Pikemen of Tyra The Fortress of Tyra is located deep within the land of Bretonnia, specifically Brionne. While the Order did win the land they have had to defend it from first the Estalians and later the Bretonnians themselves. For this reason the pike has been imported from Tilea and later Estalia to combat the many Knights that roam the land. This adaptation did not come easily as it takes great courage to stand in the face of a charging horse, but the will of the Order is strong. Now Tyra's garrison consist mostly of the giant pikes and all across the Order more and more pikes have been seen as the smaller spears are abandoned. Pikemen Sergeant
