The main fighting force of the Kindi is light bowmen, easily concealed in the dense forests. They do have some elite cavalry made up of village heroes and great warriors however, which accompanies their chieftain into battle. There are a few regiments of shock cavalry, who wield very long lances and charge headlong into battle. There are about a dozen infantry regiments, armed with spears and lamellar armour. These are quite elite, and are only ever called upon in more than three regiments in times of rare need. One regiment consists of 250 men, and all of the adult population are able to be conscripted and added to the ranks of the bowmen. The cavalry are the only units that are professional, the heavy infantry are trained from birth to be the best there is and to protect their leader. If their leader dies, they have failed in their job to protect him and as such are exiled from the lands of the Kindi. This goes for their captain in field battles, or their elder when defending the villages. Even the regular people are well trained, for they have had so long to do so and it is mandatory anyway. They are a truly formidable force, and even more so dense forest or cover of a similar sort.
