Leaders: Grand Duc and Grand Marshal Aznar de Seguin, 'Patriarch' Ernard VI (Rechil de Seguin), & Grand Admiral Aguste Orieux
Location: On the move, but currently oceans south of Talcary
Description: Exile force, ground troops and fleet
Summary: A group of militarized noble exiles from Routaille, claim to be that kingdom’s legitimate leadership.
Points and Modifiers (11):
Army: 4, Logistics 1 (+2), Loyalty: 2, Navy: 4 (-1)
Noble materiale: +2 Logistics
Long journey: -1 Navy
Cultre:
The Knights are a remnant of pre-Revolutionary Routais noble culture, exiles who believe they are all that’s really left of their civilization. The nobles have even established a small sham court around their leadership, with Grand Duc Aznar as Regent for the ‘imprisoned’ Queen Fernanda.
History:
The Knights formed from a group of noble exiles that managed to gather in territory controlled by the Grand Duc of Navir during the Routaille’s Revolution. At the last moment, they linked up with remnants of the loyalist navy and fled the kingdom, looking for safe harbor where they could rebuild their lives, and perhaps, prepare for their return.
Unfortunately, that safe harbor was had to come by. Their insistence on forming a government-in-exile made their presence in Trevast intolerable to its rulers, who had recognized Arno. So, they fled south, down the coast, doing minor mercenary work to keep up their lifestyle and looking for a court that would take them in. Their wandering has taken them to the sea of Izhen, where their prayers just might be answered….
Army: 4000 men, all well-trained and equipped. 2000 are knights (but few still have horses), with 800 crossbowmen, and 1200 pikemen.
Navy: 3 heavy ships, and 6 lights, along with a large number of transports.
