Standard Bearer
Creature 4 — human, humanoid
MenderAnvilLAND
Within a troop, the standard bearer is a beacon of morale, cohesion, and camaraderie. They proudly wave the flag of the entity they fight for. Whether they lead the spearhead or provide support from the back lines, their presence alone is usually enough to rally the soldiers around them to continue fighting. A military serves to defend and fight on behalf of nations and can be trained and deployed in various ways.
