ABOUT Drunk's Calradia at War Roleplay

In the Year of Our Maker, 1258

Welcome!

Calradia is a continent poised to the north of the world, a land which contains both deserts and tundras, and is settled by dozens of peoples, and is split apart into a patchwork of realms. It is a land of contrasts, where chivalry and brutality exist alike, and where peasant and king strive the same.

Drunk's Calradia at War Roleplay is a roleplaying server, set in the late middle ages. All the information of the server is available in the discussions. The server is passworded to protect against trolls. One must not RDM after joining and should be willing to passively roleplay (We have battles but they are not constant and the norm).

RITTERBRUDER ORIGIN! - FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

10 August - Crash God | 0 Comments

The Ritterbruder (as it would come to be informally called) was founded in 1221 by Pravenite (and a few Dhirimite) knights who sought to defend Makerists and crusade against the remaining northern pagans.

A few years earlier the Tihrites attempted to reconquer Bjargmar under the command of Count Svend of Orevik, one of the members of Bjarke's regency council. However this ended in disaster with Svend being killed and Jarl Erik of Bjargmar proceeding to invade Orevik, conquering most of it and ravaging the remainder, taking many slaves in the process and destroying churches.

While traditionally part of the Kingdom of Tihr since its conception, Bjargmar frequently revolted when royal power was weak. Following Harvald's death and the kingdom passing to Bjarke, still several years old at the time, Bjargmar seceded from Tihr and became an independent jarldom. While generally nominally Makerist, they were regarded by outsiders as heathens and heretics nevertheless.

Shortly after reaching adulthood, Bjarke arranged an alliance with the Ritterbruder and launched a decisive joint counterattack against Erik. The Ritterbruder took Bjargmar for themselves, killing Erik and entrenching themselves in the region, while Bjarke liberated the lands in Orevik that had been lost. The Ritterbruder swore vassalage to Bjarke for Bjargmar and in this way the kingdom was, at least nominally, reunified. Bjargmar would afterwards see an influx of immigrants from Tihr and Praven with the locals being fully assimilated into Makersdom.

Norskeg Background

3 August - Crash God | 0 Comments

Historically the peninsula of Norskeg has been under the control of the jarls of Wercheg with very frequent infighting and division along territorial/familial lines. The last independent jarl was Asbjorn Eiriksson who was killed by the Sargothians and replaced by Svengal; however, the Sargothians and their vassals struggled to assert their control over the rest of Norskeg which fragmented into the three godord of Skali, Odoso, and Ruvar, ruled at the time by the godar Targeir, Gunnar, and Sverre respectively.

Targeir Bjornesson was the most powerful godi and a kinsman of Asbjorn, also belonging to the Jarnvidring clan. Despite not helping Asbjorn against the Sargothians, he named himself as his successor and made plans to retake Wercheg. Hostilities broke out between him and Gunnar, who belonged to the Ulfing clan, as he too claimed the jarldom for himself.

With the sanction of King Bjarke of Tihr, Edvard was authorized to lead an army of a thousand men to convert the locals and establish a beachhead in Norskeg. His success would vastly exceed Bjarke's expectations, as Edvard managed to capture Skali while outnumbered and form an alliance with Gunnar, who agreed to convert to Makersdom and swear fealty to Bjarke. Targeir was slain in battle and Tihrite rule was nominally established over half of Norskeg, overjoying Bjarke and enraging Tovar. Shortly after Bjarke joined Edvard and Gunnar with a larger army, promising to make Gunnar jarl instead of the still-pagan Svengal. Concurrently, the Sargothians and their Werchegian allies managed to defeat Sverre in battle, who afterwards swore fealty to Svengal and Tovar and was allowed to keep his position. All of Norskeg was split into two camps.

The Tihrites and Sargothians fought for several months over Norskeg until the fighting gradually petered out with both sides agreeing to the modern borders. The Sargothians made some very minor gains by taking the town of Agnarshall from Gunnar but overall failed in advancing their claim to the rest of Norskeg. In 1234 Bjarke would later seize Tunhoya Castle from the Sargothians in Norskeg, but was soon after obliged to return it. While generally more zealous than the Sargothians, the Tihrites sometimes supported pagans who opposed Svengal and did not pressure Gunnar tremendously to convert the rest of his people.

As of 1258 Norskeg is currently split into these following factions (all of whom swear their allegiance to either Tihr or Sargoth):

Hakon Svengalsson (Pro-Sargoth)
-Duke of Wercheg
-Member of the Sveinning clan
-Late 30s
-Gregarious, committed Makerist, hopeful about reuniting Norskeg and supports raiders/bandits against the Tihrites

Sverre Skulesson (Pro-Sargoth)
-Count of Ruvar
-Old in age
-Cynical in general, impious Makerist

Sigurd Gunnarsson (Pro-Tihr)
-Count of Odoso
-Member of the Ulfing clan
-Late 20s
-Hopes to be given Wercheg, somewhat insecure in his position compared to Edvard and Magnus, raised Makerist

Edvard (Pro-Tihr)
-Count of Skali
-Member of low/middle-tier Tihrite nobility
-Late 50s
-The effective leader over Tihrite Norskeg and former regent to the kingdom during Magnus' minority. He is a renowned and ruthless commander who is hated both domestically and beyond. He was a close friend of Bjarke and led the Tihrites in the Sixth Crusade, he also constructed many castles all over Norskeg (out of brick, stone, wood, etc).
