Fubarnii of the Empire

The Fubarnii Empire spans the vast continent of Anyaral, encompassing many diverse lands. There are many large cities, but there are also countless small homesteads and villages, defended by local militia or knights from nearby garrisons. Through the years there have been many conflicts between clans of the Empire and some areas have to deal with bands of fubarnii bandits, but the Empire’s knights have always had just one task, to control the threat of the devanu. To achieve this task the Empire trains and deploys knights throughout its lands, maintaining large garrisons which provide support to the local militia when needed. The knights are made up of fubarnii from all clans who were apprenticed into the military at an early age. Knights may be trained and stationed in any part of the Empire, so the mix of clan cultures within a single garrison tends to be great. Local militia are drawn from villages and cities within a clan’s boundaries. The militia are usually led by professionally trained soldiers, but the majority of the troops have less formal training. Wealthy traders travel the great distances across the Empire, expecting the local knights and militia to provide defence for their valuable cargo. With a rumoured threat to the north diverting the Empire’s attention, local calls for assistance against the devanu have been met with decreasing numbers of knights. Engineers have been quick to take this opportunity to offer their services and experimental weapons in their stead, although the benefit of their support to date has been questionable.
