LORE: Unlike their deviant cousins, Scholae City States believe that it is first and foremost the duty of the state to protect itself. As a result, unlike the citizen levies of the more democratic or theocratic City States, the Scholae instituted the taghma: A city wide conscription program in which a small portion of its population, usually less than one in ten, is drafted into service. Service is expected to last two years, starting no later than a conscipts 30th year and the state shoulders the expense of providing weapons and armor. The Scholiasts have found that the ark infused arms and armor of their Taghmata more than make up for the lower motivation and training of their forces, particularly when deployed in closed formations. HOW THEY PLAY in FIRST BLOOD: Warriors trained with both spear and shield armed with arcane armaments provided by the Scholae. Forming an energised shieldwall of lightning and discipline, the Scholae Taghma form an offensive counterpart to the traditional Hoplite; whose electrified weaponry dispatches the foe both from range and in melee. The Taghma serve as the prime shock troops of the City States. HOW THEY PLAY in TLAOK: Armed and armored with the technological marvels of the Scholae, these conscript soldiers form an impenetrable wall of Ark-infused shields and spears. Fighting in tight Phalanx formations, they withstand even the fiercest assaults, turning the momentum of enemy attacks into energy that powers their Ark Shields!
