* Paragraph below is currently being updated*
Wolffberg clan is a Viking clan that uses its military prowess to overcome challenges. They thrive on adversity and will seek it out for the glory of a great tale to tell the tribe. This mindset leads to the construction of Grimsgil, which was established in the 700th year of the 4th age. The Wolffberg clan’s primary goal with this stronghold was to create a bulwark, durable like a Hrothi fortress, yet with the technological advancements of the Neran. The Wolfberg clan’s calvary is fearsome due to their excellent horsemanship gained from fleeing the chaos of the free kingdom.
Note: Many things will be updated when DJ has been release
The Armed Forces are the bulwark to the Stronghold. They will be trained to be adaptive to the current situation and to never run from a fight unless an advantage can be seen in such an action.
Intelligence Branch is be made up of explorers, scouts, and researchers. This will be the only branch that will have a mixture of civilians and military personnel. They will be in charge of communication between all branches and record keeping as well.
Logistic Branch will be made up of trader and merchants. This branch will be task with delivering high demand goods to maintain or advance our military capability.
Civilians will not be required to know combat but will have access or exposure to it if they are interested in learning to defend themselves from the dangers of Elyria.
The military academy will focus on various combat styles for any combat situation to make our soldiers diverse and agile, but will mainly be training soldiers to hone and improve their cloak and dagger techniques. The military academy will also require all soldiers to take advanced warfare classes to learn and deploy various strategic and tactical maneuvers needed in PvP. Academy is also open to Civilians as well.
This trial is to allow soldiers with skill and dedication to progress higher in the military branch. There are three branches a soldier/civilian can attempt to go down: Armed Forces, Intelligence, Logistic. The Trial will take place in a location chosen by the Baron.

I am Ulf Wolffberg, the current Baron of Grimsgil. I am 24 in real life and been playing MMOs since 2003. I spend most of my time doing PvP (Player vs. Player) as I found that the most entertaining on a personal opinion. I have lead several raiding groups in varies games. Archeage and Guild Wars 2 the most current ones. I also play simulation, strategy, and Survival games when not the mood to play MMOs. A couple of games I played would be Evony, 7DTD, Civ 5, and a little bit of EvE online (trust me, this game requires strategy).
You will have the right to choose your religion in my stronghold as I feel this is something that shouldn't be forced upon people but allows them to express who they want to be in Coe. Which also meshes very well with my belief in diversity in my stronghold, which I will be upholding in Grimsgil.
Master Craftsmen will be given Contract/s to do Government work such as Creating Siege of war(Defense or Offense), Architectural engineering of a building, Trade and Revenue, Fashion(Costumes) or advanced armor, Etc. Craftsmen below Master craftsmen will be given an opportunity to either work at an R&D facility innovating new technology or perfecting techniques already known. They will also be given a chance to teach at schools with the curriculum learned at the R&D facility keeping modern apprentice craftsman up-to-date with current technology and techniques.
This looks great! Really interested in joining up and helping with exploration as well as taking combat training.
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life.
Excellent! I look forward to working with you. Particularly like the idea of the R&D/ Schooling Program.
