Kwadoz Dugunthiz

(Proven Kwadoz Spearmen)

These proven spearmen from the Kwadoz tribe are renowned and well-trained, although poor and less-well equipped than those of other tribes. They use heavy spears, not metal-tipped, more to block the enemy, than to attack them. They rely upon their iron-tipped javelins. Their reputation comes from their open-battle abilities, using similar tactics to the Celts, rather than the guerrilla warfare common to most Germanic peoples.

Whereas German tribes often fought in a more ordered, organised manner than the Celts, they sometimes adopted their neighbours’ weapons and equipment, either through battle or trade. Celtic armour found its way onto the backs of privileged German warriors, while double-edged longswords were another example of creeping Celtic influence. An iron sword was a prestigious possession, so those who carried them were either of noble blood or were veteran followers. By following a noble, warriors were duty-bound to show dedication and valour. If he fell in combat, the noble’s men were expected to fight to the death. Anyone who survived such a battle was disgraced. Some hanged themselves, unable to live with the shame and dishonour of outliving their battle-lord.
