Aefor the Great

Aefor the Great, also known as Aefor Ohícaskbeyarn (Troiyan: Aefor, son of Dawn), was a legendary and perhaps mythical figure in Troiyan history, who founded the city of Aeforia (modern day Aalborg), and was a major figure in the establishment of Troiyan identity. His life is written about in many books, and is talked about in both oral folklore and song, although the main record of his history is the Yodr Nortluundwair, a collection of biographies and poems about the early Troiyan peoples ("Nortluund"), considered to be at least some what historical.

Early Life
Aefor is said to have grown up in Sjarthiel, a large fishing village on the Eastern coast of mainland Troiya, around 718 or 717 BC. His parent's identities are unknown - some sources have said that they were completely un-noteworthy, while others say that they were significant nobility, or even deities. Wherever they came from, the Chief ("Weynaldra"), called Orwenyb, of the village's opinion of them became sour, and he executed both. However, he took pity on the young Aefor, and adopted the boy as his own.

Growing up as essentially royalty - he lived in a stone house, while others lived in wooden shacks and mud huts, received respect from those elder his age, and had a great education, superior to many around him. Due to the Chief's love of him, his step siblings were jealous of him, and tormented him. In his teenage years, however, his step father grew cold towards him, and in some counts, abusive. Eventually, he turned into a rebellious man. The events of his childhood climaxed when his stepmother revealed the fates of his true parents, which led to Aefor challenging Orwenyb to a swordfight. He won against the aging man, however refused to take the crown and exiled himself in shame.
