====Thane====

Thanes serve as the champions of Holds. Once a title given to the finest of a Hold's muster, Thanehood in the age of the Empire often serves as merely an honorary title. Those who earn their title through feats of courage, however, are still found in those Holds that still stand true to the Nordic ways. A Thane's duty is to live a good life in times of peace, and be the figure who leads the Jarl's army in times of war. Regardless of the practicality of their appointment, they are largely independent figures, expected to act with individual initiative and self-reliance in their dealings for the Hold. It is therefore the Thanes who aspire to and often receive the highest battle-honors, who are the epitome of what it means to be Nord warrior.
