Warowinoi

(Elite Medium Swordsmen)

This unit is comprised of a small number of well-armed men bound to war and the leaders of great renown that command them. Into battle the Warowinoi wear the common garb; leather shoes, belt, a drab wool shirt and trousers. For protection they use a leather hooded-shoulder cape, a leather tunic, and a large leather-covered oval or subrectangular planked-wood shield. A few might sport a thick leather skull cap, whilst most are proud to cover their heads with nothing but too-long wildly unkempt hair.

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.
