here we have the champion of the group, Erwin alterburk and his companion drummer Karl lowenhof
Erwin was a young lad when he made his way to the great swords, his village had been raided by dark elves and he alone, with his friend Karl would fight off the attackers trying to make their way to sack a near by manor, he and Karl held the position against waves of enemies as the scattered remains of the village made their way to assist in the fight, by the end of the combat the manor was standing as it was before, overlooking a burned ruin of a formerly proud fishing town, after a short time a small nordland patrol showed up to check on the town, where they were quite surprised to arrive at a destroyed village and yet be greeted with open arms by a large group of survivors.
Alterburk and Lowenhof would continue on in the great swords for quite some time fighting alongside their commander and often questing around the empire when the got the chance.
another shot of the standard
and the swords men
the swords of hargendorf would be the stalwart defenders of the town in the conflict, holding off wave after wave as they fought on often moving towards the beach to try and push their opponents out, their equipment was stained with blood and dirt after the conflict forever marking the swordsmen of hargendorf down as the red swords of the north
