ＨＥＡＤＱＵＡＲＴＥＲＳ THE WESTERN HEADQUARTERS & THE EMPIRE'S FOUNDATION.
ＭＡＩＮ ＨＥＡＤＱＵＡＲＴＥＲＳ ➤ ＰＷＬＡＮＡＲＦＹＬＬ THE WESTERN HEADQUARTERS & THE EMPIRE'S FOUNDATION.
While the Imperial Guard has a station in every province on Panymium, its main base is located in Pwlanarfyll in Mishkan. Many of their military bases are impressive in size, with the western one hailing about 1,000 acres. While typically plain every headquarters has several sets of bunkers and land for training purposes, as well as multiple blacksmith and weaponry stations. The Western Headquarters in particular also holds a private quarters for the General as well as a prison station near its eastern barrier, the Buxem Prison (though often nicknamed 'the boondy' by common-folk, for its typically luxurious estate for nobility.) Each headquarters are also blocked off by high stone walls that are difficult to scale due to its smooth architecture, and is armed with cannons and watch stations. To discern easily, each headquarters also has a flagstone of Panymium's flag waved proudly above every gate entrance.
CAPTAIN leads a company (80-225 privates, 9 corporals, 3 lieutenants)
LIEUTENANT leads a platoon (25-60 privates, 3 corporals)
CORPORAL leads a squad (8-13 privates)
PRIVATE if a private has honors (completes their first MRP after admission into faction), he or she leads a team (4 privates)
LANCEPESADE (veteran) leads none; honors from the emperor
EMPEROR RINE VIII ; LEADER Emperor Rine VIII is the eighth in line of a long line of Emperors. The Royal Father's family has since been secretive about the eighth's life, who was secluded away because of his weakness, and because of the controversy over his father's death.The youngest Emperor in the lineage, his wisdom has aged him considerably with stress, though his vitality is still maintained by his own health and obscurity from even his own people. Many of his dealings with his county and foreign nations are done through personal advisers and highly ranked officers, though some have the honor of meeting Emperor Rine VIII in person, generally upstanding veterans of Panymium's history that deserve his honor. Unlike his previous siblings, of which there are eighteen, the Emperor is highly devoted to the Council of Sciences. Controversy has raised over his sympathy for the House of Obscuvos, though nearly paradoxically he feels a great religious detest against the Plagues.
SIR DIEDTHELM KUNZE ; REPRESENTATIVE Sir Kunze, having been newly appointed to his rank as General after the coup d'etat by the Cultists far too recently, is a freshly faced and enthusiastic individual. While he is strategic and fits into the role of charismatic young leader quite well, he has a slim build and a round face that looks too childish when in the battlefield, and red hair too freshly combed and untouched by age to be taken seriously. Diedthelm has a lit face that was once pale, but has burned time and time again to the point where the tips of his face, hands and feet are singed with a light tan and a remarkably lively hue of red. He also has heavy freckles around his face and a braided goatee that, upon first glance, looks like its struggling to grow much longer.
As a military official Sir Kunze takes his outfits very seriously, and often dons his several received medals and newly attained General's outfit often. He looks as cleanly and adorned in public as he looks in private. Sir Kunze always dons two pairs of weapons on each side, a single-shot flintlock to his left and a rapier to his right. Being the swift fighter that he is, he often replaces metal armor with thick hide and leather for lightweight travel.
He often travels on his horse, Ewald, and is nearly always accompanied by his Plague-General Lady Treatise, whose real name is unknown to the public.
As Sir Kunze has been newly inducted into his role as a General, his views are still unknown to the public...

ＨＩＳＴＯＲＹ AN UNDENIABLE SERVITUDE.
During the manifest of Panymium, the first Emperor of Panymium declared the Imperial Guard to be his closest upstanding legion of soldiers that would come to his aide. Though the first generation of Imperial Guards were generally taken up by experienced warriors, who were generally knighted already, that tradition soon came to pass. With Emperor Rine I came a vast rethinking of the Imperial Guard system, whereupon he placed one General under rule of the entire Army Theater.
Commanding regions were a part of Emperor Rine VII's own doing, where he set up numerous posts in each province to maintain his power in all areas of his land. These commanders have worked closely with one another, setting up relations between the Royal Families more closely. Unfortunately, Mishkan's Commander and General of the Imperial Guard, General Alridge, has recently been assassinated by a coup d'etat mission spread throughout the House of Obscuvos, and has been immediately replaced with Sir Diedthelm Kunze and his Plague-General, Treatise.
With the rise of the Black Death also came corruption. Though some guards were always easily swayed under the manipulation of money or reputation, recent times have persuaded many guards to refute their power around the provinces to corrupt politicians and merchants. Many guards have also separated themselves into two factions of belief-- Separatists, who believe that it is better to separate Panymium's province-wide militia from the Emperor's direct rule, and Traditionalists, who still follow Panymium's ancient code for the Imperial Guard.

ＡＢＯＵＴ DEFEND THE EMPIRE.
TYPE OF ALLIANCE
A military organization under the direct orders of the Emperor himself.
LIFESTYLE
Rigorous physical training and routine traveling is the way of an Imperial Guard. They do not stay in a single city for too long, once their training as a Private is over, and many of them do not stray outside of their regions unless their officers command it so. Other than that, many Imperial Guards follow the same lifestyle of their families and serve the Emperor's Code without question, and while many do believe in family value, they are indebted to put the Emperor before their loved ones.
FACTION GOALS
Serve the Emperor.
COMMUNITY
Communities of the Imperial Guard are spread throughout each individual province, but meet first and foremost for meetings at their quarters in Helios, with the Emperor. Since Guards serve the Emperor even in the most dire situations, soldiers come and go, but despite this the hard physical training has led many Guards to become friends with one another. Region Commanders generally live in their respective Province's quarters and all higher ranking officers do as well, often making strong bonds with their lower ranking soldiers.t
TRADITIONS
As the Guards are not the same as Knights, Guards do not have similar knighthood systems as they do. Instead of transcending from a Squire to a Page to a Lord, Guards first and foremost undergo extremely difficult and conditioning training at their birth province's station. Starting first as a Private, a Guard must receive the honor of their King or Queen before being sent off to Helios to complete their training and qualify to be promoted to a corporal of a company, if he or she is given the chance of such an honor. The Imperial Guard is also set up into three sectors- the Cavalry (horsemen), Artillery (ranged weaponry), and Infantry (footmen). Any and all who are spies are listed as one of these three sectors, no matter the reason, but are generally placed under Infantry. Ensigns, boys who raise flags, are also chosen within each region to represent Panymium as well as their province's flag.
BELIEFS
The belief of (hopefully) all Imperial Guards is this-- the Emperor is their life. Faithful to all Royal Families and the Royal Father himself, Guards serve their purpose with the intent of following all orders given by the Emperor first, the Queen or King of their nation second. While not knights, as no Guards have the liability or privilege of receiving land (though they can, if they want to, be a guard and knight at the same time), they also follow the code of chivalry and etiquette. As such they strive to set an example for Panymese citizens and upkeep the Panymese law wherever they are stationed, and have the duty of never questioning the Emperor's word.
ENFIELD-NORTH ARMS Enfield Arms has been in business since 1404, making it relatively recent to Mishkan. However, its owner, Mikhail Enfield, is very competent in crafting state-of-the-art firearms and precision blades. The shop has become more renowned for its rifles and carbines with the addition of Ezekiel North, rather than its swords and daggers. In 1406, when Enfield hired Ezekiel off the streets of Mishkan, the shop began to expand its horizons to all sorts of guns, whilst continuing to support the production of bladed weapons. However, its guns were the gem of its catalog. By early 1407, it had been renamed to Enfield-North Arms.[READ]
