Soldier

The soldier is a dedicated warrior, one who lives and dies by his knowledge of and experience with weapons, fighting styles, combat strategies, and battlefield tactics.  Soldiers have existed in every period of history and are known to every culture in the world -- and modern Færith is no exception.  All that has changed are the soldier's weapons of war, which now include firearms, explosives, and other products of high technology.
