After returning from a hunt with his cousin, he was informed that the Rurics were coming back into the power fold, having quickly rode out of his small encampment to meet with his cousin, Thoromir he quickly was made chancellor like his father before him, and assisted in designing the city of Nordengrad. After the city was complete he returned to his camp and escorted his people to Nordengrad, where they were well fed, and given homes to rest their head. All though Thoromir and Torsten remained close, Torsten wanted to seperate himself from the Ruric name, eventually, alongside his uncle Jorvik Ruric, formed a cadet branch, naming it the Clan of Rosik, where Thoromir would was quite angered by the split, decided to hand them a clan hall to avoid any type of conflict bewteen the Clan of Ruric, and Rosik. After removing himself from the Ruric name, he married a young Fiscere girl by the name of Carina. A few years later, Nordengrad was in turmoil after the death of Thoromir, Torsten was of course mourning the loss of his beloved cousin, but continued to lead the Clan of Rosik through the moot, although being able to field a majority of Nordengrads population, he never implemented himself into the moot instead he nominated his Uncle Jorvik Rorik, who ended up winning the moot with a large majority over everyone else. Torsten would continue to grow the Rosiks even bigger day by day, until only after a few mere months of his uncles rule, was handed the Earldom of Nordengrad, by Jorvik. Torsten made no mistake and took up the mantle, and quickly constructed a temple where the old West Fort used to be located.
