Hierarchy
- Chief
- Champion
- Brawler (From strongest to weakest)
Joining
Those wishing to join Stone Heart will have to show feats of strength, by a wrestling gauntlet. Losing does not necessary fail entry, but it does determine where in the 'totem' you fall. You will continue until you are defeated, making it possible for someone to start as the current champion.
Promotions
Promotions are earned through challenges and besting the person 'above' you. The foolish can go straight for the Champion. The chief will remain uncontested, as they are a guiding hand and manage the affairs.
Members within this guild often earned titles "the ___" based on what stands them out in a brawl.
- Arnfinnr the Winded came about because he would often get the air knocked out of him-- it became a running joke, especially as the man was a Hyfenblut.
Life in the Guild
Endless physical training in forms of classical gym work outs to answering dares by your fellow guild mates. In the frozen tundra they reside, this often meant braving the cold elements alone to prove you can, to do whatever thing they think you can't. Your position in the guild is constantly challenged by those beneath you, as you vie for something higher. But despite all of this, the camaraderie is tight and boastful, with many nights leaving your belly full of frothy drink.
Rules
History
The Disbanding
When Bjarke the Grizzled became a virtuoso he effectively destroyed his own guild. Like many with the same situation, Stone Heart never recovered-- either because of the amount of deaths, the pain of memory, or the fact that Arnfinnr the Winded's status was unknown for so long.
Due to the nature of the guild, very little of it is left to be seen. The guild banner is in many records, but there are no cultural artifacts that represent them (no special architecture, pottery, etc) Their impact on The Tapestry seems to be only by their way of life and the oral and written recollections shared to the 'mainland'.
Awards and Recognition
- Settled the region of Otkrytoye Polotno
- First established The Games that Coldhaven Pack continue to this day
- Potentially the root of the guild system as it is seen today.
