Known for their unyielding discipline, brutal training regimens, and survival prowess, they are a highly organized and hardened force. The Ironreach is bare, scarred by past wars, and resources are scarce.

Over generations, they banded together under a common banner to protect what little they had, forging themselves into a formidable military force under the creed: “Strength is survival.”
