Spearmaster

The best spearguards are usually chosen as the elite retinue of a commander, and are renowned for their mastery of the spear and shield. Spearmasters, as they are called, are rarely involved in actual fight and train extensively to compensate for the limited number of combat occasions. In this they are similar to the halberdiers guarding the Gardens and the Palace of the High Steward Goran, their longtime rivals: where halberdiers claim to preserve a tradition of combat dating back to the origins of Wesnoth, spearmasters claim to be more than a match for them, and that their rivals cling to their halberds only because they need expensive weapons to counter the skill of a true spearmaster.
