Southern Imperial Army

== Combat Doctrine ==
Ship-borne assaults and boarding actions, defensive and fortification operations in extremis, stronghold assaults, the conquest and forced compliance of island-fairing civilizations.
== History ==
Formed from the remnants of Fax Gallengrand's Army of the Interior and the partisans of Farcraft's Rebellion, the Southern Imperial Army's first task after the Doom was setting up a systemic draft to swell the army's ranks and protect the turbulent empire. Under Twin-Emperor Silvius' direction, the army developed a strong naval branch, of which they had had no prior need. Over their twenty years in active service, the army took after the inclinations of their commander, General Fax Gallengrand, and truly excelled in defensive operations, although they were capable of siege actions on the offensive as well, possessing many arcane war machines developed by the Arcane Academy. 
Unlike the Northern Imperial Army, which prized initiative and allowed a great deal of initiative on the part of lower ranking officers, the Southern Imperial Army prized a rigid chain of command and frowned upon foolhardy heroics. Nonetheless the officer training of the Army, while still bound up in social class, was highly praised for its rigor and ability to turn out competent and dutiful leaders of men.
