Seshnelan armies center upon a body
of heavily-armed noble cavalry, called
cataphracts, raised from the talar caste. Both
the horseman and the horse are fully armored
in bronze scale. Usually undisciplined,
individual noble warriors are nonetheless
fierce and well trained.

Talars are supported by non-noble
cavalry or heavy infantry from the soldier
caste. These professional warriors belong
to war societies, each claiming descent from
a Martial Beast (best known are the Lion,
Mammoth, Wolf, Snake, Horse, Deer, and Bull). Each society is divided into Regiments,
groups of extended families headed by a
captain. Regiments can number anywhere
from 80 to 1,200 men. Most are Sworn
Regiments, supported by a Noble House
who they have sworn to serve. A few are
Free Regiments, free-booting mercenaries
who serve whoever pays them.

Most horali fight on foot, although some
regiments are mounted. Their weapons depend
on their regimental tradition, all carry swords
as a right of caste. Most are armed with a bow
or crossbow, and a variety of close combat
weapons, including a single- or double-handed
broadsword, spear, mace, or axe, depending on
the regiment. Cavalry carry spears and bows.
Soldiers tend to be more lightly armored than
the noble cavalry, wearing boiled leather or
leather with metal plates.

Each ranking talar maintains his own
favorite zzaburi who may travel with the army
to provide magical support and aid.
Dronar militia are common, but usually
poorly equipped and motivated. They are
usually armed as spear or bow men, and are
more useful for garrisoning cities and castles
than fighting in the field.

The maritime cities of the Quinpolic
League use triremes to defend their naval
dominance. Broad and round hulled sailing
ships carry their goods across the oceans of
Glorantha.

== Religion ==

Malkioni, Rokari School
The Malkioni venerate the Invisible
God who created the Runes, worshiped as
gods by the barbarians. The Runes, in turn,
created lesser versions of themselves, often in
combination with other Runes. One of these
lesser creations, Malkion the Founder, revealed
the laws of the Invisible God to men. This
abstract Invisible God gives little, if any, direct
magic to its worshipers; but knowledge of the
divine laws give wizards the power to define
and manipulate the rest of the world, and turn
it into raw materials for their cosmic alembic.
Malkion himself died in the Gods War, killed
by rebellious gods. Malkioni wizards now
shape the universe without consent from gods
who elsewhere are believed to rule everything.

The Rokari School of Malkionism
dominates Seshnelan religious thought.
Hierarchical and centralized, Rokarism is
led by its Watcher Supreme. Rokari wizards
believe upholding the ancient castes of
Worker, Soldier, Wizard, and Noble is required
by Malkion’s cosmic laws. They believe a man
need only master his own duties of caste
in life to achieve salvation, called “Solace”,
and philosophically value a great farmer as
much as a mighty warrior or powerful king.
Converts to Rokarism are assigned to the
most appropriate caste by the local ruler,
whose decision is final.

Rokarism rejects the Dawn Age
revelations of Hrestol, blaming Hrestol
for the later abuses of Arkat and the God
Learners, and believes that they have returned
to the pure truth of Malkion. The Rokari
have purged their sacred Abiding Book of
God Learner lies and blasphemies. They
imitate Brithini concepts in a limited way:
some wizards and lords have gained extended
lives through their piety, but most mortals
live and die within their born caste. Unlike
the Brithini, the Rokari reject the Tapping of
other sentients for magical energy.

Rokarism is the state religion of the
Kingdom of Seshnela, and is closely allied
with the king whose authority and legitimacy
is sanctioned by the Rokari wizards. Other
Malkioni schools are subject to varying
degrees of repression.

In the Quinpolic League,
Navigationalism is a growing school, based
on ancient prophecies incorporated in
the Abiding Book. These prophecies were
fulfilled when Dormal the Sailor opened
the Seas and overcame the Curse of the
Closing. Navigationalism uses explorations
in the physical and magical worlds to
become closer to Malkion. Navigationalism
is the religion of the Duchy of Pasos, and
coexists uneasily with Rokarism throughout
the Quinpolic League. The Rokari Watcher
Supreme is investigating accusations that
Navigationalism is a Vadeli heresy.

The Castle Coast preserves a Hrestoli
school that is less rigid in its caste restrictions.
The Brithini enclave of Arolanit is a
stronghold of ancient Brithini atheism. The
Invisible God is universally acknowledged
there as Creator. No other worship is allowed,
even by visiting outsiders. Such necessary
rituals as the departure rites for sailors are
performed only after the ship has been towed
out to an offshore rock.
