Iron Wolves
Specialized Khazgrul forces who operate behind enemy lines to destabilize and confuse enemies of the empire.
Composition
Manpower
Iron Wolves are few and far between, their tactics often seen as without honor. the number of Iron Wolves is a closely guarded secret of the Khazgrul not even known to the Caahin.
Equipment
Iron Wolves are crafted from lighter materials, such as mithril or even wood to allow them to move faster and more silently. requiring no sustenance or sleep Iron Wolves carry nothing that cannot be concealed inside of their framework.
Weaponry
Iron Wolves typically fight with daggers and short swords, crafting bows, spears, and other tools and weapons from the environment they may need later. Iron Wolves each carry a rune of fireball deep in their chest to prevent capture, the blast magnified greatly by their mystrium cores.
Vehicles
Iron Wolves typically will travel by wagon in disguise, or tunnel their way towards their destination.
Structure
the Khazgrul train Iron Wolves with the intention of sending them into dangerous areas where communication with regular command structures are not always available. as such every Iron Wolf understands how to complete the necessary tasks to complete their missions. if all but one Iron Wolf is destroyed that Khazgrul will do everything in their power to complete their task.
Tactics
Iron Wolves will often attack by ambush, with many layered traps to trick enemies into fighting themselves by accident or wasting resources on bombarding an area that was only rigged with crossbows. disorienting the enemy while another Iron Wolf destroys as many supplies, assassinate officers, or steals information.
Training
as a Khazgrul Iron Wolf initiates are already revered war veterans, but they receive further specialized training in stealth ambush tactics. the method of training is not known, there are rumors that elves and even dark elves are involved as well as goblins.
History
The first hint at Iron Wolves being used was during the Khoven Wars, when a number of Khazgrul were caught deep inside of Khoven lands sending misinformation using the seal of an assassinated official. when confronted these Mechan fled in different directions, some into caves others into the woods. the only one that was caught destroyed itself in a fiery explosion. the Khoven spent months attempting to weed out these infiltrators, drawing attention and forces away from the front lines all the while suffering increasing losses on their home front. because of the nature of the Iron Wolves their deeds are no recorded, and most information involving them is often considered a rumor. more recently however the Caahin have grown suspicious of the Iron Wolves claiming that they act as spies on the church and the empire for the Khazgrul. while the Khazgrul deny the Iron Wolves existence, and offer little else to say on the matter.
