Eóin MacAlpin
Persona

He returned to the East where the desire to wander struck him yet again, and he entered service once more and went a-Viking. Eóin's travels took him to many strange places; while imprisoned in a small town in East Kingdom He met Rose whom hails from An Tir. After they escaped they settled in the Canton of Greyfells in the Kingdom of Ealdormere, where Eóin makes mead and tries to reign in “the Destroyer” - his youngest son Lochlan.
