R’hllor’s Faithful are medium infantry troops whose belief in the Lord of Light inspires them to powerful feats of bravery and valor on the battlefield. They even fashion their blades after the legendary Lightbringer, Azor Ahai’s fiery sword, although theirs are not lit with magic but with a mixture of oils that burn with a bright heat, albeit for a relatively short time.

The Faithful can be relied upon to hold the line more than most of Stannis’s units, although their medium armor will not hold out forever. Still, like their blades, for a short time, the Faithful can withstand any punishment, no matter how severe.
