    Thanks for the input guys. I'll probably put at least some English in the names so you know what they are and do, while keeping some of the flavour.

    Go Ethnic, what's the harm in it?

    Well if you do decide to go with ethnic names, you should use the correct Old Norse term for infantry (drengr), because Jarl means earl or nobleman. I have studied Germanic languages for about a year and I could help you with translations assuming that you will decide to use the ethnic languages.

    The Jarls are basically the rough equivalent of the later Earl among the AEsir and Vanir. Every tribe has it's own king, so Jarls would likely be more common than they were among the later Norse, so that some could even be collected into units themselves, though most of them will be an "officer" for heavy infantry units.

    I appreciate the offer, I might take you up on that.
