==The telling of Old Guard==
 
==The telling of Old Guard==
In the beginning, not long after the first wurmians disembarked in these lands BaldEagleOG came upon a vast valley of plenty not far from his settlement. Observing the great strategic potential he quickly moved his camp to the outer rim of the valley and as soon as he had scraped together a small fortune he bought a small deed from the kings trader in New Town. While this was going on Bald's friend Beowulf did the same in the innermost part of the valley. They agreed to share the bounty of the valley, and to support and help each other until their dying breath. The two spendt many a cold night by the campfire dreaming, and even more warm days in the lush forests hunting and foraging. With the historic incidents with Jenn-Kellon and Mol-Rehan they agreed on each building an army to defend Jenn-Kellon against Mol-Rehan if there was ever to come to that again. They swore in blood and went their separate ways.
+
When the first wurmians came here this land was wild and dangerous. The few trained fighters there was had their hands full looking after new town and keeping the citizens there safe from the various beasts lurking in the woods. The tales from those who left and came back told of bounty and riches hardly imaginable to those who lived their monotonous lives in New Town. The safety of selling spindles and pottery bowls to Jake every night came with a price... and that price was adventure and excitement.
  
BaldEagleOG was up at arms with his promise to BeoWulf. He had  no idea where or how to build an army. He called upon his old friends to help him out, and they did. He worked them so hard one after another fell sick and could not work another day. All wanted  to see the army rise, but none would spend their life to see it happen. In the end the only person Bald could trust was the Riddlemaster. A young apprentice with a huge heart, but unable to carry out all Balds tasks on his own. Bald was desperate to have help, and Riddlemaster was desperate to have someone to share Balds nagging commands with. They were desperate not to let Beowulfs blood-oath down.  
+
It didn't take long before BaldEagleOG decided he to deserved better than carving spindles. He started systematically exploring his surroundings looking for a more fitting camp site. He soon decided that it was impossible to navigate the thick forrest, so he started looking for a way up to the top of Big Mountain. He knew that from up there he would be able to scout vast areas and find a brilliant spot for his next homestead, only to find it was hopeless since the mountain was surrounded by vertical cliffs all around.
  
Eventually it came to the point where Bald was asking random people passing by the village for help. Once his mind was made up a stone fell off his shoulders. He waited patiently. Normally he would fend off anyone nearing the valley to protect its resources. Before long a commoner was passing by outside the palisades. He explained he had just arrived in Newtown a few days ago with some friends, and was now looking for a suitable place to settle. Bald and Riddlemaster both recognized this divine luck - by Vynora! They knew this was faith, and let the stranger in. Two days later 3 norwegians settled in outside the palisades. And before long they brought friends. Word traveled the land of the newfound prosperity in the valley, and Bald's old gang of friends started to show up in the valley, and with the newfound fortune of the norwegians BaldEagle started once again to build an army. This time at a slower pace. Taking his time to consult and cooperate with his companions. This time he could not fail - by Vynora!
+
- One day I ran into a black wolf in the forrest. I was out of water and pretty damn tired, so i was lucky he was up wind from me. I started manouvering around him, but I soon realized he had me trapped in a small valley. Having nowhere else to turn i decided to get as far away as possible and hope for him to walk the other way. While looking for a place to rest up I stumbled on to a path that looked like it was in regular use. It was no animal trail, but people out here didn't necesarily mean friends. Since i was low on food and water, and had little of any value with me, except from my life I decided to take my chances. Just a few minutes down the trail i noticed it was ascending slightly, and up ahead i could see the trail raising above the treetops that was surrounding me. That blessed wolf!
  
A overview of the valley will be added soon.

This was the first visit Bald ever made to Donner's Pass. Here he met Beowulf who had his settlement already set up halfway up to the top of Big Mountain. He led Bald to a viewpoint and Bald discovered that the forrest ha had tediously scouted for the past two days was all part of a huge valley. The size! The potential! BaldEagle and Beowulf gained each others trust, and soon enough they agreed it was a good idea for Bald to settle in the valley. They would be close enough in a time of crisis, yet have room to do their own things. An alliance was slowly forming.

Old Guard Wurm:

A successful village located in The Guards Valley on the west side of Big Mountain.
This page is a good place to look for information about this great village. specially if you're out to check our traders inventory.
