THE CLAWS OF UNION
"Nel nome di Sinodo"

INTRODUCTION
The Claws of Union is a new organisation that covers guarding of the Synod and control of the Unionist Feudal levies, in other words, they are the Synodical army and guard. Any blades-man or fighter who wants to be a soldier under the Synod should strive to be a Faith Hand, which fulfil the roles of bodyguards, soldiers and event servants of the Reverends of the Synod. The Sword's Legate who leads all the Faith Hands, is also responsible as the person for summoning the Warmeet in case of mobilisation of the Synodical military. Men and women of all standing, regardless of experience are taken—so long as they can wield their weapon of choice to a basic level.
No matter what background a Hand comes from, they are always afforded extensive further training. Given the current Legate, the thoughts and philosophies of the Villiers-Eclaire are quite prevalent within The Claws of Union. The Claws are steadfast in their resolute and dedication to the Synod, sure to act as the first and last order of defence for Unionism in Regalia and elsewhere in the world.
HIERARCHY
Currently: Ser Angelo dei Marchesi.
The proud leader and commander of The Claws of Union, and General of the Synodical Feudal levies. The Sword's Legate is responsible for the entirety of The Claws of Union.
Sword's Praefects.
Sword's Praefects are the officers, junior and senior of The Claws of Union. Tasked with much of the same responsibilities as the Faith Hands, they also oversee their command. It is expected for Praefects to be experienced Holy Knights or soldiers with a particular proclivity for the faith.
Faith Hands.
Faith Hands are the stalwart foundation of The Claws of Union, the private soldier per se. They are tasked with guarding and protecting the Reverends of the Synod as well as being the soldiers of their army, and unquestionably so. They are Holy warriors of the Synod, but moreso than anything devoted servants to the Spirit. They are expected to carry out orders of the Praefects, Legate and Reverends without question and with blind loyalty to the faith.
Reverend of the House.
Currently: Non-appointed.
A ceremonial title more than anything else, the Reverend of the House is assigned to a Reverend with experience on the battlefield and is occasionally present to raise morale of the Faith Hands and offer intelligent discussion to the various officers of the Claws of Union. Whilst he has no input in the workings of the Claws, his counsel is often requested for a variety of reasons.
COMBAT DOCTRINE
The Claws of Union use tactics tried and true to devastating effect. Relentless harassment is a known favourite of the current Legate. It's often heard by peers his admiration for force concentration, shock tactics, attrition and scorched earth tactics, which very much reflects the attitude of many of the members' approach to single combat also. It is less often heard, but still true nonetheless his respect for the tactics used by members of The Black Sepulchre. Shield-walls and large flanking forces have been used in the past also, which were even demonstrated in the tournament for the right to earn the title of Legate in the first place.
