The Old World: Grim and Perilous

Soldier
Officer
Officers are trained leaders who command the troops of the Old World. While
much depends on the training and morale of soldiers, often the right or wrong orders
from their commanders will determine the success of a campaign. Therefore,
a great responsibility rests on the shoulders of the officers.
Although sometimes veteran soldiers become officers, they are usually representatives
of the petty nobility or richer bourgeoisie - apart from the priestly service, it is
one of the few opportunities for them to join the ranks of the elite.
