Ember Sentinels

Summary
The sum military force of Gentaria, commanded by Vistra Bruicksture and headquartered in Cinder Keep on the western border of Gentaria.

History
In 5e 553, undead arose in the Gentarian capital of Caelenor and devastated the kindgom. Desperate to consolidate the people and preserve order, the King Elliot Marfont II ordered on no uncertain terms that any survivors evacuated to a selection of towns and settlements in the west. Many ignored his orders, received them too late, or were left behind. Many of these remnants persisted to form the People’s Army. King Marfont and his family did not survive the trip and were killed as their train of fellow refugees were overwhelmed in the night.

Linemen
The most numerous of the Ember Sentinels, linemen serve as the heavily-armored basic infantry of the army. Wielding specialized ranseur polearms and heavy tower shields to help push back tides of undead, these warriors exemplify the grit and determination required to fight on foot against undead. Their tactics typically involve two close rows against undead funneled into a specific area—the first row using the ranseur and shield to keep the undead at bay while the back row directly assaults the undead from a place of relative safety. Slowed by their heavy armor, they nevertheless serve as guardsmen of villages and towns against mortal threats as well as undead.
