Huh...well, that was pretty interesting. Guess he ain't so generic after all. Well then, curious to see who the Warlord will be based on...at least outside of a Viking chieftain seeing as the Warlords are considered the "nobility" of the Vikings in For Honor.
When I saw Raider for the first time I immediately thought of the Viking berserker at the second battle of Stamford Bridge. The one that held off the entire english army while the rest of Hardrada’s army had time to put on armour, this implies that the Berserker himself likely wasn’t fully armoured.
you give raider the chainmail armor set and the hundingsbane helm or any the other helms with a chain coif round the mouth you have a close resemblance to a housecarl/huskarl.
I graduated highschool on the year 2023, and my english professor read with the class Beowulf, the first half of the school, and in the second half of the school year, we read The Alchemist. Beautiful stories and treasures of literature. 3:07
In regards to raiders and their lack of armor. Berserker or berserkir means bear-shirt. Basically the berserker tribe that worshiped the bear wore bear pelts. But it was once mistranslated to mean bare-shirt or no shirt. This translation has been largely abandoned but it might've inspired the raider.
I always think raider was related to houscarl an9ther idea was the raider and his relationship with stigandr being tht stigandr is a jarl and he was taken away the people of his clan took to listen to our raider showing tht their is something mor to them and maybe even having a close connection to warlords
My i add that there is a clip of modern Norwegian Soldiers chanting "Til Valholl" that you can find on youtube. All of what you said about the Norse fighting spirit rings true to today.
As cool as it would be, it's not likely, Ubisoft has done quite a bit of running AWAY from Christianity, because it's not okay to be Christian in current year. InB4 I'm Christian, I'm just observing that it's not exactly popular to be Christian
@@dr.calibrations7984. You're talking out of your ass. They don't have to go for Christianity, especially considering most religions are apparently dead in the For Honor universe, though that be explained by saying that the Cataclysm dealt with religious organizations much like it dealt a huge blow to the human population.
To add to this theory, ok. The bridge, when I looks like the Raider is going to die, they yell a battlecry unafraid of death and willing to fight until the last breath
In you look at the french version of for Honor, the raider is called "Hersir", wich is a military commander of a hundred soldier (exactly like a centurion). Wich is more fitting in a way. Also, the warlord is called "Jarl", a title equivalent to a lord.
The Housecarls where specifically a Danish institution started by Canute. His original Housecarls where comprised of Varangian guard veterans and carried with the discipline they had learned in fighting in Greek Roman armies. That being said no other Norse texts or histories mention Housecarls except the Danes and specifically for Canute. The Saxons inherited the system after Canutes death, not even the original Danes kept it in use for as long as the Saxons. Do note that most of the Housecarls we read about in history would’ve been Christian soldiers rather than pagan ones, as the north was almost entirely christianized by 1066.
@@RavenKnightYT. That's gonna be a fun one, especially since the new guy was apparently set to be the new Pharaoh before the Cataclysm, which means he's likely over 1000 years old. (Even older than that considering For Honor's multiplayer is set decades after the campaign, which itself was set about 1000 years after the Cataclysm.)
Reason four to play Gears of War. It's not just and action shooter game, that's what it is but its also has horror elements in it. For a game where's just constant shooting; it's very dark, setting wise. Remember when I said that the game applies Destroyed Beauty and how there was a world that was beautiful until it was destroyed; well that's also used to apply horror. And not just the setting applies horror but the enemies are also terrifying. Their design and there mechanic's in the game increases the horror element. Raven I know you see theses you, YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME.😂
grendel old english meaning the grinder, in 1066 at hastings after the death of harold godwinson before the norman orcs could collect the head of the king the houlscarls would rather fight to the death before they let their kings corpse loose its head on that day the last housecarls would war cry GODWINSON! orc old english for monster/invader/foreigner. Housecarls the Cynning/kings royal guard always present at battlegrounds whenever the king was present kings property and at the witan/the city council.
@@RavenKnightYT It's the same for a lot of non Samurai/Wu lin caracters. Warden->Sentinelle Peacekeeper->Spadassin Black Prior->Victimaire Conqueror->Fléau wich is quite interesting and fiting because it can be translated to flail, juggernaut, scourge or curse Lawbringer->émisaire but I like the english one better personnaly I did not talk about the others because it's the same (like valkyrie) or it's just a translation(like warmonger->Bélliciste and gryffon->griffin) I think that maybe the french names were chosen before and the other languages after while choosing more generic names to appeal to wider audiences. It would make sense because the studio is in Montréal. Or they don't talk french out there and I'm just dumb idk
@@RavenKnightYT I already did some research concerning those names but for some of them like the Victimaire I'm quite lost. That would make and interesting video topic I think
![[TF2] FOUR HOURS of Weapon Reviews!](/img/n.gif)
Raven: No slippery foot work.
Raider: *laughs in frequent stunning tap mix ups
As a Dane, this video fills me with childlike glee. I may be a millennia apart from them but this video still makes me feel so proud of my ancestors.
"You are a Huscarl! Legendary!"
Finally, someone makes the joke!

Warlords are called Jarl in the french version of the game, just saying

You are a Raider! Legendary!
"You are Beowulf! Legendary!"
Lol
Funnily enough, here in the spanish translation we have Warlord named Huscarl
He was my first hero played for 10 reps before I played any other hero since season 0
Same he was my first hero
He was so op for a really long time honestly
I can practically taste your dodgelights from back then.
you give raider the chainmail armor set and the hundingsbane helm or any the other helms with a chain coif round the mouth you have a close resemblance to a housecarl/huskarl.
Yea tht us wat I do with my raider
It's just a shame that the chainmail hauberk is vacuum sealed to his muscles.
Yep, that's exactly what I did when the chainmail armor came out
If only the chainmail dropped in scavenging and boxes. Literally opened over 100 of them and still no chainmail and I’m rep 38 raider. Disgusting
One can be a lion, one can be a fox. If you can be a lion and a fox, that is power.
why a fox lol..wolf or bear with lion sounds more badass and more powerful
@@specialopssoldier1 foxes are clever
Cool quote bro
So, if I play a Warlord, is the nearest raider sworn to carry my burdens?
This makes my day, you made the video of my all time favorite hero
"Uhuh look at the cool vikingsss" I was not ready for that
Huh?
@@RavenKnightYT when you said that frase and was not expecting the lisp and bursted out laughing ahah

Nuxia can use her zone during chain.But I love ur videos especially warriors in history.
The option to have a hornless helmet is so nice
I hope they give the samurais more Christian gear as a reference to Nagasaki samurai

I was so happy to log onto UA-cam and see this in my reccomended
What is cool is that some Anglo-Saxon huscarls made their way east to Constantinople and even joined the Varangian Guard.
I hope they give the Vikings the Sutton Woo helmet
Funfact: In the latin american translation of the game the Warlod is named huscarl
In Spanish the warlord is named: Huscarle
Awesome video!! Could you do a video about Warlod as well? That would be poggers
Valhalla brother Odin waits for us

I love the music in the background the song is my mother told me from Vikings and assassin‘s creed Valhalla
Beowulf + housecarl = Raider nice
I love these vids.. does anyone else agree medieval studies should be a mandatory class in grade school?

Fantastic as always Raven
I always thought the raider was more of a hersir.
Nuxias can do mid chain zones too
HARVESTING SEASON HAS ARRIVED!!!
Are you ready to make one of these on the Medjay coming soon?
Yes. Absolutely.

My mother told me in the background :D
LEGENDARY
Very interesting, it appears I do not know a lot about Norse culture. Does anyone know where I can kinda start?
I would like to think that the genesis of the universe in the eyes of the norse is a perfect way to start. Ymir and the comic cow
I've never clicked on a YT vid so fast.
Could we get more lore vids

What viking song does he have playing? It slaps
"My Mother Told Me"
@@RavenKnightYT thanks
What’s the song playing in the background
they made raider too goofy
Sir, can you provide where you got the background chanting music from?
It’s catchy!
Make sense... also what is the background music you are using in this video?
My Mother Told Me
But the version he uses is from a channel called Time Traveler
@@papabear4941 thanks.
In french raider is called hersir but that's definetly not french
Do you know the origin of this word? It's the same for warlord who's called Jarl.
Hersir's were viking military commanders prior to the 10th century. It's a fair name for Raider.

It annoys me so much that warlord is called huscarle in spanish.
Yea
:)
I refuse to have raider as a huscarl no matter what you say
Okay.
also there were no female viking raiders..they were all males. idk why the dev added female . wish they can keep the game historically accurate
“WoMaN pOwEr!” Lmao 💀
