Thiudan of Eisarnknoth
In the year of our Ruler, ALDER HIMMERSCHWERT, 1532, the Hauskarls have been formed within the glorious Kingdom of Eisarnknoth. The Hauskarls are the Thiudanโs private retinue, composed of the finest soldiers found throughout Eisarnknoth. Their presence is unmatched in the North, as they are usually raised from birth to follow behind the Thiudan and serve as their guard. Their prowess in combat stands unparalleled and their bravery has proven to be limitless. They do not fear death, caring only for the Thiudanโs safety and the integrity of the nation they serve. The Hauskarls live a martial life, maintaining their strength and training their bodies almost constantly. For them, combat is akin to breathing and the life of their leader is paramount to their survival.

THE OATH - ๐ฐ๐น๐ธ๐
Each hauskarl must take an oath when they join, stating:
I swear to be true to the Thiudan, and her realm, and not to maintain silence about any evil that I may know or have heard or may hear which is being contemplated against the Thiudan or her realms. I also swear not to eat or drink with anyone against the state, and not to have anything in common with them. On this I kiss the star.
Once the hauskarl in question has said this oath, they are ufaiรพeis, or bound by an oath. If they so dare break it, they will pay with their life.
FROM ORDER, COMES FREEDOM
