Ranks:
Träl (Thrall) said:
You are the worst that the world has ever seen. You are a slave sold in the market. The villagers spit on you and kicks you in the crotch when you lie down.
And quite rightly too. No one wants to know from you.
Idiot!
For the next rank you need:
A bloody miracle!
Dräng (Farmhand) said:
You are insubordinate, useless, and generally stupid. You are a servant to a farmer.
For the next rank you need:
3 new awards.
Bonde (Farmer) said:
You have a pitchfork and tunic. You dream big, but do not perform as much as you would like. What do you know, really, about war?
Maybe one day, will you be famous ... Maybe?
For the next rank you need:
1 new award.
Jägare (Hunter) said:The farming life is something you have put behind you. You are more interested in the arts of war, and have gone on a quest to seek fame and fortune.
The shield is very heavy sometimes, and it happens that you ignore or forget to use it.
For the next rank you need:
2 new awards.
Vakt (Guard) said:
The uniform is now a fact. You are a soldier.
You are very alert and spirited with the weapon, perhaps a bit too keen with the weapon. But you learn as you go.
For the next rank you need:
3 new awards.
Krigare (Warrior) said:
A man who shows that he wants to get somewhere. Often one of the better warriors we have.
You are more than just a Guard. You start to learn the arts of war.

4 new awards.
Huskarl (Huscarl) said:
You show strong potential, a possible Berserker.
When you swing your sword, most people fall. There is not much that stops you.

KrigarFylking (Berserker) said:
You are here. A warrior without equal.
You have proven that you can protect your comrades, follow orders and kill, in combat. You are one of the best.
For the next rank you need:
A nomination from the Great chief, a chief or Einherjar.
Märkesvakt (Banner Carriers Guard) said:
The Banner Carriers Guard is selected by the Banner Carrier, to become his right hand in battle.
This means that he will never leave his master's side in battle, unless otherwise specified by the master.
As a Banner Carriers Guard you may ask permission to be dismissed. That means that the Banner Carriers Guard DO NOT have to follow the Banner Carrier in battle.
The Banner Carrier are the only ones that can have a Banner Carrier Guard
A Banner Carrier may only have ONE Banner Carrier Guard each.
For the next rank you need:
A nomination from the Great chief, a Chief or Einherjar.
Märkesman (Banner Carrier) said:The Banner Carrier is selected by either the Grand chief or chief, to become his right hand in battle. A bodyguard if you will.
This means that he will never leave his master's side in battle, unless otherwise specified by the master.
As a Banner Carrier you may ask to be dismissed. That means that the Banner Carrier DO NOT have to follow their master in battle.
Being Märkesman is a tough job and not for the weak. He must be able to follow orders to the letter.
Your master trust you with his life, so do not let him down.
Great chief or chiefs are the only ones that can have a Banner Carrier.
And they can only have one Banner Carrier each.
For the next rank you need:
A nomination from the Great chief, a chief or Einherjar.
Hövding (Cheiftan) said:
Reaching the rank Chieftain requires not only awards but also an inquiry by the great chief.
If you have become a Chieftain it is due to your shown responsibility and activity. A person who is not active in the clan will never get the chance to become a Chief.
A chief is almost like a great chief fixed with just a bit less rights.
Chieftain has the rights to:
Kick
Recruit
Order of battle
Share warnings - but not to the Grand Chief
Distribute Awards
For the next rank you need:
A nomination from the great chief, a chief or Einherjar.

This rank is reserved for NaglFaar who created the original clan, the Einhärjar Clan. No one can become great chief by climbing through the ranks.

Einhärjar said:
You are the best fighters in the clan has. Nobody can match your strength, skill, and finesse.
Through countless conflicts, you have repeatedly shown that no resistance is unbeatable.
Horses, archers and infantry seems that grass for a lie when you're on the battlefield.
An Einhärjar is voted on by the clan members, and the votes need to win with a 80% minimum of at least 30 votes.
From the rank of Berserker and up, you can be nominated by a great chief.
The Great chieftain of course, consult with them Einhärjar already existing, and determining whether the candidate is suitable.
Afterwards the candidate gets nominated and the voting begins. This means that the Einhärjar is elected by the clan and has certainly earned his place.

Kick
Recruit
Order of battle - an Einhärjars word is above all in battle, even the Grand Chiefs!
Share warnings - but not to the Grand Chief
