IMG at the initial 'siege' under Jorkandros the main contingent is the full strength of Jasper Phalanx, which is more or less his 'local' Stonewall regiment, and is in the 'old time Urvairinus' food group. Appearance-wise, I'd say they were on the 'Middle Eastern' end of the 'Greek hoplite' spectrum, and the Issaries site provides that they wear just one greave and one vambrace.
