The Duchal Army of Virovenes Elite(DAVE)

Created by Duke Cato De La Fere of Muspelheim, Kaiser of Virovene, after Virovene's secession from Springdale, DAVE is a reincarnation of Duchal Army of Muspelheims Elite or DAME. It is Virovene's only army and more than enough protection for the small realm.

A notable feature of DAVE is the DAVE Strike-Force (D-SF). Considered an elite wing of DAVE, it never has more then 4 members, including the D-SF Commander. Under the command of the Vice-Marshal, D-SF allows far more flexibility through allowing a few select nobles to split from the main army and complete orders for which a measure of independence is required.
