Military Rankings
Welcome to the Militia of the Free Trade Cities. We are organized unlike our counterpart around the continent to a true military structure. No matter where you have come from, you start of as a mere recruit here. Nobility and titles mean little to the men in our ranks. The pursuit of excellence is all that matters to us, and to further that pursuit the discipline amongst the ranks and the understanding of the Military ranking structure.
Military ranking is structured completely on ones skills in both combat and leading men on the field of battle inappropriate actions off the field can remove a rank or more, but cannot help one gain ranks. Tests are required for most ranks, to be issued when a member applies for the new rank with the consent of a superior.
All Ranks are further designated by their closeness to achiving the next rank. This designation is the soldier's "Class".
Easy identifiers are also listed so that orders can be given and carried out effectively.
