War of thirteen : Ulric's Paw

(1/7) > >>

Pentagathus:
Death has come to the empire. In the form of war, in the form of famine, in the form of plauge, it matters not, for death allways means one thing. Opportunity.
Never has the opportinity been greater, the emperor is dead and who is there to claim the throne?
The Paw of Ulric of course.
They are a cult shrouded in mystery and rumour, viewed as outcasts by some, kings and great lords by others. Are they noble priests or abominations? The only thing the rumours agree on is that they are dedicated to Ulric, the wolf of winter.
Hector Khanvall imperial tactician is one of the few who know the truths behind the rumours, a man of the north who has fuaght with and beside these Norscan's and gained their trust.
The Paw view Hector as the perfect reflection of their god, he is strong fast and savage in combat but is most dangerous when at the head of a pack, cunning, devious, ruthless and best of all, he allways wins.
He shall make the perfect Emperor, he shall be the one to bring Ulric to the head of the Pantheon, he shall make the Norse remember their old gods and Chaos shall quake before the wolf's howl.

Claimant:
Hector Khanvall, Kislevite and master strategist.

First Sword (Jarl)
Sigefrid Heavy Armed, inspiring leader and mighty warrior. Sigefrid has known many fears but never ran, he is strong of voice and stature, tough but lacking some of the finnese of other fighters.

High priest (Ulfwerenar)
Witnere the wolfman. Witnere means nightmare in the Norscan tounge and this is one wolfman who lives up to his name. Cursed for rejecting the gods of chaos he is strong, fast and vicious. He is the figurehead of the Paw but shall never lead due to his instable mind and blood lust.

Accolyte (Bondsman)
Guthrum the wolfbrother. Brother to Witnere and only surviving kin this brave young man looked after his brother in his madness, taking many wounds on the road to his sibling's recoring sanity. Somehow he met with the youngest son of a norse Jarl, Sigefrid the follower of Ulric. Sigefrid saw Witnere as the child of Ulric and took to two brother's in as part of his retinue.

Accolyte (Bondsman)
Sihtric the hammer. Sihtric was born and raised a Norscan, untill his father turned to chaos and became a repulsive mutant. The gods of Chaos destroyed the rest of Sihtric's family untill he was all that was left of his long line. He sailed south as a vikingr and faught agaisnt many enemies, eventualy being defeated and captured by knights of Ulric. He gained the knights' trust once they heard his tale and he became a squire to one proud but impoverished knight, Wolfsturm.  On travels with Wolfsturm the young knight drank himself to stupidity and announced his squire's lineage to an innfull of Norscan hating peasants. A fight insued which ended with Wolfsturm and many of the peasants dead. The peasants were to afraid to continue fighting Sihtric but blamed him for the murder of Wolfsturm. Sihtric was an outcast once more and he travelled north, harried all the way to the keep of Sigefrid. Sigefrid took this young follower of Ulric into his ever growing band.

Temple Guards (Maruaders)
Berfwulf and Aelthrun are two former Hurscarls of Sigefrid's household. Now they serve the charismatic Sigefrid and by turn Hector Khanvall.

Temple Guards (Huntsmen)
The Stenach twins were found poaching on the lands of Sigefrid's fahter who wanted them slain. Instead Sigefrid convinced his father to let the two hungry men fight for him, bows were needed in a strong warband and a strong warband is needed to make a youngest son a mighty lord.

The Pack (Wolves)
These two mangy beasts were drawn to Sigefrid's odd band by Witnere who leads them as any alpha wolf.

Let the hunt begin!

Jubal:
Kickass. I'll be interested to see how this goes. I was pretty pleased when you got hector, the northernish fluff fits well.

Pentagathus:
Since I can't seem to edit that post:
Let the hunt begin!
(Replacing Woof Woof preferably)

I was pretty pleased as well Jubal. His special rules should be a nice boon to my force. Annoyingly he is the only warrior with higher than ws4 in my band.

Pentagathus:
I have downgraded the equipment of my warband so that I can field another mighty warrior. This ones a hero so thats one more exploration dice. Cookie for whoever guesses where I got his name from (propbably Jubal but mbye someone else as it's pretty damn obvious.)

Guard's Reeve (Berseker)
Dark Douglass, a man of low birth (the bastard of a priest) this fearsome warrior has battled his way into his weapons and status. He was levied from his lords (his fathers) lands at the tender age of twelve. He was much younger than the normal age that a boy must serve as a levy but he was big for his age and his father wanted to be rid of taint to his name. However the lad seemed to have a nack for fighting and was looked out for and tuaght by a grizzled veteran. Once his father's campaign was fuaght Douglass still lived and went on to become a sell-sword with that veteran of his. Eventualy after battling with the knights of Ulric he was converted to that god and suaght to join their order. The knights had luaghed at him, although he was skilled and fearsome he was still a bastard who could not afford armour. In a rage Douglass fuaght with one of the knights, smashing him with his fist and slamming him on the floor. The other knights restrained him, lashed him and released his services as a mercenary.
When his father learned of this he sent hired killers to dispose of his troubling bastard before he could shame his father anymore. The veteran that befriended Douglass was killed by the assasins buy Douglass survived and after killing and mutilating the assasins he went to take revenge on his father.
He managed to sneak into his fathers bedchambers, killing his guard. He crossed his axe with his fathers falchion and once his father was dead he took that falchion as his birthright. However he swore that he would never wear armour as a knight, he was lowborn and he would remind them of it everytime he fuaght.
He left berift, untill he encountered the Paw and swore fealty to the worthy Sigefrid.

Damn that one was long.
