This army page represents only bare bones information, and will be expanded with more details in the future.
Overview
Initially raised from the people of Bregasland, there is still a strong territorial bias in the soldiers of this army. The Strong Reeds is notorious for the dour, stubborn nature of the soldiers who serve under its banner. The Strong Reeds have a long history of resisting Jotun aggression against the marshes, and have several times in their history fought alongside the Wintermark armies in Kallavesa. In recent years they have embraced much older, secretive stratagems, relying on skills honed by years in the fens to perfect the art of scattering into a territory and lay low in appropriate territory.
The second Marcher General leads the Strong Reeds army, and is appointed (or re-appointed) at the Winter solstice each year.
