The Empire Responds to the invasion of the Uruk Hai
Big’Jan arrives!
Big’Jan Cos there is a little Jan where he comes from so we had to be able to tell who was being talked about. This Giant is in permanent Imperial employ, he is unusually intelligent for one of that breed and has developed a rudimentary passion for business of all things. He is known to the Imperial court as ‘His Royal Majesties Great Dredger’, the only one to hold this contract. Jan takes his post most seriously and enjoys his contract. A giant can clear sludge from moats quicker and cheaper than any team of men! Especially with that big stick of his. Jan is much sought after on the Emperors province, he dredges at half the rates of rival companies but does it in a 1/4 of the time, on his own. His great wealth is spent on fine clothes to show his status as well as looking a member of the team on the battlefield. He also buys the finest of wines to be stored in his Griffon skin wine bottle. The emperor ensures this griffon skin and his food satchel is well stocked, even though Big’Jan is intelligent for giant kind he can get a bit crotchety on campaign if his skins are a bit empty. The Emperor recognised that it can be very poor for the men’s morale when someone 10 times the size of a man and dressed as one of the elite takes horses and wandering drunks for ‘man snacks and blood wine!’ But! When properly catered to, Big’Jan is awesome to see striding through your enemies ranks! An unstoppable dredger of death.
