From Journey to Ragnarok (the Grey Wanderer) by the Mana Project
A member of the Danevirke Guards is a proud and fearless warrior that puts the protection of their people above any other consideration. Their tireless defense of the Danvirke awarded them so much glory that other vikingr often journey to the Gjallarhorn to swear themselves to the guard.
- Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Survival
- Equipment: A small carving knife, hook and line, a wooden necklace with a carved rune, common clothes, a pouch with 15gp.
The members of the Danevirke Elite Guard are very accommodating toward the other clans that, in return, respect them for their undying loyalty. As a defender of the Danevirke, you will always be welcome ampong the people of the North, a sign of their gratitude for your service in defending the Wall. Additionally, a Defender of Danevirke is always wary of what is going on around him, just a few years on the border have made him very attentive to both details and signs of danger.
Suggested Characteristics
