Garranre

Garranre is a heavily forested nation lying to the north of Rudrith. Their main export is their ironwood lumber, which a lot of the nation revolves around. They value intelligence highly and produce the most solid ironwood architecture, with drinking being the finest indulgence known to them. Dishonesty is an egregious sin, and the gods are not to be respected but to be greatly feared.

Locations:
- Farebury (capital)

- Caecellan

- Barrelford

Military
255,000 men form the wartime military of Garranre, made up of draftees for fighting mainly the goblin forces to the north.

Infantry
Garranre's infantry is mostly made up of drafted woodsmen, because they are so abundant. Because of this, they tend to bring along their own ironwood equipment. Axes are most common, and carving tools can occasionally be found. Much of what they wield is made of ironwood, making their shields impenetrable and their helmets most hardy. The infantry is used for exploration and patrols, and often enter guerrilla skirmishes with the opposing squadrons.

Navy
The navy is a large focus because of the incredibly strong ironwood of this nation. Their ships are impossible to penetrate, but unfortunately quite heavy so they focus on small stealthy scouting ships. In battle a huge amount of ships will swarm the enemy ships giving them no out and a large boarding force from all sides. The ships are very stealthy so are impossible to detect through their black-painted sails and hulls, and their incredibly quiet maneuvering.
