Born the son of Elven traders, and having grown up in Tilea, Palindor was well accustomed to the traditions of the land. As a young elf he joined the Fighters Guild of Remas. He soon rose through the ranks of the Guild and became their best swordfighter. Upon the passing of the old Guildmaster, Palindor was given the position.
He eventually married Idril, an Elven Mage who worked as a healer in Remas. They had two children together, their firstborn was a son they named Lólindir who soon became a great, albeit somewhat reckless, warrior. Their second was a girl whom they named Inwë. More alike her mother than her father, Inwë showed signs of magic capabilities at a young age.
One day, as Idril was collecting herbs in the forest outside of Remas, she and her guards were ambushed by Goblins and killed. Palindor immediately felt her demise, as if something inside him had died. Guided by an unknown force, he traveled to the place of her death. When he saw her dead body, he became mad with rage. After her burial, he and his children, along with the Elven fighters of the Guild, left Remas to embark on the path of the Mercenary, hoping to one day get revenge for the death of Idril.
They called themselves “the Praetorians”, meaning to uphold order in the world and push back evil wherever it be found. As the regiment became more famous across the Old World more Elves begun to join its ranks, inspired by Palindor’s tragic fate. They are an elite unit on the battlefield, thinning down the enemy’s ranks before finishing them off with their glaives.
For Hire: Palindor’s Praetorians may be hired by The Empire, High Elves, Wood Elves and Lizardmen, and they count as a Rare choice. Dogs of War armies may choose Palindor’s Praetorians as a Special choice.
Points: Palindor, Lólindir, Inwë and seven Preatorians cost a total of 300 points including Standard Bearer and Musician. This is the minimum size of unit you can hire. The regiment may be enlarged by adding extra models at a cost of +11 points each.
