THE PIKES

THE PIKES

Ie Gisarmis

 

i. INTRODUCTION

Founded in the year 1882 by Paul Salvian, Ie Conse de Temesch et Esheve Moere, in the heat of the Orenian conflict, Ie Gesarmis (or the Pikes) were created as a means to protect the peoples of Temesch and the larger region of Mardon. The band of soldiers is founded on the principles of Temeschir culture, and therefore heavily engrain its words and honourifics with that of the Noufielle Esheve tongue. And while the band has vowed to defend the Mardonic peoples at large, they are tied to the Count of Temesch and his domain, and so bound to the word and laws of the Count, serving the Count of the highest authority of their ranks.

ii. HIERARCHY

The levy loosely follows a classic militaristic structure as known from the Kingdom of Oren, having drawn its roots from the cultural Orenia. It is expected by the soldiers of lower rank to respect those of higher rank, and it frowned upon to act friendly amongst one's superiors. While largely seen as a band of brothers, Ie Gisarmis is created upon the concepts of respect and status.

VIEDE COMANDERRE (LORD COMMANDER) 

Viede Comanderre (or the Lord Commander) is the highest ranking member of the levy, second only to the Count of Temesch, and leads the daily functions of the band. 

 

LUTENANTS (LIEUTENANTS)

Lutenants (or Lieutenants) are the second highest position amongst the ranks of Ie Gisarmis, and serve as aides to the Viede Comanderre. There are typically no more than three Lutenants at one time. 

 

GISOUVRIERS (PIKEMEN)

The Gisouvriers (or Pikemen) serve as the bulk of the levy. They are the standardised soldiers of the band after having been elevated from their period of training. These are the most vital men for the strength and functionality of the levy.

 

TIRANTS (INITIATES)

Tirants (or Initiates) are the entry-level rank of the band and serve as a period of training until elevation to Gisouvrier. Tirants are typically assigned a Gisouvrier to shadow under their time of learning the ways of the levy.

    ii. To fight at the behest of the Count of Temesch, and to be his champions in war.

    iii. To foster and raise militaristic talent amongst the peoples of Mardon.
