Stratioti
Stratioti are light cavalry and reconnaissance scouts, usually of Tellian ancestry, recruited by the various agencies and armed forces of the Elwynnese Union for service in the Vale of Angularis against the brigand-like Kossars of Ashkenatzim ancestry and the partisans of the Dark Orchid Society.
Their dash and elan in combating the insurgents in remote and difficult terrain where the UDF and even the Longship Guard have previously floundered, has earned them a reputation that many seek to emulate. Indeed in 1639 Kaðlín Quickdraw, the commander of the Vanic Temple Guard garrison at the Worship Water of Jolly Loch near Azeroth (associated with the Shinyspring Temple) reformed the detachment under her command as a squadron of stratioti.
There are reports, firmly denied, that the Stratioti groups have received training, funding and equipment from agencies within the Imperial Government.
