Hooded Lanterns
Formally known as the 4th Provisional Expeditionary Force to Reclaim the Capital, the Hooded Lanterns are an irregular military drawn up from veterans of the Civil War and remnants of the old Drakkenheim City Watch. Led by the dour Lord Commander Elias Drexel, they wage a guerrilla war against the monsters, bandits, and scavengers who have taken root in their nation’s capital. Each has pledged their swords, hearts, and lives to restore their home and rebuild the Realm of Westemär.
The Hooded Lanterns are an irregular military regiment formed to reclaim the ruins of Drakkenheim. Their guerilla forces are drawn up from remnants of the Westemär military, veterans of the bloody Civil War, and brave volunteers who wish to restore the nation. The Hooded Lanterns’ primary objective is to drive out the monsters that now inhabit Drakkenheim, hoping to rebuild the city. In the process, they search for any evidence, documents, or records left behind in the vaults of the city which might reveal a possible heir to the throne of Westemär.
While the bulk of the Hooded Lanterns’ forces are operating in Drakkenheim, soldiers from the regiment can be found throughout Westemär on important support, logistics, and recruitment missions. The contamination around Drakkenheim means the regiment relies entirely on food and water stores shipped to their strongholds, and they constantly need fresh recruits to replace their fallen. It’s common to find several patriotic Hooded Lanterns in the taverns and market squares throughout the nation, trying to stoke national pride from able bodied people to join their cause in Drakkenheim.
