Journal

The hoplites of Emberwood named themselves after Saradomin’s forces in the holy scripture. The legendary hoplites were warriors on the world of Hallow, who were trained from farmers and artisans, rather than military families or nobility, and the Emberwood hoplites came from similar stock.

They were best known for their fighting style using spears and shields, with the shield being the defining feature. These shields were designed to be worn for longer periods of time, resting against the shoulder for more comfortable carrying.

The hoplites may have been raised from peasant stock, but their camaraderie made them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

As the withering took them, the hoplites retained the rote memory of their training and remained a deadly threat to all who faced them.
