Kragvost - Military

Kragvost

Ground Forces: 150,000-200,000. Beserkers, raiders, brawlers and skirmishers make up the bulk of the military forces of Kragvost. Ranged units tend to use thrown weapons, and magic users are ritualistic shamans. Each tribe has its own specialties as far as weapons, skills and fighting methods, however they are as likely to be fighting each other as any other nation. Join operations occur, but usually only when demanded by the reigning Warlord, or in defensive actions, though some tribes have a history of occasional cooperation.

Air Forces: None.

Medium Vessels (30-50 Crew) - Murkreef Class Longship - A lumbering tub of ship, large square sales and rows of oars propel it through the water at slow speeds unless both can be used simultaneously.
