The Wolverines(Recruiting!)

[TommyRedblue 23]

The Wolverines

The Wolverines are a group of men that fight for what they believe in. They were made to fight undead, but they have stuck together through thick and thin. Many would say these men are not a huge, organized military force. That's a good thing, because that isn't what the Wolverines strive for. They strive to support and protect each other as brothers. Of course, they have some more secret things they strive for, but overall, they see themselves as men that fight for the righteous thing.

LORE

Humble Beginnings

The Wolverines were created by a whitewash orc called Scyhell. He bought a small plot of land in outer Kal'Urguan for his newly formed guild. Shortly after its's creation, Joshua and Aryll Stonebeard, future commanders, were met by him on their first trip into the city. There were barely a handful of them when they were forced out of the city during one of the many reconstructions of Outer Kal'Urguan.

The Wolverines packed their things and set off to find a new land to set up their camp. They found a clearing just out of view of the Kal'Urgaun walls. They set up camp at what would soon be Torn Hope. After several days of debate, the Wolverines decided to stay and began construction. The Wolverines spent many years slowly growing in number in Torn Hope, often venturing out to aid in the fight against the Undead. It was during this time, Braxis Silverblade was recruited and was mentored under Stonebeard.

During a fateful battle, Scyhell fell in battle and leadership passed onto Joshua. The Wolverines began to decline, losing many members including Braxis. The Wolverines struggled to regain strength, creating alliances with guilds such as the White Ravens.

However it was no use. Torn Hope was attacked, and the graves were robbed by the undead. Joshua, distraught over the loss, ventured out. Stonebeard then took command of the Wolverines.

The Wolverines struggled to keep together for years, cycling through growth and decline. Eventually Stonebeard tired of this struggle, was contacted by the mayor of New Terriko. Stonebeard made the decision to uproot his men and relocate to this unknown town. Disagreement over this decision caused more men to leave. Only a handful of faithful soldiers made it, including Stonebeard, Psiop, and Groobs.

Temporary Home

The Wolverines built a new home in Terriko, however it was not peaceful. Orc attacks were not uncommon and the undead established a base close by. Yet the Wolverines endured. Galahar soon sprung up, right outside the front gate of the town, overshadowing New Terriko, and blocking the path to the King's Road. Despite the occasional dispute about Galahar's gates, the two coexisted peacefully. This was made even easier by the fact that Galahar was run by the head of the Silverblade house, Braxis Silverblade, the former Wolverine.

The Wolverines had yet to face another tragedy. After a disagreement over a duel between a Wolverine and a member of one of the prominent dwarven clans, New Terriko was attacked and occupied, and second in command, General Groobs, was beheaded by the invading force.

The Wolverines struggled for revenge, but with the chaos of the undead and the Oren civil war occuring on Terriko's doorstep, there was little they could do. New Terriko found itself sitting in between the two new human nations, both asking for New Terriko to enter their kingdom.

The Wolverines realized the city could not remain independent and had to choose a side. After considering a generous offer from the Hochmiester of Hanseti, Stonebeard and his new general, Psiop, agreed to fall in line with the Sariants.

Stonebeard, now Landmiester of New Terriko, managed to keep an uneasy peace between Galahar and his town, but the good relations of the Silverblades and Wolverines was gone. This would have lasting consequences for the Wolverines.

New lands

Stonebeard and his men followed their Hochmiester off the ship and were led to a cold harsh land. They immediately began to build a new city, knowing their enemy, Renatus, would be doing the same.

After the new capital was finished, attention quickly turned to protecting their realm from the nearby Renatus Kingdom. Their lands were perfect for protection, tall mountains surrounding their lands. The few valleys that led into the realm were blocked off, except one, the Maw.

The Wolverines were sent to protect this one entrance to the nation. For years they manned the gate of the Maw and spent their nights in the barracks on the mountain. During their stay here, the tensions between the kingdoms erupted. They repelled attacks at the Maw and soon after the Hochmiester and Sariants led the Wolverines on an attack into Renatus territory.

After several victories, peace was made and the Wolverines continued their duties at the Maw, but they grew tired and restless. Tired of being blamed for the problems of the passport system and the hordes of people being refused entry. Restless from being stuck in a cave or up on the snowy mountain. Tensions grew between the Sariants and Wolverines, leading to the Wolverines almost packing up and leaving the nation. As the men were packing their things, the latest Hochmiester granted them their own city to ensure their continued loyalty and help. The Wolverines moved into the ruins of Dovaskjor and quickly began work to make it their own. Dovaskjor was renamed to Argos.

Falling and Rising

The city soon began to look wonderful. This wonderful look did not last long. Tension rose between the Sariants and Wolverines, until the Wolverines offered full support for the upcoming war against Oren. What the Wolverines didn't know is that the Sariants had made an alliance with Oren. The city of Argos was destroyed and many Wolverines were killed as they fled to hiding spots. The Wolverines could not ever find a fair place to stay, so they went into hiding for a decade or two.

These men are now back and ready to rebuild themselves to what they use to be. Their entire lives has been a series of ups and downs and this time is no different. They have a strong, positive attitude and do not wish to back down to small blocks in their path.

Traditions/practices

Stonebeard's tomb

Ever since one of their most popular leaders, Stonebeard, died, the Wolverines have kept his coffin with them. It is very symbolic to a Wolverine and is kept guarded at most times of the day. Even when it is not guarded, the Wolverines like to keep it hidden. Every once in a while, a small, private ceremony will be held for their deceased leader.

Champion

This is a new tradition for the Wolverines. Each member that is Battlemaster/Toxophilite and below can fight to be named the champion of the Wolverines. It is more symbolic, but other members will usually look up to a good fighter. Every few elven weeks, the Warlord will allow members to compete for the title. Sometimes their is a prize, but other times the prize is just bragging rights.
