Hesten clan

Hesten Clan

One of the old clans of Nilfeheim  Small and very poor clan with a tiny Burg ( just a walled Keep) on a very small island. The Hesten were very active in the Pirate Days and were a mighty clan with lots of riches, but they lost much in the fighting after the Pirate Days were over.
 * Herald sign : Horse
 * Clan Colors : Yellow on Brown
 * Current Clan Leader: Jan Hesten

They were also on the loosing side during the Clan Wars.

It is said their original Burg was leveled by an off world weapon. [1]



[1] The Hesten Clan raided the Skalagrimmson Burg by tricking the Skalagrimmsons. The Hestens pretended to be allies but then turned their allegiance after the gates were opened. Whispered legend claims they used off world weapons and killed everyone, except Egill Skallagrímsson who was not there at that day. The same almost forgotten legend speaks of Egill blowing up the old Hesten Stronghold with an Off World Bomb,reducing the Hesten Burg and Island to a tiny tip of rubble sticking out of the waves.

The youngest Hesten survived that attack because he was in Union School that day.

It took the few remaining Hesten many centuries to recover at least somewhat.

The Hesten have never forgotten and hate Egill.
