Military of the Kingdom of Vasteras

The military of the Kingdom of Vasteras is a fearsome one, composed of vicious fighters thriving on a warrior culture. Though warriors and raiders largely operate autonomously or under the command of the nobles they serve, the King's call to war is considered sacred and to refuse it is a foul crime. Thus when the Vasteran King calls for war, legions of fierce warriors and mariners join forces with coherence and a desire for victory binding them together. Warriors of Vasteras typically wield axes or spears with large shields, donning boiled leather or chainmail shirts to offer protection in battle. Many also carry javelins or throwing axes to assist them in closing the gap during battle. Vasteran tactics are reliant upon powerful infantry and overwhelming the enemy to prevent cohesion. Vasteran warriors can form unbreakable shield walls or charge in a wedge to split apart enemy ranks, letting the battle devolve into the type of melee that they excel at. Vasteran warriors are surprisingly disciplined and know how to react to the war horns that sound their orders, leading to many swift attacks beginning before the enemy can even form battle lines.
