Title: The Chosen

Number:

148 Slingers, Javelin Throwers, Bowmen, and Crossbowmen. (Carrusian Skirmishers)

250 Heavy Infantry (Carrusian Guard Infantry)

100 Engineers (Carrusian Siege Engineers)

Specialization: The Chosen are a new unit comprised of Aurelion's most trusted men. The Skirmishers were brought up as a levy of volunteers from the untamed highlands. The Heavy Infantry, drawn from the most experienced of his guard. The Engineers, drawn the smartest of the dwarves.

Description:

The Skirmishers are an assortment of different races. They're all equipped differently and bring to bear different missiles to hurl at their enemy. Half-elf slingers, Human javelin throwers, Dwarven Crossbowmen, Elvish longbows - they're all here to bear arms as volunteers for their people. All who have applied for this honor were tested by Aurelion and his chief officers.

The Heavy Infantry are drawn from the core of Carrus's guard. They're men who are drawn from the best of the rank and file to become royal guards, and further whittled down to the best the royal guard could offer. Aurelion himself handpicked each man from the 2000 Royal Guardsmen. Half-elf, human, and elvish men were chosen for this task.

The engineers are drawn from the dwarves best men. They are not only good fighters in close combat, but are excellent workers that can make a camp for five hundred men in less than three hours. The dwarves themselves make up the backline of the Aurelion's formation. They are there to fallback to when the core troops require assistance.


History: The Chosen are a relatively new formation. However, many of the rank and file have served with both Aurelion I and Aurelion II in many campaigns to secure the Republic's grip on their island. Many of these men even accompanied Aurelion II on his campaign to make an example of the mainlanders and are grizzled veterans as a result.

Country: The Kingdom of Carrus is an island nation that conquered the South Western continent. After many years of fighting and in-fighting, the Kingdom gradually became stable and isolationist. They feared that outside intervention could bring back the years of instability and as a result were actively hostile against outsiders. This did not mean that Carrus was against trade. It had a number of open ports, however, foreigners were treated with much caution.

Carrus eventually opened its doors after news of the darkness from their tradesmen reached the capital. It was decided by Aurelion II that he as an old king would march against this new threat and open its doors to foreigners for the first time in centuries. He would leave his son Aurelion III to watch over Carrus in his stead and appoint him King of Carrus.
