The Brunder are a clan that trace their origins back to a great hero of the same name, who with the blessing and assistance of the Goddess Gefjon, killed a terrible giant that was terrorizing the northern reaches of Jutland. After being expelled from their ancestral homelands by an act of treachery, they fled across the sea to Viken. In their new homeland, they established ties with the declining Clan Hellveig, and fought a war for their independence against the hostile Gunnar. Today, the Brunder compose of a hegemony of the lands of the exiled Brunder, amalgamated Hellveig and conquered Gunnar.

As the sole surviving heir of Siggard Magnusson's bloodline, he led the Brunder clan across the sea to Viken in 681. At the time aged 16, he was heavily advised by his uncles. Over the following years, he was to show an aptitude for military command, leading the campaign against the belligerent Gunnar Clan and eradicating them.
