I fell into a 40k rabbit hole

I fell in love with the Wolfspear after reading the Successors anthology and then this happened suddenly:

he's my first model, go easy on me!

Wolfspear color scheme for reference:

He's a Rune Priest named Grettir from the 5th Jarldom, known for its Rune Priests, as it's head Rune Priest was the most talented student Njall Stormcaller trained in order to make sure the Wolfspear followed the traditions of Fenris.

That's it for now!

Their total income was $4,245.

Taxes - 30% of Income: $1,274 Rent: $1,000 Tithes - 10% of Income: $425 Fees: None

Total owed: $2,699

They still just have one business, which is more than they can really handle no lie. Unfortunately they did not make contact with the jarl which means their son will not be able to marry Nahid - level 2 opens up a merchant family, which adds a class "level" between yeoman and noble/gentry/jarldom.

Stragvulf, the

Among the numerous mercenary companies that ply their trade across Arkera's turbulent waters, few command the respect and premium rates of the Straagvulf Clan. Distinguished by their blood-red wolf pelts and decorated with grim trophies of past victories, these fearsome warriors have carved out a reputation as the most reliable maritime defenders in the known world.

The Straagvulf's ranks are drawn primarily from two distinct warrior cultures: the Skane and the Ivalnir. These warriors, having abandoned their traditional jarldoms and ancestral clans, have found a new purpose and brotherhood within the Straagvulf. While their origins may differ, they are united by a common pursuit of glory and wealth in foreign lands, forging a unique warrior culture that combines the martial traditions of both peoples.

The clan's expertise in naval warfare rivals that of the legendary Vandrels, making them particularly valuable in the treacherous waters of Arkera. Independent merchants seeking safe passage through pirate-infested waters and free ports requiring stalwart defenders frequently seek out their services. The Straagvulf's mastery of maritime combat, combined with their unwavering dedication to fulfilling contracts, has established them as the premier choice for those who can afford their considerable fees.

The most striking feature of a Straagvulf warrior is their ceremonial attire. Each member wears a wolf pelt, meticulously dyed a deep crimson that evokes freshly spilled blood. These pelts are adorned with an array of tokens and trophies claimed from fallen enemies, serving both as a mark of personal achievement and a warning to potential adversaries. This practice has evolved into a complex system of status and recognition within the clan, with each token telling a story of battles won and foes vanquished.

Within the Straagvulf's ranks exists a small but legendary contingent of berserkers. These wild warriors serve as the clan's ultimate weapon, deployed only in the most dangerous and crucial operations. Their presence on a battlefield often proves decisive, though the clan carefully manages their deployment to maintain both their fearsome reputation and their effectiveness. The exact methods by which these berserkers are selected and trained remain closely guarded secrets of the Straagvulf.

Perhaps the most valuable asset of the Straagvulf is their impeccable record of contract fulfillment. In a world where mercenary loyalty is often as fluid as the tides, the Straagvulf have never abandoned or betrayed a contract. This unprecedented reliability, combined with their martial prowess, allows them to command exceptional rates for their services. Despite their high cost, the certainty of their commitment has made them one of the most sought-after mercenary leagues in Arkera.

The Straagvulf operate primarily as escorts and defenders, specializing in maritime security operations. Their services range from protecting merchant vessels and trade routes to defending free ports against raiders and rival powers. The clan's leadership demonstrates remarkable strategic acumen in choosing contracts that maintain both their reputation and their influence in key maritime regions.

The Straagvulf's presence has significantly influenced the balance of power in Arkera's maritime regions. Their reliability and effectiveness have made them key players in trade relations and regional conflicts, while their strict adherence to contractual obligations has earned them a unique position of trust among merchants and port authorities alike.

The continued success of the Straagvulf stands as testament to the enduring value of absolute reliability in the mercenary trade, proving that honor and profit need not be mutually exclusive in the dangerous waters of Arkera.

Do you like your relationships messy? 

  Hetha Latvala is heiress to a jarldom, daughter of an ambitious father and a formidable mother. She’s also newly married to a man who previously sort of jilted her, and whilst the political connections make total sense, it's yet to be seen if the rest of it does. The first few months of their marriage have been up and down to say the least, and now Hetha is with child…there’s no going back.

   Oh yeah, and she illegally dissects bodies with her goth mother in her spare time.

  A much wanted character with father, sister and husband in play, as well as further played connections, there is a whole heap of scope with Hetha. End game ship, but it doesn’t need to be boring. This character has been written before, but there is still opportunity to put your own spin on her and bring her future to life.

[nylathriasoulseer]

It was difficult but Nyla had to accept Freydis complement even if she didn’t believe it herself, they would argue the point in circles if not and it wasn’t very hostly to do so. Freydis was right that they need wit, unorthodox thinking if they were going to stand a chance, but was Nyla one of those minds? Well Nyla would debate the point but if she could supply those who could and would through this store then that was a small win in her books.

A female jarl stood right in-front of her, if she had been hundreds of years younger she might have preached about the injustices, about the oppressed. She knew it was wrong but had Nyla ever felt that oppression? No. She’s only ever heard the horror stories, but this wasn’t a recent development for the country. “Are you scared that everything you fought for, your jarldom will be taken from you?” It was a very real fear and one she could understand because if nothing chances and her connection to the veil and fey were found out, well she’d go to the mines. Nyla didn’t know much about the responsibility of a title, looking out for so many but she did know regret, the lingering things unsaid. “Would you regret leaving this world without trying to change that?” Loaded question Nyla jeez.

“Well every Elvhen has an ability, some can manipulate the elements, some can speak to animals. There’s a whole array out there. Mine is to read souls.” One that has yet to help her find her wife but that was a matter of time. “Well it normally depends on how willing the soul is to be read, when we were fighting at the stones I read Lohezet soul, there was no saving them from themselves.”

“Your quick thinking shifted the tide of the battle,” Freydis insisted, her eyes shining with genuine belief as she spoke. “When the refugees of Iskaldrik fought their way to Lysara’s borders, I was caught in many fights. Ones we thought were futile, that we could never hope to win. And we did–only because of the many hands and many talents that brought wit, quick thinking, and knowledge into the battlefield. Not every battle can be won by blade and fist alone,” Freydis continued. “In fact, most these days cannot.” 

Freydis eyes scanned the ground in front of them when Nyla spoke of souls making it back to the wheel; or not. The veil maiden wanted to live, was hungry for all Taravell had to offer outside of Iskaran borders and some few things still within. But she had resigned herself to fight, including to the death if it came to that. As Nyla spoke, Freydis wondered if her fear lived truly in death itself, or fear she would never return to the Wheel to live again. Or perhaps even that if the world could not defend itself fiercely enough against the Aetheron and the Dark One that there would be little humanity left in the world she was born back into. Her expression turned grim at the thought. 

“Not enough,” she said quietly. Then again, there was never a time in Freydis’ life when she reviewed her efforts and felt they had met the mark she set for herself. “For the first handful of years, I did little but fight to maintain the title. After that wore off, I tried to make the Midlands better.” In many ways, she had. It was a frequently overlooked region, but she had brought it to some small level of prominence. It was not the home of the famed ironwood, it was not a bustling economic center full of artisans and crafters, it was not home to powerful nobles, but it was important. They produced livestock, some of the strongest horses, and most of the agriculture that upheld the kingdom, and that much Freydis could be proud of. She had made incremental improvements to the lives of fieldhands and farmers that added up over time. She had supported her parents as they aged and made sure they had comfortable lives. In a moment of perhaps avoidable rage, she had demonstrated the power of female rage and ambition in front of the whole of Orhan’s court. But she could have done more for the ignored, hidden population of Iskaldrik; those with magic in their veins. “You saw it… my connection to the veil, to the fey.” In Iskaldrik, she wouldn’t have just been sent to the mines, as a figure of authority and a woman who dared to step into the arena of leadership most felt she did not belong in, she would have been dragged through the streets as a spectacle in every town and hollow between the Midlands and the mines. 

“What do you mean you could look at my soul?” Freydis asked, intrigued and frightened of the idea all at once. “How? What would you see?”

Fable and Ruin is a low fantasy historical site set on the continent of Ideca. Within our realm is the Queendom of Desemene and surrounding the Queendom are three tribes: The Ruadh, the Aonach, and the Gleann. Our site focuses on the lives of those in Desemene and in the Tribes, how they interact politically, romantically, their friendships, and with their enemies.

My character Hadu is a behemoth of a man with a bas past that is now a soldier for the Jarldom of Silkegard and close to the Jarl. This is a woman in (likely) her mid twenties, who is a soldier in the Silkebard army. Much to her (civilian) parents’ dismay, she did not just simply marry a more or less prestigious farmer or tradesman, but went to seek her destiny with a bow in her hand. She is opinionated, confident and does not take shit from anyone. Perhaps, there is a slight and occasional issue with authority, which makes her career choice rather odd. In any case, she’s a badass and perhaps, soon to be HBIC. This is thought to be a romantic want ad for my dude, Hadu. Hadu is a Silkebard soldier as well, perhaps perhaps perhaps soon-to-be-commander, and not the easiest person to crack. Very likely, this is not about love at first sight, but a slow burn. Also very likely, a shift in rosters may put the closer together professionally, though it is unlikely that they have never met. It’d be nice if she could be his opposite in a few things, especially as far as being talkative (or not, like Hadu) goes, but of course, underneath all that spunk there has to be something…softer maybe. Perhaps there are past issues they could bond over, I’m happy to explore this and if it doesn’t work out romantically, that’s fine as well. I do see bickering, though. Face suggestion: Anya Chalotra

Did You Know: Falkreath was dominated by an Orcish Chiefdom led by Yashnag for thirty years? Falkreath's fate looked grim until the jarldom passed to Hakkvild after Yashnag killed his father. Hakkvild learned of an Orcish ritual trial by combat that he used to compel Yashnag to fight him in a duel, during which Hakkvild prevailed. Hakkvild Yashnag-Slayer then challenged all of Yashnag's champions in the same manner, with the young jarl once again succeeding from each battle. This deprived Yashnag of a clear successor and morally devastated his chiefdom, causing its collapse.
