Siegkrieger (Ceeg kr EE ger)
Drunken warriors from the land of Haderde, they are incredibly fierce with their usually two-handed weapons, such as massive hammers, swords bigger than their own bodies, and halberds with blades as large as a wagon wheel, however these weapons have many disadvantages. The Siegkreigers are put in the front line because of the said weapons, They also cant wear too much armor or else they'll be barely able to move. Most of these warriors only work for double the original amount owed; for twice the danger of being at the front of the nation's armor they are currently employed with. These soldiers are also known to only fight in a drunken state.
|Weapons of the Siegkrieger|
The Siegkrieger are known to use weapons such as the Zweihander, A sword larger than the average person meant to be wielded with two hands.
Halberds of the Siegkrieger are Unorthodox to say the least. The blade is usually tall enough to reach the knees with the handle being far taller than a person.
Hammers of the Siegkrieger are near unusable, they are basically like boulders on sticks. Most Siegkriegers don't use this because out of all their weapons this is too unpractical, but there does exist a clan that does. The Schwerkrieger is a Siegkrieger with heavy armor, I decided to include them here because this journal is already nearly out of pages to write on.
|Preferred Drinks|
The Siegkrieger are actually quite picky about they're choice of drink. Depending on the warrior themselves it is decently varied but one they all seem to drink is Fetzigbrau. It's a brew so strong it can knockout a fully grown Dwarf. I myself have tried it and it put me to sleep for a solid week. I can't describe the taste but talking to some Siegkrieger, they have said and I quote
It's a burning feeling, the feeling reaches your brain and your muscles, no wonder you got knocked on your ass, your all skin and bones.Another separate quote from a different Siegkrieger
That damned drink clouds your thinking and can make any thing fun.I can't say these warriors lost their mind but I can say for sure they're a mad bunch. Written in the Journal of Solis Amica.
"The Drunken Wanderer"
Haderde had fallen into disparity at the time when they were at war with the Stone Elves of Lapistrava. The War-prone country was in disarray, losing battle after battle, soldier after soldier, then the wanderer known as Siegewalt wielding a massive almost blunt greatsword, met with the Emperor of Haderde. The wanderer wished to show his prowess to their great nation by showing them how to fight the abominations of rock, of course for a small fee. The Emeperor agreed, much to the surprise of Siegewalt, the Emperor was distraught and would take all the help he could get. The wanderer, when the day of the battle approached, did not prepare for war. Instead he started downing beer after beer till he started to stumble. He then went into battle completely drunk and swinging wildly but with a ferocity that none could ever replicate. He was ripping through the elves' stone hides and tossing them around with the force of a raging bull. When the battle was over the Emperor, from his lavish bedroom, could see Siegewalt sitting on a pile of rubble, nursing is aching head. (Many were inspired by this story and took up the wanderer's fighter style, along with his sense of fashion. This was the first ever recorded Siegkrieger.)
