Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska 3323 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Shield-Brothers of Markev Citizens Militia of the Free and Sovereign City of Markev | Forlorn Hope PERIISSEM NI PERIISSEM I Would Have Perished Had I Not Persisted PREFACE A cruel winter it had been for the otherwise comfortable people of Markev. The bustling city, once no stranger to the eyes of eager merchants and desperate immigrants from far away lands, had been left in desolate solitude. But high above the empty streets streamers of black and gold still wave vibrantly in the course of the Southern wind, carrying on with their unsung duties as bearers of the colors. Left ungoverned by royalty, unprotected by an army, and abandoned by their faith, the remainder of the people of Markev sought to prepare their stand against those tyrants who would have them governed and protected from palaces in far away lands— a life more fit for cattle than mankind. Rather than accept a fate of servitude, these free and civilized people chose instead to risk their lives— sacrificing the comforts of conformity— to pursue greater liberty. A hard winter it had been for the armies that challenged the might of the Czena. MISSION The Shield-Brothers of Markev serve two purposes. First and foremost, brethren are sworn to defend the inhabitants of Markev from all threats, foreign and domestic. In lieu of a professional army, this rabble is given basic training in the art of war and sent to man the walls. Lacking a proper uniform, men of many different creeds are seen peering across the landscape from the safety of the Haensetic towers, or greeting visitors as they enter the city. Most recently, these men could be seen preparing the city for an inevitable fight against Northern aggressors. Secondly, the brethren act as a civil authority, preserving law and order in spite of the chaos at hand. Though perhaps ungraceful in their methods, the body earns the respect of the people by being of the people. Shield-Brothers occupy the barracks compound at the rear of the city, a good walk from the day-to-day grounds which they patrol. Many serve in exchange for room, board, and coin-based incentives as granted by the Commandant. In a slight change in tradition, brethren who serve in the successful defense of Markev will be granted fertile acreage or an unoccupied home in the city itself. RANK STRUCTURE In lieu of the professional army that originally defended the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, the Shield-Brothers have adopted simplified ranks representative of their status as a well-trained militia. Commandant The Commandant of the Shield-Brothers of Markev is the highest military authority in the city, responsible for designing the strategic defence that will carry it through these darkest times. Though capable of providing front-line commands, he usually works through a team of capable officers to perform complex endeavors otherwise foreign to a rag-tag force. Ensign Ensigns are the officers under the Commandant who are responsible for executing his strategic goals. Ensigns are expected to be capable commanders who can utilize initiative on their own to win the day. First Sergeant The rank of First Sergeant is granted to the senior enlisted man in the brethren. Armiger Though originally the role of Armiger was reserved for re-enlisted veterans, its definition has been expanded to include experienced fighters who have shown excellent conduct while apart of the militia. Generally, this comes with added perks and leniency with regards to the enforcement of trivial infractions. Armsman Armsman is the standard rank of the Shield-Brothers, forming the backbone of the defense. At the end of the day, victory will have not been achieved if not carried by these motivated citizens. The term "Brother" or "Shield-Brother" is reserved for use as an informal term among the brethren. ENLISTMENT Please seek out one of our recruiters inside the city for more information, or fill out a questionnaire as supplied to your local tavernkeep and send it to the Commandant's Office in Markev. To those assisting the illiterate: please send applicant to the Commandant.
