Officer of The North

Known as 'Bears' by the Northguards, these men are given the job of dealing out the commands of the March-Warden of The North. They are notably often fearsome - to their enemies and to their own men. They are in charge of Detachments of Northguards, of varied size.

Appointment
There can be any number of Officers at any time, and they are appointed by the Master of The North on the advice of the March-Warden of The North. In reality, the Master doesn't know who the great warriors are that he is appointing, but trusts the March-Warden's advice.

Appearance
Notably the Bears wear black bear-heads on their heads. These heads are painted with a sign showing which detachment the Officer is leading. He wears black furs, with a white undergarment on that cannot often be seen. An officer carries whatever weapons he wants to - whatever makes him fight the best.

Within The Order
Officers traditionally answer only the the March-Warden of The North, but officially should answer to the Master of The North, the King of Ceorlund, and the Moot of Ceorlund. They control the Northguards in their detachment only.
