The Drachenburg Officer Corps
QwJtfsY.png
The Drachenburg State Officer Corps is the leadership hierarchy of the Imperial State Army led by Field Marshal Dietrich von Drachenburg. From supporting tacticians in the command tent to the front line field officers leading the regular troops, each member of the retinue serves a key purpose to the Field Marshal, ensuring success in the battlefield and glories to be granted afterwards.

Members of the corps are privy to confidential information regarding planning stages and tactics and have the ability to determine the course of action for the army. Some more experienced officer may even serve as an advisor during meetings of the Marshal Cabinet, where they may whisper advice to the Field Marshal to use in discussing the overall military campaign. Finally, retinue members may even outshine their superior officers in the battlefield, earning glory and prestige as they do so.

Letter to General Von Drachenburg's:

Dear General Von Drachenburg's,

I am Takashi Homura, however I prefer to be called Asahi Homura. I am considering in joining your Retinue. So I am taking the liberty of writing a personal letter directly to you. I was hoping you would take consideration of having me to work for along your side. It would give me great honor to me in a personal level.

In battle experience, I always worked as a Mercenary as a group in the Farah'deen. I eas given jobs as working for soldiers or being bodyguards. My tatics for fighting are lethal when it comes to defending someone at all cost. It would usually end a fight with a bloody bath. The main reason is that I always carried a Khopesh with double edge dagger. Many doesn't expect me to carry such a small blade when it comes to a long edge sword. In regalia, I used to work as a noble house guard for Lord Viduggla. I then join their Warden for a short time. Until I quit unexpectedly to leave to Farah'deen for a funeral. I stayed in Farah'deen for a while until I decided to travel to Shi-Yao-Lan, hoping that someone my race could teach me soemthing that my races traditionally learned.

The weapons I own currently are a Dao. It's a safer sword to use if I don't want to inflict many damage on people. It's the perfect sword for the public since it won't create much damage on a body. It's a downgrade from a kopesh that i once owned. However, I also own a Katana for any lethal reason. I took all my savings to travel to Far East and own a katana. The sword wasn't easy to acquire for me, since this sword can jab through armor and it was also expensive. But the only time I used it, is when I fought a Songaskian General and a rogue Soldier. I carry the sword still, but I'm unsure if it is wise for me to carry it along the Retinue. Finally, I carry several double edge dagger made from the Far East. These daggers were taught through me during my trip Yang-Tzu Isles. Working with a shoilin, as a student for some years.

Sincerely,
Takashi 'Asahi' Hamura

Mr. Hamura,

While I commend your desire to serve in my staff corps, I regret to inform you that such an action is impossible. While skilled warriors such as yourself will always find a suitable place with the rest of the state troops, my staff retinue is intended to be filled with men who have previous experience commanding a large number of troops under their banner, or those who have a specific skill set that the tacticians can make use of.

I would welcome your assistance in the volunteer corps when the Imperial Marshal announces such, and believe your combat prowess would serve the state best there. Though if you desire more, I suggest contacting Field General Viduggla given your service to his house. He may be able to provide what I am unable to.

Whichever decision you make, may the Imperial Spirit guide and support you in it.

Regards,
Field General von Drachenburg
Baron of Drachenwald and Alexanderburg and all titles thereunder
Field General of the Regalian Army

General Dietrich Von Drachenburg,

Your finest Field Commander, Audric Kraus, has noticed my loyalty to the Empire. He has offered me a position as a Field Officer, and I am not only physically prepared for this position in your ranks, but mentally too. I've served in my younger days as a foot solider, though as the days pasted by, my love for our Great and Holy Empire only grew as well as my skill with a horse.
I will keep this short as I know you are a very busy man. Please take me into your ranks, and let me fight and lead men into battle once again.

Spirit's Blessing,
Thaddeus Jude.

updated the thread with a roster listing
 
To The General Dietrich Von Drachenburg,
I am writing you to apply for a position as a scout under your banner in your Officer Corps. I have combat training and use my claws as a Varran, hunting experience that I've been in practice for for the better part of the last two decades, and stealth training along with it, as well as much experience in the wilderness and how to be aware of my environment. I had worked under you for a mission once before some months ago, and I hope you consider my application today.

Dear General von Drachenburg,
I wish to put my experience on the battlefields to good use under your name. If you deem me fit, please come seek me out in person to speak more. Enclosed is a list of my experience and my years of tutelage.

Panya-kha,

The Field Marshal
(this rank seemed to be emphasized in the letter) recalls your service in a previous mission that brought the Marshal Cabinet invaluable information pertaining to our operations. As the scouts are an auxiliary unit and will not see direct combat with the main army, he has permitted you to enter the Officer Corps in regards to planning scouting operations.

PS: The Field Marshal also insists that Imperial or other Regalian fashions be adhered to during military meetings for the sake of uniformity.

Elyon Aredeth,

The Field Marshal (with the rank emphasized in the writing) acknowledges the Truce with the Altalar Principalities and their additional support against the Dread Empire. However, he has instructed me to inform you that he will never allow a woman to hold a leadership position in any army of his, and would only consider such an action if she had a husband to shadow behind. He recalls roughly two years ago when an Imperial Army besieging Fort Bas in the Elven Heartlands mutinied against their female leadership, and refuses to make similar mistakes.

Mr. Einherjar Bovëen,

The Field Marshal (it appeared that Einherjar received extra emphasis on the rank, as if the scribe had lost it by now) recalls the competency of one General Baldur Norrvakt on the Cabinet, and therefore sees no reason to deny the Horned Stipulation. Consider yourself registered with the Scouts.

Also as a general note to everyone who reads this thread, Dietrich is a Field Marshal, and has been one for several months now. After this post, any application that uses the wrong rank will be denied. The current ranks are posted on the roster chart on the OP.
 
To the Field Marshal von Drachenburg

Your Lordship,

I write to you requesting to join your retinue as a Field Commander beneath you. You understand that I am well versed in my formal conduct and that the treaty between our Houses further explains our mutual belief in military unity. I am a twenty year veteran of the Empire's wars, beginning my career in the Chrysant War as a common foot soldier. Over the years my experience has grown and I have been able to advance in my standing to become a capable leader in my own right. At present I am appointed as the Mercenary Commander of the Empire, further proving my ability to lead the men of the Empire. Allow me to privilege to serve in the army once more.

Divine Greetings Field Marshal, I know you may not know me but let me assure you right now that I am one of the most prestige Front-line commander the Allar have to offer. I am Undercro Szeulla and I write to you a letter of application to join your Contingent of advisors. Like most Cro-Allar, I am skilled in the art of tactics, and I specialize in those of the front lines, something which I find unique to myself. I am also part of the Qar-Digmaan and am his top-general and I hope I can serve you with those skills to the best of my devices. Though do be warned, my ultimate loyalty is to the Qar-Digmaan and there is nothing to change my mind, this should be common among any allar recruit you work with or will work with in the future.

Undercro Szeulla,

The Field Marshal acknowledges that the feudal oaths are not to be taken lightly, though sees your use of the term "ultimate loyalty" to be a liability of the Imperial Military. When enlisted, our loyalty is to His Imperial Holiness, and to his appointed military hierarchy. Any change to that hierarchy breeds disunity, which spells defeat. He as such cannot accept your request, though expects to hear of Qar-Digmaan Yaotl's services in the battles to come. May you serve him well.

Damon Slumberwood,

The Field Marshal sees nothing out of the ordinary with your application, and asks you go to the Enlistment Office posthaste to register.

-Office of the Field Marshals, Regalian Military

(As an OOC note, I am aware that the Alais Bloodline is undetectable, so I am running the assumption there would be nothing out of the ordinary the recruitment office would find. Should this information become common knowledge through the guard or otherwise, I expect I'll be contacted on it and we go from there.)
 
partially a bump, partially a psa: with the proficiency changes the ranking will also be changing to fit the new lore. So if you want to utilize some of the new skills, consider joining when things get updated.
 
roster updated. I removed the field officer rank as the proficiency change makes it obsolete.

Mr. Bashshar,

The Field Marshal von Drachenburg did not take kindly to be mistaken for a weak minded fool who let his barons oust him for his own complacency. Though given your status as an aristocrat of the realm, he has decided to forgive this personal slight, with the hope that your command skill is better than your Honneurs. See the recruitment office posthaste and put in your paperwork.

I am writing to you to apply for a position as a Field Commander under you in your Officer Corps. After having spoken with a few people who sent me your way, I penned a letter. I have experience as a commander, having served in both Songaskian Wars, albeit not on the Regalians side. This hopefully is not an issue as my loyalty now lies within the Empire and the Holy Spirit. I am trained using a spear as well as my fists need be. I hope you consider my application and allow me to serve under you.

Mr. Kettrakh,

The Field Marshal after much deliberation has chosen to accept this application. He expressed hesitation in regards to your services against the Empire in the Far East, though permits entrance so long as your loyalties remain with the one true ruler of Aloria, Alexander I. Do this, and your services will be welcomed. Enlist at the nearest recruitment office posthaste.

I am a man of the Angle Veer who has trained in the State School in the art of war, primarily in the command of regiments. In fact, I already command a regiment of mercenaries who would be more then willing to convert to soldier work if given the chance. In many ways I would consider myself a traditionalist, but not unwilling to adapt when the need arises. I've heard many great things about you and it would be an honor to serve alongside you.

[!] The following is given to the Imperial Marshal's office, sealed with a Dragon breathing fire emblem.
To the Field General within the Imperial Marshal Army,

I have been speaking around with those in the Allar District and I had heard of the Imperial Marshal's army, so I wish to seek you out for a meeting to discuss potentially adding not only myself, but my Regiment that I currently lead. I am skilled with a blade as well as leading my Regiment with not only strict rules, but to adopt strategy and plan for battles. There is not much I can say on my letter, but I do hope you are able to make room to speak with me.

With best wishes,
