Excellent work Ledana, this certainly is something special. The presentation is unique and sumptuous, the attention to detail in how the character is described is so down to earth that it feels like a breath of fresh air; and the lore is on point.
I think the thing which really gets me is how real this feels. You've presented a character who I genuinely believe exists in the world. Gone is the power play associated with Kyne or the other thematic elements normally present, instead you've focussed on a character who feels natural and has an organic belief system and way of life. I have no doubt that as soon as I navigate away from this page Fjorrod will continue to exist in that world regardless of my visit. That is rare indeed.
My only concern is the level of protection. I remember playing The Swordthane on Expert and later Master difficulty. That build has a similar low-fantasy aesthetic but without a shield I was useless against a dragon and a Deathlord could one shot me unless I advanced cautiously. I know archery is your best friend here, but a small piece about strategy in certain situations to supplement your tactics section could go a long way to showing people who may be new to the game the best tactics to use. Or not, don't mind me
Great use of pictures too. The first and final pictures tell the story on their own, I think.
Edit: I think we need to see more of this character. An RP profile would be the absolute perfect accompaniment this build.
