The Fireloques of Ferlangen are a troop of deadly accurate handgunners that have fought throughout Ostland, often under the army banner of Elector Count von Raukov himself. Wearing the black and white of their home province, the Fireloques of Ferlangen bear no formal insignia, but superstitiously decorate their hats and uniforms with the bones of fallen comrades and other good luck charms. Even amongst the stubborn Otslanders, the Fireloques of Ferlangen have gained a reputation for tenacity, holding their gun line and unleashing volley after volley of fire into approaching foes. Their refusal to surrender the flank against marauders from the north during the three-day Battle of the Littered Bones earned them the nickname of Skull Clubbers, as without gunpowder for the entire last day they resorted to using their beloved handguns are blunt weapons to stem the tide of attackers.
