It is quite rare for there to be a standing military force in the Old World, since most nations depend on their militia and nobility, backed up with mercenary help when required. However, during any lengthy war, most countries will develop and employ professional fighting men. Soldiers excercise a degree of power beyond their individual prowess, for although they are at the command officers and lords, it is their skill upon the field of battle that becomes the crucial factor in the survival of each Kingdom during prolonged strife. Once independent, many turn their back on the harsh army life and turn to a life of adventuring in the hope of greater reward.
