Academy of the Stratioti

crt_academy_of_the_stratioti_advance

The fierce Cretan mountain dwellers have been integrated into a professional light cavalry corps, blending Western discipline with the hit-and-run tactics of the Balkan frontier. We have established permanent training grounds where the sons of the local nobility and the Latin settlers learn the art of the Saber and Carbine to protect the island's interior. These units are now exported as elite mercenaries to many states, providing a steady stream of military prestige and revenue.
