The Free Men
History:
After Thane Ragnar Iceborn boldly rebelled against the tyrannical Nordic King, he and his remaining force have formed group of men that come from all walks of life. Peasants, Mercenaries, banished Nobles, all are welcome to come and fight for the Liberty and Prosperity of the realm. Under their watch no man shall be denied his rights or justice, not even from tyrannical Lords and Kings, if he has anything to say about it. All men are free and can do as they wish so long as they do not break the Free Men's code. Never violate the Life, Freedom or Property of another, unless they have done so to others in the realm. For now the Free Men have taken refuge in Brackaltwald Outpost and act as mercenaries and freedom fighters. Under their watch, the innocent will be protected, the oppressors quelled, and the slaves set free! If the Free Men are present noone will be subject to an unjust law, no matter what lord or King claims the authority to subject you to it. Ragnar has looked the last five years of his life for a fair, just and caring King who rules for the people, but has yet to find one. Ragnar and his band are searching for this King, and if they can't find him they may just have to take this burden on themselves. Will you fight for freedom?

Current Lore:
A New Lord: The Free Men have decided to back Julius Brackwalt as their Lord. They believe he will make their goal of bringing freedom to the realm a reality. However; The Freemen's support may be withdrawn at anytime if they believe Lord Brackwalt has let the power go to his head and begins to tyrannize the citizens of the valley. All of the Free Men are subject only to the Free Men's code no matter what laws their new Lord has put in place. Serving as his Master at Arms and Adviser, Ragnar hopes to help Lord Julius to make the realm better, freer and more prosperous.
Mourning a Fallen Leader: Disaster has struck the Free Men. Lord Julius was off visiting nearby lands with his captains, Gareth Rainair, and Maeng Brack. Sergeant Charles Sandor was on patrol with some of the Free Men. Darkness closed in over the lands, as the pale light of the moon filled the sky. Commander Ragnar patrolled around the walls of Castle Brackwalt that night, as he had done many nights before. Things had been calm recently, so the only Free Men combatant there besides Ragnar, was Sir Jonathan. But all was not as calm as it seemed. Under the cover of night, the Vikingr clan made it's move on Brackwalt. They rushed from the darkness like wolves and began to bash at Brackwalt's wooden gates. Ragnar ran for a crossbow as they chucked axes at him and Sir Jonathan. An axe hit Sir Jonathan square in the chest, knocking the wind out of him, and causing him to stumble inward off the wall, into a large pile of hay. Ragnar retrieved his crossbow and began to fire at the Vikingr clan, but it was too late, the Vikingr had broken down the gates before Ragnar could get off three bolts. They rushed through the gate, like water through rocks, and Ragnar ran into the courtyard to defend his castle. But alas, this is where the tale takes a bloody turn. Ragnar, the brave and noble leader of the Free Men was struck down, overtaken by their numbers. As Ragnar lye there, unconscious, the Vikingr removed his head and mounted it on a pike. How we know the details? Sir Jonathan may have taken a fall, but the axe did not penetrate his armor, and he was hidden from the Vikingr by the hay, able to see the bloody act unfold. Upon each members return home, they where given the news. Jonathan made a recovery, and we gave Ragnar a proper funeral. A large fire was built, and he was burned atop it. Ragnar had said his family probably disowned him, but Lord Julius felt it right to send them a letter of notice about their son anyways. Captain Gareth assumed Ragnar's command as the new Commander of the Free Men. Ragnar will never be forgotten, and this deed of the Vikingr, will never be forgave.
