== Military ==
Oteslia is known to be the weakest of all Walled Cities when it comes to pure military strength. Word from Manus is that Oteslia is waiting to be burnt, even.<ref name="6.33">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/23/6-33-e/ Chapter 6.33 E]</ref> The military is also strong enough to fight off six Adult-Stage [[Crelers]] simultaneously, and is supposedly capable of taking on an Elder-Stage Creler as well. Still, they might lose against two or more Elder-Stage Crelers.<ref name=":6.67" />

However, they have elite groups, and they are known to use various animals in warfare, such as summoning swarms of insects.<ref name=":1" /> Known elite groups include the Winged Riders, an [[Oldblood Drakes|Oldblood]] Batallion who can lift their horses mid-run into the air. At least one of the riders in each company also rides a [[Pegasus]], which are incredibly rare animals and currently only bred in Oteslia on Izril.<ref name="5.60">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/16/5-60/ Chapter 5.60]</ref> The city's Named Adventurer, [[Mivifa Selifscale|Mivifa]] the Oldblood of Feathers, is also known for riding a Pegasus. Another elite group, the veteran scouting group called Wildfriend Scouts, can use birds as eyes, letting them react quickly and in a unified manner.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/13/interlude-hectval-pt-2/ Interlude - Hectval (Pt. 2)]</ref>
