Kriggsherre

Although founded as a kingdom by the descendents of Haval the Great, Norgaard had been ruled for the last 300 years by the Krigsherre, or military leader assigned by the previous ruler. The Krigsherre has the powers of a king but the title is not hereditary and is instead bestowed upon the highest ranking member of the military council when the Krigsherre dies. The military council consists of the Krigsherre, the Grand Master of the Order of Heimdall, the head of the Skogsmen Rangers, the Marshall of the Army, the Archbishop of Thunderpriests, and the Captain of the Homeguard. The current Kriggsherre of Norgaard is Banlor the Shieldless, the former Marshall of the Army and veteran of many forays into the Wastes and campaigns against the orcs.
