Editing Nation of Zell (section)

==== Fidissaries ====
Zell is a war machine and therefore needs more soldiers than it can naturally recruit. That is where the Fidissaries fit. Every seven years, officials arrive at each town in their region. They take the strongest children from ages three to ten. The officials journey to Havell with the new recruits and drop them off at the Hammer. This is the fortress of the Fidissaries. Until age eighteen, the children are trained to warriors that are completely loyal to Zell and the Consul. Each Fidissary is trained in all manner of weapons, military tactics, politics, and magic if they show talent for the art. The training of a Fidissary is considered the most brutal in the Zell army. Fidissaries are expected to be able to lift twice their body weight over their head, be able to run fifty miles without rest, and are routinely dropped alone, naked, in the middle of the wilderness and expected to make it back to Havell (somehow). One legendary instance of this is when thirty Fidissaries were dropped on the [[Primordial Ring]]. Over the course of the next year, twenty-nine out of the thirty made it back to Havell. On the battlefield, the Fidissaries are feared. They engage with whatever equipment is best for the job (usually plate armor and a greatsword) and cut through the enemy line. Fidissaries are particularly adept at finding enemy commanders before either capturing or executing them.
