Dhoesone military

Dhoesone's army is currently very weak, and primarily comprised of foreign units. Historically Dhoesone whelmed a number of archers, scouts, and light infantry. Soon after her ascension Fhiele Dhoesone made a peace treaty with Tie'skar Graecher, King of Thurazor under which she hired goblin warriors. Recent military losses both reduced the strength of the native military and led to the influx of foreign troops.

Troops that (nominally at least) answer to the Baroness:

Other troops

A number of other warriors from across Anuire have traveled to Dhoesone following the call by the church, however these have not been forged into proper military units and most act as guards for merchants and nobles while looking for military service.

After a series of intense goblin raids and to restrain the increasing elven influence in the realm Haelyn’s Bastion of Truth called across Anuire for valiant warriors to come and protect the realm. The Western Imperial Temple prevailed upon Duchess Flaertes to send a unit of Tuornen’s precious knights under the command of Lord Malcom Nabhriene, and sent a second unit of knights drawn from Avanil with the blessing of the prince led by Vicount Randall Afrindum. The Northern Imperial Temple told the Duke of Boeruine of Avanil’s gesture and he sent a unit of Pike under Captain Brodig. The Orthodox Imperial Temple sent a number of infantry but was unable to gain the approval of the Duke of Diem to sent veteran troops.

Although nominally all the 'church' troops were supported by and answerable to Haelyn’s Bastion of Truth, the commanders and veterans retained their old allegiances. Rivalry and factionalism was endemic with most troops answering only to their captain. The giants took brutal advantage of this infighting when they attacked, ambushing the native troops defending Giant’s Fastness while the knights of Avanil were making reprisal raids against the goblins and then moving to attack the town of Harper’s Point before the garrison could be reinforced. Without the heroic sacrifice of the troops of Boeruine and the bulk of the native army it is doubtful more than a handful of the townsfolk would have escaped.

As the realm now stands Boeruine’s troops are destroyed, Avanil’s knights patrol the northern provinces almost at whim ‘defending the realm against raiders’, Tuornen’s knights, more practiced in battling goblins, are generally considered more reliable and the elven troops of Tuarheviel defend the elves of the woods alone with only incidental benefit to Dhoesone barring the direct intervention of the Baroness.
