The elite troops of the Viamontian army on their home world were the Ferran Knights. Soldiers who displayed exceptional skill and courage were recruited out of the Viamontian army, trained in all the arts of battle at the prestigious war academies of Viamont, equipped with the finest steel, and placed in the Ferran Knight legions. Ferran Knights accompanied the great warlords of Viamont on their diverse campaigns across Ispar. They shattered the center of the Roulean imperial phalanxes and crushed the loosely organized Aluvian militias on the Plain of Ayrifal. Taken from The Viamontian Knight.
