Andlámund
The Andlámund, named after the Andlámund poison of the same name, is an elite order of guards and assassins under the command of the King/Queen of the Kingdom of New Fenris.
Origins
The Andlámund was created by King Felgí Vélǫkk I, son of the first King of the Fenris Læging and second King, as a way to protect the King/Queen of the Fenris, as well as silently carry out assassinations of malicious groups or individuals. He was mainly motivated by the fear that his father could have easily been assassinated during his final years. In the early years of the order, they were kept a secret by the Fenris Royal Family. But, when an assassination attempt was made upon King Haestig II, the possibility of a secret order under the King's command became more plausible.Arsenal
Members of the Andlámund are given unique armor, high quality weapons, and unique tools. The Frekkihrammi is a weapon used in swift attacks while unarmed. They consist of a bar with row of hooks protruding from them that sit in the palm of the hand. A pair of them are usually incorporated into the gauntlets of Andlámund armor, and with a simple rotating rod, they can be retracted. Hyggya-Frekkihrammi is the martial art with this weapon that involves raking motions around the joints and across the throat and face to immobilize and kill targets.Structure
The members are categorized into the bodyguards, called the Konunskjǫldr, and the elite warriors/assassins, called the Konunskálm. Recruits are selected and trained by their leaders, the Meskjǫldr and Meskálm respectively, and once they finish their training, they begin their work under the King/Queen.
Meskjǫldr
The Meskjǫldr is appointed by the King/Queen, and the two are never far from each other, with the former constantly protecting the latter. The head of the Konunskjǫldr's duties include testing the King's food and drink for poison, coordinating the schedule and patrols of the guards throughout Castle Fenrir, and keeping track of individuals in the King/Queen's inner court.Meskálm
Unlike the Meskjǫldr, the Meskálm is voted upon by the Fenris Knights, usually being a greatly respected and experienced knight. After their inauguration, the Meskálm no longer holds the responsibilities and powers that they had as a Knight. The Meskálm is tasked with tracking wanted individuals and groups, planning infiltrations, interrogations, and , and working with the Konundómr to arrest and convict very dangerous criminals.Public Agenda
The Andlámund's mission is to protect the monarch and Kingdom from domestic threats, such as assassins, rebel organizations, violent cults, and terrorist groups.
