IMPERIAL REFORM: THE LEVY

[Coronate 5528]

 

Issued and averred by the office of the

LORD MARSHAL

 

✠ HEED, LEAL SONS OF HOREN;

 

The Dragon Knight, ever sworn to his master, the Emperor of Man, is hereby given leave to muster additional levies from the countryside. The Legionary System is to be reformed to the Imperial Levy System: As the threats facing the Imperium know no boundaries or distinction, there is no longer a need for one amongst the Militarum.

 

✠ I: ON THE MATTER OF THE CROWNLANDS

The Imperial Crownlands shall be mustered in full by the Lord Marshal at any time, sending forth the Imperial Knights to do so.

 

Landed Knights of the Black Dragon are given leave to muster their own forces so long as they bear the Industrium’s Armor and Imperial Sigil; they may wear the colors of their fiefdom.

 

The position of Legate will hereby be a temporary title granted by the Emperor to a chosen Imperial Knight to restore order to a region when the Grand Knight or Lord Marshal is not present, exercised during a situation of duress. Auxiliary Legates within the Kingdoms of the Imperium (Norland, Idunia, Caurost) will still hold the same authority and task of mustering their men for war at the call of the Imperium’s Lord Marshal, Grand Knight, or Emperor.

 

Should an Internal War Charter be granted and a Knight’s Levy be involved, they are expected under penalty of death to don distinctive vestments; any man wearing the BURGUNDY or BORDEUX of the Imperial Rittersberg Levy is strictly prohibited from joining in such an arrangement.
