The public agenda of the Bogclutch Military is to safeguard Mire Point and its surrounding marshlands through constant vigilance, disciplined defence, and rapid response to any threat, whether mire beasts, bandits, or political rivals from fractured Redstone territories. The military presents itself as the protective arm of the Master’s authority, committed to maintaining order, securing trade routes, and preventing the return of the chaos that once displaced the clan. Its motivation is rooted not in expansion or conquest but in ensuring stability, preserving the homeland, and upholding the hard-won safety of the Bogclutch people.
