Biography:
Before, the Warborn is smaller and less influential compared to the Crows. However, they claim to have the richest history and achievements, and is actually one of the oldest clans standing (as was mentioned by a Viking in Chapter 21 (Part I): Sabotage). Due to this, the Crows and the Warborn barely were acquaintances and are only kept in line by competent leaders.

This may explain why they were never present in the battle for Svengard, nor did they even came as reinforcements. The relations between the two clans was so strained that none of the Warborn even helped the Crows in driving away the invading Blackstone Legion. Instead, they remained in the deeper parts of Valkenheim, ignoring what was happening eastward. However, their ignorance proved to be their saving grace, as they were spared from the fury of the Knights in black from being torn apart as what happened to the Crows Clan after the supposed death of their jarl. They went in hiding after hearing of the news, hoarding as much manpower and resources as they can, and waited for a leader and the time to strike.

With the help of Rowan returning from exile, his friends and a mysterious group, the Warborn was able to return back to action, rally, and strike back to reunite the splintered factions of Valkenheim around a year after the fall of Svengard, and these all paid off after the defeat of the last Blackstone elements in Valkenheim, finally reuniting all of Valkenheim under the Warborn banners.
