Myrmidon

In the culture of the Drowish, a Myrmidon is a term for 'loyal follower'-a man at arms who serves proudly. It's more particularly a signifier of one who is extraordinarily skilled in sword fighting.

Fighting Style
They carry no shield, and wear only light armor. Their choice of weapon is similar to the Katana, designed for flowing and slashing strokes, and elaborate parries-rather than crude jabs and shunts. A Myrmidon moves with lightning speed and reflexes.

Attitudes
A Myrmidon enjoys martial combat against single foes in particular - all the better to best them. They are, mostly, young and reckless foolhards who live hard, die quickly and leave a room full of corpses as they go. Only the best among them survive very long at all.

Legends
The most experienced Myrmidon are said to be capable of impossible feats, like cutting arrows in flight from the very air. Their swords, too, become famous - they are not throwaway weapons, and have names of their own. Some are even said to gain a measure of thought, and are able to speak back to their owners... But Myrmidons live as much by tall tales as they do by their skills.
