Having taken the knee to King Phyllain, I am seeking both bannermen and craftsmen who crave adventure to aid me in the construction of Fort Helvegen.
(All information is subject to change depending on the needs of the Kingdom and game development)
My hope is to provide a staging ground for players to establish skills that will lead them into direct service to the King in the Royal Army or provide a strong backbone of militia support.
While our economic focus will be lumber production and its usage in implements of war I hope to attract various craftsmen including joiners, blacksmith, bowyers, fletchers, farriers, a tavern keeper, farmers or anyone seeking economical and commercial opportunities depending on the area granted and the resources available.
If you want a home for you and your family then all we ask is that you help protect it. This service can be rendered in a number of ways and includes both PVP and PVE opportunities.
Military Focus
Duties and Responsibilities
Huscarls:
The professional military of the Fort will serve as the backbone of our forces. If chosen as a huscarl you will be expected to show determination in your training and be prepared to march to war or defend your homeland as the needs demand and as such will be rewarded for your service pursuant to in-game capabilities. Those that show particular may be promoted to the position of hirdmenn with increasing responsibilities and rewards.
Fyrd:
Those that do not want to take up active military service may choose to join the Fyrd. The Fyrd will include but is not limited to merchants, craftsmen, and farmers that want a little adventure now and then. This will also be a home for the man or woman that wishes to explore and to adventure out exterminating any non-humanoid threats in the area but wants a solid base of operation in Fort Helvegen.
Militia:
All residents of Fort Helvegen not choosing service in the Fyrd or Huscarls will be required to train in some form of ranged combat and will be asked to help man the walls. These individuals will only be called upon in times that the Fort itself is under direct threat and will form its citizen militia.
If this interest you and you wish to know more please feel free to join our discord Royal Duchy of Xeilias and speak with Kalain or contact me via PM here.

Explorers - Are you not one to be held in one place and the open road calls to you? Perfect. Everyone needs a place to recoup, rearm, and sell those hard-won spoils. Helvegen can be that place for you. We want explorers operating out of Helvegen and will be paying for information of the lands we inhabit.
