--I------- The Gaidin -------I-- The Gaidin, men of legends mystified by tales of old, enshrouded by myth's as much as those they serve: the guardians to the fabled Aes Sedai, they are recognized as being amongst the most fearsome of warriors in the land. - Words like duty is worn like a mantle, and they live by this as if abiding to a pole-star, sometimes with steel barred in a flashing promise of death: none treads safely from the prowess of the Gaidin should they endanger those they are bonded to: even insults have resulted in blood flowing. They are often referred to as "Leashed Dogs", or "Death on a Leash": do not anger an Aes Sedai lest you can become the subject of the wrath of their warders. - The training to become a warder is as rigorous as it is unique: with the finest warriors gathered in one place young men are drilled in the teachings of combat in all its forms: hand to hand, tactics, sword fighting: the object is to make one man equal to three or four regular soldiers, so that they can fulfill their duties to their future bondmates. - There are many stories circling about the abilities bonded warders receives: some claim that they can make it without food, water and rest longer than normal people, and that they can receive wounds that could kill a common person. Many other similar qualities are mentioned, but few knows the truth behind the claims. Further information: Template Show 11, Tower Guard |
