 +====== Myrmidon ======
  
 +An ancient society of warriors formed around the idea that mastery of arms should result from a desire to do good in the world. They swore vows to conduct themselves with honor and lend aid to those in need. Famous myrmidons have lived and died fighting for noble ends, and their stories inspire others to follow in their steps.
 +
 +Myrmidons have no use for fancy armor, preferring simple peasant garb, or for weapons outside those they have spent their lives mastering. All myrmidons limit themselves to a pair of swords and a longbow, and you are accomplished at using them.
 +
 +Joining the society requires you to forswear your holdings and possessions beyond what you need to fulfill your purpose. You have no master other than yourself and the obligation you swore to fulfill when you joined.
