As a result of the corrosive hatred that the Tretallë have for the High Elves, and no other races, High Elfin Tallbows are an object of loathing, especially if they possess silver trim. Tretalleri archers use longbows, but prefer crossbows, leaving long-range warfare in the hands of the more-than-capable siege weaponry that always accompany the Tretalleri legions. | As a result of the corrosive hatred that the Tretallë have for the High Elves, and no other races, High Elfin Tallbows are an object of loathing, especially if they possess silver trim.

The Tretallë are indisputably the masters of conquest and the mightiest [[Dominion Era/Tretallë (Government)|empire]] that the world of [[Sekhar]] has ever seen in its recorded history. Though their martial prowess is nigh impossible to surpass, due to the fact that they are driven by what they take to be a divine imperative to spread the Dominion across the land, as opposed to bloodthirsty conquest, the Tretallë are also blessed with wisdom uncommon to most imperial races: that is, that the only reason that conquered peoples would remain within the purview of an empire and not revolt against it would be that they found being within the empire more advantageous than being without whilst still maintaining some modicum of control over their lives and their governance. | The Tretallë are indisputably the masters of conquest and the mightiest [[Dominion Era/Tretallë (Government)|empire]] that the world of [[Sekhar]] has ever seen in its recorded history.

The military discipline of the Tretallë is unmatched in the world of Sekhar. The indisputable masters of cavalry warfare, facing the Tretallë in open combat is a fool's errand, one certain to end in massacre. Though the resplendent reputation of the Tretalleri cavalry often overshadow its militia, the Tretallë are arguably just as deadly on foot as they are mounted.
Favoured Weaponry
Because they are a people so viciously opposed to all things arcane, the weaponry of nearly all high-ranking officials of the Tretalleri military are crafted from a special metal called Elledtrillë, known in the Common Tongue as Star-steel. This metal is renowned the world over for its ability to dampen and nearly-nullify and magical effects that it comes into contact with. The customary full armour of the Pale Imperator is forged entirely of Elledtrillë, effectively rendering him immune to arcane magic. In addition to this, most if not all Tretallë possess some minor trinket or piece of armour made of this special metal, heightening their resistance to the arcane.
In therms of actual weaponry, the Tretallë foot-militia prefer to wield spears and shields. The cavalry, in contrast, prefer their wickedly sharp crescent-bladed swords made of ordinary steel alloyed with Elledtrillë along with their ordinary steel lances that are used and discarded after the first charge. Due, however, to the military expertise of the race, pikes and swords are not unheard of among the foot-soldiers.
As a result of the corrosive hatred that the Tretallë have for the High Elves, and no other races, High Elfin Tallbows are an object of loathing, especially if they possess silver trim. Tretalleri archers use longbows, but prefer crossbows, leaving long-range warfare in the hands of the more-than-capable siege weaponry that always accompany the Tretalleri legions.
Military Heirarchy
Conquest
The Tretallë are indisputably the masters of conquest and the mightiest empire that the world of Sekhar has ever seen in its recorded history. Though their martial prowess is nigh impossible to surpass, due to the fact that they are driven by what they take to be a divine imperative to spread the Dominion across the land, as opposed to bloodthirsty conquest, the Tretallë are also blessed with wisdom uncommon to most imperial races: that is, that the only reason that conquered peoples would remain within the purview of an empire and not revolt against it would be that they found being within the empire more advantageous than being without whilst still maintaining some modicum of control over their lives and their governance.
