Naisylvan equipment and tactics have been heavily influenced by the infighting following the Great Wars. Noble sylphs tend to prefer mobility to durability, so most of their weapons are designed to precisely find difficult targets and defeat light armor. Coupled with the misdirection afforded by their shapeshifting abilities, these tendencies have shaped Naisylvan militaries into agile, slippery forces.

The concept of Voshelans (Studying the Enemy) is ingrained into every level of Naisylvan doctrine. Individual swordsmen try to anticipate and counter their opponents’ strikes rather than focus on raw strength. Small units use high mobility and misdirection to outflank cumbersome foes. Large elements focus on scouting and intricate maneuvers to isolate and crush enemy armies at their weakest points. Naisylvan spy corps are unusually celebrated and their military intelligence is exceptional.
