Stjordvik » Stjordvik Army » Frontier Thunderers
The Frontier Thunderers is a unit of Rjurik spear carrying infantry in Stjordvik. Because of the problems of weakening centralization in the realm, units are partially supported by provincial authorities, including guild and temple money. The units are becomming connected to the provinces where they serve, not only because of their patronage, but because subjects with a history with the unit remain nearby and able to serve when trouble comes calling. The Frontier Thunderers is based in Udvika. Many hardy subjects of Udvika have served with the Frontier Thunderers in the past, and join her again when the Blood Skulls attack.
