Ardenin Militia

[Anisgar 585]

ARDENIN MILITIA

 

---

 

 

 

Issued and Confirmed by his Lordship Kjartan I, Baron of Ardenhall

19^th of the Amber Cold, 1687

 

---

 

The Barony of Ardenhall has forlong withstood without a proper military order to defend the likes of its common folk and nobility family, thus on the 19^th of the Amber Cold, 1687 Kjartan has seemed so fit to establish a Clan military, charged with the defence of the barony and its surrounding livestoc

 

The Ardenin Militia  is a mere military forced mainly filled with surfs, lumberers, and miners. Surely not a formidable force to fight, but fierce, having love for their Lord and the Ardenin name. Although not all filled with people not familiar with art of blade or axe, many of the old Ardenin men that fought during the Siege of Ashwood have recently filled the ranks as captains and commanders, the Ardenin Clansmen see this as a new opportunity to find glory.

“Maybe they should stop trying to recruit for their militia in Markev and Caroulstadt, it’s making them look desperate.” comments Demetrius from within his study.
