Theodoric van Orton is the reigning Duke of Normandie and a key figure in the resurgence of Norman identity in Micras’ Keltian northwest. Born in 1704 AN in Hurmu, of Norman heritage, his life has become the stuff of legend: from a military dropout and wrestling champion to the iron-willed leader who, in 1744 AN, reclaimed his people's homeland in the fires of war.
Personal life
Raised in Hurmu among a community of Norman exiles, Theodoric was steeped in the sorrow of a lost nation and tales of ancestral valor. As a youth, he enrolled in the Hurmu Military Academy, where his raw strength and tactical promise stood out — but he quickly grew disillusioned with its rigid codes and foreign doctrines. He left the academy in his late teens, disappearing from official records.
Re-emerging as a professional wrestler in the mid 1720s under the name “The Mountain of Orton”, Theodoric built a reputation across Hurmu, Keltia, and parts of Benacia for his brutal fighting style and nationalist oratory. He turned arenas into platforms for rekindling Norman identity, especially among the displaced and dispossessed.
The return to Normandie
In 1743 AN, as political unrest swept through the Keltia continent, Theodoric vanished from public view and was soon rumored to have returned to the ancient Norman homeland — now a shattered land caught between the ambitions of the Keltia Restoration Movement (KRM) and various colonial administrations.
There, he united remnants of the old noble houses, militia groups, and disaffected peasants under one banner: the Normandie Revolt Army. His leadership was not only martial but deeply symbolic — a call to reawaken a buried nation.
On 15.X.1746, the Senate of the Lakes inducted Theodoric van Orton into the Order of the Holy Lakes as a Knight of the Holy Lakes, for his work in pacifying Normandie and promoting the values of the Brida there.
