Who They Are

Survival forged them. Duty defines them. Loyal to their own, relentless toward those who would endanger their way of life.

At the cutting edge stands the Dreadnaught Special Operations Regiment, DSOR.

Elite special operations. Deep reconnaissance. Direct action.

Thornholde

Thornholde is the ancient capital of the Meles Nation, a fortress city carved from stone and will. Seat of government, heart of the military and symbol of northern defiance. Its walls have stood for centuries, and so has the resolve of the badger people within.

“By Claw and Flame” Kran na khar.
“Day or Night, We Are Ready” Den o nok, ra reda.

Relations & Threats

To the south lie the huge human desert cities, medieval in style, wealthy and often opposed to Northern interests. To the north, the Ursus Kingdom remains a powerful ally and fellow bastion of the Meles. The Vulpes walk a precarious path, serving their human masters as elite soldiers and Shadow Hunters. The Meles Nation watches every border with discipline, keeping faith with those who keep faith with them.

“The North does not kneel. It endures.”
