kozark

The rank and file of the Caussulkite military, they are somewhat more elite than one would expect from the rankers.

Similar in training to say, the riders of Atlan. They can shoot rifles and pistols from horseback, and reload at a gallop, while knowing the strategies and merits of more melee focused cavalry tactics.

Their favored weapons are pistols on horseback, accompanied by saber and lance, and a short carbine on the ground, accompanied by their own style of thrusting dagger, similar to the short blade of Laidrian tradition.

Each soldiers weapons are incredible personal, with the handles and blades all being laboriously carved and decorated over time. To disarm the kozark is to pull out their heart, and will always be resented no matter the reasoning.
