The exception is the Veccavia Uncut, ungelded men who don well-crafted arms and armor, serving as an exclusive elite heavy infantry regiment in Verante Kruus's personal warband. It is a sign of dominance, and also to prevent them from fooling around on campaign. The Veccavians follow a policy of gelding men before enlisting them into their army - this is similar to an ancient practice of castrating male servants before allowing them to serve in a noble court or family. In stark contrast, the male warriors are poorly armed and armored, serving as the expendable foot troops. Their liege and all their noble troops are female, and are equipped with mounts, good armor and weapons. The Veccavian Empire has a unique culture compared to many others.
