The world of Gaea is war-weary and heavy with the burden of repeated conflicts. Wars are ongoing with some lasting for decades or even centuries while new ones flare up along side them. The history of the world is stepped in conflict and in a world like this, fighters can flourish.
The most recent historical conflicts were The Crown Wars and the subsequent Sorceress Wars. The Crown Wars, fought between Myrddion and Charn, saw a great advancement in both technomagical capability and the fighting forces of both nations from simple grunts to elite knightly orders or black armor clad brigades. The Sorceress Wars, fought for the freedom of Alexandria, gave rise to freedom fighters and guerilla tactics that fought an unceasing uphill battle against a firmly entrenched occupying force. Ten years later, many of these fighters plus a new generation of fighters are seeking ways to continue to use their skills. Some fighters might be part of a chivalric order such as the Phoenix Guard or Knights of the Iron Crown. Others may be guards of a mercantile house or mercenaries and bounty hunters hunting after criminals, monsters and malcontents in The Desolation.
Options
Fighters stand to reap great benefits from additional feats, new weapons and armor options offered in the Emblem of Ea campaign. Feats from well received books such as Complete Warrior are available along with house weapons such as firearms and the Greathammer (Great Maul).
Prestige Classes
A number of Prestige Classes are suited to the fighter, including some that are related to race-specific themes where their history and martial traditions are concerned. Grand Blademaster and Reaping Mauler and more are good examples.
