THE HONOURABLE 1ST MARNANTINE BRIGADE

‘JOSEPH’S LIONS’

 

“Persist, or perish.”

 

For old Adria, Auvergne and Illatia, and even the brethren of Ves; years of subjugation and punitive strife thinned the ranks of the people of the Empire’s breadbasket. Of them no mind was heeded by any man in the iniquitous Pertinaxi war machine, for their vision was that of red mist and the ghosts of their enemies long since passed. And so it remained, that was until the Pertinaxi sought to lead the flock too far astray from the precepts and principles that mankind and GOD’s Ministry held in their hearts.

 

From such gore arose the most brutal yet righteous companions. Many years of malice have bred now those that seek, ‘till death, retribution for the injustices of Aurelius’ line against them. Amongst them, no confusion as to whether some nephew of Antonius ‘the Arbitrary’, or if the line of Marna, ought reign.

 

Heartlanders beheld a sea of fire now upon plains that once hosted gold fields. Days grew dim and the nights long from the ashen cities and skies. Men rallied to end the madness, and these men were those taking up arms for the Imperium Marna. Parading often and almost omnipresent in their fulfillment of duties, bearing the once playful moniker of ‘Lions’ for how vigorous and proudly they served.

The First Brigade is assigned specific duties the Colonel is obligated to organize and execute. They are all, however, sworn directly to the Emperor, and to them, his word is law.

 

  • The protection of the Emperor, his kin, and his Council.

  • The protection of the Emperor’s emissaries and operatives.

  • Maintaining order within the Imperial demesne.

  • Maintaining the defense of the Imperial demesne.

  • Defeating the enemies of the Emperor on the field, in the form of infantry vanguard.

  • The performance of duties with tact, reception of insult with grace, and refrain from the wanton giving of offense.

The command of the First Brigade falls upon the Commander, who assigns and dismisses officers at will. It is not uncommon for the First Brigade to take on young men to train with them from childhood, and serve as pages.

Oath

Once a draftee is deemed fit by the senior command, he is brought before the Emperor to swear his oath of allegiance, till such a time that the Emperor releases him, or he dies.

 

If I should falter in my course, send me never to the skies above.

If I should die before my charge, bestow unto me His blessings.

For now, I march into a valley through which there is no path.

And the stones cascade behind me, to seal my retreat.

Though in this valley, I find my Brothers;

Now I am named Guardian to the Sovereign of Man.

Should I falter, my shield shall turn to ash;

But I shall not falter.

The night was dark when the Emperor sent for him, he wove through the streets his mind had raced. A palm shaped scar still burned at neck, his most recent wound lay upon the grizzled veteran; his mousy brown hair flecked with grey, he also wore a great beard; a signature of his time spent on the road. He had abandoned his bandanna, his cap he had thrown in the dirt, still he paced wondering what his liege would demand of him.

 

His duster swayed in the midnight wind; his rusty spurs still rattled to the beat of his feet as he passed from the muddy streets and behind the sheltered gates of the city’s royal residence.

 

”You’ve been with us since Rodenbourg, Ser.” 

 

So spoke the Emperor Joseph, whom showed his back to him; instead facing a small fireplace which flickered dim against the darkness of the room. The Emperor sat in a tall wooden chair visible only was his resting arm, he prod the flames with his fire iron. He himself had halted his advance at the door, he remaining sober and silent and he stood there awaiting a signal. Would he be dismissed, scorned, stripped even? His thoughts were a calm storm, but from the corner of his eye he caught his summons and began to approach; the Emperor set his implement aside to wave him over.

 

”And at your side since sire, so long as these wings don’t fail me here.” he’d grunt, taking care. His voice hoarse beyond compare, to Joseph’s melodic tone.

 

He stood beside the Emperor now; directly before the fire, the Emperor in his armchair who lew just next to him. As he stared into the dancing flames, the Emperor gave a simple and hoot of laughter.

 

"Ever since, quite right." Joseph snorts, curling forward slightly, if only to wipe the tears from his eyes. "Augh, quite right."

 

"But now." he wheezed, pressing backward into his chair again as he composes himself. "I've had an idea."

 

”Sire?” he questions, turning to search the Emperor’s face, his features only half lit by the now smoldering fireplace which lay just a few inches from them both. “Save your trumpet for the crowds, not for me.”

 

”You’ll rise right out of the ground, when my damn trumpet sounds” The Emperor would quickly retort, scowling upon his man for his resistance. “Now come before me and take a knee; you’re a man without a purpose Morovic, it’s time enough I gave you one.”

 

He fell before the Emperor, and the Emperor rose before him. He unsheathed his sword planting the tip against the floorboards, his hands tightly bound to the it; Stefan Morovic began to speak the words.

 


 

“If I should falter in my course, send me never to the skies above.

If I should die before my charge, bestow unto me His blessings.

For now, I march into a valley through which there is no path.

And the stones cascade behind me, to seal my retreat.

Though in this valley, I find my Brothers;

Now I am named Guardian to the Sovereign of Man.

Should I falter, my shield shall turn to ash;

But I shall falter not.”
