"Loyalty. Honor. Might."
The Stoutsmen are the military of Vale. As such, they hold great power and influence. Any formalized wielding of weaponry or physical force is under their jurisdiction. They remain for the most part non-corrupt, but hold their beliefs stubbornly and thus do not always have the "right" opinion or do what would be deemed moral. Most notably, they are the main pushers of the extinction of the Melokai.
