Boar's Tusk

The Boar's Tusk is a military unit within the Commonwealth of Lorenthal, reformed after the events of the Lorenthalian Civil War and dedicated to filling the role of shock troops. Men of the Boar's Tusk are fierce warriors eager to prove themselves as brave and worthy of both their Gods and their people. They are armored and equipped in such a way as to negate the brutal effectiveness of spear walls, heavy armor and long reaching blades allowing them to break apart enemy formations. They are often the first to charge into battle, disorganizing their foes while Lorenthalian longbowmen fire from afar to take advantage of the chaos. It is only the brave that join the Boar's Tusk, and since the establishment of the Commonwealth they have seen a greater focus on the religious aspects of their order as well as more willing recruits to serve. They have fought in most major engagements in Lorenthal's storied history, making them both a veteran force and one constantly in need of new blood and leadership. Commanders that lead from the front may be considered brave, but when rushing headlong into spears do not last long.
