Jomsvikingr af Hardhaven
...with the fury of Hyrrhorn, cleaving tendril after bloody tendril from the wicked beast towering above him. I cowered on the ground as hot ichor showered down around me. Some of his blood fell, too - flying white hot from his stony flesh and hardening to black globs as it hit the cold ground. With one final cleave, he rent a tear through the hearts of the foul hydra. My savior turned to me, concern marring his caprine features even as his vital essence spilled from dozens of wounds. "Are you alright?" He never told me his name, even as he helped me up and laden me with as much traveling food as I could carry. But the broach on his cloak burned into my mind - despite the unpolished metal, it caught the sunlight and with it my eye. A simple thing of dull silver-grey metal, fashioned in the shape of a tree pierced by a sword that made up the pin itself. When he sent me on my way trunkward - to Hardhaven - I couldn't help but ask his name again. There was only one thing he would say. "Tell them a jomsvikingr sent you." ~ excerpt from report given by newtling arriving in Hardhaven shortly after winter set in.The sole protectors of Hardhaven, the jomsvikingr are a skilled fighting force specialized in navigating and surviving the Stórrwoad and surrounding furrows. Established as a joint project over fifty years ago between Aster and Guðr, the jomsvikingr act as both a guard and expeditionary force for Hardhaven, though the scope of their responsibilities has vastly increased since the Champions ousted Guðr and began making changes.
