Sir Granger of the Malachite Order

Granger was the youngest of the Dirkgan Five, a group of villagers who pledged to the Malachite Order in their plot to break a local lord's control over a silver mine.

Lord Brannes was exploitative to the point of tyranny, and he ran afoul of the order when he turned them away from his lands following a harsh campaign that left them wounded.

2026 PD

20 years have passed since the Church of the Horizon collapsed in explosive sectarian war.

With the continued decline of the Old Carminian Empire, the map has begun to crystalize into a kaleidoscope of nations, old and new.

Now its people struggle to build a world of their envisioning: the seeds planted during war, growing on the battlefield.

As a new age begins to dawn, ghosts of the old order glare out from the dark, awaiting their return.

If not for her, that Demon Lady would have killed everyone in the castle. Of that I'm certain."

• The Royal Knights, Army, and Armada are together known as the Royal Defense Legion (RDL) which ultimately reports to Duke Ardor

• Royal Knighthood - An elite branch of the Royal Army

○ Shares jurisdiction with the Royal Army

○ Reports directly to Duke Ardor and upper echelons have command authority over the Royal Army

○ Royal Knights are equipped with all kinds of equipment and personnel to complete their missions, regardless of branch association – but specialize in Close Combat Special Operations and Autogear Cavalry Operations

• Crown Knights – Domestic Security contingent of the Royal Knights

○ Reports directly to the King

○ Jurisdiction is within Carmina's borders: other branches have strong restrictions against domestic operations (The result of royal paranoia, and legitimate precedent)

○ Crown Knight forces may be "loaned" to the Royal Knights for foreign operations in times of war

○ However, Crown Knights retain certain distinctions, and Regional Chiefs always report directly to the King

○ Crown Knights are outfitted with military-grade gear such as Autogear Cavalry, though less so than other branches

• Royal Army – Ground forces of the Royal Defense Legion

○ Jurisdiction is foreign operations

○ Largest branch of the RDL, consisting of regular army and free knights (Knights not commissioned as Royal Knights, but temporarily commissioned by Army command)

• Royal Sorcery – Regular mage forces and their dedicated support, of the Royal Defense Legion

○ Responsible for all magical operations outside Carminia's borders

○ Pure magic is the jurisdiction of the Royal Sorcery, but alchemy is freely used across all branches

• Royal Armada - Naval forces for the Royal Defense Legion

○ Responsible for domestic and foreign naval operations

○ The Royal Fleet is divided into domestic and external operations, administered under distinct chains of command

Old concept for Isalid, the faery that was miraculously incorporated into a cyborg homunculus.

Inspired by his childhood friend's heroic nature, and set in finding that friend again, Isalid travels in search of him, doing good along the way.

However, he shares the body with the consciousness of the woman who trapped him in there.

Chiaro the Monk

Chiaro was raised on an unsettled island by the animals and fae that inhabited it. He did not meet another human until he was 16, and by then had focused his being on the pursuit of spiritual development over all else.

Old Concept for Avro and the eccentric spiritualist, Chiaro. Though their goals align, their approaches to life are divergent. They respect each other, but think nothing alike, and they've been known to scrap.

Avro is grounded, always living for the next day and keeping his eyes and heart focused on the people and things around him. His concerns are with the material world.

Armor in modern (circa 225CC) combat is entirely distinct in nature from traditional hard armor.

Whereas traditional armor is meant to deflect, diffuse, or otherwise protect the wearer via material shielding, modern armor relies on a technology known as AK (Akinetic) shielding.

The ROCT does not mess around when it comes to warhorses.
