    Notable Members

    Show
    • Ingwald - A young man with slightly more education than is useful or convenient for a rural peasant, which he claims he got from a travelling priest. He can read some words and is the member of the Thorns most prone to talking back. As a plus, he is more intelligent than most of the others, and did master the crossbow fairly quickly.
    • Gustaf - A hunter from the Thornwood. Doesn't talk much (some like Ingwald make fun of him for being "simple") but is one of the best shots in the regiment - it was him who scored the three consecutive hits during the contest with the Gamecocks.
    • Hanna - A young woman from Manann's Keep. Her husband, a much older man, was killed during the battle for the town. Seeing one of Viggo's performances in the town square, she slipped away from her husband's family and signed up before they could object. She's not very good with a crossbow, but is very gregarious and seems to much prefer the company of her new friends to her old family.
    • Petar - Brother of Baldo.
    • Gunther
    • Kaspar - Knows how to ride a horse.
    • Hagen - Injured while taking the gates of Savonne. Has a mark in the shape of a Raven's wing on his leg from where Elsa used Morrslieb to cauterize the wound.
    • Silas - Accompanied the party to Harmugstahl.
    • Steffan - Accompanied the party to Harmugstahl.
    • Thom - Accompanied the party to Harmugstahl. Nicknamed Whispering Thom on account of his exceptionally loud voice.
    • Hilde - One of Elsa's bodyguards when the party went to find Tatiana.
    • Rike Moller - Volunteered for the group that lured the Rivermouth ghouls out of Nath and into a trap. Sole survivor of the group attacked by Gunda.
    • Steffen - Lured the ghouls.
    • Karol - Lured the ghouls.
    • Marius - Lured the ghouls.
    • Linde - Lured the ghouls.
    • Kurt
    • Hamlyn - Survived Nath, but lost a leg.


    Permanant Injuries
    • One man lost a leg at the Third Battle of Arrow Heap and walks with a false one.
    • Hamlyn lost a leg at to the spirits of Nath and walks with a false one.


    Former Members
    • Ottilda - A woman from the Thornwood, in her late thirties. Viggo found her returning with a group of refugees from the Dead Hills, whom she seemed to have taken charge of. The other recruits find her a little intimidating, as she refuses to talk of her family or her past, and her arms are scarred with recently-healed burns. She has thrown herself into training with more zeal than most of the others and is frustrated at her inability to best Gustaf at target shooting. Fought bravely in Rivermouth until no one but she and Sieghard were left standing. Sieghard blames himself for not being able to save her.
    • Goran - A burly charcoal-burner who Viggo convinced to join the regiment on the grounds that, with his hut destroyed by the greenskins, he had nothing better to do. He's not the best shot in the Thorns, but he follows orders dutifully and has the strength and stamina of an ox. Selflessly threw himself into a pack of ghouls so that others might live. Survived the battle, but later died of injuries sustained.
    • Lanwin - A runaway. One of the newer recruits. Died in Rivermouth, shortly after being recruited.
    • Boldo - Recruited by Ludo and Viggo in Isolici. Killed by the Red Company while keeping watch for Alvarr's forces outside of Arrow Heap.
    • Baldo - Brother of Petar. Died during the Third Battle of Arrow Heap.
    • Ortwin - In charge of the cannon. Died at Nath when Nahorek's spirits attacked.
    • Hans - Went with Ludo to capture Klammenberg. Killed by Gunda.
    • Johann Lennart - Went with Ludo to capture Klammenberg. Initially escaped Gunda's ambush with Rike, but was chased down and killed.
    • Florin - A gangly boy of about 17, who entirely believes Viggo's exaggerated account of the battle with Magog. He practically hero-worships Sieghard and Viggo, an inconvenient trait that is made up for by the fact that he is an enthusiastic learner. Grew disillusioned with Sieghard's leadership after the disaster at Rivermouth and abandoned the unit.
