"Makes sense, I suppose - it'll be for the better in the end, ja? Time for the Church to take back its authority, God willing." Waldemar says to his fellow Reinmaren whilst working the fields, nodding along in agreement of his distant kin's Churchly proclamation.

Waldemar the Stout spits to the side, clearly unamused by the formalization of relations with brigands and ne'er-do-well within Haense - especially ones with no qualms subverting the Kingdom's laws. "The Barutherstum complex is truly insidious." He mumbles along as he sticks a straw of wheat between his teeth, continuing his harvest in Reinmar.

"Less talking, more raiding." says the stoutly Waldemar of Waldenia to his lordly Barclays.

Charlie Charles scratched at the back of his head as he pondered upon the deeper meanings of the missive presented before him. He turns to his father, Leopold, with a brow raised, "I believe His Imperial Highness' words are being twisted somewhat inadvertently - I assume this will bother the Hyspian nationalists, they always seem eager to bit their teeth into anything available." The Alstion continued with a shrug, glancing out the window of their home in Atrus, "Suppose some further words would help alleviate some concerns."

The Knights of Ildan Order of the Comet Orda-Arcus (Knightly Order) Orda-Arcesyn (Order Headmaster) The Knights of the Comet, otherwise known commonly as the Ildan Knights, are a splinter faction derived from the Holy Adonian Order when it was founded in times immemorial. What can be gathered in texts and other classical banks of knowledge, describe an ideological fracture between the founding members of the Order, specifically against Adon of Illian’s centralization and worshiping, and those who would rather maintain Old Illian’s concept of peace and decency. However, as unprepared pacifists are so susceptible to subversions, the de facto leader of the dissenting Knights hailing from the ancient land of Ildan were vanquished and scattered across the wastes - thus cementing Adon’s rule and imbuing the forlorn exiles with a sense of guarded determination. Were it not for these early Knights, the true inheritance of the Ideals of Illian would have been lost; a miraculous recovery was made upon the discovery of the Arcas Silmanas, an ancient wonder from the times of the first appearance of Adon’s Comet - which can be best described as some sort of ruined metropolis, by modern standards. Within these crumbling walls did the Knights of Ildan find rejuvenation, and affirmation of their duty, its ranks and stockpile replenishing as the decades crept on. The Illian Code first permitted unrestricted Knightly service to those in requirement, regardless of national affiliation, The ensuing generations gave rise to the Order’s reputation as champions of the peoples, oft found rescuing the downtrodden and ensuring stability wherever possible - the Arcas Silmanas became a hub of all things Knightly, from martial arts, to philosophical understandings, as well as a burgeoning population. The Oath of Silmanas further cemented the defense of the common people into the legalities of the Order, which now made it its primary identity. Now fully operational, the Order has begun deploying in full force, dedicated to their cause. Arcesyn Ildemar of Maevryn Headmaster Ildemar is considered to be the 68th Knight Master of the Order of the Comet according to lore. Considered the natural successor of the late Master, by virtue of merit and prowess, Ildemar was unanimously voted to the position a decade ago and has yet to ruin any expectations. The Order’s ambitions and capabilities have long expanded since, with knightly patrols finding land once unreachable. With the prospect of trade flourishing over new land routes, Headmaster Ildemar has made it his immediate mission to ensure the safety and success of such, and has begun seeking out local merchantry to establish such. Unique Military Units (One): Knights of the Comet Possibly the most formidable infantry to grace the earth at this moment, the Ildan Knights are clad in ancient technology commonly known to most as ‘Exo’, which accentuates one’s strength and endurance, allowing a Knight to be outfitted in the finest of armor without being at a disadvantage of tremendous weight. Due to the ancient frame’s resilience, the Knights have also forgone any sort of secondary weapons, such as shields, and instead present themselves with lengthy greatswords capable of splitting a man in twain at full exertion. Such formidable equipment is not given to any oaf picked up from the streets, and even if they were, one must learn the inner workings of the Exo and incorporate it into everyday movement or else struggle to even get a step forward without proper training. Those selected to wield the Exo must undergo rigorous drilling, be extensively tutored in martial arts, and undergo philosophical examination to best achieve the prime candidate - a Knight willing to lay down their life for the betterment of a new world. However, despite all its remarkable strengths, Exo suits are extremely difficult to procure, as the knowledge of their fabrication has been lost to time. The Knights of the Comet must instead go forth and uncover new sources of these technologies, no matter the cost. [Heavy Infantry, Two-Handed] National Idea (nothing strictly mechanical): The Oath of Silmanas The Idea of Ildan is dominated by a desire to create a better world, free of pain and oppression. To do so, the Knights of the Comet are often dispatched to zones of high danger, engaging the local belligerents to rescue and disperse populations incapable or unwilling to partake in such perils. Even regions undergoing severe economic depressions and famines will be tended to, as the Order calls on its international organization to alleviate whatever issues are the cause. The Oath of Silmanas is all-binding. The Vale of Ildan Home of the Arcas Silmanas A rare bastion of verdant life in an otherwise ruined world. The Vale has seemingly been shielded from the worst apocalypses history has had to offer, nestled into the mountains along the Ynn, whilst also serving as the source of two distributary rivers into the aforementioned Ynn. Whilst also serving as a bulwark to the elements, the Vale’s unique geography allows it to project far greater strength than would be normal, as any invaders would be funneled into numerous narrow channels benefiting defenders the most. The Knights of the Vale are not restricted by such choke points, as their knowledge of the mountainous terrain allows them to leave at will throughout smaller, more discreet, foot paths. Deep within the Vale the Arcas Silmanas strikes tall, an old relic of unknown origins, and blanched fully white. Any ancient technologies that could have once been found within the Tower of Silmanas has long been pilfered and plundered, rendering it solely to the primary bastion of the Order of the Comet - its interior refurbished to meet knightly demands as it looms over a growing settlement below, New Ildan.

"A humiliating defeat for the Empire - a shame the Novellens brought it to this point." Charlie Charles Alstion complained his thoughts aloud within the confines of his residence.

"Those we spare now will be the cause of lives taken in the upcoming battles - they will offer us no quarter, no matter how grand our magnanimity." Max comments with furrowed brows knitted together in apparent frustration at the matter whilst in the midst of those gathering within the Nikiralan hall. He concludes his thoughts with a sigh, crossing the Hussariyan over his chest, expression softening, "Perhaps I must balance the scales of clemency and ruthlessness for the sake of my soul, less I allow myself to be consumed by either one."
