Narthok 9213 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The Merry Red Brothers of Nordengrad Introduction THE Merry Red Brothers of Nordengrad are a levy force raised from the serfs, freemen and clanfolk of the Nordengradic reach. A primitive force compared to the more uniform, organized and equipped legions and regiments of the Heartland, the Merry Brothers make do with what is at hand. Thus they typically wield an array of crude spears and lumber axes, with the occasional wealthy member bearing an elder blade from the days of the King. To accompany their selection of primitive arms, the Merry Brothers armour themselves in whatever they can make use of. Generally they are equipped in a variety of patchwork leathers and decrepit chainmail vestments, wearing the odd leather cap or basic helm to battle. After the sacking of Ruriksgrad and the fall of the Fourth Red Kingdom the remaining Norlanders impoverished, fleeing the burning husk of their homeland with little more than the threads upon their back. As a result the once vaunted reputation of Norlandic equipment quality has been lost as the survivors, settlers and refugees struggle to hobble together any objects of genuine martial value. Despite the relatively destitute status of the Merry Brothers their demeanor is the antithesis to that of their equipment. Gone are the days past where Norlandic men marched with steely demeanor in strict formation. Clad in plate, painted red and black moving about in their stony militant legions. Having moved away from the constant militarization of their past the Nordengradic men of the Brotherhood are significantly more jovial. Generally arriving to drill hung over after a long night at the local tavern. Drills and training are little more than an excuse for the men to wrestle in the mud before heading off to the tavern once more for a rousing bout of drinking and dining upon the fine home cooked meals therein. That being said, they have lost none of the grit of their ancestors, still harbouring the fire of their fallen kin in the heat of battle. Organization The Brothers of Nordengrad are loosely organized, with very few members involved with the organization as a career. Due to the demands of a rustic farming hamlet most of those within the rank and file spend the majority of their time tending to the woods, the herds of the fields. Ensuring that the village has adequate stocks of food to endure plundering raids and harsh winters. Thus the majority of the Brothers are exactly that, brothers of the Merry Band. However the Brotherhood is led by the Captain, generally an individual appointed by the Earl of Nordengrad to lead his levy. This captain is assisted by two Sergeants, each chosen by the Captain. One sergeant bears the standard of Nordengrad into battle while the other is responsible for managing the drunken tavern brawls masquerading as drills. Uniforms The Red Brothers of Nordengrad are far too impoverished to provide advanced armour and the Earl does not have coin to spare on unnecessary dyed cloth for uniforms. As such the Brothers generally wear whatever equipment they can cobble together occasionally wrapping bits of red and black cloth about their leaders and mail when they have an opportunity (( 'uniform' skins can be found at the following link https://imgur.com/a/6PlALiw with accessories for said uniform variants being found at this link https://imgur.com/a/qa8CYF9 Applying To Apply to join the Brotherhood, send a bird with the following information to the Nordengradic Eryie Name: Clan: Experience: Equipment ((provide a detailed account of your char's slapped together equipment)): Are ye 'o faith?: 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
