House Stark: Karstark Spearmen

Few things are more terrifying for charging cavalry than a line of hardened spearmen with shields locked and spar leveled, particularly true for bulwark formations under the white sun banner.

House Karstark's Spearmen can snap into a wall or square of glinting spear tips in seconds. As such, they're perfect cover for a battle line's vulnerable flanks or rear where unimpeded cavalry can break a line without resistance. Kitted with chain and leather, they can absorb some hits, but are not suited to vanguard on their own. Their mobility makes them suitable for both defense or assault.
