Mercenary Forces

King Neden maintains a standing policy of "Send an ork to fight an ork," and to that end, the Arm maintains employs a mercenary force Named Terath's Chargers. The chargers are commanded by Terath the Contemplative, who delegates to his son, Earal Bloodstroke, to command the 800 mercenaries of the Chargers. Most often they are employed to with orc raiders of the Skull Wharg Tribe.

Adepts & Magicians in the Arm

Adepts are common through the Arm, with the generals and war consuls all being adepts, as well as third of the sargeants. The Navy counts around 200 Adepts among its number, notably among the Wizard and Elemntalist Disciplines. Outside of this number, the Arm can draft a force of 40-50 additional magicians in times of need.
