The Silvelion Command

Originally created as a force of specialised soldiers to protect the Palace, the Silvelion Command was almost dissolved shortly after Tarvala 's assassination in 330AT by the Grand Church of Arlessa. Recently, the Command has been reformed, and reside in Carlston.

## Homeland

Carlston sits in the centre of Imperial lands, only a days marsh from the Capital. Carlston offered the Command a house to use for training, and to recruit from soldiers that failed to make the grade of their house guard. After a few short years, the Command's military strength was surpassing Carlston's forces, and they won a contract from Lady Malencia Nox to protect the region and enforce local law (much to The Hounds  disapproval).

## Full Overview

The Silvelion command is a unit of soldiers originally stationed in the capital. Tarvala’s vision for the command was that a unit of strong, well trained soldiers to defend the Palace and safeguard the capital in the event the Fey were to break the treaty and attack. The Silvelion command were the unit that would be the final major line of defense.

When The Emperor was assassinated, The Command were stationed within the walls and were the first to respond, running into a Rebel ambush which claimed the lives of many prominent members of the command. The war went on, and the command became less and less a part of the political landscape. The command moved from the capital, to Carlston, before the need for extra space by the mayor of Carlston and the lack of work drove them to Lensbridge, until they eventually became nomadic.

The Silvelion command continued to train new recruits, attempting to develop an army fit to be hired by the Empire once more. But today, with few resources, and no real fighting history within this generation, the chances of a contract were slim. Current ruler of Carlston, Malencia Nox, used them as town guard, and for dispatching bandit hideouts.

It wasn’t until word came that the next Summit was to be held for Imperial leaders, Malencia proposed the Silvelion command be nominated as a defense force for the capital and to have their position reinstated.

## Culture

The Command's culture is one of a united cause, and a single unit greater than that of each individual. The formation fighting of the Command is the central focus, with mixed unit tactics being the core of their training. Each member of the command joins for their own reason, and their identity is kept prominent with their family sigil being included in their Command surcoat.

Each of the command fight together until the end. If one of the command falls injured, the rest will stay and defend their wounded until they are victorious, can get their wounded to safety, or are killed themselves.

## Leadership

Leadership within the Command is one of dedication and reward. Those who help further the command's efforts, build the command and improve the overall discipline of the group will see themselves promoted.

## Relationship with other Sub-factions

Friendly with Lensbridge , and Carlston , the Command has very little political influence.

## Appearance

Typically clad in thick armour, with single handed blade and shield as their preferred weapons, members of the Command often form a central backbone in Imperial shieldwalls. When present, the command is often an anchor point to a conflict, providing an unwavering force for allies to hold ground with and outlast Royalist barrages.

Although the command uses other classes, the appearance of the Command remains relatively consistent with the silver lion, and the purple/black colour scheme.
