The Steelsong Order: Hunting Guild

[Wumpatron]

Spoiler: Atmospheric Music

​

They say that in the North of Drixagh there are two kinds of men; Those who hunt, and those who are hunted. The wilds breed the strongest, those who will lead their kinsmen on the battlefield. One of the oldest of traditions to breed such men is the hunt. While other peoples have their own ideas of what a hunt is, the men of the North take it to another level. At times it is indistinguishable if a group of men are going to war or to hunt. The House Norrvakt has honored this tradition for generations. Enter the Steelsong Order. A hunting guild established on the principals that only the strongest may lead. Now the Order has landed upon the shores of the capital to take the common man and breed them into the strongest of hunters.


Objective

The objective of the Steelsong Order is to create an opportunity for all citizens, both common man and noble alike to partake in various hunts across the Regalian Archipelago, with a high focus on hunting in the Northern regions and the wilderness in the commonwealth. Hunts will be had with many a feast to follow. It is not for the faint of heart nor any who are accustomed to the pamperings of aristocratic life.

​

Hierarchy

Grand Warden- The leader of the Steelsong Order. A career hunter having spent a majority of his adult life with the Order. Typically held by a Norrvakt bannerman, he is highly influential amongst his peers. A capable fighter and strictly of Northerne descent, he is a formidable fighter to more than just the animals. Currently held by Ingvarr Norrvakt. @Wumpatron


Game Warden- The leader of a hunt within the Steelsong Order. This position is the only one which constantly changes with no true leader. The Game Warden is one who shows prowess in the hunt, whether that be a skilled tracker or a trap master, the position of Game Warden only goes to the competent. The role of the Game Warden is to control all aspects of a hunt with oversight by the Grand Warden to ensure that all adheres to the principles of the Steelsong Order. The Grand Warden assigns who the Game Warden will be prior to each hunt.

Available Game Wardens:
-Baldur Fenross @Wumpatron
-Valbrand Haagenvig @Jouster

Jeger- (Nor) Hunter. Common members of the Steelsong Order.

Current Jeger:
-Baldur Fenross @Wumpatron
-Markus Haagenvig @Cain_et_Abel
-Valbrand Haagenvig @Jouster
-Klaus Ravenstad @Vivamente
-Heikki Freeborne @Arrogantus
-Ulrik @Dragonking14
-Alvaro de Santigo @Belgrade

-Birgit Norrvakt @WaterDruppel
-Morrigan Allaway @celticwitch
-Cerridynn Valdemar @celticwitch
-Hjalmar Haaganvig @Swashbuckling

The Steelsong Order reserves the right to remove any person for any reason. It will be viewed as an act of betrayal against the Order with seldom an opportunity for redemption.

Valbrand Haagenvig has been allowed the opportunity to prove himself in the roll of Game Warden. @Jouster

 

[Wumpatron]

First Hunt is in planning phase, a fox hunt in the Regalian wilderness. We will be using a random encounter and roll based system to make the experience interesting. If you were considering joining the Order, now is an excellent time.

 

[Wumpatron]

NPC's made for a Blacksmith, Tanner, and a Butcher for IG use. They may be used by those outside of the Order. Just message me when I'm online and I can hop on as one of them. This is best used if you want character progression where you need tools repaired or leather for new boots or even a butcher for meat for an event. Merely a service for more immersion should you desire it.

Guten Tag, Herr Fenross, Grand Warden of the Steelsong Order,

I was talking with some fellow friends and they told me that you are hosting a sort of Hunting Guild. I would very much would like to join up seeing it is a good way to take some time from the polluted Crown City. I always did love the fresh air. I am a good cook and rather below average hunter, which I would like to improve. Well, I just aimed to keep this letter brief, thank you for reading it over.

Much thanks,
Sir Wolfgang Drache of Buechner.

Character Skills: Cooking (besides combat)
