Marcomanni (Empire Divided) Faction
Marcomanni (Empire Divided) Battle Tier 6
Embrace Mother Night
The darkness is a powerful ally.According to Tacitus, the Harii were a tribe of savage warriors who preferred fighting at night. They would paint their bodies and shields black so that they blended into the darkness, then attack as an army of shadows. The Harii relied on the terror they instilled in their enemies, causing all but the most seasoned warriors to freeze in fear or run away screaming. It is believed that this tribe is the origin of the mythic 'einherjar' (literally 'one-time fighters'), ghostly Nordic warriors in the service of Odin. Other Germanic tribes likely adopted night raids as standard practice, as they were devastatingly effective at surprising and sacking smaller settlements and garrisons.
