Brytish Warriors | Version 1.17 ( 2006/04/16 ) |
| Bryteland |
The culture of Bryteland puts the warrior at the pinnacle of society. They protect, they lead, and they give gifts. In return they are shown respect and given carte blanche to do pretty much what they please.
The rank and file of Brytish infantry is normally equipped with one handed axes and shields, and wear light armour. The bettter equipped troops go for sword and shield, with a mail hauberk. The use of mail leggings is rare in Bryteland, since they favour mobility over protection.
Cavalry is rare, but is used on occasion. However, cavalry are used as hit and run troops, armed with spears or javelins, charging into throwing range, loosing off their spears, then charging back.
The following characters are typical of the Brytish warrior.
Human, age 25
A freeman farmer, who knows how to defend his home but is not a professional warrior.
