387YE Summer Solstice Military Council orders
=============================================

Overview
--------

The Military Council is the gathering of Imperial generals and admirals. Individually, the generals have responsibility for the orders given to the Imperial army under their command, while the admirals provide the orders for the navies. A general commands a single Imperial army, drawn from volunteers from their nation. Once a general is given their command, they have sole authority to order the army to move or attack as they choose. After each summit, the Civil Service quickly circulate the orders each general has given among Imperial citizens, allowing military unit captains to decide if they wish to commit their own force to support an army, and if so which army to support.

During the Summer Solstice 387YE, the following orders were submitted by Imperial generals.

The Brass Coast
---------------

The Brass Coast have three armies: Burning Falcon, Fire of the South and Red Wind Corsairs. They can support three armies.

### Burning Falcon

General: Aracelis I Erigo Orders: For season we have fought in the coast but we are One Empire and the Marches call for help to heal a wound. The Brass Coast do not forget what has been written. We do not forget the aid given to us. I do not forget my friends. Mournwold will be whole by fire and friendship, Freeborn and marches walk with us and see loyalty given to our Empire. Action: Triumphant Charge in Mournwold Enchantment: Deltoro Coven, The Glass Mantle, The Tempest Flame and The Verdant Path enchanted the Burning Falcon with Knights of Glory.

### Fire of the South

General: Vincente i Zayden i Guerra Orders: I am no stranger to marching across the Empire to aid our allies. As my last orders as general, I ask us to raise our banners as we head to Sarangrave. First we head east to the Barrens and enter through Turan Flats. There we will face an unfamiliar foe, the Druj. They will feel the fire that burns deep in the heart of the Freeborn. They will be blinded by our brilliance as blades flash in a Fury. They will be broken as the fire of the south burns a passion for life to surpass their hatred for it. In Virtue. Action: Forced March to Sarangrave Enchantment: Voices of the Unbound Storm enchanted the Fire of the South with Knights of Glory. Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.

### Red Wind Corsairs

Board your vessels, raise your sails. The children of Wrecks will regret their folly. Freeborn, Get in the Boat! Action: Take to the Land/Sea in Sarvos Enchantment: Concordium of Pallas enchanted the Red Wind Corsairs with Bound by Common Cause.

Dawn

### Eastern Sky

General: Dame Aurum De Castellan Orders: O Sky, You know how I long to speak those words that are forbidden - as do we all. Not with hatred in our hearts but Loyalty on our souls. So I'll offer an alternative. I despise the Druj. I dedicate myself to crushing them underfoot. I challenge you henceforth: deny them their fear. Watch them squirm with their inability to terrify the masses and let them fall into the abyss. Laugh in their faces, make merry whilst they expire. In turn, raise your blades to defeat the innocent and teach them these same ways. Then, sound the triumphant charge in Jaramir Ostcayn Kostkas name, beloved general of the East and esteemed Sarangrave Sweeper. And Dindrane - I very much look forward to our reunion. You and your elfin knights burn bright but can they outshine the Sky? We'll see you soon Summer-friend. Nova Aurora! Forward!

Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.

### Golden Sun

General: Lord Daemon Mortére Orders: The time has come. The golden sun will rise from Astolat. I said when we left Therunin the sun will always stand where the Empire needs us most. The Empire needs the Sun to fight once more in Therunin. This time we are called to fight the horrors of the vallorn. Let our march sound like a drumbeat of Loyalty throughout the territories of the Empire. We will meet the Wolves of War and make our Grinding advance into Peakedge Song. The Troubadours will tell the tale as knight and bravo pay the cost for this Empire. Where Glory and Death Entwine. Action: Grinding Advance into Therunin Enchantment: Nations Guard enchanted the Golden Sun with Why Sulemaine Walked Away From The Baker. Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.

### Gryphon's Pride

General: Ser Guy of the Twisted Rose Orders: Soldiers of the Pride! The next stage of my brother general Jaromir begins with us. Saragrave's fate rests with us. The great god beast of the lake of Kroll falls to us! You are knights and Champions of Dawn and sometimes, a knight must slay a monster. Destroy these idolators and their eight-limbed deity and bring me your tales of its demise. Then your next task begins. Papa Otec's boon fades in Nesustak, but I answer the challenge he has set for us. Protect the innocent. Let those who can run, run. Let those who can hide, hide. Those who can fight, Push the Line. Save your glorious wrath for the slave masters of the mallum. We were born anew six years ago as a conquering army - Now it is time to prove it. Action: Push the Line in Sarangrave Enchantment: Voices of the Unbound Storm enchanted the Gryphon's Pride with Knights of Glory. Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.

### Lions of Adelmar

General: Dame Katelyn Quinnell De Cordraco Orders: Our lions of Adelmar, last season you wore your hearts courageously and charged deep into the Druj. Your strength saved over a thousand Imperial lives. Now, after facing off against 20000, we steel ourselves to beat back 100000 more, and the results will be the same. Our shields will be the wall. Our physicks and war witches the grace in the face of horror we the hands to protect the innocent and save lives. We. Do. Not. Break.

Show our loyalty, our vigilance, by permitting them to perform their task unhindered by the attacks of the Druj. They will close the door; with our courage we shall hold it closed. Action: Strategic Defence of Sarangrave Enchantment: Voices of the Unbound Storm enchanted the Granite Pillar with Knights of Glory. Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.

### Seventh Wave

General: Melkior of Balthazar’s Vineyard Orders: Dear soldiers of the wave, these will be my last orders as your general. It has been the honour of my life to serve as your leader, and to have my words backed so excellently by your blades. We seized the Aerie, we parleyed with Ehsan, we took Mareave, we pushed Ayereed, we strode across the Empire to defend the Mourn, we forged kinship with the marchers, and kept the Jotun on their toes in Reinos and Liathaven. You are exemplary and I am so proud. For this summer season, resupply in Casinea, but I call upon the best of your non-martial talents. Send your scouts and spies into Casinea. Search the very heart of our Empire for every enemy that might lurk there. Search for tulpa cults, idolators, heretics, enemy espionage and anything your Vigilance sees fit. I don't ask for conclusions, but my last request is that you provide my successor with leads. Thank you all and fight on in light and in Shadow! Yours in Virtue evermore. Melkior of Bathazar's Vineyard Action: Guard the Gates in Casinea Enchantment: Concordium of Pallas enchanted the Seventh Wave with Brotherhood of Tian.

### Autumn Hammers

General: Ashborn Vana Orders: Hammers, this season we pull back to Mitwold. Although our bonesetters and smith will be binding wounds and repairing armour, the rest of us will not be idle. We call upon the contracts with Prospero to seek mana with legionnaires in good health. Keep your shields close and eyes on the borders with Vigilance. If the Jotun come, they will not find us lacking. Action: Arcane Consolidation in Mitwold Guerdon: Military units supporting this army will not be rewarded by the Imperial Senate.
