A Song of Ice & Fire

There are many mercenary companies in Westeros. Each one must find a way to stand out from the rest. The Bloody Mummers do this via garish outfits and makeup, along with wild antics.

House Tully has long been one of House Stark’s most stalwart allies. Now that the Direwolf has marched to war, every resource is being sent to field. That includes House Tully’s Cavaliers, their heavily armed and armored cavalry.

The Ranger Trackers are certainly not the hardest-hitting or most heavily-armored cavalry unit in Westeros, but they are some of the fastest and most agile. These swift hunters are able to get almost anywhere they need to be on the battlefield.

“The Mountain that Rides” Gregor Clegane is well-known for his brutal nature in combat. The units fielded by his house are similarly known for their ruthless conduct on the battlefield. Clegane’s Brigands are one such unit.

The sigil of House Harlaw is a silver scythe. The House Harlaw Reapers have taken that sigil and turned it into an actual weapon of war. Agricultural scythes make poor combat weapons

House Stark is known for its honor and integrity. As such, many have become allies of the great House that might be shunned or turned away, otherwise. In a world such as Westeros, it’s good to have friends.

The Dothraki Horse Lords have pledged to follow House Targaryen and their leader, Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, into Westeros so that she can reclaim the Iron Throne, as is her birthright. The Dothraki are unequalled masters in mounted combat.

House Stark is known for their stalwart nature and cautious preparation for when winter will come again. They are a proud and devoted house. However, with the death of Robert Baratheon and imprisonment of Ned Stark, the Direwolf has mobilized for war.

The Poor Fellows do not wear fancy armor. Their weapons are whatever was close by when they headed into combat. But enemy Commanders that discount their prowess in battle will soon find themselves overrun by fanatics.

In the far North, the brotherhood of the Night’s Watch keep an eye on any terrors that would assault Westeros. They are the unwanted. The lower sons, the criminals, the bastards, the outcasts. But in the Night’s Watch, they find a place and a purpose.

Some men just relish confrontation. They long to jump into the fray, scrapping with an enemy, seeing them beaten to a pulp. As the battle rages on, they get more and more into a frenzy. Wounds seem to not matter and actually drive their bloodlust further.

For most armies, the armor worn by the Baratheon Sentinels would count them as heavy infantry. But for House Baratheon, they only are classified as medium infantry.
