The Akumatiers (Colonial expoditionary enforcers)

## Kolonialekspedisjon Håndhevere

„81 villages burned to the ground and wiped off the map in 14 days. We do not know the casualty count as the Enforcers work faster than we can count deaths though we estimate around 2,025 native casualties, Men, women and children only 12 on our side thats 168 to 1"

Akumatiers is a Northic play on the word "Akuma" which is the name given to the Enforcers by the Seihonese, Akuma being the Seihonese translation for Demons. The Akumatiers were were first formed and implemented in the first Seihonese civil war in 1833 where they served as enforcers and commando units send into enemy territory in front of the main advance to make way for the main army force.

## Equipment

The equipment of the Akumatiers is an interesting set of objects as most of them have been taken from or inspired by the equipment of foreign cultures, Things like Chungnamese Kukri knives, Zamibian Balisongs, neck flaps, Seihonese Katana's, tropical medicine and a whole lot more. Some of their base equipment consists of either the Lar 33B or Lar 1887 as main rifles, Pocket utility knives, Katanas for officers and Kukri knives as combat and utility tools. Later on they started using flame throwers and machine guns as they were perfect for the jungle combat they were deployed in.

## Legends

The Akumatiers quickly built a reputation for themselves though not one to be particularly proud of the Enforcers wore the titles given to them with pride taking pride in the fact they were so feared. For native achian villages especially tribal ones like in Arvora, Seihon and Northern El khabir the Akumatiers were those even death itself seemed to fear as any village cursed by their presence would not last to tell the tale.

This reputation for being so ruthlessly effective made some in Northic high command very cautious of their usage as it could spell doom for anyone unfortunate enough to be at the receiving end of their gun barrels.

Through the entire 85 years between their formation and the end of the 6 year war the akumatiers amassed a frightening 1,200,000 kills and destroyed over 1500 villages while only taking a casualty toll of 7,142.

## The 6 year war

During the 6 year war the Seihonese army though quite victorious in general struggled to invade Arvora, as the dense jungles and brutal jungle combat made it extremely hard for large armies to enter at once and impossible to establish functional supply trains. However the day both Northic command and Arvoran natives had hoped to avoid had come and fate forced Northland's hand deploying the Akumatiers to Arvora, What followed is nothing short of a massacre.

In only the first 14 days of the campaign the Akumatiers burned down 81 villages and killed an estimated 2,025 natives Men, women and children none were spared. This went on for 113 more days when the Akumatiers broke through the frontiers of Arvora and reached the heart land where they killed a further estimated 80,000 natives Runick and Arvoran alike. In their wake they had left safe routs and room for the entire Seihonese and Northic invading force.
