You’re soldiers; do I have to be a good fighter to join?

No, but great if you are. The highlight of Renewal is the Battle. Unlike other groups we fight as unit. This means you don’t need to be a sword master to survive as you are not there to go one on one; you’re there to support your Company comrades. The men and women of the heavy infantry are at the front, with sword and shield and lots of armour. Our skirmishers are on our flanks stopping the enemy getting round behind us and our magical and medical support are in our centre with our Banner. Stick together and you will survive.

If fighting really isn’t your thing, the Company has room for medical and magical specialists. However, we do encourage you to play Heavy Infantry if you can.
