BY ORDER OF THE GRAND MARSHAL 

 

In recognition of his guidance and unrelenting support, Oyvind Frostbeard is posthumously reaffirmed an official induction into the Legion Hall of Fame. His Marshalship during the reign of Bastion Ireheart 

led to the resurgence and stabilization of the Legion prior to the Slaughter of the Senate. 

 

OFFICIAL HALL OF FAME CITATION: 

 

Oyvind Frostbeard was promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal after serving dutifully as a Commander in the Coalition Wars under Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe & Gror Ireheart. In the ensuing restructuring of the Legion, many Legionnaires were mustered out with the expiration of their enlistment. Thus, left only with a skeletal force of veterans and regulars to sustain the massive swathes of lands conquered by the Grand Kingdom, he took to instituting major reforms within the Legion. Immediately he instated massive recruitment schemes centered around increased pay and steady work, followed by the shift of Legionnaires being separated into Divisions to a consolidated soldiery of clan militias with Commanders having equal jurisdiction over them all. His programs proved auspicious, keeping the Legion on steady footing by the end of his tenure. Unfortunately, his final goal to keep the Legion apolitical failed spectacularly with soldiers fighting while on duty over clan issues. Marshal Frostbeard himself was caught in this wave playing a massive role in support of the Frostbeards during the infamous event known as the Slaughter of the Senate. 

 

NOTES OF THE GRAND MARSHAL:

 

“When recollecting about the epoch that was the tenure of Oyvind Frostbeard, it can be realized that Oyvind could only forestall the precipice known as the Slaughter of the Senate. He attempted during the meeting to reason and stalk a middle ground but when it became clear the fight was inevitable, he had no choice but to choose aside.  Nonetheless, his accomplishments must be commended, for if one only writes about bad and not the good, they are no better than the revanchists that seek to interpret history as if it was a speech and use it as justification to stir unrest. At the end of the day this commendation is not to the traitor but to the dwarf who resurrected the Legion”
