It is said in the Saga dedicated to them, that within the shelter of the walls of Jomsborg, a fraternity was slowly formed, one by one, gathering the bravest of warriors.
Founded on courage, righteousness, and skill in arms, the Jomsvikings order thus brought together the most elite of veterans.
Righteous men, experienced in pillaging and battles, ready to dedicate their blades to the gods, and to sacrifice their lives for their brothers in arms.
The order’s code dictated that they only admit the most valiant, never to give in to fear, to always avenge their comrades, to live in a fortress away from women, to divide the spoils of war.
For a long time, this elite troop reigned terror on the battlefields. Kings and lords poured gold on them to number them in their ranks, and dismay gripped the enemy as the Jomsvikings advanced in battle formation in the light of dawn. And when they slaughtered their opponents, it was in honor of Odin and Thor, in a grand ceremony of blood, death, and courage!
Alas! during Ragnarök, their fortress fell while the Jomsvikings were fighting far away.
So when the hour of the Last Battle comes, they will come forward, drunk with vengeance in remembrance of their own who fell in Jomsborg. And they will sell their skin dearly, until the last breath of life. Because that is what the Jomsvikings Saga teaches: how dreadful are they, even as they die.
In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, the bravery and beautiful discipline of the Jomsvikings give this troop the Blocker and Guardian talents. Their sense of sacrifice is integrated into the game when the troop is destroyed: it then carries out one last free attack against the attacker who forced them into death.
Woe to him who dares to carry iron against the sacred order of the Jomsvikings!
