Archer

Archer is one of the towns founded by the original Oeridian settlers of the area. It remains a fairly sleepy country town, with a large farmer's market every Starday. The town militia is much higher quality than usual, training regularly and stiffened by an unusually high proportion of experienced veterans. One organization of note in the town is the Fellowship of Fletchers. From the name, one would think it a simple guild dedicated to the art of bowmaking and fletching arrows. In truth, it is one of the finest schools for the art of archery anywhere. Teachings include building stamina (necessary to win long battles), mounted archery, and trick shots. All of the earl's troops have been through at least the basic archery training of the guild; all of his cavalry are trained as mounted archers.
