The Knightly Order of the Claw
Structure
Ran by Grandmaster Keller Kiel
Has 3 claws ocen, sky and earth with seperate sub-grandmasters
Each has officers which are knights of the order and junior officers who are squires
The majority of the troops are recruited from the general populus as an alternative to paying the tithe. They are recruited for 2 years. To become a knight you must be part of the claw by choice (not tithe alternative) and make a pledge to a current knight to sponsor you to become a squire.
Culture
The Claw is well respected throughout the land. They are used across the lands as town guards, shipmen and patrol the mountains and skies to keep the peace. There is a level of friendly rivalry between the claws but work well together
There are some minor off shoots which specialise in other aspects such as training royal guards, protecting the Armagh forest and protecting the borders of Stalathia. These are referenced within The Claw as the spurs
Public Agenda
To protect Stalathia, her borders and interests
To protect the people
Assets
As the state military they have access to a large amount of funds with access to private blacksmiths, leather workers, shipbuilders etc. They can outfit the entire army in basic armour and weaponry and the knights and squires of the order in plated armour
