Harbringers of Liberation
"Given the means and desire, freedom is ultimately a decision by the individual. I am in the business of providing that means and desire."
Astrid Raultsen
The Harbingers have grown out of frustration with the leadership in Gnarhelm, Norland, and Norheim. Heralds and bards have spread the word of their movement throughout the archipelago, and it has taken root. Their message resonates so much that Harbinger companies have spawned on every island, most of whom their only encounter with the faction is the tales of liberation they have heard.
The group was born from Astrid Raultsen, granddaughter of Jarl Rault the Wise. With her father and brother both dead from the wrath of the Storm Maiden, and her grandfather advancing in age, she tried to take up the call. Despite her charismatic talents, she was rejected by the Norls based on her gender. Not to be denied, she set out on her own, determined to take her destiny. She was accepted by the rebellious Norl reavers who were starving for a leader that would oppose the High King. Astrid legitimized the raiders as a force with a noble cause and turned their focus from pillaging to conquests of liberation. She has aided settlements against the oppressions of corrupt nobles and trade organizations, as well as slavers such as trolls, orcs, and giants. Her message has spread like alchemist’s fire.

Philosophy
The underlying message is that individuals, regardless of condition, should be free to go out and get what they want from life. While their methods are often boisterous and occasionally brutal, they are not evil. They tend towards the good and noble aspiration of freedom which often flies in the face of a monarchy. If an injustice is being done, however, they have no problem attacking the situation with swift calculated strikes by small brigades.Goals
• Independence and freedom - No more kings! • Promote a society in which individuals can make their own way • Encourage self-reliance by teaching the skills and provide the tools needed. Better yet, show others how to make their own tools. how do i fit in? Harbingers, even when acting independently, are attached to a local group to aid them when needed and to get direction from that group’s leader. When an act has been done to further the cause of the Harbingers, it is expected to leave notice to others in the form of the group’s insignia.inside the HARBINGERS
Astrid is the symbolic leader of the Harbingers, but the organization has now grown beyond the northern isles and has taken on a momentum of its own. The faction exists as a collection of silo groups that have formed organically on all of the islands save Gwynneth. Each group typically has a local folk hero leading the cause. Though they are prevalent in the north, the message has attracted all types. There are, however, decidedly few arcane casters in their ranks. Astrid is aware of the momentum the Harbingers have amassed and has begun traveling south to organize groups attracted to her message.Politics
Harbingers work towards independent islands. They support the local lords if those lords are fair. However, if a lord is merely a shill for the High King, they seek to motivate the locals in rebelling against that leadership. They usually stop short of direct conflict with the forces of the High King, instead choosing to empower the people effected to stand up for themselves. The Harbinger’s tactics occasionally conflict with other groups, primarily the Kendrick Loyalists and the Moonshaes Trade League, who claim they disrupt commerce. However, in these times of greater enemies, faction leaders dictate that their members unite and work together against the threat of shadow.Resources
The primary resource of the Harbingers, at least the northern groups, is their ships. They are expert ship builders, typically large longboats. This, combined with their small dispersed groups, allows them to deploy and respond to threats quicker than other groups.Если вы хотите что то добавить или присоединится к команде редакторов - пишите комментарии
