Wallace was a 9th century Anglo-Saxon tanner and the younger adopted brother of the hunter Petra. The two lived in Ravensthorpe in Ledecestrescire, where they provided hunting and tanning services to the settlement's residents.
Biography[]
Little is known of Wallace's origins; Petra's family discovered him as a foundling by while tracking a white elk in an English forest. They adopted and named the child, who would grown up to join the family's trade of taxidermy and procuring game meats, specializing in tannery.[1] When the Raven Clan Vikings landed in the country in 873, he and Petra joined them in Ravensthorpe and set up a make-shift tent from where they conducted business.[2] After the clan's shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir renovated their tent into a hunting cabin,[3] Wallace continued offering his services to the community, preparing the hides and mounting the heads of any kills people brought in.[4]
Later that year, Wallace took a trip to Peterborough and bought many tanning liquids, then made his way home along the roads from Medeshamstede's abbey in Lincolnscire. Loaded down with inventory, he decided to make camp at the Temple of Pluto and collected some mushrooms to add in a soup. However, being unversed in mushroom hunting, he accidentally picked hallucinogenic fungi and their spores induced a psychoactive effect. When he recovered, he found himself naked in the woods and far from his supplies. With no other options, he sneaked back to the settlement, grabbed some new clothes, and prepared to recover his tools. On his way out, he met Petra and Eivor, who had gone looking for him when he did not return on time and had also fallen under the spores' influence.[1]
