Militia
In a world full of terrifying dangers, independent settlements are particularly vulnerable to attack. Without any sort of formal defence force it often falls on communities to organise protection amongst themselves. The bravest and most proficient citizens form a volunteer force of enthusiastic amateurs, who serve as much time as they can, protecting others against the many dangers which their community face. These are the Militias: patrolling the nearby countryside, maintaining fortifications and defending their way of life against all those who threaten them.
Forek just isn't the kind of guy to run around on someone else's legs, or to trust his safety to a belligerent animal. He likes to trust his own reflexes and skill, and needs a suitable conveyance which will fulfil these foibles. It took Kraytssk three months of solid work to cobble together Forek's load-lifter from an ancient chassis he found in a cave at the fork of the Red River. It took another four months to hone the vehicle to Forek's exact specifications.
Mara: Everyone knows it: Forek is the leader of the Skyton Militia. However, he can't be everywhere at once, and when he needs someone he can trust, Mara is his first port of call. An expert soldier, trained in the Bridge Military Academy, Mara arrived in Skyton purely at Forek's request, having spent six years serving in the Triumvirate cooperative defence force. Her expertise is questioned by nobody, many observing that in the field at least, Mara is every bit Forek's equal as a commander. However, not all trust her. She isn't helped by her abrasive, no-nonsense attitude. But there are rumours that her loyalty is to the The Bridge and is placed in Skyton as a spy for that increasingly imperialistic state. Those who meet Mara are struck by her relentless determination, dedication to the job at hand, and the flicker of ghosts in her pained eyes.
