(Place names and such are rough ideas. Open to changing them) Actually, whole thing is a bit rough right now. Let me know if you want changes or have ideas! [Hider=The Broken Hammer Clan] [b]Clan Name:[/b] Broken Hammer [b]Jarl/Chief/King Name & Description:[/b] Jarl Geirlaug Åsmundottir [b]Alias:[/b] Klyppr - 'Cutter' [b]Government Type:[/b] Jarldom [b]Non Human Species Descriptions:[/b] The Broken Hammer are allied with the Bloodaxe Giant Clan who reside in the mountains to the North of the Deep Wood. The Bloodaxe are not found in great numbers but they're brutally strong and hunt in the Deep Wood, where they clashed for generations with the Broken Hammer until, roughly a hundred years ago, peace was made in the interest of preserving lives on both sides. The Bloodaxe Capital is series of large stone structures carved from spires and ridges of red rock in a remote valley. They have no other settlements and rarely number more than several hundred in total. They take great pride in their ability to wield two handed maces or axes, and engage in great feats of strength that involve the throwing of large boulders and trees. The mountains they inhabit are home to dozens of savage creatures, giant mammoths, fast and stealthy tigers, and numerous troll tribes that are forever engaged in battle with the Bloodaxe and Broken Hammer. [b]Location:[/b] The Broken Hammer inhabit the Northlands, in a region that borders on the frozen tundra, in the aptly named White Wood that stretches from the jagged Ocean of Tears to the savage Dawnstar Mountains. [b]Religion:[/b] WIP - Need players! [b]Clan Description:[/b] The Broken Hammer are a powerful Clan located in the North of the Broken Lands along the Ocean of Tears. This harsh and cliff strewn region has seen it's fair share of warfare as the Clan wages a never ending war with Pale-Men and the fantastic beasts that live among them. Broken Hammer longships slide from small rocky harbours to wage a savage war of hit and run raids on virtually anyone they can reach. The Broken Hammer itself gets it's name from the Ancient Ones ship that lies in their principal harbour. The massive hulk, battered by never ceasing seas, bears a great hammer on the prow, a hammer that has long since lost its upper half and now lies embedded in the sand on the beach. The Jarls Hall is built into the old ones ship, a great hall of huge timber beams and fine stone work has been added to expand the hull. The Broken Hammer are noticeably larger than their Southern neighbours, probably as a result of inbreeding with the Giants, Ogres, and even Trolls in the region. Some can reach twice the size of an ordinary human though they are certainly much smaller than the Bloodaxe Giant Tribe. They wage war with brutal ferocity like all those in the Broken Lands, the strongest among them wielding vicious jagged headed hammers. [b]Clan History:[/b] WIP - Need players! [b]Regional Geography/Resources/Economy Details:[/b] The Broken Hammer live in a region known as the White Wood, so called for the dense forest that extends from the tundra to the rain soaked south coast. Bordered to the north by jagged mountains and broken tundra, and the South and West by rocky cliffs with small natural openings that lead to excellent harbours. To their West is the great Bay of Storms, an almost perfectly round Bay with a volcano at its core infamous for the storms that spring up without warning. The region is rich in food, furs, iron, and excellent ship-building trees. Luxury items and slaves are rare however, leading to the Broken Hammer's many raids southward. [b]Important Characters:[/b] Jarl Geirlaug Åsmundottir is the Jarl of the Broken Hammer Clan. She has earned the title through combat and cunning, as one must to be Jarl of the Broken Hammer. Tall, blonde, with a single sharp green eye, she is beautiful by any standards. Her otherwise stunning visage is somewhat marred by left eye being gone, pulped by an enemies sword pommel during a raid by Pale-Men. [b]Important Holdings/Territory/Possessions:[/b] The Broken Hammer have two principal settlements, their Capital of Askasmiðr, built around the Ancient Ones ship, and the Bjarneyja, a fortified city of stone and wood located at the heart of the White Wood. The two are connected by the Rauða River. There are numerous smaller settlements located throughout the region, none coming close in size to either of the cities.
