 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.

-Vikings that have flaming hammers. Nuff' said. (i.e. description coming soon)
+Magic is a very touch subject among the Væringjar, and none tolerate magi (or even magae). 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.

-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.

-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.

+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.
