Alebad (Realm)/Silvae Legio

Founded by Ilsa November, Alebad's third army originally hailed from the wooded region of Vir el Mari heights, but was later based in Abaka. Roughly translated as "Forest Legion", Silvae Legio maintains a similar aim and structure of that which Ilsa employed when she served as Alebad's Paladin Primus.

Priorities

It is not the responsibility of the Paladin Primus to dictate the goals of the realm. Instead, it is the Paladin Primus’ responsibility to wield the realm’s armies in such a way as to achieve the goals set forth by the Pontifex.

That said, the history of our realm has been stained far too often with the blood of our children in the wake of looting, marauding, honor-less invaders. We would rather die fighting against such oppression and cruelty than live sitting comfortably alongside it. The future of our realm may well be written in the ink of more of our own blood, but blood that is shed in a relentless quest to restore this realm’s former glory and rightful place among the Colonies.

Time

Not every Troop Leader is able to act upon orders the moment they are issued (nor are they expected to do so). This is the reality in our medieval feudal world. For lack of a more unified system, orders must be issued based on “Server Time” as described on the BattleMaster wiki article on Time. Whenever possible, “advance” orders should be issued (i.e. effective on this future date, these are your orders). When necessary, re-communication of such orders will be the responsibility of the Marshal.

Orders

Very few orders will be “All Nobles” orders. Many will be based on location, troop combat strength, troop type, number of hours in your time pool or other factors. Some will even be specific to lieges and their aligned nobles.

Typical orders may look similar to the following: “Today is October 5th. On October 6th, all troop leaders commanding Cavalry units numbering more than 300 cs are to move to Alebad. Adopt the Line Settings described below. Please communicate your expected travel times.”

It is our hope that these changes will make orders easier to understand, follow and, when necessary, question.

Other Alebad Armies

It has become increasingly obvious that the most effective way to aid our allies and defend our lands is to maintain multiple armies and address multiple fronts. There are currently two armies within the realm of Alebad: Silvae Legio, which has historically been the smaller of the two, and the Army of Alebad. Because of its smaller numbers, Silvae Legio tends to find itself often allied with our Alowcan brethren from the south in the defense of Abaka and attacks into Oritolon held Grentzen.

Senate of Alebad

The Senate of Alebad is an excellent resource. Comprised entirely of some of the most trusted and longstanding troop leaders, they serve our realm as the main advisory board to the Council. Do not hesitate to utilize their expertise and experience.
