We are the Shield of Brighthaven. We will help protect and mete out justice, as well as police our sphere of influence. Being a part of the military is being part of that which makes this world a safer place.

If you decide to join, realize that the military will be your first priority if we are attacked, and thus requires your time at odd intervals.

I've added your Company to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list alongside The Empyrean Order. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, please PM me.
Good luck! :)

on a serious note, your cavalry division is disproportionate to reality.
In addition each company should have it's own cadre of mages and clerics, and so should each division and corps. Company = Squad sized, Division = squad sized, Corps = Two Squad sized.
Having the mages and clerics in their own corps can leave them dreadfully exposed and harder to bring to bear.
Just sayin.

That is an organizational chart based on who is in charge of what group.
Each company gets its own Cadre, and Clerics are assigned where needed. I just want to make the chart look robust, so that we could grow into it over time, I have no idea how large we might come.
And I disagree with you on your sentiments about Cavalry, Realm of Kirdain in Darkfall, as well as several other DF groups had Cavalries this big.

Um, people are forgetting the possibility of Dragoons... Not exactly Cav, but still...
Ryan has alluded to the fact that you can make your mounts dissapear while they aren't in use.
Depending on the cost of replacing them if they're in your inventory when you die vs. the speed benefit they offer I would imagine pretty much everyone will be a dragoon if by dragoon you mean someone who will use mounts to get around and dismount to fight. At least until some of them become full-time cav or you get classes like wildshape druids and monks that may be able to keep pace with a mount.

Something along those lines. Except move dismount fight fight move dismount fight.
I'd expect they'd probably add an interruptable timer and maybe make you vulnerable during the mount action, so impractical to mount up in the middle of a battle, at least when you can be attacked, to move.
With the formation fighting thing though, they could probably pretty easly add "cavalry" formations on the sly even without true mounted individual combat.... do a check to see if everyone has a mount to create/join the formation then apply a series of modifiers to simulate the properties that cavalry would have. Though I suspect formation fighting may and up being after mounted combat on the implimentation list anyway.

As the Landrush dwindles, day by day, towards the 10 week mark we see more and more consolidation. Currently on the Landrush boards there are several groups that fall into LG, NG, N, and CG that want some kind of PvP presence, TEO Military might be the place you are looking for.
We will have plenty of opportunities for PvP securing our borders, protecting our caravans, making examples of those that would do harm to our citizenry. If you tend towards a neutral or good alignment, individual or company, I implore you to make that meaningful choice and Choose TEO Military and Brighthaven as your home.
ALL Military members will receive discounted training, the best money can buy, free repairs (within reason), and basic equipment replacement in the line of duty. We take care of our own and want to foster a greater bond and relationship between our Military and our Citizenry, creating a symbiosis and partnership towards a bright future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here, or contact me via PMs.
