The Italian Condottieri

zta_the_italian_condottieri

We have mastered the lucrative and dangerous art of the international mercenary contract. By providing elite Zetan mountain infantry and veteran sailors to the italians for their various overseas wars, we secure access to modern Western armaments, gunpowder, and a powerful naval ally in the Adriatic. This connection ensures that our realm's independence is protected by powerful friends, while we simultaneously maintain and sharpen our ancient warrior traditions at home. It provides us with a professional military edge that few other Balkan states can hope to match.
