Entering The Order

to become a sworn Desstugal, the armoured marines who make up the bulk of Mautarks iron fist, there are many paths to walk. some paths of virtue and faith, others of opportunity and desperation

when Ar-Adunaim was founded, only those of the Adunakhori bloodline, the decendants of the kingsmen of old, were allowed to join. still to this day, it is an honour for any Târk household to have a son or daughter serving in this ancient brotherhood.

but as the year progressed, and wars were fought, it became clear to the officers, that to supply Mautarks hunger for war and to achieve fitgnau, they were forced to open their ranks for the lower class of Umbar.

today, most of the order is made up of Umbarim, who serve mostly as the orders desstugals. but it is a rarity, that they reach any ofther rank.

many of Zagars predecessors only recruited amongst the fleets of Corsairs who called the harbour their home. Zagar, however, having lived amongst the children of the gutter as a young boy, know that there are killers among in the dark corners of his city, from its prisons to the pitfights, from rogue corsairs, to fanatical cultists.

many of Zagars desstugals in the north are from these adventures into the dark underbelly of Umbar.
