The Caerwynite Army

The Caerwynite Army is the main protectorate force for the Empire. It's divided into a few main factions: a navy, an infantry, special operations, and Battlemages.

Structure

Infantry & Navy

Wartime Organization

During wartime, the infantry and navy of the Caerwynite Army is made up of a number of ranks organized into hedges, cauldrons, and daemons, all organized under the Pandaemonium. Military men and ships are called to serve, through a paid draft - the owners of all conscriptable navy ships are paid a yearly draft and maintenance fee and all eligible conscripts (Empire citizens over 18) are paid to maintain a set of armor and weapons during peacetime. The infantry and navy conscripts can be called on at any time by the High Arcanist or High King and the High Arcanist maintains a council of 13 Daemon leaders to advise in military matters.

Hedges

Hedges are the smallest unit in the Caerwynite Army, comprised of 13 soldiers. Those 13 soldiers are led by a Hedge Witch/Wizard.
In the navy, a ship usually holds three hedges which all work together.

Cauldron

Cauldrons are made up of 13 Hedges, led by an Cauldron Leader.
A Navy cauldron is usually made up of four ships led by a single bannership with a single navy hedge on it.

Daemons

Daemons are a collection of 13 Cauldrons, led by an Arcanist.
A navy daemon is made up of 13 cauldrons, led by a flagship with an Arcanist Admiral as captain.

Pandaemonium

The Pandaemonium is a collection of 13 Daemons, led by the High Arcanist.
The navy Pandaemonium is led by the High Arcanist, though at times he may appoint a Admiral to lead in times of war.

Special Operations

Unlike the infantry and military, the special operations unit of the Caerwynite military are smaller and maintained at all times. There are 13 special operations Cauldrons which are made up of 13 powerful wizards, top-teir fighters, and specially trained infiltration units. Each Cauldrons also train 13 groups of recruits to replace them after 13 years of service, ensuring recruits are well-trained and fresh-faced.

Battlemages

The Battlemages are a highly-specialized group of Practical magicians trained in the art of war who practice high-level battle magic, often to support troops or units on the frontlines, lobbing massive fireballs at enemies under siege or casting large scale protection spells over huge swaths of infantry.
