Maidens of Freyden, are a group of 60 women fighters in Nareo. They consider themselves as equals, therefore they do not have a leader like most cults, clans or tribes in Nareo. They are rather protective of one another; but there had been times before the Present days, that one or two of the Maidens betrayed the others. They ended up being banished out of the Clan, and punished severely. Since those tyrant days, they have been going strong and their numbers grew over the last few years since the incidents.
The Maidens of Freyden, live in the village of Mallowmerrow. The Village it-self is small and secluded from most of civilizations. They prefer the peace and quiet, away from the bustle of the city and too many people in one place. They do not have many acquaintances and allies due to separation, and luck of trust from outsiders. Some of the Maidens make their living through making their own arts and crafts and selling it, at the weekly market. Whilst some run a farm; making them all very self sufficient. Men are forbidden to enter their village, without their consent. The Maidens are used to being, away from the other Genders as they have grown up like that. As far as they can remember, they never mixed with others too much.
They were Armour, to protect themselves in a fight. Some of them also have a shield to accompany the Armour. They mostly use Batons, knives, Swords (from curved to short), Axes, even hammers when they are engaging in a fight and hand to hand combat.
The Maidens of Freyden are each of a Cleric Class. They believe they have been granted special powers by the Gods. They possess the abilities to heal their wounds, protect their allies and can resurrect the dead, and manipulate in all sorts of ways, banish the un-dead as well.
The Maidens of Freyden first formed about 500 years ago; The first and Original Maidens were not as loyal to one another. They were constantly at war with one another, killing each other off which caused the group to almost seize out of existence over the centuries. However it’s been a curse, that has always been passed down onto future generations. Now slowly in the present dying out.
However the challenges of trying to remain loyal to each other is a hard one for each and every member involved. (The Curse still exists). Some of them have been said, to being haunted by the Ghosts of their ancestors, the killings...the fear and the betrayal slowly turning them insane. The fear they might end up like them, is rooted within their clan, their destiny and past. There is no escaping that. Lately the curse, has another affect on the Maidens of Freyden. Any time they see a handsome male walk past, or try to enter their village They fall in love with them at first sight. At times, it happens that maybe two or three happen to see the same man at the same time; which causes bloody feuds and fights among them.
The Maidens of Freyden are each tough, and skilled warriors. They are not afraid to be different...fight like men. Some people of Naroe look down upon them for being too man-ish. But the women themselves are proud to live like Pagans and Vikings in this time. They show no mercy, they show no fear when it comes to being in battles and killing their enemies.
