What is Folkvangr?

We are Folkvangr a Thanedom with a Norse Culture, located in the vast kingdom of Vornair. focused on the idea that hard work breeds prosperity and self worth, Folkvangr aims to bring experiences, ranging from life in the long hall to community, ceremonial events, and Adapting true norse ideals in the tapestry that is Chronicles of Elyria.

But why Norse?

It’s in good tradition of the norse to take what works and make it better, using the Hurstwic social structure, a pre-feudal era system. And combining it with another I was able to create a effort based class system that promotes the strong, rewards the willing, and hinders the un-industrious. Many key factors come into play when a person applies for a title. his/her wealth, social status, Trade/Profession be it military or economic, this is a duo level tree allowing a rather high growth inside the city, this gives every man/woman a chance to become an influential member of the city. :Do note that this is far from a complete list.

Our goal as a Thanedom..

Our goal, economic prosperity, and military might, bring the name Folkvangr to the face of war, trade, and politics..

Honored Halls, Noble Families of Folkvangr

First you have the Honored Families. They are members of political houses that run the Thanedom..every member of a honored hall is expected to act in accordance to local laws and political professionalism.

Second you have the Hall Family. They are members of non political houses.. They operate in the city as you would expect a normal guild would.. Some are military based.. Other general labor and crafting.. They make up a build of the family houses in folkvangr.

When a hall forms they are able to “add more” families to their hall. Creating shield siblings.. Shield siblings are members of the same hall.. Imagine it like adopting another family in to the greater hall. Honored Halls are also allowed to vessel Halls, creating a tighter working relationship with smaller halls

Arms halls

The military is based on a one or many “Honored Halls” and several smaller “Halls” forming constructive unit.. The honored hall(s) take control of the unit of warrior from the allied halls.. Though each hall will maintain its own force and ranking. If a hall of mercs pledges a vassal to a honored hall they are bound in oath, and then conscripted into the military. Independent halls “ mercs “ are classed as private contracted soldiers.. And will be able to take contracts.. With lesser success then a “hall” that vessaled to a honored hall.. Making it very appealing to join a larger hall to gain better spoils

Laborers & Labor Halls,

Laborers are subcontractors, Laborers are for the most part a low tier citizen working to buy his first social title, living of the goodwill of other Citizens, and completing contracted work for the City

A Labor hall, is a good example of a civil service, this location provides food board and other basic needs to the citizens contracted to the hall, this is where as a new citizen or a laborer you are able to gain work contracts for construction, farming, apprentices and other requested areas, consider this folkvangrs form of a job board

Merchant Hall

Its best to consider a privately controlled company, consisting of a service, such as an auction house, bank, blacksmith, ect.
