohlm to ensure that it would always be supplied with everything it needed.

 

Gunther Gustavson: ordered the construction of the city’s library, to preserve the knowledge of his people and also the books and scrolls looted or traded abroad.

 

Gustav Svenson: greatly improved the internal commerce by ordering the construction of the local market, as well as the docks in front of it.

 

Sven Olafson: created the position of Jarl and assigned its responsabilities, because of the death of his father.

 

Olaf Gunnarson: was the last Koen to battle and die abroad. Before that, he ordered the construction of the guard towers near by the entrances of the city.

 

Gunnar Swainson: stimulated the expansion of the city from the lake towards the ocean by ordering the construction of the city’s main docks, the warehouses and the shipwright building near it.

 

Swain Njordson: is said to have been the responsible for the construction of the farmland’s docks and the beginning of the Tyrean tradition in seafare. It was during his time that the recipe for steel was first discovered by a smith named Runolf Odellson.

 

Njord Bodvarson: ordered the construction of the Tyrean Keep, which he himself took part in, cutting and transporting much of the wood used to create its walls.

 

Bodvar, the first Koen: all that is known about Bodvar is permeated by myths and legends. It is said, however, that Bodvar was the bravest man that has ever lived, for he was the one that led the Tyreans from a nomadic lifestyle to settle by the Tyris river, giving birth to their civilization as it is.
