Men-at-Arms Spearmen are the rank and file soldiers of the famous Basilean Legion.

About

Whereas the bulk of the infantry of most human armies are made up of peasants pressed into military service under the feudal system, the Basilean Legion is one of the few professional armies in Pannithor.

So wealthy is the Hegemony, the soldiers of the Legion are clad in armour that even the nobility of some nations would envy. Blocks of infantry are normally armed with either the 'daga' sword or the broad-bladed 'koliskos' spear, accompanied by the distinctive winged shield of the Legion.

Whereas the paladin orders are under the control of the Hegemon himself, the democratically elected Basilean Duma exercises executive control over the men-at-arms of the Legion - accepting, of course, that the Hegemon retains the right to overrule the Duma's commands.
