Training
In the first weeks of an Enforcer's recruitment, they undergo a series of exercises to test their fitness and build up a level of endurance suitable for the battlefield. It's your standard approach by any military unit. In the second month, they learn how to wield their swords effectively and make the best out of their shields and keep up with all the weight of their gear. The weakest and least fit of their Enforcers -- as well as those suspected of connections with those who'd do harm to their cause -- are washed out at this point. In the forth month, they have become capable, but they are not tremendously skilled -- or even moderately -- and require further practice over time. What happens is that newly trained footmen are often paired up with veterans and these veterans become responsible for the advancement of their recruit. Not only this builds a mentor-student relationship between the infantry, it ensures the veteran can learn more about this recruit and ensure he's loyal. On top of that, both parties benefit; succesful veterans may be promoted or earn some benefits, whereas succesful new recruits can ascend among their ranks. This kind of pairing up, typically, lasts for up to one year, but may be concluded sooner, if deemed fit, by both the trainer and a supervisor.

Spell Deflection
Enforcers use runed shields to deflect minor spells.

Shield Wall
Enforcers are trained in defensive formations that increase their survival.

Overpower
Seasoned Fireborne Enforcers can make short work of obstacles such as barricades, sturdy doors and a variety others by employing their axes and reducing them to splinters. In a combined, extended effort, they can break down even gates when in large numbers and employing their axe.

Fortify
Fireborne Enforcers can employ their tools, once they have materials at their disposal, to build up fortifications of their own or reinforce pre-existing locations. Its quality depends on the materials at their disposal, their numbers and the weather.
