Book content

...Nistrian warfare is a rather curious discipline. No one else employs such an eclectic combination of antique traditions and modern innovations, all seasoned with a good dash of magic. We don't usually mix these things in Aldor: there are noble knights, lowborn archers, and mages - I suppose the latter can be considered a separate estate in their own right.

But take aegemons, for instance, the elite guardsmen protecting His Highness the Great Despot. Only the best of the best can join their ranks, as aegemon recruits are trained not only in melee combat but magic as well. More often than not, it's geomancy - a school of sorcery that Nistrians have the most familiarity with, and which is exceptionally useful to a warrior.

Their weapon of choice is a heavy polehammer that they wield with utmost agility, capable of brilliantly performing a variety of strikes. On one occasion, I actually happened to observe a sparring between two aegemons - and I've got to say, it was a spectacle to remember!
