The Reikland XIII
Few regiments could boast the discipline and hardiness of the Reikland XIII. It was a point of regimental pride that its soldiers were silent until an officer commanded them to speak, and that they would pass into death without so much as a whisper. As a result, the Reikland XIII were incredibly selective in their recruits, and turned away even the most able-bodied of candidates. Most rejects ended up in one of the lower-numbered Reiklander regiments, whom the men of the XIII disdained as dilettantes unused to real soldiery.[1a]
