Editing Blighted Kingdom (section)

== Military Strength ==
Being in a state of constant war on the most inhospitable continent in the world, their adventurers and soldiers are some of the best the world’s seen.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2-07/ Chapter 2.07]</ref> They spend massive amounts of wealth supplying and maintaining their military, and they are supported by nearly every nation in the  world, through reinforcements, donations, or resources. They have an arsenal of high Tier spell scrolls built up over thousands of years, and are more willing to use them than other nations. They receive about one of of every ten spell scrolls an Archmage makes. King Othius' military Skills are usually reserved to counter the [[Demon King]]'s Skills and the [[Deathless]].

They craft deadly artifacts called Deathslayer Arrows. They come in variants that can detonate, have more potent effects, or seek targets. The Seeker variant is cursed and will pierce through anything, can split to pursue multiple targets, and phase through reality to hit inside dimensional Skills. One fired shot can travel to another continent to hit its target. Only the seeker variant is rarely gifted to allies.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/30/9-41-pt-3/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 3)]</ref>

Notable forces of the Blighted Kingdom include Shel's Cleansenborne led by Queen Coretine, and Gloomless Troupe led by the [Hero] [[Thomas Trautmann|Tom]]. 

The Cleansenborne are one of the largest, toughest, and most skilled warrior groups on Rhir. Members are trained from youth and cannot quit. They are also massive, some reaching eight feet in height, perhaps due to acquiring the traits of their leader, the Queen.<ref name=":0" />

The Gloomless Troupe is composed of mad, laughing [Jesters], [Tricksters], [Fools], and [Clowns] imitating their [[Thomas Trautmann|leader]]. Their bright outfits make them targets, and they charge into the enemy, hacking at them until one is dead. They're considered as bad as Fearless Demons and have been known to charge even [[Crelers]], but they level fast.<ref name="7.34C" />

The Blighted Kingdom trains [Necromancers] corps. They are equipped with bone armor and field skeletal warriors, even Bone Behemoths. They don't reanimate the dead unless needed. Their Bone Behemoths are armored with bone and armed with massive bone maces, and one can easily take down a regular Bone Behemoth. As they are able to mend damage to the giant, it lets them use a dispersible, regenerating giant-class fighter which can be used for extensive service. Skeleton archers climb it to provide supporting fire, and the undead horde is self-sustaining from the death-magic they passively generate. They still have support units to help maintain the force, and can be linked to the Walls' mana reservoirs if needed.<ref name="7.34C" /><ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/19/7-36-c/ Chapter 7.36 C]</ref>

[Necromancers] trained in the Kingdom's schools must study an advanced undead before they're allowed to animate the dead. The undead bodies are provided by volunteers. Bodies may also be donated to [Golem Artificers] and Blood Mages.<ref name=":1" />

Their [Beast Masters] train not only combat animals such as [[Wyverns]], but also smaller animals like [[Waisrabbits]] and Goldflake Pigs to use as scouts.<ref name=":2" />
