Astrid Bjornsdottir

Born into one of Ko-ro-ba’s oldest and most respected families, Astrid is no mere ornament of society, she is a woman of sharp intellect and measured cunning. Her family’s wealth, amassed through trade, governance, and scholarly pursuits, has positioned her among the most influential Free Women.

From a young age, she was tutored in history, philosophy, and politics, preparing her to navigate the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that define elite circles. Though she cannot wield a sword, she wields her words with deadly precision, ensuring that her voice carries weight in council chambers and merchant courts alike.

Many whisper that she has the ear of Administrators, Magistrates, and even Initiates, and though she would never admit it outright, her influence can be felt in the subtle shifts of power throughout the city. While others seek military conquest, she believes that true power lies in knowledge, strategy, and control of resources.

Her estate, a grand villa adorned with marble colonnades and cascading fountains, serves as a hub for intellectual discourse, diplomatic negotiations, and elite gatherings. Poets, scholars, and merchants alike seek her favor, knowing that to be in her good graces is to secure a place within the upper echelons of Gorean society.
