Order of the Einherjar

== Combat Doctrine ==
Mass assault, targeted decimation, nationwide interdiction, liberation and limited theatre compliance campaigns.
== History ==
The Order of the Einjerjar were founded when the army of Bolgar of Ragnarok merged with the Church of Hermod. The greatest warriors were chosen to become the knights of Hermod, and with time found a place in the new country as a warrior elite, rulers and fighters both. 
The Order is one of many military formations in Ragnarok, which is host to more than one mercenary company, a standing army, and the infamous Demon Army, but it is the most prestigious, and serves at the direct command of the King. 
== Composition ==
The Order is composed of Companies of a hundred soldiers each, led by a captain. Each Company has its own culture and brotherhood. The elite First Company is composed of the Order's veterans, and is often led by the King directly. 
At the time of the War of the Philosopher-Kings, the Order was composed of four captains: 
* Gintaras, Captain of the 1st Company 
* Vissarion Adomaitis, Captain of the 2nd Company 
* Imeda, Captain of the 3rd Company 
* Dardan, Captain of the 4th Company 
As of the Thunderdome War, the number of line companies had increased to seven, which had grown large enough that control was delegated to a warrior with the rank of General, Vilhelms Eglītis. 
* Yordan Wyrzyk, Captain of the 1st Company
* Karekin Baghdassarian, Captain of the 2nd Company
* Celestyn, Captain of the 3rd Company
* Kazimieras Loncar, Captain of the 4th Company
* Gvidas Gorecki, Captain of the 5th Company
* Vahan, Captain of the 6th Company
* Shalva, Captain of the 7th Company
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
The Order of the Einherjar led the sack of Al-Mandera, cutting a bloody swathe through the Janissary ranks. They deployed again to aid in the pacification of the southern Final Empire, and seized Thunderdome close to the war's conclusion. 
== After the War ==
The Order fights on the forefront of the war against the Deep Ones, but its ranks have been racked by inexplicable madness, seemingly worse the closer they get to Thunderdome. Over the years, King Bolgar dealt with the plague of insanity by slaying the afflicted, but his successor Ludwig has faced more pushback. Increasingly, the knights of Order have begun to resent the civilians for whom they have sacrificed so much. Category:Ragnarok
