The Myrken Militia
Headed by Myrken native, former farmhand and ex-Brotherhood soldier Agnieszka Kaczmarek, the Myrken Militia is an organization of farmers, merchants, and craftsmen who volunteer their arms and their lives in the defense of Myrkentown.
The Militia defends the town in times of need and emergency, in past years numbering anywhere between 800 and 5000 volunteers. The Militia generally does not sally forth to fight battles like the army would; Militiamen are primarily a defensive force, manning walls, patrolling the countryside and protecting their own. They are not meant to be full-time soldiers, and train instead in their free time while pursuing their lives and crafts.
The previous Militia was meant to defend only Myrkentown. Whether this will continue to be the case is still unclear.
