Marcher Adventurers (innovation)
Chevalie is a land of war. It may not look it at first glance, with the true horrors of the north shielded from the faint of heart by the Bastione Mountains, but this is the truth of the matter no matter how verdant its fields and hospitable its people. Take a ride through any Marcher village and you'll be quick to spot a Waypriest of Swords running sparring exercises with a small squadron of adolescents. Turn West to Gisreddeport and you'll see the young graduates of those Waypriests eagerly chattering among themselves, boarding vessels bearing a riot of flags and pennants setting sail to explore the world under the banners of a thousand different sellsword companies. Though her borders may not be expanding, Chevalie's adventurous children have won enough victories to conquer every nation in the known world twice over.
