Chosen swordsmen are the best fighting individuals in their tribe, and armed with the finest swords available.
Overview
Chosen swordsmen are the best fighting individuals in their tribe, and armed with the finest swords available.
While superbly skilled and extremely tough, they are not naturally inclined to fight as a group. Personal glory and the need to be first amongst the enemy ensure that they are headstrong and ill-disciplined. They are, however, very well equipped with the finest swords that the smiths can make, along with chainmail armor and large shields. They are an intimidating sight for any enemy.
