The Imperial Army
The Imperial Army Overview
Welcome to the Imperial Army. That’s the last good bit of welcome you will ever receive. The Imperial Army is not a bunch of heroes saving the day. We’re soldiers doing our job. We kill. We plunder. We do what others won’t. For all intents and purposes, we’re the clean-up crew and the first line of defense to protect the inhabitants of the Meztrailov Empire. A military unit has respect and order for their Commanding Officer. Disobedience is retaliated with swift discipline whether it is a verbal warning or a slap to the face.
The Imperial Army will do its duty and honor to its Motherland. Meztrailov’s Throne pays them for their services accordingly. We of the Imperial Army do what some would call the Meat Grinding. We’re expendable so long as our mission is completed. We are soldiers of the Empire, and there is no greater reward. We’ll slaughter and destroy an entire battalion of prostitutes and old women if the Emperor so demands.
What are our rewards you ask?
We get deras based on our service and military record. We will receive housing if housing cannot be provided. Our families will be taken care of by the Imperial Army’s Health Coverage. (If you lose a limb you will have a basic replacement.) The Black Throne believes in rewarding its servants with just as much dedication as we are given. We are Soldiers, we DO what we are told.
Mission:
We serve the people of the Empire and execute the will of the Emperor. His enemies are our enemies to destroy. Any that dare threaten the peace and sanctity are ours to claim, mind, body, and soul.

Code of Conduct:
A soldier will conduct himself with proper manners and address his superiors by rank.
A soldier will follow all instructions unless they endanger life, limb, hearing or eyesight outside of combat.
A soldier will abide by the Army's rules and it's values:
Demotions:
Demotions are full possible. The way to get demoted is the following:
· Insubordination
· Missing a total of 3 Training sessions accumulated
· Missing 5 campaigns
· Failure to Adapt to the Army lifestyle.
· Failure to Report on Time.
· Failure to Obey a Lawful Order.
· Failure to Obey a Lawful Order in Wartime.
While demotions are possible for the above listed reasons, the Imperial Army member has the right to speak before peers and authority. They are still a Citizen of Meztrailov!
[Please note: If a member or soldier has an IRL issue and emails the DM a few days before or lets the DM know their schedule that they can’t be at the training sessions or campaigns for a good reason IRL, such as school/work/taking care of an ill parent, then the number of Missing Accumulates to a total of an allotted 10.]
