 Battle of the Vorstuga River
Teutonic State Part I
A few days travel east of Salem runs the Vorstuga River, which runs from the north to the south, and separates the western third of the Teutonic State from the other two-thirds. It is here the pagan Wickans gather their newly-founded allies. They would not dare cross the river, lest they try and attack Salem, where they will face the full force of the Brotherhood.
Hochmeister Konrad IV, however, will not sit idly by like his enemies. The bulk of the Brotherhood's forces are garrisoned within Salem. The first step to securing the Eastern March is by controlling the strategically important Vorstuga River. Unfortunately, the river has been occupied by the Wickans and their pagan allies, who have built fortifications along its banks and are heavily entrenched.
While mustering their strength in Salem, the Brotherhood calls upon mercenaries, allies, friends, and acquaintances, preparing to march eastward towards the Vorstuga River, where the first major battle of the Teutonic State will occur. But will you join the Brothers in their quest for control, or will you assist the Wickans in their desperate bid for freedom?
Post here if interested.

His hair is dirty blond and has recently grown nearly to his shoulders. A coarse scruff lines his strong chin telling of recent time spent traveling.

Silas had fallen into hard times...well he had fallen deeper into hard times. He had been wandering for years, then come across a large amount of money in Medan. With his newly acquired coin Silas had indulged far to much on far to many things. He now found himself penniless and directionless. His goal had once been to start a mercenary band, but that goal was now long forgotten.
Silas heard word of a war in the Teutonic State and made his way to Salem intent on signing on.

Kinzokan Krypt
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 129
Physical Description: Kinzokan Krypt is a seven foot tall beast of muscle, violent scars and a wild mane of dark hair. Almost legendary for his status as a veteran of many battlefields, Krypt is known for his exceptional skill and combat prowess and because of his dark, ashen-coloured skin he is referred to in mercenary circles as "Kinzokan the Black".
He originally hailed from a volcanic land devastated by fire, brimstone, magma and ash and as such, his people are known as the Ashkin. Due to spending their entire lives surrounded by scorching heat and with little water that isn't boiling or steamed, the Ashkin are nigh impervious to fire and its effects and their skin has thus thickened and hardened into an almost naturally armoured hide. Such is the toughness of an Ashkin that only the sharpest of weapons, or the strongest of their wielders, could cut deep and hard enough to draw blood or cause serious injury. Yet in the volcanic wastes, such a defense isn't only advantageous, but necessary - for each day would bring the Ashkin tribes into contact with the aggressive, giant, reptilian monsters who ruled the ashlands as ever-starving kings.

Ash-Kin Krypt of the Kinzokan clan would sign on as a mercenary for the battle. However, he cared less for gold than he did for the thrill of combat, and though only a lone man, his loyalties were anything but consistent.

I'm letting Silas into Salem. From there, he can go to the mustering field, which will be posted shortly after I reply in the border thread.
Kinzokan, you can go through the border thread, or jump straight to the mustering field.

Just an update.
I am waiting on Silas to post at the mustering field, where Kinzo is at. I shall reply to both of you when both of you have posted. If Silas hasn't posted by the end of today, then perhaps sometime tomorrow afternoon I will post in response to Kinzo.
Meanwhile, Giplor's fleet has move into the river, which offers a new interesting tactical advantage for us. I intend on letting that affect the battle. Kudos to you, Giplor.

Although Atlanticus isn't supplying foot soldiers, we have naval and siege weapons that will good at allowing the soldiers across while keeping the enemy at bay. Even if for some reason we can't hold the ground, they'll not cross the river.

Now, if only someone comfortable playing as the Wickans, or their allies.
Also, I am going to officially give you 1,000 NPC slots to use. I have changed the names of the Order's troop types, just check the Military Allocation post in our forum. Just go there and 'order' what you need.
If you need something not listed, just make it up.

Ralf Valgard, the White Wolf
Dedicated
Varan Adventurer
Roleplay posts: 299
Age: 25
Physical Description: An athletically-built man weighing 160 lbs and standing 6 feet high. He has fierce blue eyes set into a wolfish face. His dark brown hair is usually pulled back into a braid on the back of his head. Well-groomed facial hair, for which he is proud of, covers the bottom half of his face.
=====
Clothes and Equipment: Ralf's primary possessions include his Hirhanic Shield, Mariah's Dagger, his Ancestral Sword, and his Ki'Gar.
The Hirhanic Shield is able to absorb various forms of energy: physical, magical, or otherwise. He can release this energy in the form of shockwaves on command. This item was a gift from his friend Hirhan.
Mariah's Dagger was looted from Mariah's corpse in Aozora. The dagger is able to absorb magical energy from its victims.
Ralf's ancestral sword is of exquisite make; it is an ancient weapon forged in a forgotten age using a rare material. It has the potential to channel 'the Power of the Old Gods', but Ralf is oblivious to this and the weapon is never used.
Ralf's ki'gar, or 'kin garb', is blue with white borders. A white wolf's head is emblazoned in the center, with the family name "VALGARD" written across the bottom. He usually wears the garment as a scarf or cowl.
Currently Ralf carries a a two-handed battle-axe.
=====
Allegiances: His Family, Himself, His People - in that order

[Phoenix] Zaltos Kiraxo
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 221
Physical Description: Zaltos stands roughly 6'2" and weighs around 220 pounds. He is currently using a young male for his vessel that is around 17-20 in age. Since this side of his Red Phoenix has never been present long, it is as juvenile as the new Zaltos, allowing him to be open to learning new magic besides his fire. His build is that of a well trained martial artists and his skin in a moderate tan color. His eyes flash an icy blue and his hair is silver and shoulder length.
Clothes and Equipment: His garb changes, as does his armor. He no longer uses the Phoenix Blade in a broadsword form. This sword is a dual blade sword that is highly magic. These blades are covered in a magical sheath that turns to fire when Zaltos takes hold of it. This sword is rumored to posses the first Phoenix ever. He currently has no shield but his fire. He does carry small items that can be used in combat, but these items vary from time to time and will never be the same at any point.

Not sure if you are following what I am writing in the chat so I will post here too. I thought that the ships were sailing down the river to join in the battle at the swamp. In my most recent post I am assuming that the scouts reported the ships sailing down the river, but not soon enough to intercept them. The archers sent in retaliation are attacking the ships at the swamp where the wickans have hidden fortifications.

I was in the line of thinking that Konrad and Adrian would make it to the ships before sailing to the battlefield.
