Kellefon Military

Ranks
The ranks of both the Wyverak Riders and The Protectorate follow the same structure:


 * First Admiral - The First Minister of the Kellefon Free-States
 * Admiral - Leads the defense of a skyland territory. A joint rank, an admiral will lead both the Wyverak Riders and The Protectorate of their Skyland and are promoted from both divisions.
 * First Captain - A leader of a unit within their division.
 * Captain - A leader of a squad within their division.

Protectorate Only ranks:


 * Sergeant - Answers to their Captain and helps facilitate the oversight of the squad.
 * Legionnaire/Guard - The entry rank and lowest in the chain of command. While on patrol within cities they are referred to as Guard, and while elsewhere Legionnaires.

Wyverak Riders - The Kellefon Aeronavy
The wyverak riders are the elite of the Kellefon military, not neccesarily for their prowess but for what they represent. The wyverak and their riders tie the Free-States together, with communication, trade, defense, and as a symbol all of the City-States can fall under. All children are taught the sad state the Kellefon Isles were in before the wyverak and their riders emerged.


 * The wyverak and riders of each area (that maintains an Aire), contain at a minimum of six squadrons, however those areas that don’t maintain an Aire might still have a small contingent of riders on call.


 * Wyverak riders form squads of six, each one side of three mateable pairs of wyverak. Each squad has one Captain who answers to a First Captain.


 * Each Aire has a First Captain as well as each major city that doesn’t maintain an Aire, ensuring that the wyverak presence is throughout the Free-States and their holdings.

The Protectorate - The Kellefon Foot soldiers and guards
The Protectorate houses garrisons on each skyland of the Kellefon Isles barring Westerly which is maintained solely by the wyverak riders of The Drift.


 * A typical garrison holds a few thousand soldiers whole overseeing upwards of ten outposts housing 500 or more soldiers each.
 * Baron’s Edge and Kellefor Keep maintain more than one garrison, with other outposts throughout the cities.
 * The Protectorate are trained for wartime and peace, and as such generally fill in as city guards and keepers of the peace. Their wartime knowledge has not been used in recent history.
