Swordsmen

Faction: Firstborn

The Retinues of the One King are made up of both highly motivated soldiers as well as capable warriors. The Swordsmen warbands are one example of this. Trained to wield heavy blades in combat, the Swordsmen are the epitome of Firstborn chivalry. Trained for one year before being assigned to a warband, the Swordsman is thoroughly trained to function in a unit, to defend themselves and each other. It is often said that the Swordsmen of the Firstborn are like a many headed dragon, always alert and always dangerous.

Bedecked in the colors of their units, the Swordsmen are as brilliant to observe on the battlefield as they are dangerous to fight against. Often accompanied by Greatswordsmen, the Sword Legions (as they are referred to within the kingdom), have never forgotten the life they had before the return of the One King and chant his praises before every battle in the event that this is their last chance to serve their liege lord.
