Leader: Captain Ser Caldrin Vale — a broad-shouldered aasimar veteran with a broken halo-mark over one eye and a reputation for speaking truths others avoid.
Specialties: Disciplined infantry warfare, monster hunting, caravan protection, siege relief, and hard campaigns.
The Gilded Exiles are soldiers of Solara who carried too much honor to quit but too much perceived shame to stay. Many were trained in the radiant armies of the Bastions, then cast out for being too harsh, too honest, too politically inconvenient, or too stained by the realities of war.
They still fight with discipline, formation, and sacred training, but the polish has been stripped away. What remains is a grim company of veterans who know how to win when ceremony fails. Their ranks include shield veterans, radiant skirmishers, grim cavalry, and battle clerics.
