Introducing the Marienburg Freeswords

Marshal Kurdt von Uffen
A vicious old fighter, Marshal Kurdt von Uffen is an exile form the manor of Nordstomland, near Marienburg, five years ago, and after many wanderings eventually found his way to be leader of the Marienburg Freeswords.

He leads the Eagle Confederation Knights, a tough band of younger sons of great and ambitious families, who have to leave home to make their fortunes.

He has a string of great victories behind him, and a serious dislike of beastmen: in fact anything with horns. Brave, impetuous, and bold.








Father Ulric the Black
A cleric who has seen it as his vocation to come to the borderlands and minister to the men who look to Sigmar for guidance. A reformed boozer and whorer, Ulric has long since gone on the straight and narrow. Unfortunately, he also believes everyone should be on the straight and narrow, and deals ruthlessly with his men, who have come to respect him, despite his ale-free ways.

Father Ulric is fearless and confident, and leads from the front.







Luddvig the Accursed
Luddvig the Accursed is a border prince exiled from Wissenland after being accused of murder – and like all the great leaders of the borderlands, he knows how to get his way, by force or other means.

The arrival of the Marienburg Freeswords, with Marshal von Uffen and Ulric the Black, has cramped Ludvvig's style, but as Marhsal von Uffen is his cousin, he felt unable to refuse.

A renowned strategist and perjurer, he was overcome by a rare bout of bravery, and whilst fighting in personal combat with the ogre tyrant, he was taken alive, and finally sacrificed to the Great Maw. His last words were said to have been 'At least my gold is safe!'




Uter the Bastard
Sixteen year old son of Luddvig. Luddvig never planned for his early death, and certainly never allowed any of his bastard sons to be recognised as his heir in case they over threw him. When he died suddenly, there was something of a tussle for his kingdom, but Uter's mother, a Tilean whore by the name of Countess Franzeska di Polionis, was quick to exile the other rivals, and install her son as king.

Uter is something of an unknown quantity amongst his subjects: but the fact he has banned his mother from court politics bodes well. She is currently locked in Ormshole Castle, the site of the great massacre of Prince Khorandis' advance guard.
