Perigord Military

Organization' '

While ultimately, the Count is in charge of Perigord's military, it is run by General Jurmund. It divides into two parts - the Lyrivur Guard lead by Captain Aerild the Fair and Perigord Army that is under the command of Captain Anton Ascon.

Ranks

General --> Captain --> Lieutenant --> Sergeant --> Footman/Guard

Outposts

The army has barracks in all three settlements, always maintaining a strong presence in case of attacks. There is a fortress in Ellon, barracks in the Wythorp Watchtower and a camp next to the Frawold mine.

Recruitment

While serving in the army is voluntary and a job like any other, at times of need the Count may call upon his citizens to come to the defense of their home. Therefore, every able-bodied Perigord inhabitant takes part in annual training camps to keep the sword arm ready. The last such call was but ten years ago during the Siege of Hydale by a neighbouring county's rebel army. The tower has since been re-claimed.

Uniforms

The Perigord Army standard uniform consists of a leather armor with a yellow cloth on the right shoulder to distinguish between them and the enemies, a short-sword or an axe and a hide shield carrying the coat of arms of Count Hawtrey - a plains wolf on black background. The Lyrivur Guards wear distinctive green cloaks over the reinforced vest and wield swords and wooden shields with the symbol of the city's guardian deity, Eraricai.
