County Greyhawk

From Harath Rules

Revision as of 18:23, 29 December 2020 by WikiAdmin (talk | contribs) (→‎Muster Ability)

Formation: Lady Amian, KCmR (OR-2, retired) negotiated a deal between Lord Aphic and the Duke of Urnst to cede the land between the Nyr Dyv and Wooly Bay/Bright Desert, and between the Selintan River and Cairn Hills/Abbor-Alz to establish the County of Greyhawk

Administrative Breakdown

The County is officially known as The County of Greyhawk.

The County is divided into 2 Baronies

  • The Barony of Selintan is divided into 2 Provinces and one Shire
    • Halverine
    • Olmarr
    • [[Mavenshire
  • The Barony of Amian is divided into 2 Provinces
    • Kilma
    • Stythe
  • The Baronies are each ruled by a Baron who is a sworn vassal of the Count of Greyhawk.
  • The Provinces operate under administrative control of a Baronet, who is a sworn vassal of both the appropriate Baron and the Count.
  • The Provinces are named for four past Lord Mayors of the Independent City of Greyhawk.
  • The Provincial capital is a Keep, a walled complex that serves as a combination administrative seat, barracks and staging location for internal troops, and military headquarters.
  • The daily running of the Keep is given to a Sheriff, assisted by a Master-at-Arms, both of whom are members of the Order of the Lion.
  • Mavenshire is the private holding of the Count; however, the Count rarely bothers himself with direct administration of Mavenshire. Instead, he leaves the day-to-day decision-making in the hands of an appointed administrator.
  • The Provinces and Mavenshire are divided into boroughs. For simplicity, each borough is named for its chief population center. (Note: Exceptions are Greyhawk City and Hardby, which are not part of any borough.)
  • Each borough head is a Reeve who is selected by the Baronet or, in the case of Mavenshire, by the Count or his designated Administrator.

Borders

  • North – Nyr Dyv
  • West – Treaty line with Duchy of Urnst through Cairn Hills and Abbor-Alz

Knights of the Order of the Lion

The Order of the Lion (OL) is a civil order that is created in four classes:

  • Knight Grand Marshal (OL-1/GM)
  • Knight Marshals (OL-1)
  • Knight Commanders (OL-2)
  • Knights (OL-3)

The number of holders of the OR is not fixed and is entirely at the whim of the Count. Holders of all Classes serve as the Count’s personal representatives. Class awards are not made sequentially. Rather, once inducted into the Order, a holder is granted the class that goes with the position they currently hold. Upon a change of position, the holder is reassigned to a new class. It is also possible to be punitively demoted or removed from the Order altogether. The Count may choose to reward Knights who are reassigned to a lower class, based on the quality and longevity of their service at the higher level. Such rewards are not defined, and are not mandatory.

Knight Grand Marshal (OL-1/GM)

The Count is always the of the Order

Knight Marshals (OL-1)

Knight Marshals (OL-1) hold the highest County positions, almost always as Ministers to the Count’s Court. At all times, they speak as the Count, which means that decisions and promises they make, even without the Count’s prior approval, legally obligate the Count. Although not true peers or nobility, all OL-1 are entitled to be called “Lord/Lady”

Knight Commanders (OL-2)

Knight Commanders (OL-2) fill high (though not the highest) County positions such as Sheriffs and Deputy/Junior Ministers to the Count’s Court. They speak on behalf of the Count when passing on his decisions and promises, but only have limited authority to issue commands, edicts, etc. without the Count’s prior approval. Such statements do legally obligate the Count. The extent of this authority is different for each OL-2, and is subject to frequent change.

Knights (OL-3)

Knights (OL-3) are either (1) holders of relatively powerful County positions (e.g., Masters-at-Arms), (2), those being considered, groomed, or trained to hold an OL-1 or OL-2 position, and (3) retired or demoted Knights. They only ever speak on behalf of the Count. Their words never obligate the Count.

Knights of the Order of the Ram

In both peacetime and wartime, the knights’ primary responsibility is to carry out the Count’s orders. At times of peace, as servants of the Ministry of Security (aka, The Chancellery), they are the Lord Chancellor’s eyes and ears around the County, and can assume a supervisory capacity in sensitive or high profile criminal investigations at the Lord Chancellor’s request. In all matters of war, the Count assumes complete control of the Order. Knights of the Order are frequently sent abroad to ensure the County’s interests are being looked after. A senior Knight holds a permanent position on the Command Staff in the conflict with Iuz.

Muster Ability

All knights have the authority to muster troops, up to the following limits:

Rank Max # of Patrols Commanded Maximum Troop Strength
OR-1(GM) 64 reinforced Patrols (the entire D. Corps) 1 DCL + 4 DCP + 64 DG + 640 SGT + 6,400 PVT = 7,109
OR-1 32 reinforced Patrols (2 D. Columns)
OR-2 16 reinforced Patrols (1 D. Column)
OR-3 8 reinforced patrols (2 D. Groups)
OR-4 4 reinforced patrols (1 D. Group)
