A longbow unit, equipped with extraordinary yew longbows at a draw-weight of 60lbs, small oaken shields and hardened steel short swords. Their uniform was tipically coloured green and white.

The 11th, originally named "11th Alatol Dragonfire" was founded by Cullen O'Ways, a Knight of Alatol at the time, at the age of 20, when he had left the 2nd Alatol Dragonfire as militia in Nida, as he was ordered to by high command. This was at the end of the Carelian war, and the 11th's numbers and fame changed on numerous occasions. They were always dispatched to the "Army of Est Solarus oth Mithas". When Cullen was appointed Count of Vornion in 6 a.T. the name of the unit logically changed.

The 11th was famed for its' strong discipline, maintained even more fiercely than usual for a "Dragoneer" unit. Their drills were always attended by large crowds due to the spectacle they offered. They were part of both missions against Redspan, stood at the gates of Suville and were part of the retalliation on Abbington for its' incursion into Imperial territory, the Skalk Duchy to be precise. Some of the men served the full eight years the unit was part of the mobile army. Among those Captain Igor, son of a blacksmith from Trawiy. He and Cullen became close friends over the years and it was no easy task for Cullen to leave his proud unit in Tarasac to serve on as guards of the Ducal City.

For many years to come they will remain the reference for many Dragoneer units.
