Rank 1 - Foot Soldier

Many Foot Soldiers are conscripts. Others fight for the honor of their king and country, and still others for the steady paycheck. Regardless of your reason for joining the military, the food was usually warm and the tents kept you dry during the long nights. Your time in the military has taught you the value of the regimented early mornings and working yourself to exhaustion.

Holdings:
At tent to sleep in and free food when in an encampment of your military.
A letter from a fallen enemy messenger that you either killed or found.

Progression:
Distinguish yourself. Bring vital information about an enemy encampment or movement that will help win a battle or prevent defeat. Or perform exceptionally well in battle, turning the tide or capturing an enemy banner.
FEATURE: MILITARY RANK
You have a military rank from your career as a soldier. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other soldiers and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized.
