Armies of Oerth, Part XXV: Prelacy of Almor

Onward to Dragon Magazine # 65 for another article, Greyhawk's World - News, Notes and Views of the Greyhawk Campaign: Events of the Eastern and Southern Flanaess. This one begins with a proclamation of war issued against the Great Kingdom and her satellites by the Kingdom of Nyrond, the Prelacy of Almor, and their allies. This, in conjunction with the various military activities already in motion, as well as some other mysterious happenings, serve only to ignite the inevitable powderkeg that has been growing within the region.

According to the Field of Glory wargaming rules, I shall be using the standard ratio of 250 men-at-arms per model base.

Prelacy of Almor's Army List

Originally a fief of Aerdy, Almor grew in power and independence as the Great Kingdom became weak and decadent. The state is only loosely organized, but it has a strong spirit of freedom and justice based upon religious precepts. The peoples are mainly farmers and herdsmen and fisherfolk. The Prelacy is strongly supported by Nyrond as a buffer between that realm and that of the Overking, and pays a stipend to help support the standing army of Almor.

(3 models/base; knights on horses, full plate armour & substantial shields, hand weapons)
