THE ROYAL STATE ARMY OF THE APOSTOLIC KINGDOM OF AAUN EXERCITUS REGII APOSTOLICAE REGNI AAUN The Golden Marna laid upon a field of Royal Purple. Flag of the Royal State Army of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun. UNITATIS SUPER OMNIA Unity Above All Nauzicans of Alba We may never have the biggest army, but what we lack in arms we make up for in spirit. Our heroes fight tooth and nail just for the right to survive. Their genteel manner and civilised principles stand the test of time over and over again. Noble Cadets The ideal soldier is gentle, zealous, and chivalrous. Our noble families contribute to the ranks, and their children are taught the virtue of the honourable. Raid Warfare Our people are under a constant state of warfare or preparing for it. We are used to frequent raids and must adapt our way of living to survive. All who are able to serve. Marnan Tactics We have passed through the fires of tumult and have come out of them alive. Our brotherhood and comradeship makes us strong. Langkette Pass Our mountains protect us, we must fortify and defend them at any cost. Imperial Legacy Our ancestors once ruled the known world. The awesome power of the Johannian Empire still informs our traditions to this day. It was not so long ago that the Felsen Watch stood guard over its capital, or the Imperial Legion sprawled out of the gates of Johannesburg and into Axios. Our people learn this history well. The Royal Capital of Aaun, Whitespire, her Crownlands, and the Langkette Mountains UNIFORM Troopers of the State Army, Private, Sergeant, Captain While the State Army has had to retrieve its stock of pre-unification army uniforms following the dissolution of the Heartlander Confederation, the Cohort of Command is currently undergoing new acquisition of modernised uniforms to better suit needs and challenges of the contemporary era. THE BRIGADE SYSTEM As opposed to the lackadaisical approach of prior systems of command, wherein officers would be left without direct responsibilities, the Brigades of the State Army are designed to provide certainty and the ability to specialise. State Troopers are inducted into a Brigade based on its recruitment requirements, provision, and speciality. All Brigades undergo their own training regime and are responsible for the welfare and needs of their soldiers. The Brigades have their own culture and traditions and are posted to different regions of the country. They are led by a Captain and staffed by Sergeants. These tenured Officers comprise the Cohort, the advisory body of all army matters to the Archmarshal and the King. In turn, they are overseen by the Colonel, who ensures its needs are met. THE PRINCE’S OWN ROYAL NAUZICAN BRIGADE The Black Dragoons The primary subdivision of the State Army is its double strength urban cohort, designated with the command of the Royal Capital and her Crownlands. Per its designation as the Capital Unit, it has been bestowed the honorific prefix of Royal, with its State Troopers addressed with such prefix. The Nauzican Brigade is itself an old Imperial Houseguard from the era of the Johannian Empire, though weathered by time, it once served as the Praetorian Guard of the Emperor. While the Black Dragon Banner was traditionally classified as the Standard of War for the House of Alstion, it has since become adopted by the Royal Brigade as its own - per its service to the Prince of Alstion, who is themselves the King of Aaun as well. Acting Captain: Colonel John Alstion @Sebbysc THE MARNAN BRIGADE The Bull’s Head Following the end of the Heartlander Crisis which saw the Confederation of Aaun and Petra separated, the paramilitary Brigade of Marna was dissolved per new regulation. Many Marnan’s enlisted into the new State Army, and took up their old traditions within it. Since the settlement of the Alstion Exiles of Alba in the Outremont of Almaris, the Cross of Alba has been taken up by the Royal House as another one of its standards, typically in use by the Crown Princes. However, with the enfeoffment of Prince John and his subsequent establishment of the Royal Cadet of Enswerp, the Cross was in use by his Bonnie Brigade, and subsequently the Brigade of Marna. The Brigade’s garrison is located in Enswerp. Commissioned Captain: Captain Andre @Cobbler HIERARCHY OFFICER RANKS The Archmarshal, Colonel, and Captains comprise a council of officers known as ‘the Cohort’ which oversee the whole of the State Army. With considerable authority, each officer is capable of subpoenaing each other regarding dereliction of duty, or even submit majority impeachment of the Archmarshal to the Apostolic King. The Cohort convenes regularly within the Office of the Archmarshal for biannual reporting on all army affairs to maintain smooth operational functions. ROYAL ARCHMARSHAL - ARCUS LEGATAN EXERCITUS The highest rank in the Royal State Army and an active officer within the Cohort.

COLONEL OF THE STATE ARMY - PRAEFACTEN CASTORAN The Colonel typically holds penultimate seniority in the Army and makes executive decisions in the absence of the Archmarshal. They command formations of Brigades and are responsible for the operational perfection of the RSA. CAPTAIN OF THE BRIGADE - CENTURAN A Captain is given command of a Brigade made up of ten soldiers. They are responsible for the training, equipment, recruitment, and general administration of their Brigade. They are key players in the planning process and have responsibility for on the ground operations. SOLDIER RANKS SERGEANT - SERVITAN A Brigade typically has two sergeants, who are responsible for up to four soldiers each. They have an important responsibility for assisting the Captain of the Brigade and maintaining discipline and cohesion in the Brigade rank and file.

They are the beating heart of their Brigade and often have the opportunity to specialise their careers. Salary: 20m p/a PRIVATE - MUNIFEX All new soldiers start as Privates after they have completed basic training and have given their oath. Salary: 10m p/a BILLET RANKS Billets are best described as specialised assignments to the most capable Troopers of the Army. Below is a non-exhaustive list as provided by the Cohort.

Only a few achieved this honour whilst living, for it has generally been granted posthumously to the Martyrs of Aaun who have sacrificed their lives in the great pursuit of human excellence. ANDRIKIAN MEDAL OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Awarded for valour in the battlefield or for impeccable service during peace. The award itself is a spear head fashioned out of gold.

The decoration is a wreath made of silver. Granted tax exemptions throughout all properties within the Kingdom. ROYAL KNIGHTHOOD OF THE ORDER OF THE BLACK DRAGON Induction into the Knightly Order of the Black Dragon requires enlistment into the State Army, with exemptions to extraordinary cases. “Sometimes, when there’s a fork in the road, take it.” Captain Volker Hound of Petrus, circa 1513, before declaring Petrus for the Schismatics. CULTURE & TRADITIONS TROOPER SALUTE Amidst the inferno that was the Aevosian Coalition War against the forces of Veletz, the armies of the Covenant began the Siege of Drusco, wherein both sides fielded enormous quantities of artillery. Though the Covenant won the exchange of fire, it was not without cost. It was from this that an Aaunite artilleryman, Hans, had his battery shattered by enemy counterfire, and in his reporting to the nearest Officer, Jaramy, saluted the superior with the remnants of his mangled hand - two fingers facing outwards. From this event the official salute of the State Army is derived, called the Trooper Salute. NATIONAL ANTHEM As State Troopers of the State Army of the Kingdom, it is expected for all Enlisted and Officers to recite the National Anthem whenever called upon, typically during ceremonial events. Fatherland; “From the ruins risen newly, To the future turned, we stand. Let us serve your good weal truly, Aaun, our fatherland. Triumph over bygone sorrow, Can in unity be won. For we shall attain a morrow, When over our Aaun, There is a shining sun!” OATH OF ALLEGIANCE At induction into the Royal State Army, Recruits recite the Oath of Allegiance. Per Regimental Assembly of the State Army, State Troopers shall present Trooper salute to the Flag of the State Army, or His Majesty if they are present. "I pledge allegiance to His Apostolic Majesty, King Charles the Second, the Crown of Aaun, His heirs and successors according to law, in the State Army until lawfully released, that I will resist His Majesty’s enemies and cause His Majesty’s peace to be kept and maintained and that I will, in all matters pertaining to my service, faithfully discharge my duty. So help me God." ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY Every recruit enlisting into the State Army will undergo a period of two years of training at the Royal Military Academy of Aaun, currently situated in the Royal Capital, but later designated to be upon the prairies of Lemon Hill wherein Camp Godfrey shall be established as the centre of all army training. They are not awarded promotion until completion of their education. MANDATORY NATIONAL SERVICE All citizens of the Kingdom undergo compulsory military conscription between the ages of Fourteen and Eighteen, which also doubles as their mandatory secondary education. Cadets of both noble and common blood shall be taught the ways of Aaun, its defences, and how to further its interests. Cadets who forgo continued enlistment into the State Army after graduation are given the designation of Citizen Reservist, and will be compelled to action during times of conflict, or other crises, in means of either combat or support roles - dependent on their competencies. Foreign nationals may also choose to rescind their homeland’s citizenship and enroll into National Service as a means to achieve citizenship. THE CITIZEN RESERVIST Having been wracked with inefficient means of mobilisation, failing to fully exploit the manpower of the Apostolic Realm, the State Army, in tandem with the Crown, has begun implementation of compulsory conscription of all citizens aged sixteen and older - men and women, noble or commoner. Each Citizen is carefully tracked through documentations of the Ministry of the Treasurer, and in times of crisis, shall be called forth to duty in matters of combat or support. THE JOHANNIAN FORT SYSTEM Designed by Prince John of Enswerp, the Forts along the King’s Way, the arterial highway of Aaun, is designed in such a way to allow quick and accessible responses to raiding parties. MILITARY POLICE The State Army also doubles as the Kingdom’s law enforcement-in-lieu of any civilian agencies of such nature. With broad, wide ranging legal authority, the State Trooper acts in tandem with the Judges of the Realm to maintain the law. WAR MEMORIALS The Kingdom of Aaun is an ancient realm with immeasurable history stemming from the three sons of the Prophet Horen in the early era, the second born specifically, Saint Godwin. As such, the Realm goes to great lengths to memorialise its history, especially those who have sacrificed themselves in the pursuit of its greatness. Overlooking the western approach of Aaun upon the ruins of Stassion lies the Memorial of the Covenant, commemorating the joint victory over the Middenland, depicting a nondescript statue slaying a serpent. The Shrine of the Nauzican is another upon the King's Way near Whitespire, detailing the Martyrdom and Decimation of the Nauzica Brigade during the Defense of Haverlock. These sites are of mandatory importance to the State Army, and oft shall Troopers be sworn to service in their presence. BENEFITS Those who enlist in the State Army are entitled to exclusive benefits. Which include, but are not limited to; Subsidised housing Social mobility A basic salary The right to access all mines in the Langkette Mountains Enrollment into the Royal Military Academy and a direct path to Knighthood Regular social events Large explosions Holidays abroad “Rich men die young.” Lieutenant Dingo de Sarkozy of Abresi, circa 1448, to an initiate requesting the week’s pay. ENLISTMENT Applicants to the State Army may refer themselves to the recruitment office at the Bastille outside the western gates of Whitespire. Written applications may be sent by bird, courier or mail. The criteria for enlistment is to be at least fifteen years old, in a fair physical and mental condition, and in good standing. APPLICATION FULL NAME: AGE: LOCATION OF ORDINARY RESIDENCE: BEST MEANS OF CONTACT: (Discord name) RECRUITMENT OFFICER CONTACT LIST ARCHMARSHAL TIBER OF WHITESPIRE ( @seannie| #seannnnie) COLONEL JOHN ALSTION OF ENSWERP, Nauzican Brigade ( @Sebbysc| #sebbysc) CAPTAIN ANDRE, Marnan Brigade ( @Cobbler| #.cobbler) CAPTAIN KARL AUDEMAR OF VALFLEUR, Director of the Royal Military Academy ( @Chorale__| #Chorale_)

"The Marnantine Cause was righteous." Tiber declared, actions validated.

Within the Castle of Enswerp, Tiber mused over the latest reports of conflict - primarily occupied with Paul's death, causing him much turmoil as he rubbed away at the side of his head. Though not for long, for John and Emilio shove their way into his office with a swing of its door. The two nobles clear aside whatever Tiber had laid out upon the desk, and present to him the demands of Sir Stefan and his revolutionaries - to which he laughs abruptly, tensions finally dissipated as he slouched into his chair. He waves the paper back at two, and with certain determination, declared to them simply; "We accept these terms in whole." The Protector stands then, marching forth to inform the others, namely the rising Adrian, "The young man must be informed that he has the full support of the Brigade in the coming talks - I expect your best in the convincing of your royal brother." The Nauzican spoke to John in conclusion, destined to walk the Golden Path into a better future.

The Protector of Marna spoke then, their Brigade crossing the bridge of Saint Daniel enmasse with the banners of the Eagle and Dragon shared between. "By the grace of God, unity above all." Marna had pledged itself to see the rightful King of the Petra sat upon his throne.

With arms crossed over his chest, Tiber overlooked the River Constanz from atop a watchtower - imagining the deterioration brought upon by his drastic, yet nessecary, actions. Perhaps naively, the Elf thought itself not as a conqueror, but rather a liberator, however, he knew nevertheless that the contemporary Petrine would refuse to dispell the Wicked Witch of the West by themselves, for she permeated their society whole. Thus, did the Protector find respect in the rising of the freedom fighters, who lead their own initiatives to reform their realm. Verily, their goals were his own - himself an admirer of the late Paul Temesch - yet, in their doing so, they cursed the unity he so staunchly advocates for, declaring him an invader and ostracizing his change. He thought to himself then, the fate of such wanton recklessness, to so easily risk the lives of the likeminded that refuses all aid; for what is a Man left alone to their own device, becoming a pitiful creature of no renown that isolates themselves from the greater good. Guidance was required. An impasse did indeed form in Tiber's mind now, who raced to find a solution as he paced along his patrol. The Golden Path was ever changing, ever illusive, forever unknown, but decisions had to be made for the sake of means beyond measure; the Grand Ascension. He would address these Knights in due time, for better or for worse.

Unbeknownst to the Marnantine Protector, history was set into motion with the advent of steel clashes. Yet all Tiber could reserve to his thoughts now was upholding Unity Above All.

"Down with the traitors, up with the dragon! Unity forever!" So declared the Brigade Protector to the Golden Dragoons in Enswerp as they welcomed the Lord Chancellor of the Heartlands to their ranks.

THE BRIGADE OF MARNA The Great Heist The First Cohort of Legion Officers Captain Montelliano Prince Alstreim Marshal von Wittenbach High Pontiff Deunoro I Captain August Captain Tiber REVEALING THE LEAGUE OF TRAITORS As our Brigade forded the River Constanz in search of the Archtraitor, a detachment of our Dragoons were given other instructions. Having learned of the league of traitors in support of the Wicked Witch of the West, Renilde, it was revealed to us that the majority of the Legion of Saint Godwin had fallen to depravity, infiltrated by those who would seek to undo our Confederation. The newest Lord Marshal is a puppet of theirs even. As a preemptive raid, our forces reached Fort Ladyr upon the Hill of Drusco, what was once supposed to be the Heartquarters of the Legion, and found it barren. Our insiders permitted entry, but only cobwebs remained in the decrepit fort. We were later informed that the Legion had relocated to Vallagne, a sign of things to come - for surely the Archtraitor was planning on taking the whole of the Legion for themselves should our Confederation be dissolved. AUDENTENS FORTUNA IUVAT Yet, this only served to spur on our Brigade. We newfound determination, our Dragoons rode to Vallagne, wherein we were once more allowed entry. With members of our party serving as distractions, the next few hours were spent in the relocation of war material that could be better used in the applications of the Golden Brigade. We have deemed the Legion institutionally broken, and in need of reforms. It pains me to see our beloved Legion ruined so, realizing now that I should have simply taken charge when Marshal Wittenbach had lost his mind - perhaps much of our plights may have been remedied. No matter now; people have had enough, now we take action. We shall save our Confederation and slay the traitors. UNITATIS SUPER OMNIA

THE BRIGADE OF MARNA UNITY ABOVE ALL THE ENVY OF HOREN’S PROSPERITY When King John and Queen Catherine brought forth the unification of their realms, they did so with the intention of sharing their prosperity and ensuring the stability of the Heartland. For a time, our Union was the envy of many, a testament to the co-operation Mankind could achieve should it commit itself. Our Assembly of the Garmont flourished with new thought, and our Confederation secured its place amongst the nations of Aevos. Yet with the passage of time, the selfish reared their heads, and set themselves upon pitching our two realms against each other. Borne from jealousy, these ne'er do wells took fault with our newfound prosperity, deciding that they should be the sole recipient. And thus begins the nascent plottings. They complain of Aaun’s issues with the Legion, yet it was they that had cast them out from the Legion with their buffoonery, prompting our armed forces to falter into obscurity. They complain of Aaun’s nobility, yet it was their own who are in league with the circle of traitors. And those Petrans who remained virtuous to the ideals of the Confederation were shunned by their own liege. They spoke of unity, yet revealed to be colluding with Ravensmire to act against our Union. And when Aaun found success within Petra’s own electoral systems, they too complained, stupefied that one of our own could achieve an overwhelming majority of votes for Chancellor - for they had their own designs disrupted by the will of the people. And our fair Speaker as well faced scrutiny, earning the ire of some of his peers for being rightfully elected within the parameters of their system. Once, we believed these were idle slander, acts of envy by the unimportant, but when it was revealed to us that the Queen-Emiritus, Renilde, was the mastermind, development became far more insidious. With our unification now tethering on the precipice, we, the GOLDEN BRIGADE OF MARNA, have put plans into motion. UNBINDING OF THE DECEIVER We, the Dragoons of Marna, composed of both those of Aaun and Petra, contest any dissolution of our Confederation, and thus fight to ensure the prosperity of all Heartlanders. For it would be against the will of our GOD, the Creator, and that of his Exalted Prophets, that their unity amongst Men be shattered. Through extensive investigations, much dogged by our foes, we have revealed a plot most treacherous within the circles of Petra that lead to the apex of our sister realm. Wherein conspiring with foreign adversaries, they scheme to dissolve our union, and put Alstions to death, an effort led by Sorrel von Theonus and Bon’Ox of Krug - whomst emboldened by the archtraitor, 'Bel Aurum', the now revealed Queen-Emiritus of Petra, Renilde, known to us by way of her granddaughter, Helene. When the old witch partook in the murder of the good Count Sigismond Varoche and his beloved son Charles, we idled in our retribution, but again she schemes, and this time we shall not deny ourselves. We do hereby declare intent to save our Union, beginning with the arrest of Renilde, who shall pay the capital crime of treason. Those who ward traitors, shall see the same fate. However, those that expose these conspirators to the light of the Exalted Owyn, shall find mercy from our coming judgment. The Brigade of Marna does hereby commit the entirety of its reserves, of wealth, troops, and resources, to the cause of ABSOLUTE UNITY, wherein we sweep the traitors from the Heartlands, and establish a new provisional government together with the Chancellor de Rosius and led by our Protector of Marna under the purview of King Charles, that shall guide with a righteously firm hand so that these faults may never again inflict our people. Our actions being further affirmed by the support of those from Balian, Reinmar, Haense, those who see the blight Petra has become - our ranks now swelled with volunteers. Already our forces have crossed the River Constanz in our search for the archtraitor. Finding their residence, we entered the Valfleur Estate, and found no signs of their presence. Though in doing so, we uncovered a center of villainy, and so in emulation of the Exalted Owyn and his quest to cleanse the earth of evil, we have set torch to this den of treachery. It is our solemn promise that no innocents shall be harmed, and we lament the need for the aforementioned severities, yet dire times require drastic actions, thus we act firmly, and strike surely. We cannot allow treachery to fester more with time, so that we may be stabbed in the back once more later. Now is the time to uproot the whole system which enables these acts of sin. We shall always be for peace, yet now before it is too late, we cannot idle. Our actions shall decide our fate, words on paper are no longer sufficient. UNITATIS SUPER OMNIA
