Pressing Corps

A group of soldiers with the explicit task to draft men into military service. While they also use coercion and the dream of fame and heroism, the pressing corps are feared for basically abducting young men when the Caramizian Council Army needs more soldiers.

Any family that is in debt towards the council as often described by the Copperbound Contract is able to leverage a man doing a few years of service to reduce the debt.

In recent decades, industrial companies have started to form their own form of pressing corps, to recruit, coerce or even force people into working for them - often leveraging high debt towards their reluctant workers.
