| - The Military of the Protectorate of Menoth has risen rapidly since the establishment of the theocracy, growing from a small, hobbled self-defense force to a force capable of subduing the Idrian tribes to a real army capable of challenging both the Cygnaran and Khadoran militaries as an equal. Hierarch Severius holds the direct allegiance of the army through the Temple and Scrutators. The army is composed of a number of military orders that are divided between Garrison and Crusade forces. The former hold Protectorate territory, the latter are typically offensive forces or reinforcements to hard-pressed areas. The different military orders are: The Knights Exemplar - led by Grand Exemplar Mikael Kreoss, this order was the main martial arms of the Temple for a long time. They emphasize strict, rigid training and absolute obedience to the will of the Scrutators. The Flameguard - led by Feora, the Protector of the Flame. Formerly serving primarily as guardians of temples and holy sites, they are now the most numerous of the Protectorates military orders and serves as its main body of trained manpower. The Order of the Fist- led by Holy High Allegiant Haveron Grayden, who co-founded the order alongside former Hierarch Garrick Voyle, these monks serve primarily as internal security forces, policing the citizenry of the Protectorate. The Order of the Wall - few in number and led by Grand Paladin Trentor Boridor, the Order of the Wall is an ancient institution, the oldest military order. Protectors of the people, they have been disfavored in the Protectorate over the Knights Exemplar. The War Priests - headed by War Sovereign Holven Marguile, these priests support Protectorate forces by prayers and blessings. They provide the Choir of Menoth as well as control the Holy Zealots, irregulars that make up the main body of the armed forces of the Protectorate. Lesser martial orders, such as the Deliverers. Current garrisons and crusades: The Northern Crusade - under the leadership of Preceptor Gorran Mejers. This Crusade is focusing on the Protectorate's operations in Llael. It is the largest single force currently operating. The Leryn Garrison - under Preceptor Kantis Loron. The Garrison supports the Northern Crusade and holds the city of Leryn, recently wrested from Khadoran control and the gateway of northern Menites into the Protectorate. The Sul Garrison - Visgoth Juviah Roven leads this garrison, that recently repelled the Cygnaran invasion of Sul and supported the attack on Caspia. The Imer Garrison - the six Visgoths of Imer are responsible for the defense of the capital. The Ichtier Garrison - Scrutator Sovereign Jarok Shaw commands this small garrison of reserves in the extreme south of the Protectorate. Tower Judgement Garrison - led by Visgoth Enjorran Sollers, the Tower Judgement guards the Northern Border against Cygnaran and Skorne aggression.
