Ylvia Skelgard was born on Year -8 Day 132 by the Combine Galactic Time in the northernmost region of Kiffex where with her two siblings and dozens of cousins she had spent most of her life and only few times left her homewolrd to visit her uncle Ygremor on Kiffu. Her life was simplistic and mostly revolved around hunting and helping her family. Skelgards have always been known artisans of various trades, most notably her father Vizimir Skelgard was a well-known blacksmith and forge always needed helpful hand. During her teenage years she found inspiration in life through art and as such one of Ylvia’s favorite pastimes was to wander the great wilds and capture the unspeakable beauty of nature on an empty canvas. Her life changed considerably as she embarked on the service in Empire and joined in the Imperial Academy.


Clan Skelgard

Clan Skelgard is an ancient Kiffar clan of Kiffex that differs from others in that facial tattoo of the clan is applied to all existing members who wish to be part of the clan and willingly participate in ancient ritual where they procure a skin or a pelt of a hunted animal. They have been known to be fierce, independent and enthusiastic warriors and artisans, and many become renowned mercenaries and traders all over Kiffex. Because Skelgards have mostly been living on Kiffex and only rarely ventured outside the boundaries of the Azurbani system, they can trace an unbroken Kiffar lineage that extends almost eons back. Most Skelgards wear animal skins and furs that they have personally skinned and acquired or cotton clothing that has been made on a traditional loom.

Tattoo resembles the clan’s symbol which is raven that forebodes death and ill omen to anyone who dares to cross Skelgard’s on ill intentions. The tattoo itself was separated into three parts; wings, tale and 4 circles of life.

The Wings: applied below the eyes and symbolizes the protection from illness, and disease. In old clan tales it is said that any symbol that was worn besides the eyes induced fear in the enemies, and protected against the abuse of power.

The Tale: applied above the lips and on the chin, it symbolized resolve in ones dedication to things and willpower to go on.

The 4 circles of Life: applied on the forehead. Pattern represents the stepping of fulfilling life. The four circles symbolize four things: life, happiness, family and strength. The last one means that only with strength of mind and body, one will be able to protect and safeguard the other three things.
