The Greyfyrd Lodge are a ruthless and successful fyreslayer lodge mercenaries and warriors foremost. They have forgone mining and none but the Zharrgrim still work the forges. Instead their fyrds campaign constantly across the Mortal Realms, and their warriors are in high demand as mercenaries. The Realmgates of their primary magmahold - the Gatewold - in Chamon serve to facilitate this constant travel, and give the Greyfyrd access to locations across the Realms.[1a][1b]

Reputation

The Greyfyrd have built a reputation as deadly mercenaries and peerless warriors without qualm, stipulation, or questions beyond their prices being met. This fact has elevated their reputation and seen them serve for causes both just and unjust, and while their prices are high, it is warranted by their success.[1b] The Greyfyrd do not care for the morality of their warmongering, and judge their work by how it benefits the lodge.[6a]

Amongst the Fyreslayers however, their reputation is more troubled, and others are quick to point out how many of the scions of the Greygrend and the Greyfyrd have been overcome by the Glimmerlust. Perhaps this is the reason the Greyfyrd choose never to speak of their dark heritage.[1b][1c]

Culture

The Greyfyrd are heavily scarred, to the point where new injuries, such as shrapnel or torture devices, can obfuscate older wounds beneath them. A wounded Greyfyrd might replace their hand with a blade or some other instrument of war; while a Greyfyrd with a missing eye might nail it shut, replace it with a gemstone, or leave it raw for the sake of intimidation.[6a]

History

The Greyfyrd's ancestor Lodge, the Greygrend were destroyed in mysterious circumstances and the survivors would found the Greyfyrd.[1a] The Greyfyrd rarely speak of their origins due to their troubled founding, and a sense of secret shame. Instead, the Greyfyrd tell sagas of Lodge-Lords, Priests, and Warriors, who live on through their storied reputations. The current Saga is that of Hursgar-Grimnir, a legendary monster slayer.[6a]

Age of Sigmar

As the Realmgate Wars neared their close, and the All-Gates came under attack, the Greyfyrd lodge under the leadership of Runefather Hursgar-Grimnir, were hired by the Stormcast Eternals to take the Mercurial Gate. The Runesmiters tunnelled a force up into the centre of the fortress and were able to overcome the interior defences. However, they were eventually defeated in the ensuing battle when Archaon and the Varanguard arrived through the gate from the Varanspire.[3a]

Following the Necroquake, the city of Lethis in the Realm of Shyish was attacked by armies of Nagash and the lodge contributed forces to its defence at first, but in a response to unpaid debts by the city they opened the Onyx Gate of the city. So allowing the Nighthaunt processions of the Mortarch of Grief to enter.[2a]
