VECTORI

"Until death or glory!"

The Vectori are a company of professional soldiers that serve Oren, mainly in the Duchy of Northal. They serve as the bodyguards of House Vekon, the police force in the Duchy, and in war, soldiers for Oren, and leaders of the Duchy's levies.

Ranks

Levy
Any man of the age of fifteen to fifty that is fit for battle and a peasant or subject in the Duchy during wartime may be conscripted into Duke Vekon's host if required. These Levies usually have full time jobs and do not comprise the standing army.

Armsman
An Armsman is a Vectori that has been observed, tested, and trusted before undertaking their Oaths. They are then on sworn to Oren, the Duchy, and the lords of House Vekon. They have the authority to enforce the King's justice in the Duchy and are provided for in terms of food, shelter, and armaments by House Vekon.

Armsmaster
This is a modified version of the traditional rank of Master at Arms. Armsmasters are usually oathed for some time, seasoned in battle, and have proven their ability to command. These are Vectori heightened above the rank of Armsman. They hold all the authority and are given the privilege to command their subordinates in and outside of battle.

Honor Guard
The position of Honor Guard is a job assigned to the most skilled warriors of the entire order. They accompany and defend the lords of House Vekon during battle, perilous meets, and while travelling. They are the most cautious and always prepare for the worst, taking their lords' safety above all else. They hold authority over all subordinates when on task.

Knight
Vectori who find themselves knighted by the King during their service are recognized and amply provided for with horses, the best armor, and the privilege to command even Honor Guard when on task.

Commander
A Commander is an incredibly skilled warrior who has been selected by the Duke himself to lead the Vectori and all levies in battle and assume absolute authority over all military affairs in the Duchy.

Castle Vekon, home of the Vectori.
