Vostarg

The Vostarg are the eldest and most storied of the great lodges, a name spoken with reflexive respect across the whole scattered brotherhood of the Fyreslayers, for their war-histories are the yardstick against which every younger lodge quietly measures itself. Rooted in Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, they carry themselves as its living inheritance: proud, hot-tempered, and certain the oldest lodge ought also to be the boldest.

Their creed is the simplest of any lodge and the hardest to live up to: first to the charge, last to leave the field. A Vostarg fyrd does not hang back to see how a battle develops; it goes in at the front, where the ur-gold runes burn brightest, and will not withdraw while a single oath stands unfulfilled. A victory is measured not only in gold reclaimed but in the size of the tale that follows it home.

That weight of history is at once the lodge's glory and its burden. Every Vostarg warrior fights beneath the accumulated legend of a hundred generations who did it first and did it better, and the lodge's long memory forgives no shortfall. To march under Vostarg's banner is to be told, wordlessly and without cease, that the standard was set long ago and never once lowered, then sent to the hottest part of the line to prove it.
