  1. The Black Company of Pruessen “The land of Vander is a place of extremes, only a black hand of steel can tame it, can crush it.” Lucien III, outside of Al-Wakrah with his assembled Black and White Sepulchers, 1542. The Onyx Chronicle The Black Company of Pruessen draws its origins to machinations created by the flamenist Lucien III, prior to the Emperor John Frederick’s involvement in the land of heresy that was called Vandoria. The Pontiff wished to bestow upon the land an order, based in a fortress on the Visian Frontier, which actively went out in inquisition-like fashion and put down pockets of heresy that had sprung up in the state. However, his plans were eradicated when the Empire backed the First Qalasheen Spring which would install a Pro-Canonist monarch in Vandoria. The ideals of the Black Company remained strong in the Johannian Court which resided in the great fortress keep of the former Rovins. Priestly folk, such as the late Boiendl of Felsen, and even military-minded folk such as the King John Godfrey, would keep alive the notion that a right-wing, pro-Monarch, pro-Canonist regime must be installed and maintained. However, progress towards such was vastly outweighed when the Secularist Movement gained traction in the King’s Court. In the wake of the Secularist Rise, the right-wing was beaten back into the underworkings of the Noble Estate. Liberalism and religious freedom dominated the minds of many Lords of the Vander, and the conservative ideals of religious unity and monarchism declined. In the coming decades, the King Godfrey knelt to his higher brother, Holy Orenian Emperor By-Divine-Right John Sigismund, and the Kingdom of Vandoria was ceded into the Orenian Empire. It then became the Principality of Vandoria. With this move, Godfrey also abdicated his seat to his son, called Prince Leopold, who had to regain control over the Liberalist Faction which had taken a strong root in his father’s reign. It seemed good for Leopold, who had created a Lord Paramountcy headed by one of the strongest Liberals, who still remained loyal to the Royal Estate, named Neero Sarr, until the Vailorian Assembly of Axis Powers rose and a Second Qalasheen Insurrection occurred, spearheaded by the Kharadeens, Silverblades, and their Liberal Allies. Leopold in response sought to amass an army to destroy the Qalasheen threat.With the loans of the Burgher Estate, Leopold now employs a vast collection of mercenaries in an attempt to secure the Principality from the rebels. The Black Code The Black Company is founded upon the principles of conservatism and pro-Principality. Though their current purpose is to secure Ard Ghorrock from the Qalasheen, the memory of a Horen prince ruling over a united Vandoria is still fresh in mind. They enforce Canonism and its tenets, as well as the basic supremacy of the Johannian Bloodline and the race of Man. Their mission, their founding principle, is to crush the Second Qalasheen Insurrection, its associated Heresies, and its ideals of Religious Freedom, of Liberalism. He under Payment Contract in the Company: Shall not endorse religious freedom. Shall not endorse democracy, nor Liberal Ideals as a whole. Shall not endorse the heresies of Qalasheen. Shall obey, without hesitation nor concern, the orders of their superiors. Shall not in any way shape or form question the authority of their superiors. Shall not in any way shape or form defy the authority of their superiors. Shall not in any way shape or form hold moral qualms about the acts performed to ensure the overarching goal of the Company is completed. The Black Crag, Ard Ghorrock The Bastion of Johannian Power in the South, Ard Ghorrock has been an everlasting symbol of the dominance of Conservatism in the South. At first erected as the seat of power for a Lucienist Revival, the Crag has seen many shifts in its ownership. Now, finally in the hands of a Johannian Monarch, the Crag rests upon a bloodied and tumultuous history. Beneath the spires and curtain walls lies an intricate maze of hallways and dungeons, of armories and sleeping quarters. Every stone of this castle has tasted the blood of Man and Elf alike. Behind the immense walls and above the towering mountains, the Black Company has based itself under the flowing banner of Horen. Here, the Black Company finds its seat of power and draws upon the castle for protection, armament, and housing. In a case of invasion, the Black Company will act from their seat of power called the Black Crag. The citadel overlooks a vast, rough terrain in the Black Mountains which peak above the vastly different climates of Vandoria. The wilds surrounding Ard Ghorrock are untamed and dangerous, with equally untamed savages of the hills. Alongside these hostile tribes, sit a collection of feudalities under the Prince’s sphere of influence. The Black Company is charged with the defense, and in extreme cases the subjugation, of these Crownlands. The Company and Payment Unlike other military structures of the Realm, the Prince employs an array of paid soldiery in the form of mercenaries, draftees, and sellswords as well as sworn soldiers, such as knights and bannermen already pledged to his or hes nation’s feudal system. Each soldier is delegated into his own division, yet all hoist the great Black Banner and Onyx Dragon in battle. The Captain Risen by the hand of the Prince and approved upon by the Assembly of Serjeants, the Captain has taken charge of the entirety of the Black Company and is the delegate of the Company’s will to the Prince, and vice-versa. He often is the best fighter, or most tactical, perhaps he has proven himself a charismatic leader or has won his way with his gilded finger. The Serjeants (Payment varies) Those who command their own Lance. The Serjeants have entered into the company’s service either with a band of their own or having proven themselves as capable and dedicated leaders to the cause. These men have the ability to bear their own standard, yet are expected in battle to follow the Captain’s Will and hoist the black above all. Distinguished serjeants who lead large lances will receive larger stipends and land to house their lances. They receive a 400 minas minimum stipend every Saint’s Week for the lance, (Varies based on size and other factors) are responsible for organizing payment and properly organizing the purchase of lance’s equipment. Actual payment for the lance’s services varies from lance to lance. Man-at-Arms (Payment left to Serjeants) The Man-at-Arms are equipped with a suit of armor, both for cavalry and for their excursions on foot. Each is delegated into a commanding Serjeant’s Lance, who will see that they are horsed and trained for combat in the field of battle. The Man-at-Arms receives regular pay, distributed by their Serjeants. The Man-at-Arms can rise from Footmen at the request of their own, or of a superior. Footmen (200 Minas Each Saint’s Month, Varies Based on Service) Individual mercenaries, sell-swords, draftees, etc. The Footmen are those infantry who’ve not been recruited by a Serjeant into their own band nor entered within a band of its own. They often are the newest, less experienced members but others are veteran, lone wolf mercenaries. They receive half a Saint’s month salary up front. The Condottieri System The Condottieri System is one not seen in the Modern Realm of Man. Tracing its tradition to merchant cities and republics who sook not to levy their own citizens to war, the Condottieri utilizes professional soldiery in opposition The Prince, in an effort to levy a mass of fighting men in a minimum amount of time, offers benefits to commanders with three or more men. He enlists the commander as a Serjeant, who will receive representation in the Assembly of Serjeants, and the Serjeant is granted his own Lance, a squad of mounted soldiers at his command. The Assembly of Serjeants, comprised of each Lance’s commander, has the ability to, in the case of the Captain’s resignation, death, or deposition by the Prince, convene and elect a candidate for the Prince to approve or vice-versa. The Condottieri System also comprises over individual mercenaries. If a group of mercenaries, each hired individually, are deemed worthy enough or request to be grouped together as a Lance, one will be appointed as Serjeant. Individual mercenaries can rise to Serjeant via election, influence, service… or other means. Uniform by Rank: * Captain * + Serjeant + ~ Man-at-Arms ~ - Footman - Footmen have the option of bearing their own garb, as they are technically individually employed and serving.
