Let fly the birds of war as a new Clan debuts in Northgard

Name the most Norse bird you can think of, then give it a twist because Playdigious is introducing not the Raven clan, mostly because they already exist, but the Clan of the Eagle in Northgard’s latest DLC. If you find gathering resources a challenge, then you are definitely going to want to see this.

The Clan of the Eagle, or Hraesvelg, are led by Grif because Big Bird sounded too silly. As a young child, Grif lived through the destruction of their parent’s clan, before being adopted by Hraesvelg. Living through this, then rising to the command of their new clan shows levels of adaptability that gave them the skills to be a perfect leader. The Eagles don’t need to worry too much about occupying large territory for resources, thanks to their Aviaries. These buildings house an army of, as you might have guessed, Hawks that are able to fly around and collect pouches are resources for you from Boneyards. This effect is placed on any enemy decolonized zones. This gives the Hraesvelg an incentive to focus on investing in military might, allowing their opponents to waste time and resources on expanding, before you swoop in, force decolonization, and then send in the Hawks.

To help with your swift assaults on enemy territories you have two key abilities. Your Falconers can use their watchkeeping ability to deploy a Hawk to an area which improves allied military power by 10%. You can also use Grifs’ special ability to summon a glacial wind to freeze all enemy units for 30 seconds, an absurd amount of time.

Our final special skill that the Hraesvelg have relates to that most entertaining of pastimes; treasure hunting. Thanks to their relic, Vídppnir's Feather, each Buried Cache opened grants a 2% attack power boost, stacking until 10%, but that’s not all. These chests have a chance to become a Fordibben Cache that when opened, will spawn Draugr, Fallen Valkyries, and Draugr Jotunn who aggro your nearest enemy, for that insane free damage.
