Namarti Reavers provide the archers and scouts for the Idoneth Deepkin phalanxes. The Akhelians recognise the need for reconnaisance, picket forces and massed missile fire, but regard such duties as beneath them – thus, the Reavers are assembled from the quickest and lithest of the Namarti. Their weapons training concentrates upon how to swiftly aim and fire the silent whisperbow, as well as how to defend themselves with short keening blades designed for stabbing. In battle the Namarti Reavers move quickly, probing defences, seeking out vulnerable quarry and harrying the enemy’s most formidable war assets, providing a distraction as the Akhelians line up their devastating charges.
