The Infantry Department is a subsection of the Sword Regiment, which falls under the Imperial Legions of the Holy Empire of Acolytius. It is led by the Colonel of Infantry, who is currently Dwyer Corman.
The Infantry Department oversees any soldiers who fight on foot while using mundane melee weapons. These can be any type of weapons, such as swords, polearms, war axes, blunt clubbing weapons, and more. The Department has various subsections of its own that focus on the training of certain weapons and their fighting styles, as well as the development of large-scale battle formations that are best suited for a weapon's strengths. When new recruits join the Imperial Legions, they often start off as a member of the Infantry Department before potentially being moved to another Department or Regiment.
Soldiers in the Infantry Department all wear matching armor made of steel. To denote one's rank within the Department, adornments are added to this armor in the form of crests on the helmet.
