The Scyldings
In-game Banner:
Renowned in the tale of Beowulf as warriors who fought fearlessly in defence of the creature Grendel, and glorified by their victories in the sagas under the blessings of the nailed God and Odin we now stand ready to take the fight to any other clans that may dare to face our shield wall in combat.
As a group we aim for fun and as realistic as possible shield wall combat, but also it must be noted anyone interested in joining must be mature, the description is dramatic and we like to have fun while having an appreciation for history but we are not here to role play.
Anyone who is wanting to join will be evaluated on their maturity early on, but other than that we just want to have fun. We regard the utmost importance of membership as the ability to play and talk as a group, without any ridiculous dramatic grievances or 'competitive' atmosphere within the ranks.
It's also worth noting that a few members of the group are involved in re-enactment and have previous experience with many realism/LB clans, so if you have a real interest in Viking Age history or any history at all and want to join up, you'll be right at home here. That being said the group is welcoming to all so if you're just someone who enjoys this game with the spare time, as long as you're somewhat strange you'll fit in well. If you're interested but unsure we have nothing against people who want to just come along and see what we're like for themselves.
Rank System at the moment:
Bondsman - A peasant who has sworn service to the Huscarls of the Clan. This is a temporary position to ensure that all members are mature enough to be adopted into the ranks. In essence this should be considered the "Recruit" rank.
Huscarl - A noble farmer and warrior who serves the clan. This is the standard rank for any good warrior who wishes to be and remain part of the Scyldings.
Captain - Leaders of tvvhe King of the land, but cooperate as all part of the clan.
Worth noting that we intend to work with a role system more than a rank system, while we will have some simple divisions in decision making and command (as shown above) we intend to give individuals within the group positions to take in combat (e.g. spearman, swordsman, archer, bard, etc.)
The clan has only just been formed, and it is likely we will for a while be making adjustments to our system, if you want the opportunity to begin as part of something new and great, sign up to go a Viking!
