== Divisions ==
=== Guskarls ===
The Guskarls are the Elite Fighters of Galadonn, nicknamed "The Kings Legion" they act as bodyguards and as the vanguard in armies. Their name "Guskarl" comes from the famous Gus the Great, he recieved this honour for his exceding service to Galadonn and because of his popularity with the people. In battle they are usually positioned on the very front lines and are the first troops to enter combat. The Guskarls were formulated on 12/9/2022, 
=== Galadonnian Soldier ===
The Galadonnian Soldiers are the Main profesional Army, they do all jobs in the Military and are made up of decent fighters. Their usual position is in the centre of The Army behind the guskarls so that they can follow soon after the Guskarls make first contact with the enemy. They have existed since the formation of Galadonn.
=== Levymen ===
The Levymen are peasants, bad fighters and volunteers that make up the unprofesional army. Levymens are used to hold the line rather than conquer since they aren't well equiped and have no training they also make up the majority of the Garrison of which town they live in and the reserve armies which are used to defend Galadonn if the main armies are defeated. They have existed since the formation of Galadonn.
=== Knights Of Galadonn ===
After Gus was captured by Greg, Ferol found his diary and took it to Cassius. Cassius read of the threat of Grus and believed that Grus would bring Ragnarok. As a protection against Grus, King Cassius ordered the creation of The Knights Of Galadonn. Their Sole purpose is to defend Galadonn from any threat, they are mostly defensive except from Imperium Demolitione Knights which are offensive. The Knights were formed on 18/03/2023.

=== Galadonnian Airforce (Galadonnian Police) ===
The Galadonnian Airforce (Galadonnian Police) is a small unit of enchanted trident using soldiers which are under the direct command of the king. Their responsibilities are patrolling Galadonn, sorting disputes, defending against raids, protecting citizens and apprehending criminals.Their members are Bonk Potentia (Bonk99), Wopepo (Icespicefan1) and Chief Thomas (Chief_thomas).

== Equipment ==
=== Guskarls ===
The Guskarls have a "Abnars Steel" (the very best steel in Galadonn said to be blessed by the Abnar Himself) helmet which has the Watchers Eye engraved on the forehead, it also has a face shield which is pulled down in battle. Their boots are leather dyed blue with iron plating sewed into it, they need it to be waterproof because of the swamps in the west of Galadonn. Their torso and arms are have a silk shirt/trousers, regular steel chainmail and "Abnars Steel" armour plating. Their weapons are custom made for each fighter dependant on their preference. The armour is bejeweled to show of the richess they earn from fighting (This means you can tell how veteran they are by how many jewels they have on their armour).
The Galadonnian Airforce has the same equipment but the crown instead of the Watchers Eye and a magic trident that propells them through water and air.
=== Galadonnian Soldier ===
Their helmets cover their heads and ears but leave the face exposed for more visablity and are made from standard steel. Their boots are blue to show allegance to Galadonn and made of leather but with no armour. Their torso and arms are protected by a leather tunic, chainmail armour and armour plating on their torso and shield arm, they have it on one arm only to allow better mobility for the swing of the sword. The soldiers engrave each battle they attend onto their shoulder plate to show respect to every man that died there. Their weapons are a choice of Single handed sword, War Axe and Spear as well as a Galadonnian Great Shield (a large wooden shield with iron outside and the Galadonnian Flag on the Front).
=== Levymen ===
The Levymen have cheap bronze or copper helmets if any at all, most have a leather cap instead. Their boots are Civilian with wood stitched to the bottom and extra leather sewn on. their torso and arms are protected by regular clothes, chainmail/extra leather and blacksmith gloves and aprons. Their weapons are usually a bit of wood as a shield and farm tools at weapons, axes, hoes, pickaxes and hammers. To recognise them they are given a banner which they nail to their shield of attatched to their back.
Since there is no actual equipment given or required this is a complete generalisation.
== Strategies ==
=== Standard Galadonnian Positions ===
This is the Standard style and is the basis of all other strategies for Galadonn. The Guskarls are put in the Central Front to take or deliver the first charge, the Levymen are on the flanks and the rear to protect against ambushing forces and the Galadonnian Soldiers are placed in the Centre to aid any Levymen Line that is collapsing and to charge after the Guskarls have delivered the first blow.
=== The Cassius Style ===
The Cassius Style is a more defensive idea which has the Guskarls kept in the back instead of the front, this is because if a flank is breaking the Guskarls and reinforce it and then flank the enemy. The Levymen are positioned in the front to absorb a charge then the Galadonnian Soldiers will go help them.
=== The Bonk Style ===
The Bonk Style is a purely offensive idea which has the Guskarls on the Flanks to attack the sides then a swarm of Levymen to deliver the central charge with the Galadonnian Soldiers to charge after them. The Guskarls will Flank the enemy after the Levymen have made contact with the Enemy.
