Fear their leaders more than their faceless enemies . Guard the standard as if it were
one?s life .A source of pride to be defended. In all manner of weather or even in
peace
the play of battle fills the gap of idleness.
Hardened muscles are not to grow soft and feeble.
Barbaric tribes of east and west. Threats to outer reaches of reign. There our
garrisons cannot rest their tools . Craggy mountains and treacherous forests are
home to nomadic tribes which live to hunt and plunder , wild like their wilderness
dwellings.
They have neither patience nor skill to cultivate the land. They are not of that ilk.
Cities and orderliness are strange to them. They are curiosities amongst us .We are
game in their company.
They see our numbers and strength .They do not venture forth . An uneasy peace
simply broken by the party which is the first to charge , cry out and first to snatch
their arms out of their housing .
