Marcher Adventurers (innovation)
Chevalie is a land of war. Take a ride through any Marcher village and you'll be quick to spot a Waypriest of Swords sparring with a small army of youths. Turn West to Gisreddeport where young graduates of those Waypriests eagerly board flag-laden vessels sailing to explore the world under a thousand sellsword companies. Though her borders may not expand, Chevalie's children have won enough victories to conquer the world twice over.
"Like rats, Marchers somehow manage to worm their way into every crevice of the Empire - I warn you sister, once they've arrived and caught the scent of coin, you'll never be free of them."
~ Magi-Archeologist Magister Nyctinaius, personal letter to the Mayikrata
