Huscarls are the bodyguards of nobles and other such notable figures, and make up the core of the professional army of the Væringjar. They are famed for their use of all weapons, but especially the Skeggox.

	One aspect of their training is to become equally good with both hands, a skill they make full use of in battle. Most weapon strike are made for right handed warriors, a left-handed warrior might be able to take some advantage of this, but the Huscarls, with their full knowledge of right handed fighting can really use this as a great advantage. This ploy can only be used when a ~~Huscalr~~ has the initiative, and is easily disrupted by their foe shifting into an aggressive stance.

			Where there are villages to be pillaged, Plyndrer's are the first men in. Looting all there is to be found in the town before razing it to the ground. Many a blaze has been caused by these men, but not all against the enemy. A keg of mead and a flaming torch is not the best mix in Væringjar hands.

			When there is real fighting to be had, Plyndrer's get stuck in with a laughable weapon - a spiked ball on the end of a chain. However few people laugh for long, as they are surprisingly skilled with this makeshift weapon. And with the element of surprise (for no one really knows where that spiked ball will strike next) it makes for a formidable weapon, if a little unreliable.

To use magic is to bring death upon oneself, unless one is of the Æsir. The use of magical weapons is a greyer area. The Ildhammare are few to brave using such weapons, hammers made from a magic-imbued metal so volatile, it takes a single spark to ignite. The metal burns for only a short time, enough for a single blow, but can still be used normally when not ignited.

The Fyrd is a peasant militia, raised in times of dire need. Though poorly equipped and fighting only in thin furs they serve their purpose well, whatever it may be.

			Most men carry a Seax for both utility and fighting purposes, and so poorly equipped are the Fyrd that this is their only weapon. Many an arrogant warrior has underestimated a Fyrd's ferocity, many also learn of this too late.

	Bóndi are the ~~core~~ of the ~~true army~~. ~~Fighting with spears~~ to ~~save on~~ metal, a ~~rare sight in the icy wasteland~~. ~~Their furs~~ are little ~~thicker~~ than a ~~member of~~ the ~~Fyrd but they are equipped~~ with ~~a small shield~~, ~~providing defence against~~ the ~~wild winds if nothing~~ else.		The Bóndi are the base of the Væringjar ranks, making up a large part of any battle. All Væringjar are required to own weapons, and as such the lower ranks, like the Bóndi, are poorly equipped. The spear is by far the cheapest weapon to make, using very little metal, a scarce resource on The Sheets.

			Shields are another common weapon, having to be little more than a wooden circle with a metal boss to protect the wielder's hand. Some decorate their shields with bones of their slain, or spikes of metal. Finally the trusted Seax is always to hand should all else fail.

	~~Jarls are nobles, though~~ in the Væringjar society ~~this is merely a title appointed to those who~~ can ~~afford~~ the ~~steel~~ for a sword. ~~Used to fighting against the spears of the Bóndi~~, they have ~~developed a~~ fighting style ~~which involves as much~~ piercing ~~as it does~~ slashing~~, a deadly combination against calvary~~.		Those higher up in the Væringjar society can be easily identified by the weapons they carry. Jarls have enough wealth for a sword to be forged for them, or inherit their father's sword. In either circumstance a sword is much more than a simple weapon, and are typically given names.

			Just because Jarls are wealthier than their fellows does not make them any less fierce-some in battle. Most Jarls have fought in lower ranks before they have the funds, or inherit, their sword, and the fighting style is similar, most Jarls will favour piercing thrusts over slashing cuts.

Hertugs are the among the wealthiest men in Væringjar society, they own the best their wealth can buy. Typically this is an ornate sword and shield, a helmet and a chainmail shirt. The only men who outrank Hertugs are those who own horses.

			Years of fighting with the sword makes them seasoned warriors, able to adapt their style to suit their opponent's weakness, both with cut and thrusts.

			Their sole weakness is their honour, as they will not fight with ranged weapons, and even some of the greatest have been known to fall to a single archer, though the chainmail they wear does help to combat this issue, but can never truly erase it.

Huscarls are the bodyguards of nobles and other such notable figures, and make up the core of the professional army of the Væringjar. They are famed for their use of all weapons, especially the Skeggox.

			They are trained to be ambidexterous, and usually weild their bearded axe left-handed. Most warriors, being used to fighting right handed, have to shift thier entier bodies to defend against this ploy, to avoid striking their own shields, reducing the range at which they can attack at, while a Huscal has no such drawback, and can even keep striking from outside of their enemies range, though, shieldless to pull the ploy off, they have to keep attacking lest their opponent move into an agressive stance.
