The Song

The Song (Øngbrænskaldr: Sängen), also called the Men in White, were a Setfjallan cult. Worshippers of an ancient extraplanar entity, The Tree of Death, which they followed and found frozen in the Icemarshes. Their leaders had received visions from the Tree, and believed it heralded the end times and salvation for the worthy. Some of them occupied Vörgåsen and followed The Fallen Branch, whilst others remained in the Icemarshes.
They dressed in plain white robes to blend into the snow. The cultists rite of initiation involved driving a knife into their ears to deafen themselves.
They spoke Drowic Sign Language, a nonverbal Druidic language, to communicate. 
They were led by some High Seers, mostly magical. One of them, Thrane, a smug human man, was killed by Soot and the West Marchers. 
The second High Seer, second in command, was a Fre'ti half-bugbear half-giant, odd this far north. Named Rashbir the Stout, he was a towering beast of a man who needed no magic to be indomitable. 
Their Prime High Seer was a woman named Maud Jansen. She was a black-haired pale Øngbrænskald woman who specialised in weapon and duplication magic.
The Song's camp in the Icemarshes north of Vörgåsen was attacked by the West Marchers, Clan MacDeídhre and the Værdnr, resulting in large casualties on all sides. The Song were put down, with Rashbir and Maud both killed.
