Free Warriors

Free Warrior

(On Nilfeheim Society )

In Nilfeheim culture and society, there are Free Warriors that are nor bound to a particular clan, but associate by decission to a clan. They may  limit their association by time or oaths. Usually Free Warriors are hired and receive wages and in the days of Clan wars they received a part of the loot.

In general they are with the clan for life, but can and do leave when the conditions of their oath (contract) are no longer valid or expired (usually with the  demise of the person they swore their oath to.

Free Warriors come from Clans that cease to exist (See : Why Clans disapear ) Some Free Warriors rise  from Freemen, by heroic deeds and fights and are recognized  as Warrior by the Elders. (A Nilfeheim Warrior is a social stand and a title that is bestowed upon a person that completes the Ancient Challenge and technically anyone can[1])

‎While Clan Wars are outlawed by the Elders, Clan Feuds are not, and no one on Nilfeheim has yet to agree where a Clan Feud stops and a Clan War starts. So in all sense and purpose  Clan Wars are still fought, just not called that way. With the exception that open Burg raids and sieges are no longer done.
