O'Ways/Hamish/13th Leod Dragonclaws

                                             Amor patriae nostra lex 

This unit was founded by Hamish O'Ways, age 17, as he arrived in Cathay and swore allegiance to the County of Leod.

Their weapon is Mixed Infantry. They use advanced crossbows designed by Hamish himself, who inherited his fascination for ranged weaponry from his brother Cullen. Their arsenal also comprises small round shields and harded steel short swords for close combat.

Initially it was made up of 15 men, including their Captain, Edwin, an 18-year old millers' son. The unit was dispatched to the 'Scarlett Legion' and joined in the first-ever foreign campaign Cathay mounted, namely breaking the siege of Larmebsi by Arcaean troops. Their first battle in breaking the siege, no casualties where sustained, but after a few days they spent improving the frontline defenses, the counter attack made by the Arcaean Army nearly wiped the unit out. Of the first class, only the Captain and two troopers, namely Runrik and Jules survived.

Hamish returned home to recruit and replenished the ranks with Leod men, improving the level of armament and bringing the unit's numbers up to 25. Whenever at the capital, Anacan, they take up lodgings at the inn called 'The Wild Boar', their traditional locale.
