Military

The military might of Lhota is commanded by Ginneraught, the current head of the Red Dragon family. The military college handles the defense and conquest of the growing countryside in Divadlo and is centered mainly in Andul. Usually the military district is restricted from civilians, but recruitment happens once a month. Joining the military offers access to specialized weapons, training, and a healthy pay. Joining requires you appear at the east checkpoint and speak with an officer in a short interview, which opens the doors to the field of study. (Exact details of rank and accomplishment here)

Commoners are required to attend several classes in order to qualify for volunteer selection, after which they attend a graduation ceremony that records them in a proof of accomplishment registry. Several more classes are required to rank up, as well as hours of physical training. After becoming a Fastenier, soldiers are prompted to consider joining one of three specialized schools: The Talon Guard, The Entonal Service, or the Senographers.

Completing various ranks in each of these specialized schools qualifies you for promotion to different Officer positions. From here, ranks are granted by Ginneraught himself through trial and conquest. There are currently over 150 officers serving under 103 chiefs and 47 War Chiefs; 15 Grand Masters above those, who serve the 6 Pendragons.

Garrison College

There are two entrances to the College at the base of the Spire, a west and east wing. Both entrances are similar in the sense that there are several offices and registration rooms, a medical treatment lab on each floor, and locker rooms on each floor as well. Each floor is connected by a series of double staircases with an open floor plan. At the center is the base of the spire that doubles as a docking and loading bay for carriers and dragons. Each floor has 10 classrooms (5 on each side) and anyone 1st Officer or higher can volunteer to teach for blocks of time.
