There are two ways to join: be a son/daughter of a Fremennik or be voted in by the council of elders. Saying how you can’t possibly get Gods War Gold in the first way, you’ll have to gain the support of seven of the twelve councilors.

Now that you’ve decided to become a Fremennik, go and talk to your first Fremennik councilor, Thorvald the Warrior. He is located in the helm shop building north of the building that Brundt is in. His task is for you to fight to the death with his warrior downstairs in the basement.

Climb down when you are ready. However, you will have some disadvantages in the battle.

One is that you won’t be able to bring any weapon or amour of any king (that’s why I told you to deposit your equipment in the beginning of the walkthrough).

Second, you’ll have to defeat the warrior three times, and at least try to kill the warrior in his fourth form or die trying.

Thirdly, you can’t use magic or range. If you somehow manage to kill the warrior four times then you’ll receive a Fremennik sword. Once you’re ready, climb down the ladder.
