[quote=@Leidenschaft] I've kind of planned that House av Snaggasson has two warchiefs under their command with men that serve as the Duke's personal retinue. Tormund av Snaggasson, the last Duke's brother also maintains a host of warriors called the Hundred Names, who are people that House av Snaggasson sends to Vyntarland and brings back when they're seasoned and have "earned their names" so to speak, or earned their titles in combat. Their house is also known for a type of troop called the Blackthegn, which are basically Viking Navy Seals. They coat themselves and their weapons in black or dark brown paint, row down a river or creep through the forest to sneak into camps and wreak havoc. If that's the case, House av Snaggasson could have sworn their allegiance to Skavia and quickly become the military house loyal to the King of Skavia himself and not beholden to a backwater collection of outposts manned by the King of Perhyr's cousin but instead within his own borders. Perhaps during the raiding season where House av Snaggasson sends the untested warriors to Vyntarland, before they come back, they let Vororborg ask any of them if they want to stay and swear themselves to the Keepers. That way, the keepers have a sort of tax of men that keeps the keepers stocked with hearty warriors, but also lets House av Snaggasson still be supplied with rough men at the Duke and the King's beck and call for those times when the Vyntics raid along their coasts.
