We need a kick-ass team of warriors to make the fights feel epic. Our ultimate goal is to build a group of roleplayers who can convincingly portray every threat the Empire might face—monstrous creatures, guardians summoned from the realms, brave Jotun heroes, disciplined units of Grendel soldiers, mages of the Thule, or the devious Druj, to name just a few!

	The key roles in each battle are portrayed by the '''Skirmish Team''', with some extra roles played by NPC or other crew. It is down to us to provide the leadership for player monster units during the battles, and represent the elite of the barbarian forces . Our involvement makes the whole experience immersive and fun for all participants.
