Long ago creatures were made by the goddesses Ferra and Haf to roam freely between realms. These creatures were messengers and signs from the goddesses for the creators and created. The Elves revered these creatures as they lived within both realms. One such creature was the seal. This mammal was inquisitive, socially adaptable, protective, friendly, curious, fast in the water, and extremely intelligent. While avoidant of humans, it was on the rare occasion that one seal saved the life of a child.
During a violent and dark storm, a ship was torn apart in Haf’s wrath for not giving her the sacrifice of a blood-coin. While many were lost at sea, a seal was sent by Ferra to save the life of a very small girl. This child had always been kind to Ferra’s creatures and the goddess had pity on her.
This child was later to be known as Eoflaed the Selkie, for it was claimed that only in being turned into a seal was how she survived The Coldfell River. As the years passed, Eoflaed kept the name close to her heart. While she chose a life far inland, the seals of the coast were always in her memory. When she became a Fist Leader within the Hearthguard, she was resolute to carry on the name of what was a significant part of her life. So, The Tetning Fist was created, and with it the resolution to be like seals on land: inquisitive, adaptable, protective, friendly, curious and fast. As Skirmishers these skills were invaluable in keeping them alive, protecting their army and crushing the enemies before them.

The Tetning Fist wears spotted paint on their foreheads of white. Their armor is heavier than most Skirmishers in order to keep them better protected in battle, but not so heavy that it keeps them from running quickly after the enemy. A member of The Tetning Fist is able to use many weapons, and responds to the need of battle quickly. Tetning Fist is able to work efficiently both alone if separated from the group, and even better as a force together. They keep each other safe and are not afraid to get into the thick of battle. 

Tenting is under the command of Huskarl Éofled. Éoflæd’s tale begins in the cold and misted wilds, her earliest memory that of being pulled from the icy grasp of the Coldfell River by an outlaw's hand. Raised in hardship, she was sold into servitude as a child and bore her chains until, through strength and will, she won her freedom. In time, her path crossed again with companions of the Hearthgard—friends who called her to greater purpose. At their urging, she took up arms and joined the Hearthgard host, fighting in their war for freedom and sovereignty. From those fiery days, Éoflæd rose in character, station, and command. Now she serves as Huskarl of the Tetning Fist, leading and training her warband with steady resolve. When not in the field, she tends to her steads and holdings within Hensinkt, oversees the affairs of Milfguard Cloister, and manages the workings of the Raven’s Gift Marketplace, where trade and tales weave together the lifeblood of the land.
