Sons of Rurik

= Sons of Rurik Ork Tribe = The tribe formed in Rathnir on December 2nd, 2021 when Warlord Jorunn established living arrangements with TheUneasyAlly in the city of Nearon in the Province of Alda in the Kingdom of Savernia in the Empire of Uldarash. Since deciding to move on from Haven, the ork tribe maintains close relations with Uneasy, but have also pursued their fighting interest by becoming swords for hire in the ever-changing political mess of Rathnir. This document tries to balance historical accuracy with the orkz' perspective on the world.

Formation
The SoR was formed on December 2nd, 2021. Baron TheUneasyAlly and Warlord Jorunn came to an agreement of living quarters in exchange for a permanent defense force. Jorunn called to his kinsmen, and twelve of his most loyal ork boyz answered the war horn. The orkz settled along a street in the northern part of the city, where they resided until eventually deciding to leave Nearon.

Gearing Up (Dec 2-Dec 18)
After formation, the orkz of the SoR quickly set about grinding as much xp, armor, and weapons as they could. Ork minerz looted the subterranean world of Rathnir for weeks and collected a myriad of valuable assets - none so valuable as the gold and diamonds they plucked from the ground. The orkz crafted as much as armor as they could and cast anicent ork rites of protection on as many sets as they could. Despite its young status, the ork boyz had managed to accrue a massive amount of wealth in a short amount of time. However, as the orkz were grinding, the political situation of their adoptive home was quickly changing. Tensions in the Kingdom of Savernia were beginning to come to a head, and the orkz were unsure of how things were going to proceed. On the 7th, the Kingdom of Savernia gained independence from the Empire of Uldarash, which they quickly gave up on the 18th. The decision incensed a good number of citizens.

Scammed! (Dec 18)
As tensions began to boil over, Warlord Jorunn began to look to his own ambition of starting a kingdom ruled by orkz. The Warlord's own naivete would cost him dealy, however. Jorunn got wind of someone offering an island, and it wasn't long before the young Warlord found himself in a sale. The SoR scrounged together 200k and "purchased" the island from Capna, Melki, and Tylerr. The warlord quickly realized his mistake, but the deed was already done. The chief of the orkz had been scammed.

The Savernian Crisis (Dec 18-Dec 28)
As the orkz grinded and learned about the server, their host TheUneasyAlly was fighting for his city's freedom, autonomy, and traditional rights. His protests against King Logan's increasing demands culminated in a "Letter of Grievances" which outlined many of the city's lamentations. The document was given on the 18th. Logan Ashwood turned around with his own Rebuttal on the 19th, which was quickly met by a massive portion of his Kingdom by a new "People's Council of Savernia (Response to the King's Rebuttal") on the 20th. Multiple members from across the Kingdom of Savernia had signed the document in support of TheUneasyAlly as well as adding their own greivances to the new document by the People's Council. Logan was quick to deem the group, who by now referred to itself shorthand as the "petitioners", as traitors to his reign. The orkz prepared to defend their friends in Nearon, but TheUneasyAlly held firm in his belief of a peaceful protest, frequently talking the orkz down from a frenzy.

On the 18th, Logan Ashwood gave up Savernia's independence and rejoined the Empire of Uldarash. It wasn't long before the Empresses Scotchknight and Nikephoros were asked to mediate the issue. The issue was laid to rest for a few days but ultimately the empresses decided to rule in favor of Logan without ever having spoken to TheUneasyAlly. The ordeal sealed Jorunn's distatse for Logan Ashwood, believing the king lacked any decent orkish qualities. No self-respecting ork would follow a leader who had to run to his superiors to handle his problems. The contemptful warlord quickly made plans to move.

Wandering Mercenary Tribe (Dec 31-???)
The SoR quickly transferred to Mercenary work, opting to leave the Kingdom of Savernia in any official capacity.

Contracts
Contracts are simply wars in which SoR was PAID to participate in.

Wars
Wars are wars that the SoR volunteered for without pay.

Siege of Viodoxa (Jan 2)
The Siege of Viodoxa was the SoR's first ever combat in Rathnir. Jorunn_SoR, SoR_Project_Letum and Ligmafar set out from Uldarash and travelled to the distant continent of Cymuru alongside some Aldan volunteers in Mogwai_swe, TimidZero, and BizarreHC. All 6 volunteers made it to the rallying point, but a supposed ally killed Ligmafar, a tragic loss for the orkz. Mogwai_swe, after a quick nap, mysteriously died and never woke up. The 6 volunteers were down to 4. The battle itself went without any issues, with neither ork dying while scoring several kills. The final score was 280-19 in favor of Loic and his forces.
