Description
Euraesia was the empire that conquered the known world from the 100s BU to the 600s AU in the real world calendar that would be from the 1000s to to 1700s AD. They have been enemies with the Anthaesians ever since they discovered the peninsula. The musketeers were typically mounted soldiers serviced from the kindom of Kraft but the musketeers sent to invade Anthaesia had to fight off of their horses because of the unforgiving mountainous terrains of Thaesia. The Euraesian Musketeers were armed with the latest trending rifled musket which offered higher penetration and bullet velocity, they were given the military standard Francois rapier sword which was not ideal for the battlefield but at the time Euraesia was at peace and the swords were what was most distributed throughout the kingdoms.
The musketeers wore the black and blue Francois cavalry coats and coat of arms over their thick baggy shirts to combat the extreme cold in the open but higher and colder lands of Euraesia, their boots and gloves were similarly constructed using mostly sown felt with leather pads for under the feet and over the hand. Each musketeer proudly wore Kraft's insignia which was a large saint Mary's cross that has been passed down through generations and somewhat lost the consistency in its design.

Euraesian Musketeer Armaments:

Imperial Rifled Musket Anno-1636/IMRIA-36 -
A common 1600 era musket but instead of a smooth bore the pipe was rifled and the musket balls were comparable to cigars. The musket's stock was typically made of walnut wood and the barrel black steel. The IMRIA was muzzle loaded just like the muskets of history, which meant every soldier had to carry extra pouches or belt bags full of the metal cigars, gunpowder, and either paper or hay.
Total weight: 9 Kilograms

IMRIA-36 Fitted Bayonet:
The Euraesian bayonets were similarly produced using black steel since the empire had an abundance of it. The bayonet when not in use was sheathed in between the barrel and the ramming rod, the bayonet was a simple rod design welded into a detachable lock muzzle and bent to form a pseudo pike when attached to the end of the long rifle.
Total weight: 0.5 Kilograms

Francois Rapier:
The Francois Rapier was short for a standard rapier which made it lighter but less effective when it comes to duels against another person with a regular rapier. The musketeers stationed near Anthaesia and the invasion forces were intentionally given such swords because they knew that longer blades wouldn't be effective in a battle of powder and metal. The swords were meant to be used as a last resort when the musketeer finds himself separated from his unit and out of ammo.
