Valian Military

Silith Istil is a relatively small country with a comparatively small military to match, active duty soldiers only number around 40,000 men and women, with an additional 100,000 ''citizens in reserve. Because of this, the Valian Military is geared for defense and lacks the numbers to extend their reach very far. However, despite their small numbers, troops in the Valian army receive the very best in both training and gear. Silith Istil's vast wealth means being able to equip their troops with some of the best arms and armor in Alden Rhun, with officers and more elite soldiers sporting enchanted weaponry. Outside the regular army, Silith Istil emphasizes the employment of specialists who are the best of the best at what they do, making attacking The Vale a frighteningly costly ambition.''·       Unit: Light Infantry

·       Number: 18,000

·       Weaponry: Masterwork Mithral Partisan, Mithral Shortsword

·       Armor: Masterwork Sallet, Chainmail, Coat-of-Plates, Mithral Heater-Shield

·       Average Age: (Human: 21 years) (Half-Elf: 63 years) (Elf: 250 years)

·       Role: ''The backbone and bulk of the Valian Army, these troops form the frontlines and are the first ones to engage the enemy in close-quarters. Unlike similar troops from other kingdoms who know only tight-formations and the most basic use of their equipment, Valian spearmen are potent and versatile combatants on and off the shield-wall. Instead of the pikes or longspears their counterparts favor, Valian spearmen use much more maneuverable polearms called Partisans that can both deliver a lethal cut and thrust. An uncommonly formidable common soldier...''

·       Unit: Archer

·       Number: 5,000

·       Weaponry: Masterwork Longbow, Shortsword

·       Armor: Masterwork Kettlehelm, Studded Leather suit

·       Average Age: (Human: 21 years) (Half-Elf: 63 years) (Elf: 250 years)

·       Role: ''From the towers, parapets, and ramparts, to the open fields and dense forests, Valian archers are the long arms of Silith Istil's military. Their numbers are too few to shower the enemy in arrows, instead Valian archers focus on efficiency as opposed to volume. When fighting begins, archers will shadow knots of more heavily armed troops to whittle away at the enemy with focused pinpoint accuracy. Not especially impressive on the open battlefield, but when using guerilla tactics or fending off a siege they are at the top of a list of worrisome factors.''
