Tactician T
Tactician_T
Tactician_T, also known as Tac, Torm, or Takorm, is a retired EarthPol player best known for his leadership as the High King of Noregr during Versions 2 and 4. Known for his Norse roleplay, persistence in rebuilding fallen realms, and diplomatic efforts in Scandinavia, Tactician_T played a key role in shaping the early political landscape of the North Sea region. He has not returned since V4.
Early History – Version 2
Tactician_T first joined EarthPol on 20 December 2020, during Version 2. Known at the time as Tac or Lord Tacius, he began his political career as the High Chief of Icebergia, leading a Norse settlement that spanned half of Iceland and a province of Norway. However, the nation of Icebergia eventually collapsed, prompting the Viking community to relocate to Ireland in a temporary attempt at rebuilding.
This Irish interlude was short-lived. Determined to revive Viking civilization on the mainland, Tac and his followers sailed back to Norway and founded Jorvik, which became the spiritual and administrative center of a new Norse project.
Rise of Noregr – Version 4
Returning in V4 on 16 August 2021, Tac reemerged as Torm or Takorm, and quickly reestablished himself in Jorvik. He declared the foundation of the High Kingdom of Noregr, positioning it as the rightful Norse heir-state. Early in its development, Noregr constructed the Great Wall of Jorvik, physically and symbolically separating Viking territory from the rest of Norway.
During this period, Denmark invaded Norway, initiating a tense standoff. Rather than resorting to war, Tac engaged in diplomatic negotiations with XLNuggets, the leader of Denmark and Sweden. Their talks resulted in peace, and shortly thereafter, a new alliance was born: the formation of Scandinavia—a larger Norse superstate uniting Norway, Denmark, and Sweden under cooperative rule.
Legacy and Retirement
Tactician_T is remembered as a persistent and ambitious Norse leader, whose vision of a unified Viking realm saw repeated attempts at settlement, war, migration, and diplomacy across multiple continents. From the icy peaks of Iceland to the hills of Ireland and the fjords of Norway, his leadership helped solidify the foundation for Norse-themed gameplay on EarthPol.
Though he has not returned since V4, his legacy lives on in the historical and cultural development of Noregr, Jorvik, and Scandinavia.
