Purpose

 

The Sons of the North are band of veteran fighters that have left their pasts behind to form a free democratic society free from loyalty to any but themselves. They are skilled mercenary group residing in their castle of Drakenburgh. They serve any man, nation or group that requires their services for the right price.

 

History

 

The Polar Guard fled after the battle of Angren in which the Carrion forces attempted to attack the Storm King. The kingdom of Norlund under the rule of King Thoromir Armack aided the Carrion forces with their cavalry. The allied forces were defeated and routed by the opposing forces. Shortly after signs of a counter attack were visible. Thoromir  then lead the exodus of Polaris (the Norlund capital) and fled north with his loyal men and brother Ingvar Armack. With the kingdom of Norlund now lost a new page was created in the history of the Armack family. Thoromir Armack lost faith in the lines of nobility in Athera and decided to create an independant band of his most veteraned and loyal fighters. Instead of being under a single man’s rule Thoromir proposed a democratic state of mind in which all men part of the brotherhood had equal say in its decisions in order to maximize the benefit to the society. With the small yet experienced force of men The Sons were able to reclaim the ruins of the Bastion renaming it Castle Drakenburgh. With a  safe haven the group was able to begin expanding strictly as a mercenary group of fighters. Ingvar Armack proposed a sigil of unity, a white lion. It is said that in the northern mountains a powerful lion with a coat of gold sleeps alone in the wild north,serving only itself. It feeds off the weak in the mountain ranges and is said to be the king of its own domain. The men of the company approved of the sigil giving birth to the Sons of the North.

 

Organization

 

The Sons are band of mercenary fighters believing that all men of might and courage are equal in opinion and choice. Although a new member of the white lions may have as much say as a veteran fighter, the level of respect is much different. These are the following levels of the white lions. Much like a group of lions The Sons refer to their band as "the pride" consisting of various levels of respect within it.

Initiates- Initiates are members who have joined The Sons. With no authority in the group initiates must earn their place within the ranks of the lions. They are responsible for basic tasks of labour given by veteransInitiates bear the

tabard of the Lion

   

 

Brothers- Brothers members are trained fighters who have seen combat. They have proven their worth and mettle on the fields of battle They partake in labour for the group as do all members yet they are respected more than initiates. Brothers are allowed to partake in the votings of The Sons as they have earned the say through their time and service. They wear the lion tabard over or under their armour depending on their preference.

 

Veterans- Veterans are the longest serving of The Sons and are the most respected members. They are skilled fighters who have seen combat, some even served at the battle of Angren. Although they are seen as respected men of the pride they still contribute to The Sons through selected skills learned through their time in Drakenburgh. These can be blacksmithing,enchanting,cooking and masonry. They usually take the most vocal role in discussions as they debate courses of action and negotiate contracts. They bear more intricate armour complete with a resplendent red cape to identify their authority, experience and commanding presence on the battle field.

 

Philosophies

 

The Sons are not lead by a single individual but instead lead in their own utilitarian state. Each member of the group that is either a Brother or Veteran is allowed to cast a vote when a decision arises in the group. The Sons refer to the band as "the pride" symbolizing that of a group of lions.

 

Even if an individual has come from a peasant farm, they have the right to express their say as much as a man from noble blood.In order for a decision to go through the voting process it must be tabled by at least 1 veteran supporting it. Here the pride will meet in the mead hall of Drakenburgh and conduct what is known as "the roaring". Here in a formalized manner the men of the pride will discuss and debate the topic. After the points by the proposers and opposers are made,a vote is made by the group.

 

In terms of their mercenary policies The Sons do not sign treaty's that swear allegiance without an expiration date. In order for a contract to be signed by The Sons it must first pass a voting or "roaring". After this (if successful) a Veteran will be given the honour to sign the contract stamping it with the lions sigil. The criteria of a contract to the lions must have two things. An agreed upon reward and an expiration of service. Any contract that does not have both will not be passed by the pride.

 

Laws

 

The white lions have simple policies when it comes to regulating their ranks.
