Battle Companies - Dale and Esgaroth

By Antony Ashton (ABalrogofMorgoth)

Hithero's Forces of Dale and Esgaroth wrote:

The people of Esgaroth had an unusually peaceful existence in Middle-earth, so its standing army gradually declined
under the rule of its elected Master who preferred wealth to weapons. Before the desolation of Smaug there was a small
standing army of warriors who did not go about their duties with any great enthusiasm and were very lax in their training.
