Conquest: Nords Steel Chosen
Every Jarl and Konungyr worth the spit to mention them has a small, handpicked group of Chosen men who serve as his bodyguards and enforcers throughout his rule. Invariably the strongest, meanest and toughest men around, these Chosen are amply rewarded by their lord in both peacetime and after battle. Their weapons are the finest steel that can be found, some even of legendary dwerg make, while their arms are festooned with silver and gold torcs, each a small measure of wealth and esteem heaped on them for their prowess on the battlefield. In battle they are invariably where the battle is thickest, proving their mettle to their lord and earning themselves their formidable reputation, one bloody victory at a time.
