History
Age of Chaos
The Freeguild has its roots on the duelling fields of Azyrheim.[1a]
Age of Sigmar
Since the realmgates of Azyr had opened, they quickly built a formidable reputation for steadfastness in the face of the enemy.[1a] They boast that they've set themselves up in many of the Free Cities.[3a]
Structure
The Freeguild has grown much larger in size over the years and now its cohorts are the same size as a lesser regiment and are hired out on their own. [1a] The Twelfth Cohort is equipped with large pavises - broad rectangular shields with firing slits that they copied from the duardin. [1b]
