For years during the Trolloc Wars, the forces of Manetheren, led by King Aemon, were stalwart defenders of the light. They marched far across the land, fighting the Shadow at every turn. Wherever there were men fighting the forces of the Dark One, the Red Eagle of Manetheren was always at the front. For their perseverance and courage, the army of Manetheren became known as a thorn to the Dark one's foot, and a bramble to his hand.
