Sisterhood Infantry belong to monasteries of many religious orders all over the countryside of Basilea.

About

Many of these convents, for reasons known only to themselves, are exclusively female. Staying off the beaten track to avoid the iron rule of the Hegemon, these sisters in arms are pledged to the Shining Ones and thus the defence of Basilea as a whole.

This remoteness of their existence means that they must rely on themselves for their defence, and the sisters spend as much time training their bodies as their souls. The sisterhood will often lend their defenders to nearby garrisons in times of need. Most of the orders eschew armour for speed and act as skirmishers, light cavalry, scouts and infiltrators.

Their preferred weapons are heavy flails and a curved variant of the Koliskos known as a glaive. It is rare for members of the sisterhood to remain at war for prolonged periods. Most fight out of necessity or duty but return to their peaceful existence shortly thereafter.The few that do fight continuously are elite warriors. They are highly prized for their skills and experience within the convents of the sisterhood and can commonly be found training the newest acolytes on the front lines.

1st Edition

Unlike the Paladins, the warriors known as the Sisterhood did not emerge from a single source. The monasteries of many religious orders are in remote places, and those of Basilea’s nuns are no different – in fact more nunneries are situated off the beaten track, so as to avoid the domination of their affairs by men. Looking to their own defence, many nunneries and priories employ mercenaries, preferably non-humans, to guard them from the evils of the world as they pray and minister to the population. But a sizeable number of sisterhoods have taken to training a portion of their own in the martial arts.

2nd Edition

The convents of the Word are scattered across the countryside of Basilea, their nature obliging them to isolation. This remoteness means they must rely on themselves for their defence, and the Sisters spend as much time training their bodies as their soul. The Sisterhood will often lend their elite light infantry to nearby garrisons in times of need.
