			The Greymantles are a newly established Kallavesi hall of sailors, merchants, veterans and those seeking a second chance. The hall takes its name from the grey waves of Westerhal: waves that strike the shoulders, washing away the life left behind and offering the chance to begin anew.

			The Greymantles are bound by a public blood oath. Those who take the grey mantle swear to keep faith with their hall, speak truth to their kin, honour every bargain and stand against those who would break their peace.

			The hall is welcoming to those who deal fairly, whether merchant, sailor or stranger. Its members are expected to contribute through trade, labour and service, while in return receiving protection, training, favourable trade, fellowship and a new life.

			The Greymantles seek prosperity, ships, contracts and influence, while remaining willing to follow whatever current opportunity presents itself.

			Born in the heart of Winter 376YE, Renwaerd is an alliance of four halls: Tyrshalt, WhiteOak, Ætheling, and Phoenix Guild. It serves as more than just a collection of names. It's a calling: to serve Wintermark and bolster the Empire's strength.

			The hall points to the two crowns (the [[Crown of Three Tears]] and the Imperial crown) as evidence of their commitment. The Renwaerd have also served as stalwart defenders of Hulfi’s garden, many [[Things_that_burn#A_Hero_in_the_Night_(Kallavesa)\|falling in the defence]] against the ''scions'' of Cold Sun.

			Renwaerd thrives on strength, sharp strategy, and unwavering solidarity. They stand ready, with an eye beyond the battlefield. They strive to support Wintermark's warriors; whether that be in battle against barbarians or in the Imperial Senate. Their philosophy is simple: fight well, whether with steel or with words.

			The Renwaerd tirelessly protects Hanhmark's northern borders, a bulwark against the unseen and the undeniable threats. Their commitment to Wintermark's safety and the Empire's prosperity is absolute.

			The hall lies on the Empire's northernmost border, deep into the harsh and cold lands of Suaq Fount. The Akurend remained after the Jotun were driven from the territory during the winter of 384YE. They chose to live a nomadic lifestyle, building temporary halls quickly before disappearing into snowstorms without a trace. As masters of the hunt, they seek to prove themselves, tracking down the deadliest of creatures, believing "the greater the risk, the greater the reward." They rely on their mastery of hunting mammoths to survive, leaving nothing to waste. This maintains their survival and provides them wealth and goods to trade with the southern halls.
