Faction Preview: Obotrites

**Úlfhéðinn** · May 29, 2012, 02:20 AM

The Obotrites were a confederation of medieval west slavic tribes within the territory of modern northern Germanly. For decades allied to Charlemagne and sworn converted christians... but not yet, and the history is your to make.
Wedged between the warloving Danes and the mighty Franks their only salvation might be to ally with their neighbours to the east, Vendland.

Strengths
A good variation of Slavic light and heavy warriors, producing a decent selection of infantry
Weaknesses
Being closest to the Franks and thereby being their first target for converting the heathens to the North might prove difficult

Starting regions

Stargard in Wagrowie region and Zwierzyn in Reregowie region

UNITS

Rikotë Tjarlai
The rich men from the Obotrites were well armed and armored and formed the strongest core of its army

The team's motivation come and go and work is not always efficient but all of us have a burning desire to see WotN released.

Open Beta is not far away now and I feel the need to give small previews of all the factions before that release. So here I give you the Obotrites in all their glory (or some of it).
They share most of the unit roster with Vendland but have a few unique units as well. The units are made by absithia and Heathen Storm.

And stand by for more previews...
