The Crucible Guard

The Crucible Guard is ostensibly a military organization dedicated to protecting the interests of the Order of the Golden Crucible, but it has taken a proactive role on the battlefield recently. Working with elements of the Ordic military, the Crucible Guard allows Ord to project strength beyond its borders without openly declaring war. Though lacking the numbers of a national army, the organization possesses advanced mechanikal and alchemical resources, putting it on a level playing field even when faced with a numerically superior foe. Generals of other nations who attempt to calculate Ord’s military strength must always account for this “officially unofficial” element of the kingdom’s defenses.
