Sigurd first learned the sport of Bel in Tir Asleen. Originally he was entirely devoted to the red sword but eventually found love for sword and board (which he is much better at). He was elected Marshal (secretary) in the Spring of 2013. That fall, first [[Ursyne]] then [[Gorlock]] convinced Sigurd of his ogre-ness. Shortly after Gorlock offered a sponsorship into Horde. Finally after Spring Wars 2014 he accepted and completed his Prana'kai of Awakening at Oktoberfest 2014. His challenges included wrestling Ursyne and defeating the pair of Gorlock and Inanna. During that final fight Sigurd kicked Gorlock's boot and broke a toe. The same day he fought a exceptionally long day of heralded battles with Alachi to complete his Prana'kai of Blood.

'''Lore:''' Sigurd was born the second child and only son of Amund Shatter-hip Geirmundson in 860. Amund settled in Raumarike after marrying Sigurd’s mother but was born over the mountains in Trøndelag. Amund had many adventures in his youth including sailing with Bjorn Ironsides on the great raid of Rome. After his return, Amund settled becoming a farmer and carpenter. Harald Finehair, the king, often called on Amund and commissioned him to build his war ships.
+
In the next year Sigurd focused greatly on lore and worked with Ghanima to kindle a ogre cultural revitalization. At Oktoberfest 2015 Sigurd underwent the shaman rites (the first structured rites for his race) organized by Shaman Ghanima. Afterward he took on the title of Shaman of Utezni and continues to expand ogre lore and culture.

When Sigurd was born a stranger wearing gray robes and a pointed hat visited his family. The stranger told Amund that Sigurd was to be tutored by Dag Ormseeker, a famous skald and rune-wise galdr who lived nearby in Vestfold. Amund did as told and Dag educated Sigurd in the runes and skaldic tradition. Sigurd learned how to work a bow and turn a sword from his father and a grizzled old man named Thorstein.

Nearly a hundred years ago a troll named Rjodbrand came to Raumarike. He terrorized the people for many years until the people were able to convince him to leave the people in peace. Rjodbrand lived far from them in a hidden valley deep in the woods. It came that one winter a great storm blew down from the north - the worst in living memory. Rjodbrand stirred from his valley and slaughtered six families and their animals leaving their bones to be found by their neighbors come spring. A local hothead named Thorgeir volunteered to slay the beast in retribution. Eight other men joined him including Visund. Sigurd was among them too since he knew the land better then anyone and was one of the few who could find the troll's home. When they confronted Rjodbrand, the troll leaped forward lopping Thorgeir's head form his shoulders. The remaining men fled from the troll, save Sigurd and Visund. While Visund wrestled the troll to the ground Sigurd grabbed the troll's sword, Ithrund - the only weapon able to pierce the beast's hide - and stabbed him through, pinning him to the ground and killing him.  
+
As shaman, he devised and implemented chieftain trials and named Gorlock chieftain of the Karanduawn, the first official ogre chieftain.

Shortly after, the itch to stretch his legs spurred Sigurd to leave home and seek his own fame and glory. He came to Trøndelag where his uncle Bjarni arranged him transport on a merchant ship to Ireland, and from Ireland to Wales. Sigurd hoped to join the war band of the Great Heathen Army that had warred in England since Ragnar Lodbrok's death some years earlier. King Guthrum was preparing to invade Wessex, the last Saxon kingdom in England. Sigurd joined the war band of Ubbe Ragnarsson. Ubbe warred in Wessex through the winter and into the spring when the Heathen Army was utterly defeated. Ubbe fell and the Saxons captured his raven banner at the battle of Cynuit. Sigurd was ashamed that he had not fallen beside his chief. A stranger then appeared by the fire and gave him the hide of a wolf. He said, "Tomorrow is a Hunter's Moon. At nightfall, you will transform into a wolf. Go into the Saxon's fort and you will retrieve the raven banner." Sigurd did as the stranger said and retrieved the banner, killing Odda of Devon who was commander of the Saxon army. The next day a party of mounted warriors tracked him back to his camp where he and a few other Norsemen took refuge. A Christian priest among them claimed Sigurd to be a servant of hell. The Priest had seen Sigurd the night before and recognized his eyes as the eyes of the demon wolf. Sigurd did not deny the priest. The party attacked but the Vikings easily beat them. Sigurd then drowned the priest in the nearby river. From then on Sigurd was Úlfhéðnar, or a warrior blessed by Odin to fight with the cunning ferocity of a wolf and who could transform into one at the will of Odin.

Ribbs, tribemate of Bones, was Sigurd's second feral.

Sigurd and his small band then joined Guthrum's army and took part in the defeat at Edington. When Guthrum bent the knee to the White Christ, Sigurd took possession of a ship and set about raiding Ireland until the next year. He and his men departed for Iceland. After leaving the Faroes, a great storm blew their vessel many hundreds of miles south of Iceland where they found another isle. As Sigurd would discover it was the home of the [[Birdpeople]], the Isle of Wind and Bone. Sigurd mapped the island and agreed to take one of them aboard. The pluckling named Cyrano. Before leaving the Isle he raided a mining village filling his boat with gemstones and food.

After a month at sea sailing against the winds, the crew at last came to Iceland. After overwintering there, Sigurd and his crew set off for Norway. While visiting his uncle, Bjarni, Sigurd went hunting and stumbled upon a wandering troll, or so Sigurd thought. Turns out this creature was something much worse; he was an ogre. The Norse is unaware of the differences between trolls, ogres, orks, or goblins. This ogre explained many things to Sigurd because (much to Sigurd's suprise) Sigurd was himself of the ogre kind. The ogre could tell Sigurd's the look and smell that they were kin. Sigurd surrendered command of his ship and joined the ogres in the wilderness to learn more of monsterkind (if they didn't eat him first).

Sigurd first learned the sport of Bel in Tir Asleen. Originally he was entirely devoted to the red sword but eventually found love for sword and board (which he is much better at). He was elected Marshal (secretary) in the Spring of 2013. That fall, first Ursyne then Gorlock convinced Sigurd of his ogre-ness. Shortly after Gorlock offered a sponsorship into Horde. Finally after Spring Wars 2014 he accepted and completed his Prana'kai of Awakening at Oktoberfest 2014. His challenges included wrestling Ursyne and defeating the pair of Gorlock and Inanna. During that final fight Sigurd kicked Gorlock's boot and broke a toe. The same day he fought a exceptionally long day of heralded battles with Alachi to complete his Prana'kai of Blood. In the coming weeks he recruited Bones - a golbyn - as his feral.

Sigurd decided not to run for reelection in spring 2015 preferring that one of the able bodied new folk take his place. Bones, his then feral, succeeded him as marshal.

In the next year Sigurd focused greatly on lore and worked with Ghanima to kindle a ogre cultural revitalization. At Oktoberfest 2015 Sigurd underwent the shaman rites (the first structured rites for his race) organized by Shaman Ghanima. Afterward he took on the title of Shaman of Utezni and continues to expand ogre lore and culture.

As shaman, he devised and implemented chieftain trials and named Gorlock chieftain of the Karanduawn, the first official ogre chieftain.

Ribbs, tribemate of Bones, was Sigurd's second feral.
