Freeguild Marshal

A Freeguild Marshal is the iron spine of a city army, a commander risen through blood and merit to hold the lives of thousands in a single steady hand. They lead from the front rank rather than the rear, blade drawn and voice raised, for the free peoples fight hardest for a leader who shares their danger and never asks a soldier to stand where the Marshal will not.

Such officers are pragmatic to the bone, schooled in the grim arithmetic of the siege: which flank to spend, which gate to hold, which charge to meet head-on. Among the Cities of Sigmar they are the human face of Order's endless war, mortal and unmagicked, yet capable of stiffening a broken line by presence alone. A Marshal's shouted command can turn a rout into a counter-charge, and their personal courage has bought whole cities the hours they needed to survive. To their soldiers a good Marshal is worth a company of knights, for steel can be replaced, but the will to hold cannot.
