Cemmeinarn
(Marching Ones)

Cemmeinarn (Kem-ay-nayrn) are the mainstay of most midlander armies. They carry spears to be thrown before a charge, and engage in melee with well-made longspears. Except for a good shield they are not armoured, but are nevertheless capable in battle. Appropriately supported by skirmishers, they can be quite useful in engaging most threats, though they are incapable of lasting against truly heavy infantry. However, the Cemmeinarn can thwart a frontal attack if they stand together; their shields provide them good defense from the front, but from the flanks or rear, the Cemmeinarn are incapable of defending themselves well and will likely be slaughtered. The Cemmeinarn are only semi-professional warriors, and only the most experienced will readily hold together under the weight of a strong charge.

Catuiros Vellos Lancia
(Chosen Spearmen)

Chainmail does not chill a warrior's heart, or still his lust for battle.

Lugoae
(Levy Troops)

During periods of strife and war, it is sometimes necessary to call upon ordinary citizens to organize as a militia. Militia in Celtic societies - known as the Lugoae - are farmers, craftsmen and fishermen, who are called to brief military service in periods of crisis. They may train a few times a year to fight and participate in games and sports to improve their physicality, but they're still only militia, and can only be trusted to do so much.

300 Uirodusios
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Bri_Uirodusios)
Uirodusios
(Naked Spearmen)

The Uirodusios (Oo-row-doo-see-os) fight in the ancient Celtic style, stripped nude but for a torc, anklets, bangles, and sometimes a cloak. Though poorly armoured, not nearly as skilled as the Gaesatae mercenaries of Gaul, and not on drugs, they are still formidable and present a frightening visage that unnerves enemies. They Uirodusios should not be considered as elite, for they are often inexperienced warriors, though they do wish to acquire prestige and recognition through daring acts of bravery.

200 Drwdae

Drwdae
(Britannic Druids)

The Drwdae (Droo-day) are not typically warriors; however, there are British warrior-druids. War is considered a fine profession, and even the best educated members of society sometimes engage in it. These particular Drwdae are warriors however, akin in many ways to the Carnutes of Gaul, insofar as they train a great deal and have the duty of protecting sacred places. They are extremely well motivated, disturbing to enemies, and inspiring to allies. Still, they are too few in number to fight alone and must be supported by others if they are to be effective on the battlefield.
