Yzel Military
Overview
The military of Yzel has been an organization since the founding of the kingdom in 110. Originally, they were controlled by various nobles and each city that came together to form the Yzel Kingdom controlled their own forces. After the country was united, these troops were still mostly under the control of whatever noble ruled their homeland. It was not until the formation of the centralized monarchy in 450 when Elise Oida took control of the country from the nobility after the Second Great War Losing the Daji forces cost the military a good deal of strength and they spent the next fifty years rebuilding and recruiting to fill the loss of those troops. This has left the main military very distrustful and resentful of the Daji. In modern times, the military acts as both a civilian police force and defense against foreign adversaries, particularly the Eoion Empire. After the Peace of Mie in 1043, the military's main function has become a peacekeeping force. Specifically, they are very attuned to the needs of their navy to keep their superiority in the seas.Divisions
