A ''battle cry'' is a word or phrase shouted by [[fighter|warriors]] in [[combat]], intended to strengthen the [[morale]] of friendly troops and shake the morale of the enemy. Battle cries are also used to [[rally]] troops at need.

Many individual [[fighter|fighters]] and [[household|households]] have their own battle cries, as do [[Barony|Baronies]] and [[Kingdom|Kingdoms]].

A line of [[armed]] fighters roaring a battle cry as they crash into an enemy shieldwall is a formidable sight, indeed.

Some examples:

* ''Lamh Ladir Abu!'' is an ancient [[Irish]] battle cry.
