[[Image:LeaguesOfVotannVsOrks.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A [[Kinhost]] battles Orks]]Built at the [[Kindred (Leagues of Votann)|Kindred]] level, a Kinhost is built around what Kin call "soldiers of the line", the most prevalent of which are [[Hearthkyn]]. Each Kindreds forge prioritizes arming and equipping their Kinhost soldiery above all else save perhaps the essential duties of [[Hold]] maintenance and ship construction. Despite Hearthkyn technically being militia, they are not treated as expendable and often are supported by large numbers of medics. Strong bonds of loyalty bind the individuals of each Hearthkyn squad together and ensure comradeship of one squad to the next, meshing the Kinhost formations beneath the trusted leadership of their heroic leaders. Above these forces are the elite [[Einhyr]] and leadership that consists of [[Theyn]]'s and [[Kahl]]'s.{{Fn|1}}

When a Kinhost mobilizes for a great war that threatens the existence of a Kindred or its Hold, it is commanded by its Kindred's [[Votannic Council]]. For smaller conflicts, it is normally led by smaller gatherings of heroes such as [[Kahl]]s, [[Brokhyr]] Iron-Masters, or [[Living Ancestor]]s.{{Fn|1}} These in turn are supported by vehicles and voidcraft as well as Kin from other organizations organisations such as [[Hernkyn]] and [[Cthonian Mining Guild|Cthonians]]. These are grouped together in smaller formations dubbed [[Oathband]]s.{{Fn|1}} ==See also==*[[Forgeband]]*[[Prospect]]*[[Harvest (Leagues of Votann)|Harvest]]*[[Brotherhood (Squats)]]
