Heroes

Heroes are the great leaders of your Faction. They are considered exemplary in every way - a Hero with no ranks is considered equal to an elite warrior, the best non-hero general, and the most able non-hero spy.

When you recruit a new Hero, they start with one rank in a skill of your choice. They can acquire further ranks and traits (which modify your ranks and add flavor) through roleplaying and action. Winning a great battle might gain a point in the General skill, while going on a quest may find a legendary weapon.
