Spread across the Dunefolk’s lands are the lonely towers and garrisons that provide shelter to caravans and locals from bandits are monster. A single Spearmaster is said to be as formidable a defence as any of these fortifications. Spearmasters have perfected the art of the spear, and any foe foolish enough to challenge them will find themselves run through before they have the chance to strike. No less deadly, in the hands of a Spearmaster, is the shield – elephantine works of steel that can be shatter bone with a well-timed slam.

Spread across the Dunefolk's lands are lonely towers and garrisons that provide shelter to caravans and locals from bandits and monsters. These bastions are defended by the most determined of soldiers, who have often faced off against overwhelming odds only to repel the invaders. In an army they can be trusted to hold any position or line, long after lesser soldiers and men have fled in terror."+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+{SPECIAL_NOTES_FIRSTSTRIKE}
description= _ "Among the Dunefolk armies, the highest prestige goes to the master swordsmen leading every assault. Though honored for their service in battle, those who wield the spear and shield are largely forgotten beyond that: the path of a spearman is to fulfill the least desirable role in combat without glory or recognition. When a Dunefolk assault fails and a retreat must be had, a rank of Spearguards is usually left behind to hold back the counterassault. Though providing a formidable defense, the shield line is inevitably overwhelmed and most of the Spearguards lost to the maw of war. On the off chance that one manages to survive and find his way back to the recuperating army, he is often reprimanded for failing to stand his ground and die with the rest of his unnamed brethren. Nevertheless, after a minor scolding, the warrior is accepted back and carries his hard won experience into the next battle.
It is not a formal title, but ‘Spearmaster’ is what Spearguards call their companions who manage to return from the usually suicidal defense that the Dunefolk mount to guard their retreats. Hardly a term of praise or distinction, it is still a modicum of recognition for those who were prepared to die as nameless martyrs to protect their brethren."+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+{SPECIAL_NOTES_FIRSTSTRIKE}
