Cities of Sigmar – Freeguild Marshal and Relic Envoy

The highest battlefield office in each citizen host is that of the Freeguild Marshal. Each has been trained extensively in the military academies of their home city, their skills honed in the fires of war. When entrusted with the magical weaponry and protective amulets of their parent city, the Marshals reach new levels of deadliness on the field. The Marshal is sometimes accompanied by the finest squires from the next generation of recruits. Known as Relic Envoys, these young warriors dart back and forth, delivering messages to ensure all parts of the battleline act in deadly concert. It is common for these runners to bear a relic from their dynastic line, whether this be a revered weapon or the mummified head of a relative. The sacred memento will have been subjected to death rites that allow it to aid its descendants, whispering advice – or nonsense – from the other side of the grave. Freeguild Marshals who lead from the front are perhaps the most heroic of all. The respect they have won from their warriors is stronger than any shield, and their Relic Envoys ensure their orders always get to where they are needed. When battlelines clash, their skill with sword, hammer and pistol swiftly becomes clear.
