About this class
The Soldier is a person who has enlisted in the service of their land. Equipped with the finest materials, the Soldier fights for their people. They fight because they believe it is their duty to protect others from those who seek harm. Being prepared for war isn’t easy, but a Soldier will tell you it’s easier than war itself. But it’s their duty to prepare to make it easier, even if only marginally. A Soldier might seems stiff in front of people they just met, but once you get under their armor, they are easier to get along with; especially if you’ve battled alongside them.
