Militia

Many parts of the Empire have to deal with the perpetual threat of devanu raids on travellers and outlying villages. The Empire’s knights do their best to deter these attacks but most clans maintain a strong militia to support the defence. While not as well trained as the knights, the members of the militia are usually quite well equipped, and are willing to put their lives at risk to provide the much needed defence against the devanu. The militia are led by very capable captains, some of whom have served as knights but have now retired.
