Greetings Mercenaries,
In this blog we dive into a brand new faction, the fearsome Skelmars, a warrior society whose unrelenting invasion has turned the once-defended lands of Ormance into a battlefield. From their roots in the harsh Marches of the World to their brutal and methodical warfare, the Skelmar have reshaped the region’s landscape and rewritten the rules of survival in Edoran.
In this blog we dive into a brand new faction, the fearsome Skelmars, a warrior society whose unrelenting invasion has turned the once-defended lands of Ormance into a battlefield. From their roots in the harsh Marches of the World to their brutal and methodical warfare, the Skelmar have reshaped the region’s landscape and rewritten the rules of survival in Edoran.
The Skelmar’s invasion of Edoran is driven by ambition and pragmatism. For years, Ormance withstood scattered raids from isolated Skelmar tribes, its fortifications standing as a testament to the resilience of its people. But the arrival of High Jarl Sven changed everything. Uniting the Skelmars under a single banner, Sven declared his people chosen by the gods to claim wealth and fertile lands. Leading his warriors to the shores of Edoran, he turned their fragmented raids into a relentless campaign, and is unlikely to settle for just Ormance.

This warrior society hails from the Marches of the World, a harsh and desolate far to the West. Known for their brutality and unrelenting ferocity, they have terrorized Edoran with countless raids over the years. Their homeland is a barren tundra, fostering a culture where strength, survival, and combat are revered. Rival tribes frequently vie for power, yet they have united under the command of High Jarl Sven to wage an unprecedented invasion against Edoran. The Skelmars despise weakness, making them a formidable and relentless foe.

The viking-like horde brings a diverse array of units to the battlefield, each designed to exert control and inflict devastation. Agile patrols scout occupied territories, maintaining their grip on the land, while heavily guarded convoys transport captives and spoils of war. Specialized units such as berserkers lead ferocious charges covered by crossbowmen who provide lethal support from afar. Their forces are as versatile as they are deadly thus ensuring their dominance in any encounter.

The Skelmar’s weaponry and armor are built for practicality and efficiency. Axes, spears, and crossbows are staples of their arsenal, forged with exceptional craftsmanship. Their armor, often composed of hardened leather and iron, balances protection with mobility, prioritizing function over decoration. This utilitarian approach reflects their culture, where survival and combat readiness take precedence over aesthetics, making their warriors as resilient as they are intimidating.
