WIP still, I claim the north western part of the western kingdoms.
Name: Gyrid Thometilldottir
Physical: Gyrid stands at a height of 1.81 meters tall. She has long, well-kept brown hair that she keeps in a ponytail behind. Her face is covered in various different scars, very symmetrical in nature. A large X crosses over the bridge of her nose, with two more that follow in a parallel fashion above them that rest just underneath her eyes. Two more parallel scars follow in the middle of her forehead, following the interior lines of the large scar resting just above the intersection point of the larger scar. Finally, she has one final scar that cuts deep into her chin.
She has eyes that radiate like the most intense sapphire crystals. Her body is kept hidden by her armor, but one can make out a faint but full female form.

The Followers of Roffella
The Followers of Roffella is a blanket term used by the barbarians in the north to describe a very specific, and very strict, religious sect that occupies the territories northwest of the Maw itself in the Klamshire mountain ranges that borders the Frozen Seas. The Followers occupy a castle high in the mountains which serves as the primary temple devoted to their goddess as well as the cities of Darium, Thrassbruud, and Deyong. Various other temples have sprouted up around these cities, and the temples serve as a place of worship and training. The land is perpetually cold, with near constant snowfall and temperatures that would make even the hardiest southern break. These harsh conditions have bred a tough and hardy people that have learned to survive in this tundra. Hunting the limited game found in the area is only the first way these people have come to survive; they are hardy fishermen who have specialized vessels used to dance through the ice clogged waters which are capable of bringing home large nets full of various seafood.
The legends go that the Followers of Roffella were originally a peaceful, trading city located at the intersection of four major roads in the lush plains found in the middle of the western areas, content to farm and tend to the various travellers that happened to find their way through their city. Luck was not on their side, however, as barbarians from the northern mountain ranges, on their usual raids, decended upon the city with a ferocity matched by none. The city burned.
As the refuges from the onslaught sought solitude in neighboring cities, a sense of dread began to set in. With each city visited, they soon learned that their neighbors had grown envious of the wealth they had attained in the past. Turned away at every turn, the people of that forgotten city began to lose hope. Out of this darkness a figure emerged, a woman mercanary by the name of Roffella Hrossbjorn. She had happened on the poor, desperate group of refugees with her small company of soldiers named the Roffella's Guard after their leader. She herself was a barbarian, alike those found both in the northern ranges and in the raiding parties that currently were pillaging the area. She had an unorthodox option for these simple traders. Learn to fight with her and her soldiers, and assault the fortress that the barbarians based themselves out of.
She spoke with a grace that most had felt impossible for a savage, she moved the people with her words about how the fortress was left defended by old men and young boys, as all the fit and able soldiers were out assaulting the area. If they charged straight up the mountain, assaulted the fortress, and took it from the Barbarian king himself, that they would be once again safe and in a position of power.
Command: List the units you intend to bring to the Maw. I need to know their weaponry, armor, function, skills, abilities, etc.
150- Guards of Roffella
Medium armored shock infantry – The Guards of Roffella are group of highly trained and very dangerous shock infantry, capable of breaking even the most seasoned of lines with their strong wings of their two handed axes, relentless drive for pleasing their Goddess, and their relentless training since birth. They are religious devout, and will always be awake at the crack of dawn to offer their prayers and praise to their warrior goddess.
Through tributes, local blacksmith work, and various other factors the Guards of Roffella are often equipped with plate mail chest and leg work with a tabard with a white base with a red X through the middle. This stands in stark contrast to the rest of the barbarian north who still prefer leather armor overtop chainmail. They are often equipped with heavy two handed axes, bastard swords and various other heavy handed weapons. While the heavy armor slows them down compared to the standard barbarian, the ferocity of their attacks and the pin point precision in which they deliver them, more than make up for the weight of the armor.
250 – Devotes of Roffella
The title of Devotes of Roffella is a new title given to the religious fanatics that have taken up arms under the Priestess of Roffella Gyrid.
