These elite light infantry are the epitome of the Epirote military, fast, armored, and deadly.

Fast, lightly armed skirmishers capable of harassing the enemy before committing to a powerful charge. Though their tribe’s glory has long since faded, these elite fighter are eager to show the world why the Chaonid line dominated the region for generations.
