To Become Fremennik

In order to join the Fremennik, a person at least the age of thirteen must undertake a series of trials which are customarily given by the Elders, whose purpose are to ensure that the fatherland continues to follow the long-held beliefs and traditions which has sustained a hardy, northern folk for centuries. To become Fremennik, one must pass three of the five trials.

The First Trial
The first trial is administered by the Fifth Elder;
the incumbent Fifth Elder is Dentor Skarpsköld

The Second Trial
The second trial is administered by the Fourth Elder;
the incumbent Fourth Elder is Ruald ...

The Third Trial
The third trial is administered by the Third Elder;
the incumbent Third Elder is ...

The Fourth Trial
The fourth trial is administered by the Second Elder;
the incumbent Second Elder is Thorgag ...

The Fifth Trial
The fourth trial is administered by the First Elder;
the incumbent First Elder is Ulfheoinn Roveryk

After the trials are over, if at least three out of the five trials are passed, then those challenged are initiated as Fremennik of Rellekka. Hi, I'm Dan.

Rellekkan Society

The Rellekkans are a hardy, simple folk whose existence stretches far before life was brought to Gielinor. One of the remaining civilizations to remain faithful to the old ways of life, the Rellekkans are a cold, and rather exclusive people whose membership in society hinges on their success in a series of trials.

Though not as advanced as most southern civilizations, the Fremennik are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, with small, but speedy longships, sturdy round shields, ruthless tactics and an unwavering will to triumph.

Though despite their strength and will, most Fremennik do not see much use in conquest and fortune, preferring simply to live off of the unrelenting tundra which they have relied on since the days of Terragard.

Magic in Rellekka
For centuries, since V, the late Fremennik god, and his followers were cast out because of their discovery and pursuit of magic, Rellekkans have had a staunch hatred of users of magic, which would lead to the devastating Rune Crusades on southern settlements choosing to follow the same path as V and his followers.

However, recently, due to the return of V, and eventual demise, Rellekkans and Moonclanners have reconciled, albeit awkwardly, for the most part, while some more traditional Fremennik, and Moonclanners, remain at war with each other over the use of magic.

Gods in Rellekka
Worship almost does not exist in any Fremennik land, as most do not hold much regard to any particular god, though many respect the difference between mortal and deity.

Guthix and V, in particular, are the most revered or respected among Rellekkans, and all Fremennik.

Outlanders in Rellekka
Outlanders, those who are not Fremennik, receive contempt and suspicion by Rellekkans; most southern states, for this reason, are regarded suspiciously.

Although some traditions have been forgotten, the hatred of outsiders remains. Hi, I'm Dan.

Rellekka's Guard

Rellekka has two forms of militias, regulars and conscripts, which undertake very different objectives. A constant, but small, regular militia stands to enforce law and order, defend the walls, and protect the Elders, Lawspeaker and Chieftain from any threat. As it is paid in coin by the Chieftain, he is in personal command of this first form of militia.

The second form is a larger force, which consists of clansmen and women raised only by the Chieftain to defend the fatherland from a great, and immediate, danger. However, such a force sees continued use in times of war. With no standing army, Rellekka must rely on the strength of its clansmen and women raised at the call to arms in light of this, Fremennik are taught forms of combat, and the skills of survival, from an early age, so as to be prepared for their immediate need. Once raised, the force is overseen by the Chieftain himself.

Regulars

Duties of the Regular Militia
- Regulars are expected to enforce the common law and order of the Chieftain.
- Regulars must enforce the Customs, but they are not above them.
- Regulars shall defend the walls of Rellekka and her people.
- Regulars are charged to defend the Elders, Lawspeaker and Chieftain from any and all threats.
- Regulars are under the direct command of the Chieftain, and shall follow his orders so long as they do not violate the Customs.

Conscripts

Duties of the Raised Militia
- A raised militia is that of every able-bodied Fremennik of fighting age, that is the year sixteen, who must answer the call to arms issued by the Chieftain.
- A raised militia will partake in defending the fatherland against a great, and immediate, threat.
- A raised militia is used only in times of war, against the enemies of Rellekka.
- A raised militia is under the absolute oversight of the Chieftain, and shall follow his orders so long as they do not violate the Customs. Hi, I'm Dan.
