The Ohtar`Akh, Elven Soldier

Of all the Races of Otara, none possess the grace, cunning, and deadly accuracy of the nimble Elves. The enchanted Cities of Aerithaene are legendary, and their collective feats, amassed over centuries-long lifetimes, are unparalleled. Within these Cities live some of the deadliest warriors ever known, the Elven Soldier. It has been said that "a Soldier is a Soldier is a Soldier" and in many respects that is true, however, combining supreme skill-at-arms, amazing dexterity and commitment of purpose with expertly fashioned wargear and tactics, the Elven soldier stands easily above the rest. They are armed with long, curved swords, tall shields and mighty bows (most of which enchanted), making the soldiers of the Woodland Realms a most formidable force.

Unnumbered years of training, innate Elven grace, and the keen sight of immortals make them deadly warriors. They are exemplified by speed, stealth, range, and damage dispensing capabilities. Elven Soldiers are not only trained to use the leaf-shaped shield as a defensive item but also as an offensive weapon to counter-attack. They have knowledge in the use of all weapons both hand-to-hand and ranged, and may wear any type of armour (often of magical nature). In battle, Elven Soldiers are graceful and deadly experts, often employing a superior strike-and-dodge technique of combat. Coming from a strong warrior tradition, albeit one that is usually more refined than most, Soldiers tend to wield elegant, graceful weapons (such as scimitars, rapiers, katanas, daggers, spears, and especially longbows) instead of large crushing weapons. On a wider scale, expect an elven fighting force to utilise mobility and stealth over brute force, with lots of magical backup. The Elven army is more skilled and disciplined than any other that march the lands of Otara. Fierce and brave, these Soldiers charge headlong into battle, seemingly oblivious to the dangers ahead. To outsiders, such fearlessness appears antithetical to disciplined tactics, but in truth the leaders of the Elven forces execute complex strategies honed from centuries of knowledge and experience.

The Elven soldiers value music for more than its beauty. It offers them a spiritual connection to the earth and one another. In battle, the Elven Battle Musisians (nick named Starlings) have the unique ability to use music as a tool to strengthen or clear the minds of soldiers, or relay instructions for units to perform specific tactics. A Tactical Starling is prepared to march at the front of the army’s lines. They are equipped with a much higher defensive armour than their brothers in arms, and their bravery inspires their units to fight all the harder.

The Starlings are not the only units dedicated to upholding the traditions of the Elves. The Elven standard bearers, the Heralds, know that the banners they carry into battle are not only a threat to their enemies, but a promise to the forces they lead. Their faith and their vow to never forget the Path that they tread unites the Elven armies so they may stand against any foe. A Warsong Herald aides their allies on the battlefield by bolstering morale and feeding into the battle frenzy with rousing songs and chants.

Elven Army And Ranks

• Light Infantry Militia (Qa`Akl): The Elves employ various branches of infantry within their ranks. Chief among them are their Light Infantry. Best used to harass an enemy's weaker troops, Light Elven Infantry consist of Elves drawn from all corners of the common populace. Like most of their kind, these Elves have received a decent amount of training in sword play, and now, mustered together as a single unit, they can test their mettle in combat, working together as a swift and agile melee unit. Each is equipped with an Elven Sword or Glaive, Helm, Shield, and Light Plate Armour. These courageous Elves will charge to the front of any fight with a song on their lips and a fury in their hearts.

  • Ja`Kiird (Legion): 2 Ja`Noresh lead by a Qa`Akl`Te`Aranthi.
  • Spearmen/Glaivemen: Taking their lessons from great battles of the past that changed the face of Otara, Elves know what it means to "hold the line." This proud legacy lives on in the ranks of Elven Spearmen/Glaivemen. Elven mail, reinforced by fine leather to cushion the blow, behind a sturdy leaf-shaped shield provides premium protection. On the offensive side, the almost 3 metres long razor sharp spear or Glaive with a slightly curved blade, suitable for slashing as well as thrusting, warns most enemies to keep their distance or perish. All this coupled with the Elves' determination to stand against the darkness makes the Elven Spear Wall one of, if not the most formidable battle line in all of Otara.

Only a fool would dismiss these archers and their elven short bows as a non-factor on the battlefield. As every elven life is precious, these light troops are kept in supporting positions unexposed to cavalry or heavy infantry assaults.

These soldiers are the living proof that their fierce passion for life and beauty endures. It is said that Heavy Archers are the Rain of Death that precedes the Whirlwind unleashed by their sword wielding comrades. With keen eyes, ages worth of experience, and arrows capable of piercing dragon scales, Heavy bowmen can decimate the ranks of their foes before the battle is even properly joined. Despite their supporting role in the army, battlefields are littered with corpses of enemies who foolishly believed that getting into melee range of these warriors would provide them with sufficient advantage.

The Elves have a very well organized military with a strict set of codes and regulations. The Military of the entire Kingdom is composed of a standing Army of professional Soldier, nearly 1000000 strong which forms approximately 40% of the entire army. The Remaining 60% is built up of militia. It goes against Elven philosophy to require someone to fight against their will, so for this reason it has remained on a volunteer basis. There are no Elven Drafts. There are always a number of young males and females available that want to prove their skills as warriors, some because they don't know how else to help out their people, some to continue a long family or clan tradition of military men, and some as a matter of honour for one reason or another. Regardless of personal reasons, all volunteers are welcomed, trained, and stationed where their level of skill can be of most use.

With so many volunteering to be soldiers it would typically leave a void in the place of other positions such as healers, blacksmiths, farmers, and so forth. For this reason, the Militia Soldiers only serve for short periods of time, usually during seasons when their craft is least required, and then rotate as not to affect the production of the community, with only career military serving all year long. Then, when a threat arises, all the volunteers can be called into action for a large and unified force. This allows the Kingdom to have a large and well trained military force without affecting their economy too severely.
