Sven the Elder was the first ever jarl of Svargrond and also the first ever in Tibia. One day, he disappeared without a trace. Many Svargrondar believe he is still alive, as his body has never been found. Also, people claim to have seen him standing on top of the Formorgar Glacier.
Sven the Elder was married to a strange witch, who had the ability to heal and could see the future. Together they got a son, Sven. After Sven the Elder's mysterious disappearance, this son was elected as the new jarl by the Svargrondar, and given the title of Sven the Younger.
