Formed from the victories of the White Turban Rebellion that so influenced the Pugilist Risings, the Coven is an excess of every style of covenant, grotesque in government. In its College of Princes it holds to the absurd extreme of Blood Reign, hosting Gushan princes who have had no holdings for two-hundred years as equal members. Its College of Magi hold strictly to the laws of Yuhwa, defying the central Celestial Sejm as they wish. Its subject princes and alliances bind together a country which is not a country, with no stable capital, a greatcoat of nations diguised as empire. Its Eoraha, the witch-king, is a model of poorly conceived sacral kingship, powerful mostly in the length of his robes and ceremony. True, though, it must be conceded, that the Coven is a great power of the sea, and industry does emerge on the banks of the great river Iteru, and it does cultivate a mess of Lesser Covens, tied by their faith in Yuhwa. But still, God shall one day blind this eye, and fittingly end its despicable existence which threatens the stability of students of theopolitics everywhere, especially when we discuss 'floating chambers'.

Trusted Organs of Morality (2)

I drive away the Lie from this house, from this borough, from this town, from this land; from the very body of the man defiled by the dead, from the very body of the woman defiled by the dead; from the master of the house, from the lord of the borough, from the lord of the town, from the lord of the land; from the whole of the world of Righteousness.
- Fargard 10.5

Occult Nexus (2)

Between the trees, there is a bear ghost.
Bottom of the pond, there is a water ghost.
Beyond the sky, there is a phoenix.
Behind the traveler, there is a goblin.

What a shining bright full moon, EOLSSU!

Behold, Now the greatest tiger is coming down to this whispering mountain.

Let’s dance on this night until you lose your mind
Let’s dance right under the teeth of the Mountain God.
- Ahn Yeeun, “Changgwi”

Hang Together [Borders] (2)

"Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one." - Johann Wolfgang von Gothe

The Biggest Gang (1)

Two rules that can not be broken Johnathan: no blood on Continental grounds and every marker must be honored. Now while my judgement comes in the form of Excommunicado, the High Table demand a more severe outcome if their traditions are refused […] Exactly, Rules, without them we live with the animals.
- John Wick 2: Chapter 2, 2017

Category D Units (2)

The ship had been rebuilt and redesigned so often that there had grown up a popular notion in the Fleet that young constructors joining the Royal Corps were given Carousel to practise on, like a teething ring. […] Her radar was modified at annual intervals. A helicopter landing platform was built on the quarterdeck and removed before it had ever known the beat of wings. Mine-laying rails were laid out along the main deck but laying ports were never cut in the ship’s side. There were sudden changes, steps, drops, and inclines on every deck. Many pipes disappeared into bulkheads, never to reappear. Compartments existed all over the ship whose original purpose had long been forgotten and every passageway contained anonymous fuse boxes, plugs and brackets which baffled the ship’s company. The ship’s external appearance had changed so often that at last even ‘Jane’s Fighting Ships’ admitted defeat. Carousel was struck from the list of the other 8,ooo-ton cruisers of her class and given a special half-page of her own, her photograph being headed by the curt and aggrieved notice — ‘The silhouette of this ship is liable to radical change without warning.’
- Winton, John. We Saw The Sea (Artful Bodger Naval Adventures Book 2) (pp. 62-63). Sapere Books. Kindle Edition.

Mystic Haven (2)

We circled once, at screaming speed, well outside the null. I was astounded at what Darling had put together. About fifty windwhales, including some monsters over a thousand feet long. Mantas by the hundred. A vast wedge of walking trees. Battalions of human soldiers. Menhirs by the hundred, flickering around the walking trees, shielding them. Thousands of things that leaped and hopped and glided and flopped and flew. So gruesome and wondrous a sight.
-Glen Cook, “The White Rose”

Martial Society (3)

"O King of kings, I am ready to do thy commandments, for my mother brought me into the world that I might weary myself for thee, and unto thee pertaineth rest and joy, and unto me combat everlasting."
- Firdausi, “Shahnamah”

Flaws

Yearning Masses (-2)

No, the dead man had not been mentioned again; and anyway soldiers presumably become soldiers for exactly that, to die in defense of their King. But the image of that gutted corpse often recurred, as if asking to be given peace in the only possible way the Prince could give it: by justifying that last agony on grounds of general necessity. And then, around, would rise other even less attractive ghosts. Dying for somebody or for something, that was perfectly normal, of course; but the person dying should know, or at least feel sure, that someone knows for whom or for what he is dying; the disfigured face was asking just that; and that was where the haze began.
- Di Lampedusa, Giuseppe. The Leopard: A Novel (pp. 11-12). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

Institutional Arrogance (-2)

“I have to confer with you!” Pause. “I’ve been abused,” he resumed, peering straight into the lawyer’s sparkling glasses, and noticed after a while that words were failing him. He should have brought the primer along. With that odious object in hand, he would have had a far easier time explaining things.
“What kind of abuse?” asked the lawyer.
“I never served with the cavalry.” That was how Captain Trotta felt he might best begin, although he himself realized he was not making himself clear. “And here these shameless writers write in the children’s books that I galloped up on a sorrel, they write, on a sweat-covered sorrel, to rescue the monarch, they write.”
The lawyer understood. He knew the piece himself from his sons’ books. “You’re taking it too seriously, captain,” he said. “Don’t forget, it’s for children.”
- Joseph Roth, The Radetzky March

Keystone Navy (-2)

“A navy is essentially and necessarily aristocratic. True as may be the political principles for which we are now contending they can never be practically applied or even admitted on board ship, out of port, or off soundings. This may seem a hardship, but it is nevertheless the simplest of truths. Whilst the ships sent forth by the Congress may and must fight for the principles of human rights and republican freedom, the ships themselves must be ruled and commanded at sea under a system of absolute despotism.”
- John Paul Jones, Letter to the Naval Committee of Congress (14 September 1775)

Factious [Borders] (-2)

It is this fact of a great continent which is so essential for our country. God's Kingdom is part of a continuum, the greatest shard of the ancient spire. Should it have been isolated it would not have formed at all. Every country on Camad shares things with the others, and the innumerable little nations of this place have been shaped by our connection. It also means, to our detriment, we must sometimes share this place with those we'd rather send very far away.
- Pontiff-Prelate Samangan, Marginalia on the pages of Study of the Spire’s Fragments

Coldest War [Borders] (-2)

“You’re a slave to history; even after Calamity, you fight against the only order that can guarantee the safety of your people. You, solely, are responsible for this. (...) And for what? To secede from the world?! What, you think you can fight this war again in fifty years time? Do you really think History will see it your way?”
- Crimson 1, ‘Kings’, Project Wingman (2020)

No WMD Please, we're Vampires (-1)

“[…] if anyone kills a human being, unless it is in punishment for murder or for spreading corruption on earth, it will be as though he killed of all human beings. And, if anyone saves a life, it will be as though he had saved the lives of all human beings. Our Messengers came to them with evidence of the truth. Yet, many of them continued to corrupt earth by their over indulgence.”
- The Qur’an 5:32 (Trans. Safi Kaskas & David Hungerford)

Autobahn (-1)

Your nation has heavily invested in transport infrastructure, giving your people and your economy especially easy and convenient movement across your lands. Unfortunately this well-maintained and exceptionally well designed road and rail network means that any would-be attacker can almost always find some rapid route in or across, even through nominally defensible terrain; in practice this means they will never really be 'bogged down' due to terrain. This disad can also be used to represent nations built on particularly flat and drivable lands where even the most mundane of all offroad vehicles - the Toyota Hillux - can roam to and fro at will.

The current dynasty of Maripgans were regional upstarts from the steppe and soon found themselves at odds with the hyangni-deqhans of Gyerim that had acknowledged their kwarrah. Among many of their disputes was the size of the Maripgan’s armed entourage, and in the fourth year of Kwangmin Isageum’s reign the Hwabaek Council restricted his guard to no more than 4,000 archers from families of good character. In response the royal family exploited the most technical of loopholes: expanding the Outer Palace domestic establishment with thousands of new Court Ladies and lower grade attendants to be admitted on tests of skill in horseback riding and martial arts rather than traditional assessments of literacy and domestic work; for their own protection of course. While the new squadrons of Outer Palace ladies were clearly a violation of the Hwabaek Council’s combined will, interfactional bickering diverted attention from the issue, so the amazon regiments remained and progressively institutionalized. In present times, they form part of the backbone of the Gyerimean standing army and contribute many regiments to the Regular and Republican Guard where they serve well, though the cream are often kept at home with the Maripgan.

In Simurghshahr, Stone Sword Sages were religious troupes of traveling shamanic performers who worked their miracles with the Dust Sword Dance, both ritual and martial art. Those who perfect the art are informally proclaimed Sword Saints. Sword Saint Barahan – then a minor Sage – was one of the first Apostles the Yuhwa would recruit after her flight from Arshan into Simurghshahr. Overwhelmed by visions of the Needle of Light, he sought her out and was baptized. Though denounced by his fellow Sword Sages, his unflagging profession of the Yuhwa even after her martyrdom and occultation would ensure that the Stone Sword Dance would become enshrined as one of the great Yuhwan disciplines. Over time the troupes of Dust Sword Dancers embraced the Yuhwa and new ones were founded, such that in the modern day the Sword Dancers are synonymous with the Yuhwa.

We knew that we should lose him. For one thing, we knew that he would be promoted. It was our great hope that some day he would command the company. Also we knew that he would be killed. He was so amazingly unself-conscious. For that reason we knew that he would be absolutely fearless. So it proved…

Bombs and air torpedoes were dropping round us all day. Of course the captain was there. It seemed as if he could not keep away. A torpedo fell into the trench, and buried some of our chaps. The fellows next to them ran to dig them out. Of course he was one of the first. Then came another torpedo in the same place. That was the end.

But he lives. Somehow he lives. And we who knew him do not forget. We feel his eyes on us. We still work for that wonderful smile of his. There are not many of the old lot left now; but I think that those who went West have seen him. When they got to the other side I think they were met. Someone said: "Well done, good and faithful servant." And as they knelt before that gracious pierced Figure, I reckon they saw nearby the captain's smile. Anyway, in that faith let me die, if death should come my way; and so, I think, shall I die content.

Armor

The cuirass has always given, and today more than ever it will give, confidence to the cavalryman. Courage, dash, and speed have a value beyond that of mere mass. I leave aside mathematical discussions which seem to me to have nothing in common with battle conditions.
-Ardant du Picq, Battle Studies III.4 “Cavalry Armor and Armament”

For many reasons the standard Hermetic doctrinal terminology and theory of “tanks” as a particular branch of service never really took hold on the world of Camad, despite the frequent military expeditions by Hermetic armies against the barbarians of this periphery world. Instead, tradition treats mechanized armor as an extension of the artillery, with “Tracks” organized as horse artillery gun batteries.

And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away ... someone hands me a cheese sandwich."

The “horse artillery” of the modern Camadian age of war – incorporated in great numbers within the TO&E of Collegium Cavalry divisions – is represented by the various variants of K-64; a pleasing unity of protection, mobility, and firepower. One of the most advanced features was the Actively Etherized Dazzler Array panels along both flanks of the Battle Track, often referred to as “Gill Plates”, and the primary turret-mounted projector lens which seriously disrupt optics and energy aimed at the vehicle. To power the design’s high baseline power requirements without compromising profile requirements, the designers took the unusual choice of using a cosmoturbine meant for aerial use, whose overall compactness for provided . The vehicle’s silhouette also the autoloader for the main gun essentially surrounds the three man crew in unprotected exotic volatiles with a tendency to sympathetically detonate after a hull penetration or even a spalling event with such force that K-80 turrets separate from the hull at extreme velocity.

Artillery

Artillery in battle has its men grouped around the pieces, stationary assembly points, broadly distributed, each one having its commander and its cannoneers, who are always the same. Thus there is in effect a roll call each time artillery is put into battery. Artillery carries its men with it; they cannot be lost nor can they hide. If the officer is brave, his men rarely desert him. Certainly, in all armies, it is in the artillery that the soldier can best perform his duty.

The vanship is the ubiquitous reconnaissance and observation aircraft of Camad, outwardly resembling an open cockpit prop-engine biplane or kite-wing monoplane in almost every respect. As humble as it appears, those attempting to target these aircraft have often been startled by their bewildering agility and non-existent stall speed, as most vanships can tailsit or stand on their nose at zero velocity as though suspended by a thread. The rude appearance of their construction is further belied by the advanced etheric-optical sensors in the nose and the Active Etherized Spell Arrays – usually in sidelobes along the inside of their compact airframes – designed for Etheric Warfare.

A common tactic for Vanship crews is to cut their engines and glide in almost total silence on their wings at treetop height, with the AESA systems busily engaged in microjamming and optical camouflage pattern distortions on the skin of the airframe. In this mode such a small aircraft is almost impossible to detect, particularly at night. Some crews delight in using such an approach to set up strafing runs with the navigator or spell integration officer’s rear machine-gun to harass enemy positions from complete surprise.

The Endurance class of Fleet Carrier began as a joint project between the Republic of Covasna and the Yavanna Leagues, defraying the immense capital cost that was otherwise too large for the Leagues to stomach alone. As one of the earliest manifestations of the Scoala Tinieri, these ships defied the conventional wisdom of carriers designed to support nothing more than a handful of Vanships or Torpedo-Reconnaissance Fighters as part of the skirmish screen ahead of the Line of Battle. Since the program was out with great secrecy, these ships were sprung on a shocked Celestial Sejm ex post facto.

The Endurances were brought into the All Flags Fleet to fulfill part of the Yavanna’s quota obligations, but were accepted only with undisguised contempt for wasting resources which could have gone to Line of Battle ships. When they were finally retired they remained with the Yavannas where they continue to serve with some dignity as elder statesmen in the Scoala Tinieri’s war against the Black Shoe Admirals.

Yavuz Pasha Class Armored Cruiser=

Seven weeks later there occurred a terrible sacrifice when three armoured-cruisers, Aboukir, Hogue, and Cressy, were lost on picket-duty off the Dutch coast. They were quite unsuitable vessels for such an exposed patrol-line – big, slow, unnecessary targets – and their deployment, on what was almost close-blockade work, was the product of an unclear chain of command and shoddy staff-work.

In theory the Armored Cruiser is the fast wing of a proper Camad line of battle that combines speed, armor protection, and firepower. Such ships had the armor to take up station alongside the line of battle in an artillery duel, while also having the relative speed to either retreat from overwhelming odds or pursue a fleeing foe. Reality was more unforgiving as none of the recent battles in which these ships fought adhered to fleet tactical problems based on the chivalric mode of Camadian warfare, and this was a particularly thorny problem when the economy of their deployment made them attractive as the means to show the Yuhwan flag abroad. The twenty-minute Cape Matapan encounter, a particularly humiliating fiasco where the North Occident Squadron was wrecked in a botched diplomatic encounter with [ ], raised serious questions about the type’s actual ability to escape a pursuing capital ship. At the Battle of Dekkan Reef the North Occident Squadron was maimed yet again by a series of Alfheim anti-ship missile strikes, blissfully unaware they were even under attack until flames from detonating magazines erupted out of the gun barrels of the flagship and popped the turret roofs like champagne corks, exposing the serious deficiencies in sensors, etheric warfare, and point defense systems – or rather, the total lack thereof.

The Yavuz Pasha class Armored Cruisers are some of the more elderly examples of their type produced by the Collegium’s shipwrights according to traditional technique. All four are also, appropriately enough, the only survivors of this unfortunate type still in service under the All Flags by CC5501. The Pashas as they are affectionately known have managed to retain their dignity and, against the warnings of some, they continue to maintain pride of place as the core of the North Occident Squadron.

The Camadian ‘consort’ to the battleline is the Pavisier, a quite literally iconic style of fighting ship in the 2-3,000 ton displacement range wrapped around the arcane machinery of a Rubaiyat Khayyam field generator and a massive slab the length of the ship mounted on one flank: the eponymous ‘Pavise’. Rather than armor plate, this distinctive feature is actually an active etherically phased spell projector made of many joined panels which not only extends a faintly glimmering field of force across several hundred meters of space but can precisely concentrate it differentially in actively moving patterns. Holding station two to even five cable lengths off from the line of battle, the Pavisiers can deflect almost all forms of incoming fire that might have otherwise struck their partner ship with the ephemeral flash of geometric symbols or even suspend projectiles mid-air to be detonated by quick-fire gun batteries and machine guns. At close ranges – not uncommon for Camadian gunline engagements – the AESA projector can even be used offensively to warp and twist enemy hulls directly. The ‘Pavise’ itself is decorated with elaborate mural artwork, usually of Yuhwan religious significance.

After the Battle of Dekkan Reef, the failure of the Pavisiers to protect the Armored Cruisers from anti-ship missiles with canned field-avoidance attack profiles was noted and various experiments with jamming modes on the AESA projector and specialized external carcinotron barrage jamming mounts are underway, though none have been mounted permanently.

Beloved as they are, Pavisiers are considered a hardship posting due to unpleasant proximity of cramped crew quarters to noisily coruscating fields of energy.

“We are ready now, sir, that is, as soon as we finish re-fueling. Of course you know how destroyers are – always wanting something done to them. But this is war, and we are ready to make the best of things and go to sea immediately.”
