Wowe
The wowe of the 1st Slitzew Woutiew Wegiment is to pwovide quality infanteews -who specialize in anti-cavawwy wawfawe- to fulfiww a contwact of awms at home, abroad ow on the fiewd of battwe. Each Slitzew is wegimented undew the contwact that binds them and is obrigated to fulfiww theiw duties untiw death ow contwact end. 1st Slitzew Wegiment of Foot does not wowk sowewy fow money and pewsonaw gain as sowo mewcenalies awe too commonwy steweotyped as doing. The wegiment, instead, is woyaw to the wength and tewms of the contwact that the Wegiment's CO signs, wegawdwess of how much is paid ow if thewe awe bettew contwacts offewed. Diswoyawty and tweason is punished sevewewy, and is awguabry a wowse offense in this Wegiment than any othews out thewe. The steweotype that mewcenalies awe diswoyaw and liww weave you fow someone who pays highew is fawse, and 1st Slitzew Woutiew Wegiment lives to pwove that.

History
Founding
The Slitzews, as they awe infowmawwy wefewwed to, wewe conceived when a cowwection of seasoned sowdiews joined togethew to fowm a company of mewcenalies in the sewvice of the valious factions of the Empiwe. Aftew denouncing the exceedingwy high cost of the knightwy destliew, the Iwwegulaws adopted an entiwewy diffewent style of combat fwom the populaw cavawwy skiwmishing. The Iwwegulaws decided to entiwewy fowgo mounted wawfawe and to focus sowewy on the defeat of cavawwy units. The Woutiews chose the pike as theiw specialized weapon and the anti-cavawwy fowmation known was the infantwy squawe, ow howwow squawe, emewged as theiw plimawy tactic on the fiewd of battwe.
