The Digmaan Azulon began with the titanic Zzhao Cro-Azulon in the year 261 A.C. on the twenty second morn’ of the eleventh month. In the beginning the Digmaan was not yet a Digmaan, but with Cro-Zzhao himself, being the third of a Cro-Allar blood lineage, originating with a Cro-Allar named Azulon, whom Zzhao named his Digmaan after in future years. Cro-Zzhao was thoroughly trained by a Cro-Allar, referred to as Cro-Ozzulon, who had preceded him, and left a major imprint on the culture of the Digmaan. This is what led to the militaristic and traditionalist nature of Digmaan Azulon. During the years of the Chrysant war was when the Digmaan finally formed as an entity, initially consisting of only Cro-Zzhao and his regiment of one thousand loyal Allar, the Digmaan acted as a regiment beneath a general’s lead during the war, they set up in Rosh-Akkhar, acting as the cities’ defense against invading forces, the group of Field generals that acted with the Digmaan were brilliant minds but could not hold the line for much longer. Inevitably it ended with the Digmaan Azulon, acting as the last regiment with a leader who had not yet been defeated, but inevitably suffered a great loss that day. With the end of the Chrysant war, like many Digmaan and Cro-Allar within Hadar, the Digmaan Azulon surrendered, and Hadar returned to some sort of normalcy. The Digmaan Azulon as a group is not one for spite, as shown in their respect for the empire after their significant loss in the wars. The Digmaan then began to slowly remuster members, and move its base of locations to Regalia, where it temporarily acted directly under the Digmaan of Yaotl, before declaring itself once again the Digmaan of Azulon. The Digmaan’s culture is strictly Allar traditionalism, with mild integration of new-regalian imperialization. This leads to allar within the Digmaan either sticking to the stereotypical nature of allar fashion, or leaning into some of the more conservative clothing of new-regalian nature, this is notable rather uncommon however, on the note of fashion members of the Digmaan typically wear an insignia with the eyes that are shown on the banner engulfed by flames to represent their allegiance to the Digmaan. But building on New-Regalians, they will not be inherently welcomed by all members they are typically well respected enough, especially those of the peerage, guards, or military commanders. Digmaan Azulon actually has three preferred styles of combat, being: Mu-Allar spear combat, Sa and Cro unarmed combat, and Mu-Allar scale blade technique. These three specialized forms of combat are all heavily utilized by those within Azulon, and it's forces, and on Allar culture, the Digmaan is extremely against scaglings. The Digmaan culture is notably inclusive of Sendrassian folklore, especially regarding the many beasts that reside there, such is the explanation for the Digmaan's representative animal. The God Slayer, as it is referred to in allar folklore, now known as the Sendrassian Long Maw Sauron. The flag also carries the Digmaan colors, deep crimson red, a soft orange crossed mildly with gold, and explicit inclusion silver and white. The Digmaan politically acts as an extremely militaristic entity, with extensive reaches for scientific development. It leans into Ailor conservative political views with noticeable amendments. The Digmaan is inherently unionist, with draconic unionism, and dragon worship that acknowledges the existence of a spirit accepted quite thoroughly as well. The Digmaan however does not tolerate Void Worship, and such Void Worshippers will be expelled from the Digmaan immediately. The Digmaan notably has inherent allegiance to the Qar-Digmaan of Yaotl, however only by extension, and more directly places its loyalties into the state. The Digmaan does in fact defer from the states warfare tactics though, preferring traditional allar strategies that are specific to each subcaste which combine together to form unstoppable forces. The Digmaan is strictly against aberrancy outside of courtly mages and Es-Allar, and will advocate for action against the aberrancy threat which unfortunately flourishes within both the archipelago and the city, stating simply that if they are not with the state they are against it. The Digmaan is very unfond of the idea of surrender, holding an unyielding will to fight until the last Allar standing; however, during warfare will act merciful once the enemy has been pushed to the brink of collapse, but only when on the brink of collapse will the unrelenting assault end. Digmaan Azulon is all for unconventional warfare such as alchemy, and is not afraid to stray away from the typical way to defeat an enemy. It is also extremely strict on caste occupation, believing that if you are serving outside of your caste you are failing your society as a whole. On the Soor Rasa allar the Digmaan's relations to where it hails from are rather null, if nonexistent to an extent. Digmaan High Officialdom Digmaan The head representative of the Digmaan, who has absolute rule and authority over all Allar within the Digmaan. Nash-Avaq A position granted to only the most trusted of Es-Allar exclusive to them, it is second only to the Digmaan, and in the event the Digmaan is not present they act as leaders. Lazzai A position on equal ground with the Nash-Avaq, except it is available to all subcastes. Digmaan Officialdom Rhax The ceremonial guard of the Digmaan who act as captains to the guard should one exist, this position is considered very prestigious. Arbiter The Digmaan’s political advisors and diplomats, they will assist the Digmaan and act as essentially second brains to defog the haze that is politics. Undercro A position exclusive to any Cro-Allar within the Digmaan, this is just beneath the Rhax in power and will typically serve similar requirements to the Rhax. Cro-Allar who are of blood relation, or adopted by the Digmaan directly are granted access to noble or aristocratic privilege. In essentiality you become a member of the Azulon line directly, this is a very rare occurrence however. Krallok A position for Es-Allar below the Nash-Avaq, typically treated with similar respect, but with less legitimate power. More or less advisors to the Digmaan. NOTE - I will be very scrutinous of who I allow to play a direct relative of the Digmaan. Azulon Relative Username: Planned Character Name: Character Explanation: Of what relation to Cro-Zzhao would they be?: Why you would like to play the character?: Why are you a good choice for the position?: What is your experience with the noble system?: Roleplay Weakness and Positive?: General activity?: Mutes, bans, or jails?: Digmaan Member Username: Character Name: Character Application: Mutes, bans, or jails?: Roleplay Weakness and Positive?: General activity?: IC meetings are preferred, as they allow me to get a feel for how you roleplay the character, I am much less scrutinous about members of the Digmaan.
