Jhoutigari Squire

The ValuSelu Pact military consists of rank and file troops, but behind those troops there are dozens of specialized units hailing from the Sazashi nations. These special units are what give the Pact Military an edge against other front line forces.

These special units, such as the Valdutani NarthuTigar'ri, are expensive in terms of not only resources, but experience. The Squire program came about to ensure that the Pact's unique units have good knowledge retention and reinforcement. The Jhoutigari rank of Squire is used for youth-oriented education programs and early career traininga.

Backstory Selection for a Squire

This section is for making your Ethnis Character which you can start here

Being brought up as a Jhoutigari Squire meant learning discipline and respect for those with more veterancy. It was a strict upbringing, intended to raise the best and brightest warriors.
