Corone Armed Forces

Led by the Master General, the Corone Armed Forces (CAF) are the main bulk of the Coronian military power. Holding a garrison in every larger town, they are the prominent law enforcement that is supposed to wrestle any and all disturbance, foreign or domestic. However, during the times of peace, only the very essential were kept garrisoned while the rest are reassigned to more mundane duties. Still, once every year they are called back to receive one month of training in order to keep them on the edge. While their uniforms vary of their service within the ranks, they all bear the official insignia of the CAF, a feather and sword crossed on a scarlet background.

Corone Rangers

Unlike the bulk of the CAF, the rangers’ duty is full time. Their offices are carefully strategically positioned so that no part of Corone is left without their presence. They are hardy folk, stern in posture with incisive eyes, and they overlook everything that goes on in their dominion. Their skill with arms is only comparable to their trekking abilities and the nature knowledge, and though they often carry no armor, they are a force to be reckoned with, surpassed only by the Scarlet Brigade. The hierarchy in their ranks is a bit different from the usual military ranking, consisting of Marshals and Deputies that each oversee their county. They have no official uniform, but their insignia is a rifle crossed with a sword. Chances are if you are looking at this insignia that you are already in more trouble then you can handle.

The Scarlet Brigade

The Scarlet Brigade is where the best of the best go. Chosen from the finest that the Corone has to offer, regardless if they were rangers, mercenaries or just mere grunts, the Scarlet Brigade takes them under its wing and trains them even further. Though basically their task is to protect the Assembly, the Scarlet Brigade is in fact an intervention crew that is called when all other choices were exhausted. The identities of the members are unknown, they bear no insignia save for the crimson capes, but what is beneath them none lived to tell. The Brigade is not under the command neither of the Master General nor the Steward and it is unknown to the public who stands behind the elite warriors. A veil of secrecy is only amplified by the rumor that the final test of joining the Brigade is to cut your own tongue out. None can join the Brigade because it is the Brigade that chooses its members and not the other way around.

This collection of the finest warriors in the land has turned into something monstrous during the Civil War. The excellence of these soldiers wasn’t enough for the Coalition, so they called upon the necromancers to infuse these warriors with even more power. Using their dark talents, these wizards of death created a link to the underworld, trading the souls of the members of the Scarlet Brigade for additional strength. And thus the Scarlet Brigade was turned into a unit of wraiths, deadly, lightning fast and nearly indestructible. During the entire course of war so far, there have been only a handful reports of death of one of their members.

Some of those that refused to undergo the unholy metamorphosis were dispatched off, but those that managed to escape cast away their cloaks and are trying to stay under the radar. Betrayed by their masters, they swore never to serve another again and thus refused to join the Rangers.

Corone Navy

As an island nation, it is no surprise that Corone has a strong navy, especially since the Tylmerande barony makes good use of the Concordia wood in building vessels and great magnificence and durability. War galleons with dozens of guns constantly patrol the seas around the Corone shore, although they too, in the time of peace, are mostly docked and maintained. The dispute with Antioch made a rather large gap in their ranks, during the last seventy years the number of the galleons is replenished and doubled.
