Dwarf-At-Arms

Summary

While anyone can pick up a weapon and fight, through hard-won skills Dwarf-At-Arms are the unchallenged experts of martial combat; soldiers, bodyguards, mercenaries, and wandering warriors.

Most are oath-bound to protect their charges, be it their leader, company, or whole Outpost.

Weapons / Proficiencies

The more experienced Dwarf-At-Arms will tend to specialize in a specific weapon. While each specialist claims superiority, the Hammerer, Axedwarf, or Swordsdwarf each have techniques of their own that make them all certain forces of destruction on the battlefield.

Dwarves-At-Arms In-Game

Most outposts, towns, and settlements will usually have their own Molir, which is a militia or standing military. Many DAA's become steadfast parts of their town's Molir.

Generally speaking, Dwarves-At-Arms are protectors and are focused on guarding and defense, whether for a single Dwarf or an entire Outpost.
