The savage continent of Tarakona, where draconic races battle for supremacy!
What the lizardling empire lacks in creativity it makes up for in training. Its troopers train with long glaives for month after month until they can handle them as though born to them, despite the weapon’s large size. This gives the troopers up to a 10-foot reach on the battlefield.
Troopers also train in a powerful unit charge, where they move forward as a group and deal significant damage. This is important, as a single strike from a more powerful foe can take out an individual Trooper.
Troopers always remain organized into a unit under a Commander (statted out separately), who strides into combat and calls orders back to its unit. Each Trooper considers itself a member of its unit, even if it’s the only surviving member.
