**Sword of Laeradr** is an all-Pomokai Holoholona freedom fighter-turned military organization featured in *Little Witch Academia: Witches of Midgard*.

## Description & Characteristics

Named after the eponymous majestic tree situated on top of Valhalla in Norse Mythology, Sword of Laeradr was originally founded by Wrath of Thor as a resistance movement to oppose Naglfar, a neopagan cult of magic users who sought to end the legacy of Nine Olde Witches and ensure its patron deities Jötnar's reign over Midgard and beyond. Its foundation marked the first time Pomokai Holoholonas — a pacifist race of half-plant, half-animal entities native at Hoddmimi's Holt created by the Nines at the conclusion of Ragnarök — to join forces and take arms for themselves as the cult's violent campaign involved complete eradication of their kind. Alongside its allies Warband of Thapoli, Valkyrie Corps., Obsidian Dragons, and emissaries of House of Cavendish led by Diane Cavendish aka. Eir the Ice Sword Valkyrie, Sword of Laeradr fought in the 100 years conflict that became known as Thapoli-Naglfar War.

Though capable of engaging open warfare owing to its members' great physical and magical capabilities, Sword of Laeradr's main specialty lies in guerilla tactics such as espionage, ambush, and sabotage, all of which proved crucial in ensuring the organization's victories throughout Thapoli-Naglfar War since it was greatly outnumbered during its early days of involvement in such conflict. As the War progressed, Sword of Laeradr also began to utilize magic-mechanical equipment provided by Warband of Thapoli (see Tools & Equipment below) in conjunction of ancient crafts taught by both Nine Olde Witches and (according to some) Gods of Asgard as well as other combat tactics such as battle of attrition in order to maintain advantages over its enemies.

A member of Sword of Laeradr can be identified with the distinctive brown and yellow choker they wear around their neck. The choker itself adorned with a clasp bearing the organization's insignia and green diamonds to indicate ranks (see Ranks below).

It's uncommon, but not unheard of, Sword of Laeradr takes its fight at the outside world often to assist its allies in protecting places of interest. The most recent instance being the commission of Luna Nova Outpost which admittedly done in response of growing Naglfar threat in 21st century that became apparent through the cult's first attack on the very magic school itself.
