Fyrkat

The Fyrkat Army

Despite their differences and total defiance to stand united once again the clans all support more or less the stylised armies, each using the same weapons and armour as the other clans. It is one of the factors that has made the war continue on for so long.

Infantry

The main bulk of the army is made up of a kind of light infantry, the Fyrkat people preferring to sacrifice the main bulk of armour in favour of swifter movement and greater mobility. All Fyrkat soldiers carry three weapons when going into battle, a spear or halberd, an axe or mace and a sword all used in that order to devastate their enemies. Their other secondary weapon is the usage of the round shield carried by the infantry this strong wooden disc is reinforced with steel forged by the dwarves in the mountains, all capable of smashing open an enemy?s skull when swung forcefully as well as the added protection it provides.

Mainly clad in furs with light plates of Fyrkat steel worn in individual non-linking pieces are the main protection used in battle though it is not uncommon to see a chainmail shirt on some of the wealthier warriors. The Fyrkat helmet is also built with the same mentality as their armour, wearing helmets made from several pieces riveted together with nose and cheek guards to cover the face.

Archers

Wielding impressive 6?6? Fyrkat Longbows the Fyrkat are dangerously accurate with this impressive weapon capable of hurtling arrows over massive distances, a fully trained archer being able to fire a new arrow every five seconds. By law all Fyrkat children have to learn from the age of seven to use this masterful weapon in preparation for their first battle.
Each archer is not without protection of course, although not clad in the metal plate the Fyrkat archers still wear the warm and protective furs that are necessary for fighting in the northern lands, especially in the mountains. Each archer also carries an axe and sword of their own as a last line of protection.

Berserkers

Berserkers are the strongest men and women who thanks to blessings from the gods have been granted superhuman strength in battle, wearing little to no armour these gigantic killing machines are capable of taking on overwhelming odds without even batting an eyelid. They are also granted great pain relevant thanks to their divine blessing unable to feel even some of the most serious wounds until the battle is over and their rage is subsided.

These fearsome warriors are given equally fearsome weapons, taking massive great axes or great swords, weapons that are so incredibly dangerous in the Berserkers hands it is not uncommon for their enemies to be literally hacked in half by these warriors.

Huskarls

Huskarls are the elite soldiers on the battlefield, generally making up the body guard for the King, Chieftain or General they are the greatest warriors of the clans, handpicked by the commanding officer they will be serving from the entire army. To become a Huskarl is a great honour in the mountains granting someone great social standing which brings a much higher pay then the other men in the forces allowing for much stronger armour and weapons.

Although Huskarls still don?t wear full armoured suits their armour is now of the highest quality dwarven steel forged specifically in the mountains by the mine dwelling creatures. They tend to be as kitted out as the infantry carrying at least three weapons at all times as well as their own round shields.
