The Útonálló are a class of special mixed light infantry and very-light cavalry that originated from the Imperial Central within The Empire that originated from the Proto-Imperial Era. The Útonálló are specifically originated from the northernmost regions and primarily sourced soldiers from Salgo, Kassa and the North Fevideki. Útonálló are most noted for their signature hatwear. Infantry Útonálló wear a cap with a set of large feathers, while mounted Útonálló wear a cap with a singular feather. Both feathers are sourced from white-tailed eagles. During the Proto-Imperial Era, Útonálló were famous for their hatwear and their curved sabre that was used primarily by mounted Útonálló.

The Útonálló were used extensively during the Proto-Imperial Era as mercenary infantry and cavalry. They were used primarily by four different factions: The Northern Coalition, the Kassa Republic, the Salgo-Kassa Republic and the Jeno Coalition. The first official unit comprised of Útonálló was organized by Bálint Balassi for the Kassa Republic as the Hegyi Légió, comprised of mainly Salgo and Kassa people as part of a directive to create an elite light infantry unit to send to aid the Northern Coalition during the War of the Northern Coalition. Since their debut as a unit when deployed the Northern Coalition, they became a much more utilized and organized force during the Proto-Imperial Era. After the Unificiation of the Empire, the Útonálló were reorganized in their own battalion called the Útonálló Special Battalion under the Central Army Division.
