Chapter 1.0 - Introduction

Sprottenham has a coastal Northern European-esque climate, with relatively mild winters and cool summers.

 The town is located on the eastern shoreline of Hipnip Piles in an area with extensive moors and mires..

Ranveig had a visit to Sprottenham in December 2020 where Robert Bråge got to meet his father Gaute for the first time. Unfortunately I can't show the video here because of copyright issues so you would have to click the above image to go watch it on youtube.

A little background info. Ranveig met Gaute for the first time when he was on summer holiday in Sunset Valley, june 2009. Ranveig had been single for the last 5 years after she broke up with the 'Prison Warden' Fredrik Fredriksen. So she met Gaute one day, on the beach actually, one thing led to another and approximately 9 months later, Robert Bråge was born... Gaute, however, was long gone, restless soul that he was, and they didn't really keep in touch much until after Robert Bråge had started school.

At the time Gaute lived in an old run down house known by the locals as "Gufo Triste" (The Sad Owl), and it wasn't until he married Leya Chitrakaar, a local singer and painter, that he moved to a better location. Since Gaute moved from "Gufo Triste", it has detoriated even further, and is now in a really sad state. The roof damage is from an unusually strong winter storm a couple of years ago. Why the town council is letting it stand like this and isn't just tearing it down is beyond me..

Leya had relatively recently split with her boyfriend Glenn Hoddelås, the goalkeeper of the local football team, the Sprottenham Totspurs. Leya and Glenn has a daughter, Bodil Chitrakaar

After splitting with Glenn, Leya and Bodil had moved into to the Rasmussen household. That was only meant to be temporarily until she could find a place of her own, but eventually became permanent. After Gaute married Leya, he moved in as well, making it a household of four adults and two children.

So I think it is most natural to follow the Bråheim-Chitrakaar family for this town, and leave everyone else to go about their lives without me prying into their daily doings.. so, here we go!

Other members of the household:

Solvej Rasmussen, singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Freetown Ciani Tharis, Wad Nahadau.

Patrik C. Jensen, football player, Sprottenham Totspurs.

Rune Rasmussen, Solvej and Patrik's son. 

This was a very short introduction, and it has no "previous" to go back to, but there is a next to go to. ;)
