History

Fighting Style

The fighting style of Dun Tyr has gone through several iterations over time. At the peak of the household, Dun Tyr used to field several groups called Lances, which would act as fire teams, and were assigned specific purposes. Unfortunately, the household went through a period where it lost many of it's members, and subsequently, began to fight as a single, shield wall style unit, albeit a spear-heavy one.

Currently, they are attempting to rebuild, and have began to reconstruct Lances, as the population begins to grow again. However, at the moment, due to lack of training, it is still fighting as a single unit, although they tend to be fast moving, pinning enemies down, and creating holes for the rest of the Army.
