Appearance and Character Edit

The Crowl is not a tall man by the standards of Skagos and by the tales of giants blood running through veins of the stoneborn. He is lean and athletic of build, the evidence of the harsh nature of island perhaps either of its demands on the physicality of the body or the lack of food in harsh winters of his childhood. He carries himself with an air of confidence his stature does not reinforce. His back is always straight to take advantage of all the spine he has at least in officious situations.

His eyes are a dark blue hue. They tend to always be active, running around in their sockets to make sense of the environment they find themselves in, always looking for an escape, a hideout or an advantage.

His hair is short and dark. There is a hint of scattered bristles of hair touches his upper lip, perhaps a token to insist on his own adulthood. The moustache is certainly not as full or as bristly as it could be but its beginnings is there, a homage to his mentor and denial of his youth. It is a badge of his desire to be more mature, to be able to lift his responsibilities

History Edit

His childhood was that of most children at Deepdown, idyllic almost, at least in his own mind. It was whetstone for sharpen his being or a mold that his future was cast in.

In the earliest years, before the responsibilities of growing up had yet reached him, he found his place in the groups that formed of children at that age. The caves were the ideal playground for him and the others and they had free reign to run around and play their games in most of the small chambers. Though he was small for his age he found other ways of gaining influence in their play.

His mind were suited for finding the best hiding spot and remembering the crooks and crannies of the cave system. He learned how to lean on others and bend their will to align with his own. His clique became a nuisance to the other members of the clan. They were a constant seed for chaos and also became adept at spreading misinformation or rumors about those that tried to police their ways.

His parents took these antics to be a sign that he was old enough to take a larger part in the community as a whole and awarded him more responsibilities with helping provide for the clan. So he was introduced to the environment of the wild island he had grown up on. The outside world was harsher than the snug corridors and chambers of Deepdown and he soon learned the omnipresence of cold, in his gut and in his bones.

It was then he was introduced to older clan members, each with knowledge to impart on the young boy. Among them were Hondlr, a man about ten years his elder. He was a scout and a tracker who seemed to know everything in all the areas young Stikill found interesting. In those years Stikill followed the older Stoneborn around everywhere.

There was a lot of things to learn on Skagos. Where you could find berries and roots and game and fish. How to shoot with precision, how to gut and skin your prey. How to rebuff the worst winds and how use your surroundings for shelter, cover and cloak yourself in it.

But it helped. It helped channel his ‘excess’ energy into more useful pursuits. But on the other hand he gained new friends with skills to be used and shaped old friends into sharper tools as well. Though he still was one of the smaller boys, he found that he had power over others.

This development of his abilities seemed to culminate in 92-93 AC when Stikill came of age and men of Skagos travelled to the mainland to prosthelytize their faith and later became known as the Wolfswood Ravagers. Though it was a Stane that lead them, a few men from Deepdown also joined them, among them a cousin of Stikill named Gull.

Their actions also shaped the community at Deepdown from afar but more indirectly. The news of their actions reached the Skagos like a thunderstorm. It was not often that something off-island had such an impact. Clan Crowl went into a state of crisis. Everyone expected an aggressive response from their distant overlord at Winterfell. Everyday was marked by council gatherings to discuss the Ravaging and what actions to take to prepare a defence of the island or how to best fall on one's knees to beg for mercy.

In council with them were Stikill and a new generation of Stoneborn inspired by the sudden activity to take part in the older ways of government that existed in clan Crowl. Its theater was enticing, somehow ingrained in the foundation of each youth, already a part of them through their upbringing. The subject discussed was not important. It was the antics, the aggressive gesturing, the shouting.

Hand in hand with the discussions in council came the ‘negotiations’ in the corridors below. And it was the combination of these two facets that excelled Stikill’s fascination and interest. It felt like his destiny to take part and disrupt some of the systems in place. Still it took years of practise and maneuvering before he in 96 AC rose to the position of Crowl within the clan.
