Olaf Ragnarsønn Rimøks

Olaf Ragnarsønn is the oldest son of Jarl Ragnar Olafsønn Rimøks, and thus the hair to Nordaland. He was present at the Great Ting in 996, and participated in The Red Raid during The Third War of the North. Olaf's sword is called Istunge.



The Red Raid
During The Red Raid, Olaf saved the life of Arolf Steingeirsønn. Arolf was doing business in Tilind's Mirror, and had it not been for Olaf realizing that Arolf Steingeirsønn was a friend of Oddvar Torsønn Sølvfell, he would have been killed by the crew. That could have worsened the relationship between the Jarldoms of Norden drastically. During The Assult of Bremotte, he rescued Keugon who then became one of his retainers.

The Second Great Civil War
When The Varitinian Rebellion started - during The Second Great Civil War-, Hidenius hardly had any fleet to fight the Varitinians at all - since the majority of his fleet had been destroyed during The Siege of Cydunion. He therefore had Trygve Arnleifsønn - who was now an ally of Hidenius - send a request to Olaf Ragnarsønn Rimøks, saying that he would be payed well fighting as a mercenary for Hidenius. Olaf Ragnarsønn Rimøks accepted, and gathered a fleet of volunteers before he sailed southwards. After reaching Urbamia, he was told that his job was to fight the Varitinians, and he therefore went further south-eastwards to fight them.
