the Inventor Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Edzerd of the North, reporting for duty. With me I bring you my army: The foot soldiers. The light cavalry who rides with the speed of the wind, throughout Mitgardia. They know the land really well and if someone is in need of help, they will be send to the rescue. The scout who brings the news to the Capitol City of Valholl, and is part of the excellent scout network. And in the far north, the cities of the Dwarves in the Mountains, brings us some strong dwarven warriors. Who will join our ranks with the right amount of payment, also they will forge the weapons of Mitgardia, so we will have enough weapons to defend the land.

Sirens-of-Titan Posted November 12, 2011 Welcome new members! I look froward to seeing your pictures! @O-S-T, Viceroy: Very true, Skyrim is an excellent source of Mitgardia inspiration, take a look at the concept art and you'll see what I'm talking about! I would make it a Guild Activity to play it, but not all members have 100+ hours to sacrifice for open-world exploration of a snow-themed and elaborate fantasy world.... Be right back!

Tomcat RIO Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Long live Mitgardia! From the City of Hykerbia in the Eastern edge of Mitgardia, Baron Maude La Flaga and Baroness Kealind Windwatcher guards over the southeastern border passes of the Ragath mountains. The city is built by all races of the North, and together they swear allegiance to each other and aid in need. For snow, for timber and most of all for Jarl Nibelung! In the far North, where the mountains are high and air cold, the Great Eagles build their eyries far above mortal beings. It is only the beauty and lure of elf maiden singing that can charm these magnificent birds down to fight. They have a bitter feud with Northern drakes and Ice Dragons. Baroness Kealind's ride is the great eagle Alcasora.. We will soar high over the mountains and no walls can keep out our magic spells and sharp talons. Baron Maude is a nobleman from the West, who made the journey over Mitgardia, flying the flag of Jarl, colonizing the dangerous eastern sectors. He was given a set of feathers from the same flock of rare perger falcons for his helmet. When he rides atop the mighty steed Fenrid, all enemies fear his charging lance, even dragons. The house guard of La Flaga ride with their Baron to war all the time. Their yellow and green stand out in the white snows and are morale boost to any allies guildsmen fighting. the Baron and Baroness have a daughter, half-Elf and half-man, and very pretty. Princess Kailingar rides a polar bear chariot into battle Kailingar's brother, Leanderin, is Captain of the Elvish guard. Riding deer and great elks into war. The Elk Academy trains only female elfs. They have a strong bond with their Elks, and fight as 1 on the field. Elf archery skill while riding on elf back is most prized. The elves also have small regiments. Quell Droma the assassin elf. Namaste and Navaron, 2 brothers and best elf scouts in the northern tundra (if not in Mitgardia and all Historica), ride atop a Siberian and white tiger. They can travel faster than any land beast, crouch and ambush in leaves and snow. They have a pet falcon trained to be scout eyes from the sky as well. The Orcs from Hykerbia have arrived as well! They have tamed brutish tundra beasts and use them in battle to the awe of other guilds. Orc heavy calvary ride on woolly rhinos, when angry they charge the enemy like madness. Woolly mammoth with tower, archers can fire and hurl spears below. Rider is well protected with shields. This is the last sight for many a trampled reptrian and squashed desert warrior.. The few centaurs in the North, sage Flincus Tanhide, spends his time travelling the mountains, and raising his pet dragon, hopefully it will one day be a big green dragon to fight for Mitgardia's army. Wierd Elian, the wizard with the frog staff, travels between Mitgardian towns and villages, and the big cities, entertaining children, soldiers and nobles with his performances. Travelling with him is Slash the medieval guitarist and Utinni Hugebeard, the Dwarf who never shaved in his life. They bring cheer and laughter to the frozen North.

Tomcat RIO Posted November 12, 2011 The Dwarfs of Mitgardia have a long and proud generations of history, with huge mountain kingdoms. Hykerbia's cave networks were dug by them, and the deposits of mineral ore attracts them here. Yet, with trade and ore, looters and war come from jealous rival clans. Hykerbian Dwarfs rent from the orcs, tamed Musk Oxen to pull their catapult wagons. They can destroy the walls of other guild with ease, even in remote places. Another ingenious dwarf contraption is the 'jet fire' flame thrower. The Elves shared with them the secret of Dragon's breathing fire. The dwarfs put it to good use and it can melt huge caverns in thick ice mountains and glaciers with ease, making the job for the builders and architect dwarfs much easier. It is fed by liquid brimstone and pipe, to a pumping nozzle that can be aimed. The flame thrower, although good at melting ice caverns, is also excpetionally effective against minotaurs, reptrians, Avalonian calvary, paper wrapped mummies etc etc.. Another segment of Mitgardia's population, the Norsemen, some of them settled in Hykerbia as farmers, hunters and traders. A ballista cart pulled by a wingless drake - wings cut off so it cant fly anymore. Some Mitgardian clans strongly oppose this as they say ALL drakes should die anyway.. But Hykerbian Norse plan to use the drake well. The Sentries - Mitgardian professional soldiers sworn for life service, are sent to a chain of outposts atop the entire Southern Mitgard border. From high mountain range peaks, pine forests, tundra plateau, temperate farm land. The Sentries are always every watching for enemy movement. Alarms are raised by the change in fire and smoke signals, and the fire beacons relay the message across vast distances quickly, so the whole Mitgardia army in all the provinces can mobilise. 3 sentries per post, 1 sleep and rest, 2 watch. And lastly, I built this one for our guild, proudly to say we are the first guild with a Navy!! Hope you are happy Sirens-of-Titan!! Now Mitgardia truly rules by air, land and sea! The foundation of the Northen Guild has often lay on the water-borne sailing trade. Coastal settlements and river villages were the heart and beginning of our guild. The Norse were the best sailors around, being the most experienced before the colonists came. In peacetime, the Norse longboats sailed to the seas, fishing for shoals, seal fur. They also transported ore, gems, timber planks, granite rock between ports, which were then ox wagon to build Valholl, amongst other great northern cities. In war, the Guild financed the weaponised longboats and paid the sailors. A combined crew from all the Mitgardian population sails aboard. Using the sailing skill of the Norse, the bravery of the Barbarians, the weapons of the Colonists, the tracking and eyesight of the Elf, the translation of Orcs, and the beer making and drumstick cooking of the Dwarves.
