The Conclusion of an Era.

Penned by Ser Demetrius var Ruthern, Constable of the Royal Duana.

    To my loyal, persistent Marines of the Armada,

I, Demetrius var Ruthern, with good faith write these reforms with the Kingdom of Balian’s best interest in mind. As the  successor to Lord DeNurem and his legacy, I create the foundation of these reforms in sound mind, to assure the everlasting security of our great Kingdom. Hoping that the men before me who have been seated within the position as Constable will not have to rest in unease that the defensive forces of Balian falter under my call. With the power entrusted in me, I call for the ending of the Kingdom of Balian’s Era of Exploration. Once an effort declared by His Royal Majesty, King Adrian I, Don Dante DeNurem, and my father, Lord Gaius Geoffrey var Ruthern, our Third Amiratus;  GOD rest their souls. 

I hope our Kingdom may prosper with these reforms, or so I shall be removed from office and the successor after me shall make it right. 

 

With regards,

His Excellency, Ser Demetrius Laonicus ‘Al Valiant’ var Ruthern

Marshal of the Regiment of Saint Lothar, Constable of the Royal Duana, Count of Marsana, Baron of Turanov, Lord of Alriczan.

I. CHAIN OF COMMAND

 

As the Regiment is an established military which holds an autocratic structure. The Regiment of Saint Lothar is dedicated to being at the forefront of defense within our Kingdom, implementing a sense of both security and prosperity within its people and the crown. All as said, the ranks which make up the Regiment are as so.

This distinguished rank signifies the peak of martial accomplishment, serving as a symbol of honor and leadership. The Marshal's responsibilities entail the management of all affairs related to the regiment, ensuring its success and prosperity through strategic military endeavors.

CAPTAIN | CAPITÃO

Appointed by the Marshal, these individuals have demonstrated skill and unwavering commitment in the face of war, earning their place as the second highest ranked individual in the army.

Lieutenants bear the responsibility of designing trainings that cover a diverse range of skills, spanning from battlefield tactics to strategic formations. 

OFFICER CADET | OFICIAL CADET

The achievement of the Officer Cadet position is of dedication and diligent service whilst in the ranks of non-commissioned officers. It represents a critical phase in one's military career, where individuals are entrusted with the opportunity to undergo training and mentorship under the guidance of their senior officers. This role is vital in shaping them into capable and effective leaders within the regiment. Only those at the rank of Banneret are eligible for the position of Officer Cadet.

BANNERET | BANDEIRANTE

The rank of Banneret stands as a singular rank, achieved within the of non-commissioned officers, earned through the display of seniority, valor, and exceptional dedication among one's comrades in the ranks of foot soldiers. This elevated status is not easily given but is rather rewarded for a soldier's journey marked by exemplary service and the passage of time.

MAN-AT-ARMS | HOMEM-AT-ARMAS

The senior enlisted rank within the regiment, encountered in various roles such as patrols and everyday operational duties, is the rank of Man-at-Arms. This rank is granted to those that show capabilities amongst the battlefield and exemplary service as a soldier.

Our standard-bearer leads the battle as a proud member of our frontlines, it being the utmost responsibility for a soldier of the regiment. Should our banner falter, so will all soldiers on the field. It is held by the most experienced and combat capable soldiers enlisted, if they’re to fall in Battle, our forces will crumble.

III. TRADITIONS OF THE REGIMENT

IV. CONSTABLES OF OLD


 

Lord Viktor van Darkwood [ 1 B.A - 14 B.A ] @DarkWrath94

The first Constable of Balian who served under John I, the First King of Balian, not much is notable about his time as Constable, only that he had formed the Brotherhood of Balian. Viktor van Darkwood vanished not long after the formation of our army.


 

Lord Peter of Arkent [ 14 B.A - 55 B.A ] @ErikAzog

Count of Salia, Peter d’Arkent was responsible for the reformation of the Brotherhood of Balian into the Company of Balian. His time as Constable was nothing short of prosperable, leading to its growth and influx in recruitment just after the disappearance of his predecessor, Lord Viktor van Darkwood. Lord Peter of Arkent’s most notable accomplishment being during the Siege of Cloudbreaker, the forces of Balian and its allies successful, of course the organization of such was left to Lord Seneschal Ledicort Vuiller. The Company then faltered after the events at the fall of Almaris, leading to the end of Peter of Arkent’s lead.

 

Lord Dante DeNurem [ 55 B.A - 91 B.A ] @Maur

Upon the arrival of the land of Aevos, Dante DeNurem focused his efforts into a reformation of the Company into that of the Royal Balianese Armada. His actions being most valuable to the abrupt increase in recruitment and a bolster in our Officer Corps, being one of the more prominent Constable’s of Balian, he quickly became an icon of the Kingdom. Soon after his lead, he earned himself a Knighthood within the Royal Orders of Chivalry, Torreveliar Dante DeNurem ‘Al Rook’ of the Order of Saint Lothar. After many long and thriving saints months, the tensions between the realm of humanity was at a rise, declaring war between the Kingdom of  Haense and its allies, which Balian was a part of, against the League of Veletz. The constable put endless hours towards the war efforts, rightfully earning him the March of Moncoure for his work. The declaration of Veletz marching on Balian soil and the passing of His Royal Majesty, Adrian, Lord DeNurem retired rightfully so, his mantle being left to the next leader.

V. MARTIAL LAW

 

Through insight and best judgment between the previous high command body known as the Board of Admirals and the Magisterium, both branches have come to consensus with the removal of the Panel system, opting to replace it with a Military Tribunal. While the Regiment of Saint Lothar still holds authority to enforce punishment upon their soldiers if an individual is to violate the Lex Militaris.
