“Denied sovereignty and political power, the diaspora has proven that the Adrians exist beyond any piece of land nor polity, but rather exist as a folk.” - Duke Markus Sarkozic

𝕴t is with necessity in this time of diaspora that the Adrian people defend themselves. Within the recently erected Ivory Tower of Eulersburg, Duke Stefan Euler recognizes the importance of keeping the people of Beznov safe and protected.

 

From time immemorial, the Adrian people have shepherded humanity’s stalwart defenders. From the Vladovic Regiment, the foundation of the Imperial State Army, to the Greycloaks, the Adrian man is GOD’s instrument.

 

Now under the watchful eye of Duke of the Adrians, Stefan Euler and the recently acclaimed  Bogumil Radovan, the prestigious mantle of Adrian defender comes to rest upon the Hajduci.

“A more pragmatic defense force would do us well.” -Duke Stefan Euler

Stalwart Hajduk Kaplar

 

EXILIC DUKE OF THE ADRIANS | Stefan Euler ((@fuzzgaja))

Foremost, the loyalty of the Hajduci is to serve he who has been rightfully deemed EXILIC DUKE OF THE ADRIANS by the Adrian DUMA. All who join the guard therefore bind their fealty to the DUKE.

 

PUKOVNIK | Bogumil Radovan ((@monster_duck))

The leader of the Hajduci chosen by the exilic Duke of Adria. He is responsible for keeping a well armed and managed force of soldiers. The Pukovnik must ensure all the customs and standards of the Hajduk are maintained. It is his duty to delegate tasks to his two lieutenants, the Poručnik. Frequent events and good relations with the other parties within Numendil are also within his jurisdiction.

 

PORUČNIK | There are two lieutenants. One leads the MRP while the other does so with PVP.  They both help maintain the culture and high quality of all members experienced or otherwise. These men are highly skilled in their craft and very prudent of potential threats to Adria spotting areas for possible incursion before they reach Beznov.

 

KAPLAR | To become a Kaplar one must be nominated by a Pukovnik or Poručnik and then pass through the gauntlet. Members here should watch out for potential recruits and be trusted members of any unit in combat to behave with the utmost vigilance and ruthless efficiency.

 

REDOV | A Redov has been initiated into the Hajduci and completed the ritual. They are still new to the brigade, but serve wherever necessary in order to uplift Adria and those within their number. They are not the most experienced, but serve with the utmost diligence.

As written by Adrian citizen Josef Euler

 

Hajduci are rugged warriors. They do not don shiny armor, their breastplates display no heraldry --for that is not their purpose. They wield specialized weapons, designed for skirmishing and hit-and-run tactics. Oft, one may find a hajduk bearing a bow, javelin, and throwing knives for these purposes.
 

Their equipment is best described as reliable and practical. It is not uniform between members of the regiment, as Hajduks are afforded the liberty of selecting their own implements of violence. Outside of combat they are gruff people, harsh and slow to trust--but inherently mischievous. Deeply superstitious folk, they carry many trinkets and icons that they expect will help them in various situations as wards, talismans and good luck charms. These are often in the form of necklaces, bracelets or warpaint. 

 

In combat, they are renowned for their ruthlessness and savagery. This reputation is well earned, and most people would do well to avoid crossing their path. They adorn their exposed skin with mud and green paint, covering their hair in dirt and twigs for camouflage. All members are expected to grow powerful mustaches as a sign of their undeniable manhood. Though they may not be the most chivalrous men, their efficacy is undeniable.

Those brave Adrians who answer the call to their people and wish to enlist in the Hajduci should seek out Bogumil Radovan ((@monster_duck)) or Duke of the Adrians Stefan Euler ((@fuzzgaja)) or send a bird to the Aviary.

Stefan Euler sits upon his throne, fingers interlocked. A gentle breeze washes over the man, smelling of pines. In his mind, the forest is now their protector.
