Warriors (clique)
The warriors are the core of the realm's combat abilities, with a membership ranging from generals and commanders to career soldiers and commonly-employed mercenaries. Not necessarily in favor of constant warfare, they generally hold that their services are necessary for the realm, and that funding and resources should be devoted to armed conflict. Their strength resides in the loyal forces they can draw upon, which they might not shy away from using to strongarm their opposition if the need arises. Any moves that strengthen their hold on power, such as conquest, levying, and increased pay, will have their eager support.
