Today, class, we begin to look at the famous tactician and military writer Rev Turos. His famous work, Most Holy Warfare, helped shape the policies of the Swade Military and gives us insite into their organization. Here is an excerpt
Most Holy Warfare
....above all things, the Blademaster finds this holy and good. So it is through organization we shall find victory, and it is through victory was find glory.
Section 3: Military
Section 3.1, Command
The Army of the Swade is organized into several Warhosts. Each host is a collection of men lead by a Warlord, Warleader, or Warmaster. It is through these men of power they draw their strength and tactics.
The Warmaster is highest of all positions, he has control over all Warhosts in the Ascendancy. He is the high stratege, and he answers only to the Ascendant Master.
Below the Warmaster are Warleaders, who control specfic area's and theatre's of the Swade Military. They answer directly to the Warmaster, but have a great deal of autonomy.
Below the Warleaders are the Warlords. These leaders are the direct leaders of troops. They lead the Swordsman into battle, and gain glory not for the Ascendancy, but for themselves. They are skilled with Sword and Bow alike.
Class, as you can see, a Warhost is basically what we call armies now. There is a lot of comparisons with the modern day, because many of the current leaders draw from this text.
3.2 The Navy of the Swade
The Navy shall be lead by the Elite, the Optimum Sailors and Commanders, a school called the Moffery. The Moffs shall lead the Navy and assert Bladeist Dominance over the High Seas.
Grand Moff: The Highest of the High, these Moffs are few and far between and there have never been more than 7 at a time. Among the Grand Moffs is the Supreme Moff, who is their utmost leader, but since there is usually only one Grand Moff, he is the De Facto Supreme Moff.
Moffs: Moffs are below the Grand Moffs, and are the bulk of all superiors. With in this lower Moffdom are Moffs, Moff Commanders, Captain Moffs, and Moff Commadores. Singluar Moff is the highest ranking before Grand Moff, Moff Commander control groups of Ships over 10, Moff Commadores control Groups of Ships under 10, and Captain Moffs control the individula ships themselves.
