Task 1 Avalonia: The troops of Everwater

I am happy to present to you the troops of Everwater as Avalonia Task 1.

The county of Everwater has a small but well trained army. The troops are devided into five categories, each with their distinct specialisations and tasks in and around Everwater. Since Everwater is located at the northern coast of Avalonia, all infantry troops are trained to fight on land, as well as on a deck of a ship.

Left to right:

1. Cavalry

Like any good Avalonian army, Everwater has a cavalry division. Although not as heavily armed as their counterparts in other realms, these light cavalry have proven to be a strategic advantage in the Everwater backcountry. Equipped with a lance, shortsword and shield, they can cut through enemy formations. 

 2. Heavy Infantry

The heavy Infantry are the special forces of the Everwater troops. They undergo the toughest training and are selected for special missions. Despite their heavy chainmail, they are quick on their feet. Equipped with sword and axe, they can handle anything and any situation.

 3. Light Infantry

The light infantry is the heart of the Everwater troops and by far the largest division of the army. Besides being a large part of the troops they also form the city guards of Everwater. Equipped with a spear, sword and shield they are common soldiers.

 4. Crossbowmen

The light infantry that forms the main division of the troops and the city guards is accompanied by a division of crossbowmen. They are also at the heart of the Everwater troops and are part of the city guards as well. Everwater is known for ther crossbowmen, who are accurate not only on land, but also on a moving deck of a ship.

 5. Rangers

The ranger division is a small group of the troops of Everwater. They are typically equipped with a bow or sword and sometimes trained as medics. Nobody knows the forests of Everwater better than they do and their tracking skills are legendary.

 

In times of need Everwater selects their best soldiers among their troops and forms special units, known for their abilites. In recent years this group has consisted of Sam Weatherstone (heavy infantry) and his close friends Eric Uliah (heavy infantry), Mal Berenthal (ranger), Alric Ellerion (light infantry) and Alera Berenthal (ranger). For a further read about them see (Everwater [Avalonia]).
