The Embattled Realms - Brothers Of The Blade standard bearers

[The Tactical Tabletop]

These are standard bearers for The Brothers Of The Blade, one of several of The Martial Guilds in The Embattled Realms. Dedicated to the mastery of warrior skills, these organizations provide masterfully trained and exquisitely equipped soldiers to the many conflicts in the region. Sometimes it is as individual fighters, others as complete units, and, on occasion, in the form of entire armies pursuing the respective guild’s objectives.

The standard bearers for these units are generally selected from the older and more experienced members of each guild, ensuring the highly-valued banners they carry are well protected and that unit leaders, often younger and perhaps more impetuous members, have a steady and seasoned veteran ready to provide guidance and counsel.
