The Triple Horn of Odin is a stylized emblem of the Norse Allfather God Odin.


WHO ARE WE?
After months of playing I found there a distinct lack of clans utilizing real teamwork and squad-based tactics.  In many cases, a few clan members may work together, but hardly ever the majority or ALL of them.  In this clan, every member is expected to function as part of a unit.

I’ve always been fond of Viking theme and North America was lacking in that department.  While a lone Viking is a fierce fighter, when surrounded by his brothers, he will become a destroyer.


INFO/ABOUT/GOALS
Those that put their team first forsake personal glory for the greater good of the clan.  We may not use the heaviest armor or most overpowered weapons, but together through teamwork create a more dangerous opponent.  Limiting our equipment via a roleplaying theme (Vikings) creates increased challenges and rewards while improving self-discipline and persistence/fortitude.

LEADERHIP ORGANIZATION: 

(click to show/hide)

Oligarchy – A ruling council of Jarls will make decisions with input & feedback from members.  There is no end all dictator or boss.  Veterans may lead small squads or tasks as well.  Everyone is expected to contribute to the clan’s success.

GOALS: 

(click to show/hide)

1) Become the most reliable shield wall unit in the game
2) Become a sought after mercenary group in Strategus
3) Become the face of Vikings in cRPG
4) Become THE teamplay clan in cRPG

RULES & REQUIREMENTS

(click to show/hide)

• Age:  You must be 18+, NO exceptions
• NA location:  This is a North American clan, and will play at NA times, only NA players will be considered
• No dual clanning:  Having a character in another clan is grounds for immediate removal.  This however does not restrict you from having an alt wear a friends banner and playing with them or being in their voice comms.  Teamwork requires dedication, which heavy alt playing takes away from
• Playtime requirement:  You are expected to play 10+ hours or 3-4 days of the week with your clan.  Teamwork requires effort and time, which cannot happen if you are not around as part of a clan.  If for any reason you will not be able to meet this requirement you should inform officers of your TEMPORARY absence.  Ie...finals week, vacation, business trip, etc
• Banner:  You must wear the clan banner at all times, unless an official clan event states otherwise.  Banner pack installation is mandatory
• Uniform:  You are expected to adhere to the Viking theme.  Use of restricted equipment is forbidden
• Voice Communications:  If you are playing on a character wearing the clan tag, you are EXPECTED to be on voice comms.  Have both Ventrilo & Teamspeak voice communication programs installed so that you can participate in allies voice comms as well
• Teamplay:  This clan is about team and squad tactics, Lone Wolfs and Rambos need not apply.  Gathering with your team or clanmates should be a priority

RECRUITING

(click to show/hide)

Are you interested in a clan that operates as a team or unit? 
A group of players that others will rally to for leadership and direction?
Do you enjoy doing your part to help the team win?
Can you put your team before yourself?
Are you looking for a mature group of fun & dedicated hardcore gamers that work together?
Do you want a clan with its own dedicated forums & voicecoms?
Do you want a clan with a defined requirements and standards?

Not everyone is cut out or tough enough to play under our restrictions.  Those that manage are among a select elite Viking warriors!

If you are still interested after reading my THIS post...
1)  Use the contact links below, pick an officer and send them a PM on cRPG forums expressing your interest to join and add them to Steam
2)  Use the ladder & apply to join NH clan
3) Take the initiative and Nordify your character (fair skin, thick beard, equipment posted below)!
4)  You are expected to play your main character as a recruit until you become a full member, to learn the game and how to work with squad/team.  We will not invite any recruits' alts to use banner.

Expect a recruitment process of around 2 weeks.  This will allow our members a chance to play with and get to know you better. 
After a few days if we are conformable playing with you, an officer will authorize you to put on the clan tag + ‘r’ to indicate you are a recruit.  If no problems are had after about a week of wearing the recruit tag, we will invite you to become a full member.

DO NOT WEAR TAG UNLESS TOLD BY OFFICER

APPROVED GEAR

(click to show/hide)

We would HIGHLY prefer you wear gear from this list as we believe it most reflects the Viking theme.  Dont get too hung up if your weapon isnt listed as long as it is very similar to one listed here.  For example, Long War Axe is listed, which means Long Axe is fine!

BUILDS
We strongly urge fighters to create versatile hybrid builds so they can fulfill many or any role needed on the battlefield.  Also consider working 4 POWER THROW w/90~ WPF into your builds as this fits a Viking theme.  Typically only Jarls or leader positions will be riding horses. 

Here are a few example builds

ÆGIS OF HEIMDALL:  Axe wielding rear guard

(click to show/hide)

The Ægis ("terror") looms in the back of the formation, wielding heavy throwing axes and a Great Long Axe, striking terror into enemy cavalry.  Any cavalry foolish enough to strike at the backs of the Norse will find himself unhorsed by the throwing axes and then set upon by the Great Long Axe.  Most long term cavalry learn to fear the Ægis and steer their steeds towards easier targets.  If no cavalry are about, the Ægis engages those who manage to circumvent the shield wall, breaking shields and skulls alike.

Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Skills to attributes: 2
Ironflesh: 7
Power Strike: 7
Athletics: 5
Power Throw: 5
Weapon Master: 5
Polearm: 111

LOKI'S MINION:  An agile Battle Support Archer aimed to create mischief and mayhem for enemies.  They stay close enough to friendly infantry to provide cover fire.  Fast enough to outrun most foot soldiers and act as bait and distraction while allies chop up the opposition.  Can hold their own in melee.

Gee, looks like players are abandoning DL?

[Nessaj]

Nice to see someone focusing on teamwork, everyone acting as a unit, something I've personally always felt missing as well.
The game is tons of more fun if you work together as a unit, plus you can pretty much destroy all opposition unless they organize too.
