Eorund1, Hersir from Odolfrlundr2
Now a discussion of the warband I created for my Age of Blood Campaign.
Hersir: Eorund (Sword, Axe, Shield, Chain Hauberk, Helm) Cost: 79 Upkeep: 8
Champion: Gautar (Axe, Spear, Shield, Chain Hauberk, Helm) Cost: 150 Upkeep: 6
Champion: Canute (Broad Axe, Bow, Chain Hauberk, Helm) Cost: 154 Upkeep: 6
Berserk: Ottar (Broad Axe, Axe, Sax) Cost: 69 Upkeep: 8
Berserk: Haddings (Sword, Axe, Shield) Cost:74 Upkeep: 8
5 Huscarls: Jorund Hothbrodsson3, Kyi, Stakard Haraldson, Randver Sigarson, Haakon
(Axe, Bow, L. Jerkin, Shield) Cost: 190 Upkeep: 10
5 Huscarls: Jorund Hognason, Hysing, Haki, Rorek, Khoriv
(Axe, Spear, L. Jerkin, Shield) Cost: 175 Upkeep: 10
5 Carls: Hogni, Stakard Svendson, Askold, Edda, Thrand
(Axe, Shield) Cost: 20 Upkeep: 0
5 Carls: Olof, Kjotve, Magnus, Gautrek, Randver Hvitserkson
(Axe, Shield) Cost: 20 Upkeep: 0
Totals: Men 25 Cost 931 Upkeep 56
Remaining Funds: 69
Vessel: Lt Drakkar.
Since the group is from Norway they have Sailing as their special trait, and Carls cost 20 instead of 25. For Eorund himself I rolled a 5-Renowned, so he started with a Renown of 11 instead of 10.
Notes:
- Although I did not like the name Eorund, it is apparently a variant of Jorund. I found a link here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&u=http://web.comhem.se/jh_genealogy/p7d24147b.html&ei=e-wJTtK2E6mp0AHf9vFq&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CEUQ7gEwCA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DEorund%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26channel%3Dnp%26nfpr%3D1%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D933%26prmd%3Divnsb)
- I felt like the characters needed to be from somewhere, besides just Norway, so I generated 10 names of Norse towns on (http://donjon.bin.sh/name/#norse_town) and then rolled a die to select. (1) Beinilundr, (2) Kinnbholm, (3) Olfrvik, (4) Odolfrlundr, (5) Arunlundr, (6) Arnlavklif, (7) Tirrbekkr, (8) Horgudrsetr, (9) Frostitoft, (10) Molfnbyr.
- Because I was ending up with several repeats I decided to add some Patronymic surnames. For help with form I used (http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONNames.shtml) as a guide.
Dont forget that your Hersir and Champions are level 1 characters and therefore start with 1 random trait each.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, I missed the reference to rolling for it on pages 35 and 36 respectively. I only recalled seeing the rule on page 50 where it says the characters can only have 4 traits, one each at levels 2 - 5. Seems contradictory.
