Nefertem
VANGUARD LITTER PACKS
Rank is often determined by age in Nefertem society and these
are the lowest of the low. As young as three months of age,
these warbands compose of mates from the same litter with an
Overseer to drive them into battle. Shieldbearers usually
comprise the front line, absorbing enemy missiles with their
Warshields or their bodies. Following close behind are their
brothers and sisters with swords and spears. Bringing up the
rear is the Overseer, ready to slay any who would disgrace their
familial unit.

THE AGED
After several battles, a Litter is generally reduced to the point of being
unfieldable. Nefertem who have survived the loss of their family members are
extensively trained to work with other such veterans. These elite units can demand,
and usually receive, better quarters, equipment, food and drugs. Known as the Aged
for their now patchy and grey fur, they tend to perform mop-up duties on any foes
surviving the tide of Littermates. Adding to their effectiveness are Qurai and
Gozu-Tenno mercenaries swelling their ranks.

RAT CLAN NEST GUARD
The Dwarven Rat Clan has gained much from their alliance with the Nefertem. One of
the many concessions the Rat Clan has had to make to the Nefertem to assure their
prosperity is providing and equipping elite guards. Nearly every Nefertem Chieftain
has a personal bodyguard of Rat Clan guarding him and the breeding nests. They are
usually only deployed in battle in the most dire of circumstances, when the
Chieftain himself must enter combat. The Nest Guard is well supported by
mercenaries from the Qurai and Gozu-Tenno (showing just how good their powers of
disguise are) and is a staunch defensive force, as difficult to root out as a rat in
a hole.

BLESSED BRETHREN
Though the small size and flexible skeletature of the Nefertem are great advantages
underground, they often lead to them being physically overpowered on the surface
world. Early on during the Massacre, Sakhmet acted through her Prophets to create
specialized breeding programs for a new warrior caste. Though this moved quickly
due to the short lifespan and large litters of the Nefertem, the goddess has never
been known for patience and interfered directly. The Blessed Brethren swelled to
prodigious size but were reduced to a rudimentry intelligence and an even shorter
lifespan. Nefertem Care-Takers are assigned to the Brethren from birth to train
them nearly every waking hour and guide them to trouble spots on the field of
battle. During the mass confusion after the Wilding, it took little persuasion to
convince surrounding Dwarven Clans that the Blessed Brothers were actually "Rat
Totems."

JARRI ARCHERS
The Jarri have lived on the
surface world for generations
as wandering clans of hired
killers. Unlike the underground
world, missiles are viable
weapons and the Jarri strive to
master them. They are regarded
as demons in the Southron deserts
for their lightning-fast raids
and black-fledged arrows killing
with a scratch. With the
reemergance of the Stygian, the
Jarri have joined the rest of the Nefertem for only token fees. The Gozu-Tenno,
realizing the urgent need for elite missile troops, has poured much of their
wealth in securing Jarri commissions for years to come.

BRETHREN CHARIOT
One of the highest ranks that Nefertem may hope to attain is that of the Divine
Retribution Warriors, or Ma'ahes. These veterans are rewarded by Sakhmet with an
extended lifespan and are completely independent of all mortal authority. They
function as travelling judges of religious law and have been known to subsume
control of Nefertem armies in the field. While the Prophets are the goddess's voice
in peacetime, the Ma'ahes are her knife in war.

PROPHET
Most Nefertem are considered ancient at five years of age. Prophets are truly
blessed by their goddess, for they are seemingly ageless; a handful of the most
powerful claim to have have been among the original Nefertem so many thousands of
years ago. Any Nefertem managing to survive to his twentieth year is transformed by
Sakhmet into a white-furred Prophet, becoming a mouthpiece of the goddess and a
powerful clan leader in his own right.
