Righteous Brand

The  is the military of the Dwendalian Empire. They wear plate mail with a silver and dark-crimson design.

Organization
It was told at the Harvest Close Festival that if someone joined the military they got a good wage of one gold per day at the start with the posibility to rise in the ranks and receive raises. A soldier would also be fed, given housing, receive all the equipment they would need, and would experience glory as they would be able help to keep the Dwendalian Empire safe.

Those that signed up with the military were brought to train in Bladegarden and after a period of training there, one had a minimum of three years service they had to put in before they could decide to stay or not. Desertion from the military was illegal and brought with it imprisonment and fines.

While the Righteous Brand outnumbers the Kryn military, the Kryn can use underground passages to strike in small numbers almost anywhere in the Empire. Thus, during the war against the Kryn Dynasty, King Bertrand Dwendal stationed Righteous Brand at all known cavern entrances in Dwendalian territory. [ Righteous_Brand_Shield_b.png
