[Recruiting] Sons of Kovac

[House Kovachev 26]

 

The Sons of Kovacs

"By right of flame”

 

The Sons of Kovacs is an order of hardened men from the Northern plains of Turov. Sworn to House Kovachev, they follow with unwavering loyalty, and serve as protectors of its holdings and peoples. Those within the order are known to fight and die on the battlefield before the thought of surrender crosses their mind, fighting with widely unknown fervor in the name of their cause.

Although the Order has recently been raised and organized, there are numerous men within who are loyal veterans to House Kovachev. More often than not these men came from the original levy force of The Brotherhood of the Gryphon, and are noted for being well versed in the arts of war. Their experience through the whole of the Courlandic-Carnatian War is indubitably the source of their fame and widely known honour.

- The Infantry -

Enlist

“By right of flame, you will rise to be reborn as one of us.”

✯

Fresh from the local town or places from abroad, many of these men will have little to no experience with a sword or bow. They will begin with extensive training to mold them into the capable soldiers that they will become.

 

Footman

“You can no longer be slain. No longer are you one, but are instead many.”

✯

These men have sworn their lives to train and fight for the glory of the Sons of Kovacs. They reside in Turov; taking an oath to protect it and the Kovachev bloodline, they are lightly armed and armoured, the first step in proving yourself loyal to the cause.

 

Streltsy

“Your blade is no longer frozen by the North’s icy winds, for it is warmed by the heat of your brothers now.”

✯

Men who have proven, through dedication and work, that they are deserving to represent the order and their actions. Skilled with an array of weaponry, it is a known commonplace for Streltsy to challenge each other to fist fights and wrestling matches, seeking to prove their personal strength amongst their brothers.

 

Hussar

“Standfast and ride hard, for glory comes to those who do.”

✯

The Hussar is a heavily plated infantryman, and the first step towards glory and prestige within the Order. Their armor forged by the flames of Kovachev, known to have a similar toughness to dwarven armour.

 

Serjant

“Due to outstanding loyalty you’ve shown your worth over your fellow comrades.”

✯

The Serjants are those among the Hussar who have proven themselves further in battle and more often than not have served House Kovachev for a many faithful years. They can be called upon to organize small groups of the lower ranked soldiers, menial work or smaller scale fights such as riots or the occasional bandit group. It is also not uncommon for them to personally take part in the training of the Enlisted.

 

Winged Hussar

“We ride through the flames of hell and back, nothing will stop us from carrying out the will of the Order.”

✯

The Winged Hussars are the cavalry of the Sons of Kovacs. They are a force to be reckoned with; their wings are an uncommon and fear inspiring sight. They are very heavily armoured from head to toe, and ride equine beasts that have been bred for speed, war, and courage. Using long poles or heavy warpicks to inflict damage against other horsemen or infantry at a long range, and at short range they use single hand warpicks or shortbows, depending on personal choice.  

 

 

Kommandant

“You have served long and well, your scars a memento of your sacrifice, your perseverance unwavering.”

✯

A rare breed of men, only a few are ever given the prestige of such a title. Those that have struggled and toiled throughout much of their life are honoured with this name. They demand respect in the ranks, they are the leaders of the Tazky, though the same as the Prizak of the Sipka, their commands are universal throughout.

 

Gamesmen

REPORT MASTER (Empty)

Deals with roster and general reports. Must be literate.

 

QUARTERMASTER (Empty)

Typically given to higher rankers, the Quartermaster ensures everyone is well fitted. They are in charge of seeing that the necessities and supplies required of the Order are filled.

 

DISCIPLINARIAN (Filled)

The Disciplinarian leads training exercises at least twice per Saint’s week to ensure the order is in shape. The disciplinarian, during training exercises, is given permission to discipline anyone in a non officer rank.

 

DRILL INSTRUCTOR (Filled)

The Drill Instructor is tasked with the training of the Unoathed within their respective company. The role is typically assigned to a Kovachev Man, and they are responsible for ensuring the qualified Unoathed pass their trials and formally take their oath.

 

MEDIC (Empty)

Those well versed in medicine and the healing arts that ensure the health of the brigade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holdings

The main hold of the brotherhood lies on snowy grounds in the Kingdom of Haense, specifically the County of Turov. It is where the Count and his family reside, along with the majority of the order men.

 

 

Weapons:

 

-Horseman’s Warpick

The Long Warpick is the favoured long range and mounted weapon of the order. It is used as a means to penetrate thick plate armour or mail which the standard sword cannot. While very effective at long range, it becomes rather useless at short range combat.

 

-One Handed Warpick

The One Handed Warpick is another version of the warpick, adapted by Carnatian engineers to inflict heavy damage and penetrate armour in short range. Its weight is well balanced to be easily maneuverable, and once stuck through armour it can be torn out with more ease than other weapons. The opposite end of the pick has a hammer that can also be used in a sort of duel sided weapon when needed.

 

-Carnatian Waraxe

The Carnatian Waraxe is a heavy axe that is most commonly found in a two hand variant, though a one hand variant can also be seen in battle. The Axe is heavily weighted towards its blade to ensure a deeper cut and harder hit upon striking an enemy. The axe’s heaviness can often lead to it being hard to dig out once stuck in armor, but can inflict much damage before becoming stuck.

-Carnatian Crossbow

The Carnatian Crossbow has seen its usage in battle many times, as well as in the assassination of Courlandic Enemies during the Courland-Carnatia conflict. Though it is slow to reload, the weapon once loaded shoots a bolt with a force strong enough to penetrate almost any armour. The weapon is loaded by cranking the string back, then loading the bolt.

-Carnatian Arming Sword

The Carnatian Arming Sword is the primary weapon of the initiates of the Order, It is given to the freshly enlisted upon acceptance, Although many prefer to use the One Handed Warpick or Waraxe when they achieve a higher rank and gain access to more weapons.

 

 

-Carnatian Longsword

 

-

Carnatian Compound Bow

The Carnatian Compound Bow is the main bow of the second brigade. The weapon’s many years of use has allowed it to be developed to surpass common bows. An advantage of the bow is its relative ease in being kept drawn for periods of time, while also firing with the same force of a recurve bow.

 

- Medals -

 

-Medal of the Risen: This medal is awarded to the Sons of Kovacs brave new comrades who have finished their training.

 

-Medal of the Tried: These medals are given to the brave men who have faired through the whole of a war alongside their liege, the current Lord of Kovachev.

 

-Ivan’s Medal of Service: These are awarded to soldiers who have faithfully served House Kovachev for six years, battle hardened men who are recognized throughout Turov as men who are to be honored.

 

-Tarrons’s Medal of Service: This medal is awarded only to wood elven members of the order. It represents bravery and courage in battle, as well as expert marksmanship.

 

- Sergei’s Medal of Service: These are awarded to soldiers who have faithfully served House Kovachev for a total of twelve years, like Ivan’s Medal of Service it’s recipients are honored and respected.

 

-Jan’s Medal of Courage: This medal is awarded to only soldiers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, often gained through heroic acts of honor and or bravery. Their recipient is known to possess undying loyalty and respect for the Lord of the House and his family.
