Discipline

[Wizry 437]

Released from a desk within the Vale came a pamphlet informing those coming to volunteer for the defence of the Vale,

 

"FROM THE DESK OF DEFENCE COUNCIL OF THE VALE,

 

It is the greatest consideration that the Defence Council has undertaken with the incoming Harrower conflict. Supplies have been ferried; plans have been created; and plans are under the moment in enaction. Furthermore it has also come into our understanding that several groups have made their intentions to join as volunteers clear.

 

While we, at once, appreciate the willingness of the volunteering groups - we also fundamentally must reorganise these volunteering groups to deny a fall of discipline and communication. These volunteers will work - unless otherwise specified - directly under the command of one Cathan or one Nenar. They will not be allowed to operate autonomously. Furthermore, they will require approval of their joining from one Cathan or one Nenar to maintain discipline within the ranks of the Vale defenders.

 

To consider why is to consider that many of these volunteers have not been integrated with defence plans from the beginning of the conflict; which means that they will need to be organised into a foreign legion. Furthermore, if we allow these volunteers to organise themselves autonomously, they will break some of our planning doctrine.

 

Thus these rules are set in stone for volunteers, with the confirmed groupings so far being the Solgaardians and the Paladin Chapter ‘Order of the Golden Lion’. Keep in mind that all Paladins are not approved due to faulty discipline or elsewise.

 

Punishments for breaking conduct will be as harsh as any law within a warzone.

 

Commandant Cathan,

Nenar."
