Royal Knights are not subject to Obligatory Charge.

Corinthia was a collection of City States, so each contingent would have a uniform and banner derived from its home city.

O'Connor says that Corinthia was reminiscent of Ancient Greece, while Carter and Bizar indicate more of a Macedonian feel. Mike Stelzer, in his Hyborian Lists for DBA, suggests early Low Countries without any bow. I have based this list on Alexandrian Macedonian.

Corinthia was allied with Nemedia and the Western Free Company.
