The Perfidious
Amarok-Class Middelcruiser
SHS Omadhaun, the second ship in the Amarok-Class, in standard livery circa June 1941 during training exercises.
Some of the least-damaged ships in the Súþfolcstede harbour, Amarok and her sisters were among the first hulks to be re-floated, repaired, and re-armed as they were some of the least damaged. Patrolling the seaways around Sjælleneard from Oyashimese incursion and Ordenric Reclamation fleets (nonexistent), they would be one of the earliest large naval vessels operated by the Sæþrymm of the Hléowiegan Sweordbroþors.
The Order's harbour-town of Súþfolcstede is of great age. It is unknown when the Order first learned of the Southern Passages into the Ælfeneard, but the first permanent settlements within it are known to have occurred during the mid-1700s. Súþfolcstede was the major resupply route unto it until the discovery of the Wearpport in Bistralis in 1841, a much safer and year-round route into the Ælfeneard. An earthquake would hit Bistralis in 1908 however, detonating the magazines in the fort-city of Wearpburg. The force of this explosion ruptured the delicate matrix of magic and ritual maintaining the Wearpport, promptly destroying both itself and the entire central area of the Bistralian continent. A single voyage through the Southern Passages was attempted by way of Súþfolcstede to link back with the Ælfeneard in 1919, but was unsuccessful. The vast majority of the ships sailed back with skeleton crews, their men speaking of hellish demons and frightful spectres in the now Wearp-infested passages into the Ælfeneard, all heavy with damage from the ice in that cold abyss. Few were able to be repaired in time for the Great Stupid War of 1924, and afterwards the rapidly declining social and economic structure of the Ordenric homelands could not warrant enough resources to make a second attempt at entering the Ælfeneard by way of the Southern Passages. The economy was in shambles from the massive war-debts the Stupid War had incurred, and the feudalist society of the Ordenric was beginning to wane and crumble under the massive weight of the recent industrializations and war. From 1927 on, Súþfolcstede would be on its own.
In 1887, a small Gúteic tropical fishing settlement and trading post was started near the rich Ordenric port-city. Soon it would grow into a relatively rich series of plantations held as a private colony of the Gúteic knightly order of the Order of Swordbrothers of Sanct Magnhild. However, with the disbanding of the Order of Swordbrothers of Sanct Magnhild after the 2nd Schlassbeck War for heresy (where Gútemark was incorporated into the Holy Seladællian Confederation), she would largely remain forgotten...
