Such things are often heard along the road as the assembled troops of the Confederated Duchies march to war against the rogue Deckarde. It's no surprise that the troops of Dahndi-Wahler (Dan-dee-Val-or) have made such an impression, their resplendent purple uniforms cost more than most tenant farmers earn in a lifetime. In addition to their striking appearance the men of the Dahndi-Wahler Regiment of Light Foote have earned themselves a reputation as fierce fighters after their first encounter with troops loyal to Deckarde. The Dahndi-Wahler Regiment of Light Foote were acting in a scout and skirmisher capacity when they encountered forward pickets of a significant enemy force on the outskirts of the small town of Jerkin. Over several hours of fighting the men of the regiment repulsed numerous attacks by irregulars flying the banner of the Meddenites.

As the ammunition of the Dahndi-Wahler soldiers ran low they drew their sabers and charged dispersing the enemy in the direction of Hauberk. A Meddenite prisoner was reported to say, "Those troops in purple could not be dissuaded. They would not give ground and pushed us back from our farms and houses. They fought like lions, fierce and unrelenting." The mans statement has stuck with the Dahndi-Wahler Regiment of Light Foote earning them the nickname "Dahndi-Lions". The name clearly a bit tongue in cheek but the men of the "Dahndi-Lions" seem to enjoy the title immensely as it has been sewn onto the regimental colors.
