After the formation of country, there was briefly no standing army in the The Noble Kingdom of Lexidus. In the Formation War, Lexidus was characterised by the use of small war-bands of household troops often engaging in raids and low level warfare. By the end of the formation, the kings of Lexidus could command forces of tens of thousands of men for short periods as part of the "common army", mainly of poorly armoured spear and bowmen. After the war of formation, Lexidus and it's kings reigned supreme and sought immediately to form a permanent force. Formed 500 years ago shortly after the kingdom itself, the army is unparalleled in its defensive and anti-siege capabilities but is going under slight reformation to improve it's ferocious but haphazard offensive capabilities.
