Cool cool, just out of curiosity, what Duchy do you plan on taking. I want to get that Vassal information on my sheet finished up.

@Vandy

I'm taking the Duchy Hroddivik.

Not sure. That's up to @Gowi but I would be okay with it as long as you were trying to be THE military house of Skavia. Plus the Vynts raid us all the time so your troops could gain experience just from defending our shores. Not sure the average house would do that but the house that strives to be the big time soldier producer would make sense.

@Vandy

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.

The Northmen do have allies on the coast of Vyntarland:

<Snipped quote>

There are two or three strongholds in this territory called The Rift, and Skavia would probably be eager to send men to aid in the defense against their feral cousins. Pretty malleable. As for "recalling them" I'm sure that said Keepers of the Rift would be not thrilled about sending men home but The Rift is not The Wall, it is not a sentence for life if so willed.

Surprised that the Vyntic raiders actually went around the guards and keeprs of The Rift and invaded Skavia come to think about it.

@Gowi

<Snipped quote by Gowi>

Well, that's quite a lot of territory for two or three strongholds to cover and guard. Plus I'm certain King Crach wouldn't mind it if some Vyntic raiders sailed around Skavia and attacked Erayis or Stormtir. (Not saying they are anything like my wonderful king but...) Perhaps they were even involved in that war somehow.

@Vandy

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.

Fatal Souls

Would it be feasible for House av Snaggasson to keep their fighting men top-notch by sending them to Vyntarland to fight and raid before recalling them as fully-blooded warriors who've proved their worth?

Fatal Souls

I'm debating on whether or not to sign on as either Skavia or Pehyr. I like both, especially with the whole civil war thing going on, but I don't want to load up the vassals just on Skavia.

@ulsterwarrior

If I were you, I'd go somewhere else to balance out things so people have things to interact with.

Fatal Souls

Working on a sheet for House av Snaggasson, loyal to the Crown of Skavia.

Fatal Souls

Northman civil war? Well, this changes everything. Might play a minor house or a fifth son and his host trying to take over his family's House, otherwise, he'd have no hope of inheritance.

Yeah, the bloody goat-loving fool sniped it from under you. Apologies, I do quite want you on board though, as I remember you've been a semi-interested party since I rebooted it the first time. You were playing a slavic sailor-mercenary at the time, I remember.

@Gowi

*shakes fist* Why I oughta! Anyways, I'll get to work on...something...once I figure out what I want to do. I kind of want to be a minor house, but I also kind of want to be a mercenary captain. What to do?

Fatal Souls

So, what's the deal with Erayis, now? I saw DeadBeatWalking had a place as the ruling House of Erayis, is that still the case? I'm alright if it is, might drum up a mercenary company or a minor house, maybe, I dunno.

disregard i am dum

Vassal or mercenary company for me then, I don't know, whatever.

Fatal Souls II | Game of Thrones-inspired RP

I'd be interested in putting in an application for Erayis!

Sail The River, In Step With Death

I'm going to be making my character soon. Trying to decide on what I want. So far, I have a Frumentarii/Teleucian King's Eye(royal inspector/inquisitor) or something else... I don't know.
