The Hooded Lanterns
Formally known as the 4th Provisional Expeditionary Force to reclaim the Capital, the Hooded Lanterns are an irregular military drawn up from veterans of the Civil War and remnants of the old Drakkenheim City Watch. Led by the dour Lord Commander Elias Drexel, they wage a guerrilla war against the monsters, bandits, and scavengers who have taken root in their nation’s capital. Each has pledged their swords and lives to rebuild Drakkenheim and restore the Realm of Westemar. Several noble houses have set aside their feuds to support the Hooded Lanterns’ efforts. These families believe once the city is restored, evidence will emerge revealing the true heir to the throne of Drakkenheim... or enable a cunning house to seize the crown.

Company Roster
The Hooded Lanterns are organized into a regiment of five companies, making up a total force of approximately one thousand soldiers plus their support staff, orderlies and crew. Each is led by a captain and two lieutenants, and each has a distinct role.- Scount Company. Intrepid infiltrators who take dangerous reconnaisance operations into the city centre. Led by Captain Raine Highlash.
- Garrison Company. Protects the established holdings of the Hooded Lanterns such as the Watchtower, Shepherds Gate, and Drakkenheim Garrison. Lead by Captain Jackob Slovak. The Garrison operates at double strength since these soldiers must be constantly rotated to prevent them from becoming contaminated.
- Vanguard Company. These experienced Shock Troops carry out offensive operations against priority targets, lead by Captain Ansom Lang.
- Reserve Company. A reserve force mainained outside the city composed of new recruits and aging veterans charged with maintaining supply routes.
- Royal Guard. A special unit activated only if the Hooded Lanterns discover a royal heir. This small unit is composed of Veterans handpicked by the Lord Commander for trustworthiness and skill.
Peace
The Lanterns will often sell to the Ameythyst Academy any delerium they encounter in exchange for supplies and potions to keep going. Elias Drexel detests they're made to pay to help the city.
