History: In the bitter windswept lands of the Norse territories, Vidar Ulfgard, a fierce warrior and renowned tactician, joined forces with his closest comrades, Bjorn, an unrivaled berserker, and Renga, a skald of unparalleled wisdom, to form The Ulfgard.\r\n\r\nFounded in the year 1072, during a time of chaos and warring tribes, the trio envisioned a mercenary group that would rise above the strife, offering their strength and strategy to the highest bidder, while adhering to a strict code of honor. The Ulfgard name was chosen as a tribute to Vidar\'s family lineage, invoking the spirit of the mighty wolf, symbolizing unity, loyalty, and strength.\r\n\r\nIn their early years, The Ulfgard faced numerous trials, including battles against marauding giants from the North and bloodthirsty pirates from the Eastern seas. But with each victory, their reputation grew. Their formidable combination of Vidar\'s tactical mastery, Bjorn\'s raw strength, and Renga\'s profound wisdom and diplomatic skills established them as a force to be reckoned with.\r\n\r\nThe Ulfgard evolved over time, swelling in ranks as they attracted warriors from across the Norse lands. Vidar, Bjorn, and Renga maintained their positions as the ruling triumvirate, guiding The Ulfgard through tumultuous times, and cementing their reputation as some of the most formidable mercenaries in the Norse world. Their legacy lives on, inspiring each new generation of The Ulfgard with their unwavering commitment to honor, strength, and unity.
