The so called White Queen's corps was a partisan army assembled by Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia during the Second Northern War after her previous army was defeated in the first battle of Aldersberg. The backbone of the army was the Lyrian Free Company, a big unit mostly made up of bandits, mercenaries, volunteers from Mahakam and what remained of the soldiers who stayed loyal to the queen.[1]
