Esben was born around the year 1781 to [[Einar Kvitravn]] and an unknown mother. Being the second son, Esben's education was more focused around being a warrior rather than a leader, and most of the leadership education was given to his elder brother [[Eyvind Kvitravn]]. Because of this, most of Esben's youth was spent training in militaristic matters and not much else. When he was not training with his Father, he was often seen exploring the extent of Norland's borders within the Arcas realm.

Esben Einarsson Kvitravn, also referred to as Esben 'The Unready' was the third eldest son of Einar Kvitravn and succeeded him as Chieftain from 6 SA to 8 SA. He then abdicated to his brother Olav Kvitravn due to the intense mental stress that came with being Chieftain of Clan Kvitravn as well as being pressured by his clanmates to resign.


Early Life

Esben was born around the year 1781 to Einar Kvitravn and an unknown mother. Being the second son, Esben's education was more focused around being a warrior rather than a leader, and most of the leadership education was given to his elder brother Eyvind Kvitravn. Because of this, most of Esben's youth was spent training in militaristic matters and not much else. When he was not training with his Father, he was often seen exploring the extent of Norland's borders within the Arcas realm.

Along with the rest of his family, Esben was brought with Norland to flee the destruction of Arcas. He was able to settle into Almaris rather easily, taking to exploring the new countryside of Norland within the realm. He continued training with his Father militarily for several years until the death of his elder brother, Eyvind. From then on, Esben's education was refocused on administrative ability. Esben often stated that he hated these kinds of lessions, preferring the more physical trainings that his Father taught him beforehand. For a few more years, Esben would go on to explore the Continent to satisfy his lust for exploration. A few years later, Esben would go on to father his first and only child named Eirik Kvitravn with an unknown tavern maid. It was about this time where his Father Einar Kvitravn would be killed in a skirmish with Trolls, and therefore the Chieftainship passed to Esben.

Mid-life

Upon the death of his Father, Esben was immediately made the new Clan Chieftain by his Brothers and the responsibility of leadership was suddenly thrown onto his shoulders. It became noticeable early on that Esben despised being chieftain, taking multiple week breaks out into the wilderness and even neglecting his own Son. As previously stated, Esben spent little to no time with his son Eirik. This caused Eirik to slowly grow a resentment for his Father, which led to a strained relationship between the two. It is often rumored that Esben's own brothers had a larger part in his own Son's upbringing which apparently didn't seem to bother the young Esben. In the year 8 SA Esben finally decided he had enough of the Chieftainship and passed it to his younger brother Olav Kvitravn after much pestering from the rest of the Clan to resign due to his increasing inactivity. Since then, Esben is hardly heard or seen by members of his own family and is believed to spend most of his days in the frozen north avoiding responsibility within the Kingdom. His young son Eirik Kvitravn was then taken in and raised by the three remaining brothers.

Later life and Death

Just as he did during his reign, Esben spent much of his later life in the mountains or the city of Varhelm. When Esben was 32, He stumbled across a group of Rimetrolls. After a relatively short fight, Esben's skull was smashed by a Rimetroll's club. With nobody around to assist him, he was left to die by the Rimetrolls and passed away only a few minutes after the Rimetrolls left. His body was soon recovered by members of the Clan and a private funeral was held near the Kvitravn manor. His possessions, including the family heirloom, were divided up by his three remaining Brothers and his Son.
