Footman

A Footman is a common term used for melee infantrymen in the Eastern Kingdoms. Most Human kingdoms in the east utilize footmen as the bulk of their military forces.



While equipment varies from unit to unit, the most common example of footmen were those employed by the Lordaeron Army during the Second and Third Wars. They bore Steel Plate Armor, an Arming Sword and a Tower Shield in battle. Footmen are known to be able to fight well both individually and in formations depending on the amount of training they receive.
