Welcome to the home of the Northern Fury. We are the defense force for Icemule Trace, Pinefar and the surrounding regions. We serve under the command of Valicar VonWraithmaster, a long-time citizen of these parts. Herein you will find the Fury's clan rosters unit by unit and information to help you decide if duty in the Fury is for you. You will also find the steps to follow to join our elite team.
		The Fury is for all ages and all professions, but not necessarily for all people. We are after all a military organization. We pride ourselves upon strict discipline, honor, courage, and loyalty. In the frozen north, fear benefits no one, cowardice holds no reward, but luck favors those whose courage holds true. Thus we embrace the deadly northlands as home and live according to her laws.
		For the moment, we are in the first stage of a multi-part plan to build a sizable defense force.Stage one incorporates only one small group of Northland folk dedicated to keeping the region free from invaders. These few shall make up the initial Northern Fury and many will function as officers as the Fury expands to many different units.
		My plan is to have these few trained to be a crack team of lethal fighters that will train the many that will be joining. During this time I will be taking applications from those interested in joining. Once I have the initial group trained, we move to stage two in which the new recruits will be activated.
		Stage two will see the accepted recruits put through a basic training of sorts (see below for details). After completing the initial training, each new member of the Fury will be assigned to a unit. Units will be divided up by age groups. Units, in accordance with our northern theme will be named by clans. Initially, they will be named Clan of the Tiger's Claw, Clan of the Bear's Tooth, Clan of the Wolverine's Might, Clan of the Snow Dragon, and a few other nifty titles.
		Thus each clan will have a totem they revere. We may even go as far as having things such as warcries we yell before charging into the press of combat. A clan should be made up of no less than 7 members and no more than 15, though in some cases, this may change. Assignments to a clan will be made by the acting Sergeant Major with the Chieftain (General) of the Clans advising.
		Stage three will come about once we have filled the needed officer positions and taken on and trained enough troops to fill 5 clans all told. At this point we will truly be a working military force. We will of course be taking on new recruits as they come and creating new clans (and promoting new officers to lead such) as needed.
		Basic Training will entail classroom study of basic tactics, local history, regional fauna, and what the Fury requires in the way of discipline and etiquette. There will also be plenty of field training designed to help us to test the abilities of each recruit to aid in unit placement.
		Recruits who cannot keep with the required discipline, fulfill their training obligations, or handle the rigors of the training will be dismissed. They may of course re-apply at a later date when they feel they are ready to serve in the Fury.
		Upon clan assignment, new members of the Fury will undergo intensive training in the field designed to test and temper the mettle of even the most bold hunter. The training is designed to teach the clan to fight under the most adverse and frightening conditions imaginable while maintaining order, combat effectiveness, and good teamwork.
		There will also be competitions between clans that will test them to the limits. Be it known that such contests will never entail combat between clans, but rather be quest based and require vast knowledge of the Realms and proficiency in combat.
		Realistically, Icemule is seldom invaded, but when it is, the destruction is usually severe. The Fury will strive to lessen such a blow or to drive off invaders altogether. Now because Trace is seldom invaded, the Fury will have a lot of down time.
		Thus the role of the Fury is one of a tool for role-play opportunities. It will build lasting friendships, and breed interaction amongst folks in a time where group hunting a camaraderie are things of the distant past.
