The Royal Military of Zygethia

Under the leadership of the Royal Marshal, the military is the most important function of the government, and secures the existence of our rule for generations to come. Under the protection of these loyal men and women, the society of Zygethia can flourish, and so it is in this light that military service and being a veteran of this Royal Military secures respect and honour no other kingdom can provide.

 

Zygethia will be made up of three armies each headed by a general, each containing three regiments lead by a Brigadier and this series of threes will be a reoccuring theme down the chain. The amount of armies will depend upon the size of the challange and the number of soldiers under our control. The lower rungs of the chain are made up of two distinct groups, Huscarls and Fyrd, each representing soldier ranks and milita ranks respectively. A further breakdown of the chain of command will follow.

 

 

The Royal Marshal

~ spot is still open ~

The Royal Marshal is the leader of the entire Military Branch and will answer directly to the king himself. It's under his or her leadership that the macro strategy for the nation will be developed and react as we advance outward. All Generals answer to their commands and all generals will go to the Marshal for assisstance or qualms. 

 

Generals

The military of Zygethia is headed by a series of generals. The number and type of generals depends on the severity of the challanges we face and the size of our army as a whole. A general will lead one of each of the three armies. 

 

Brigadiers

Within each army is a series of three regiments, each regiment is lead by a brigadier. These men, under the command of generals, will lead their regiment which will be made up of three warbands.

 

Lieutenants

Each warband is led by a Lieutenant, and each of these warbands will consist of three units. 

 

Huscarl and Fyrd Commanders

Huscarls each lead a unit, likely representative of a geographic location but this is not required. These units are made up of 9 men. Fyrdman are milita commanders who are not representative of the royal army but will join the army for their own indepent reasons, whether defensive or in search of honor.

 

Soldiers and Fyrdman

Soldiers and Fyrdman make up the meat of the Zygethian forces. Soldiers are usually first born sons of houses and families who volunteered in service to the King for their families honor, although some houses of exceptional honor and valiance make it their duty to service many soldiers in the ranks of the military. Fyrdman are the milita men who, although situational, are called to battle in the name of their land and have joined the ranks of the army for their own cause, whether that be to defend their lands or to satisfy some other motive all together.

 

 

Enlisting

While the game has not yet started, all members of the government, this includes economic and administrative branches, will be considered a Fyrd, or member of our milita. It's in this structure that you can show yourself worthy before launch and all will be given equal chance to rise through the ranks of our great military. Specific members of alternate branches can be excluded, such as skilled crafters and scientists.

 

The best way to get in contact with our members is through our Discord Channel.

 

 

 

Mercenaries

In times of great need or when their services are unique and not yet a part of the Royal Military it may be required of the kingdom to sponsor mercenary groups or sellswords. These groups do not fall under any command other than the Royal Marshall and their representatives. It's in this light that such groups contact the leadership of the Royal Marshall if they deem that they can provide a service for hire worthy of sponsorship.

 

The actions of these groups do not reflect directly on the Royal Military Branch of Zygethia and are of a separate command, it is in this light that we shall not be judged for their deeds and their reputation only speaks for themselves.
