Values

Hildibrandr is a Norse-inspired empire with a focus on battle and combat in all varieties of the art. Originally the savage birth-clan of Fullvalda Nyra and her sister Eldritch, Hildibrandr is now meant to be a home for those who wish to hone their skills under a banner of resilience and loyalty to one another.
While combat-heavy in focus, they will not turn away individuals with other skills.

Climbing The Hierarchy

In Character (IC) progression is the only way to gain power/status within Hildibrandr.
This is done to encourage bonds between pack members via threading together! It is also encouraged for any individuals to hold the status of a Tier 3 rank before attempting to hold a Tier 2 or 1 rank.

Breeding

Only those that have gained the Fullvalda's acceptance can breed with the intent to give birth, as the goal is to ensure strong linages within the pack. If a pair of wolves wishes to breed, or if a single wolf wishes to gain the favor of the imperial family, they must meet with the Fullvalda and request their permission. Once given, the permission to breed is given for life unless otherwise agreed upon. However, at any time, the Fullvalda can revoke this privilege as they see fit.
