About the Suffolk Armed Forces

The Suffolk Armed Forces, as commonly known as the Suffolk Army, consists of Regiments of 100 ((10)) soldiers. Each regiment is divided into two divisions of 50 ((5)) soldiers. First Division of a Regiment is commanded by a Captain who also is in general command of the Regiment and second Division of a Regiment is commanded by a Lieutenant, both are assisted by Sergeants. Suffolk army is heavily influenced by the Romagna (as all aspects of Suffonian) and Romagnan Army  and has a deep infantry tradition and obsession with shield formations. Only conventional mounted forces of the army are the rangers.

 

All regiments of Suffolk have different numbers and names and they mostly pick private symbols and saints for themselves. Duties of the soldiers in peacetime are divided in three categories: (i) security, (ii) law enforcement and (iii) scouting. While all regiments conducts guard duty and ensures the enforcement of laws as guards (in peacetime soldiers are named guards) second regiment (Regiment II - Crimson Rangers) specifically conducts scouting and espionage tasks and resides at the Crimsonfort at the gates of Pembroke City. While Regiments of the Army are a standing force, in times of need, new temporary Regiments can be gathered until the need is satisfied.

Conventional Regiments

 

Blood Eagles

Blood Eagles are the prime force of the Army and only the most loyal and able warriors are ever admitted to their ranks. When Edward Suffolk arrived to Atlas he was accompanied by a handful of Suffonian men, whom came with him from the far lands of Romagna. As they did before, they swore their allegiance to House Suffolk and from there on always remained on his side. On arrival Edward told them, “As I am the Eagle of Suffolk, so shall thou be my wings and talons” and named them the Eagle Guard. When the Pembroke Castle was found, Edward so declared “Thou have served me, bleed for me, until now thou were mere bodyguards, but today I recognise the blood on thy talons and declare thee Blood Eagles, First Regiment of the Suffolk Army, cornerstone of Suffolk!”. Thus Blood Eagles were borne and they were tasked with serving as the household guards of Suffolk.

 

Regiment Oath:

On this day, and all the days and nights to follow,

I am bound to the service of the Lord of House Suffolk,

I shall know no master but him,

I shall know no family but my brothers in crimson,

I shall know no wealth but my loyalty,

My sword shall be his talons, my legs shall be his wings

My blood shall paint the Red Eagle,

On this day, and all the days and nights to follow.

 

Crimson Rangers

As the Blood Eagles were a heavy infantry regiment, a swifter force for scouting missions was required. Thus the second regiment, Crimson Rangers was formed. First recruits of Crimson Rangers were foreigners seeking a home and refugee in Pembroke City. Suitable bodied of these men were enlisted as rangers and were trained in the ways of Suffolk by Henry Lodmund. As the second regiment proved to be a success, they were declared as an official regiment and given the Crimsonfort named after them, at the skirts of Pembroke City.

 

 

 

Auxiliary Regiments

Since Suffolk Army has an infantry tradition, it relied on its ally and vassal states for Cavalry regiments, thus Auxiliary Regiments were created. Auxiliary regiments consists of non-Suffonian subjects of Suffolk and mainly focuses on mounted warfare. Unlike conventional regiments, Auxiliary Regiments has no regiment number and no definite number of soldiers and their military ranks varies. Leader of any Auxiliary Regiment stands the same as a Captain of a Conventional Regiment, in matters of warfare.

 

List of Auxiliary Regiments

 

Lodmund Regiment

 

A Short History of Vassalization
While riding close to the lands of Santegia for a quest given by Edward Suffolk, Henry Lodmund was ambushed by a nomadic Turkin tribe called called Osmanoglu Beyligi.  Seeing his expensive cloths, Turkins captured Henry for ransom and threw him in to prison. Henry refused to cooperate with his capturers and did not provide a ransomer name and kept challenging the Osmanoglu Bey (leader) to single combat to death. After a couple of days Henry’s resolve was not broken and the Bey was not able to decline the single combat and after being challenged before his men. The Bey he armoured up, got a shield and a steel sword and provided Henry, who was at the point of starvation, with a mere iron sword. Against all odds, and after various wounds and a long duel, Henry killed the Bey and asked for his release. Heirs of the Bey, Osmanoglu family ordered for Henry’s arrest, but Turkins valued honour above all else and were angered with the honourless acts of House of Osmanoglu. They butchered their masters and pledged their swords to Henry, whom they deemed the true successor of the Bey. Henry was not expecting to win over a Turkin tribe. Nevertheless he took them to his service and trained them in then Suffonian ways of warfare. When Pembroke was established, Henry, who was the first and most loyal retainer of Edward Suffolk, was given a castle of his own named after him, the Lodmund Castle. Henry who preferred to stay in the Green Terrace Mansion in Pembroke City, established Lodmund Castle as headquarters for his Turkin Regiment, know as the Lodmund Regiment.

 

Government of Osmanoglu Turkins

Prior to entering in to the service of House Lodmund, thus House Suffolk, Osmanoglu Beyligi was ruled by Beys from Osmanoglu Family,  whose sons were called Beyzade and daughters were called Beysanem while their wives were called Hatun. Since Henry did not accept the Bey title, Osmanoglu Beyligi was legally dismantled and they became the Lodmund Regiment, but they still kept all aspects of Osmanoglu Beyligi save the name and the Bey. As all men and women of Osmanoglu are warriors they do not differentiate between civil and military offices. Right hand of the Bey was called Pervane, and now a Pervane appointed by Henry Lodmund rules the Turkins on his behalf. Under Pervane, serves Bashs (heads) appointed to specific tasks as: Alpbash (head of the army), Erzakbash (head of the inventory). Soldiers of Osmanoglu are called Alp and they serve under Cavush(s) whom reports to Alpbash or Pervane.
