History of Rellekka



The Fremennik settlement of Rellekka on the north coast of the continent is considered to be the capital of the Fremmenik world. With a bustling port and marketplace and a rowdy longhouse, it has everything you need to portray your typical Fremennik scene.

 * Fremennik watchmen see an in-comming invasion of the province. High King Arn and Elder Thorkir Bravery assemble the tribe into a fighting force. They are able to overcome the outlander attack using a new cavalry force of armoured yaks. The force is later recognized as the army of House Praven, rulers of the March of Camelot.
 * Eastern emissaries make their way to the province, looking for the 'big fish'. Since Fremennik know quite a bit about fishing, they are happy to accept these outlanders. The same emissaries arrange for their own guard unit, the Khan's Guard, to arrive.
