Soldier

Soldiers are the horses who make up the majority of the Vindicators, a Vagabond faction devoted to bringing order and equality to Hireath.
== Overview ==
Soldiers are the most numerous rank among the Vindicators - a role given to anyone whose primary function in the group is to aid in the fight. Soldiers can be skilled combatants or specialists, but are most often "jack of all trades" horses, putting their many skills to use in the field on Vindicator missions.
On missions and raids, Soldiers carry out the majority of the work (combat or otherwise), following plans set down by the Paladin to secure success. Despite having such small numbers, the Soldiers' dedicated training allows them to be extremely effective in the field, but their job is still an extremely dangerous one.
As the Vindicators are a small faction, the Soldier’s job does not end at the battlefield. When back at home base, they will aid their faction with many smaller non-specialized tasks, such as cleaning, harvesting food, maintaining the base or gathering supplies from the wild. 
Some individuals among Soldiers are sometimes called Specialists - people with specialized combat knowledge, such as scouts or explosives experts. These more specialized fighters are not superior to the others but may receive special responsibilities on missions depending on their skillset.
Although there is no real hierarchy among the Vindicators, Soldiers will generally pick a leader among their number for any given mission, big or small, to avoid miscommunication.
