Alveran Military

Alveran Military – Elite Units
The Alveran military is based around a number of elite units that are supplemented by a number of “regular” regiments plus conscripted militia. In general, King Alvera tries to minimise the use of militia believing that their heavy casualty rate is counterproductive to the kingdom. Since the Elven invasion, the Kingdoms coffers have been funding an extensive expansion of the “regular” units, will some engagement of speciality mercenary companies.
