Persona
Alheydis is the daughter of German merchants who settled in Riga after its inclusion in the Hanseatic League. Not one to be content with the life of a merchant, Alheydis took up the cross to campaign against the pagans and Rus of Novgorod. Having fallen in with a crusading order she quickly became their most zealous convert, earning the nickname 'the Evangelist' for her tireless efforts to convert those not familiar with the 'Ways of the Dude'.
