The year is 125. Ragnarok has begun; giants, the Jotun, have arrived and terrorized the world, destroying everything that we hold dear. A small band of seven men and women, all of Nordic blood, tired of fighting, hold a meeting, four days before the Jotun were told to arrive and destroy their village.
Nord1: "Ladies and gentlemen, I called you all here today for one reason and one reason only; we're leaving."
Nord2: "Where do you suggest we go!? The Jotun are everywhere! They won't stop until we're all dead!"
Nord1: "I know some of you think this is a bad idea, but if we stay here, we're as good as dead."
Nord3: "How do you suggest we get out of here then?"
Nord4: "We can't just grow wings and fly away, how are we doing this?"
Nord1: "That, my good friend, is why we're taking the longships north. If we're lucky, the Eldjotun will think its too cold for them and leave us alone."
Nord5: "That's so crazy, it may just work"
Nord6: "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets get on board and lets go!"
Nord7: "I'm going t regret this..."
And it was decided; the seven would leave their homeland in hopes of getting away from the strife and war.
They readied their gear and within the hour, set sail north. They braved icy cold winds and the freezing waters. For nine months, they sailed, until they reached a land untouched by the giant's wrath. The seven stepped down, and headed inland; if the Jotun had ships as well, they would have problems with being spotted. They went east, and found themselves a mountain that stood alone. It is here where they chose to set up their new civilization; one that would stand as a safe haven away from the great strife.

Explination:
This will be a community fort of a sorts; you pick a type of job and you are of that group. The starting seven will have 4 points in a weapon skill of their choice as well, to show that we are all warriors and wish only to live in peace. They will have 1 point in a work skill.
Heres the kicker; you will work in that profession for the entirety of the fortress life. Migrants will be sent to each person for extra labor, and peasants will be either military or randomized. If you want to join in after the starting 7 are chosen, you can ask to be placed in a profession and you will be placed in there if there are people in that profession.
Here's another curve-ball; you control everything about your Norseman (being Norse Fortress mod and all). You want to spend your entire lifespan digging or making socks? You do that.
