The Dawnbringer Crusades sweeping out from the Free Cities recruit from vagabonds, militia, fanatics, and plain ol’ regular folk, each of whom has taken the Coin Malleus and pledged to reclaim the Mortal Realms from the forces of Chaos.
Those who trudge out into the relentless hostility of the despoiled lands are destined to face rampaging Ironjawz and roving warbands of Chaos Warriors that would test the willpower of even the most experienced warrior. Fortunately, steel-nerved Freeguild Marshals are on hand to inspire discipline and issue stern commands.
The finest officers amongst the Dawnbringer Crusades are all trained by the military academies of their respectives cities, but few have hit the books as hard as Freeguild Marshals. Each is a master tactician and a veteran combatant, and they bring these hard-won lessons to bear on the battlefield.
The Relic Envoys who accompany these commanders are hand-picked from the finest squires of the next generation of soldiers. These brave attendants risk their lives to run orders through the heat of combat, bringing their Marshal’s will directly to the front lines.
They also tend to carry some artefact or relic from their family line – particularly morbid mementos may even be blessed with death rites, allowing the mummified heads of revered relatives to whisper advice (or embarrassing anecdotes) from beyond the grave.
Freeguild Marshals and their Relic Envoys are just one aspect of the command structure that leads the Cities of Sigmar into battle.
