Nords: Steel Chosen

Release date: Friday, December 27, 2024

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.

HOW THEY PLAY: Selected among the best of their leader's personal guard, the Steel Chosen are a versatile tool doubling down on their leader's preferred way of approaching combat. Apart from their exceptional martial prowess and ability to dismantle the toughest defensive formations, the Steel Chosen share the aspect of their leader acting as an extension of the character's combat abilities.
