March 6, 1786 K.R., The Kingdom of Karolyi

"So, you want to join our most illustrious company of soldiers?" the clerk says with a slight grin as you give him your recommendation letter and the bag of money for your commission.

A bit more seriously he says,"Well, now I guess I now give you the background and principles of our company, the Prince's Reavers. It all started 95 years ago when Prince Sain III created a new military force from recently disbanded...."A few minutes later, the clerk finally finishes with his summary of the history of the Prince's Reavers and says,"Sir, would you mind filling out this form for me to file away in our records?"
You read the form and find that it only asks for your Name,Home Province, and your reason for joining the Prince's Reavers.

Spoiler: History (click to show/hide)

Prince's Reavers:The Prince's Reaver were formed by Prince Sain III in an attempt to gain political power and recognition. He formed the new paramilitary force from demobilized soldiers who desperately needed pay and employment. As Prince Sain III was a very wealthy man during that time he could afford to keep around a sizable force of these soldiers. At first, these soldiers would just accompany Sain around on his trips to his lands, helping him negotiate with and put down peasant rebels. This trend would continue for about 3 years until The Grand United Holy Duchy of Darinthin attacked The Dual Monarchy of Spain and Italy. Sain took the initiative and joined on the side of The Dual Monarchy. He and his men beat back many attacks and even helped capture the Duke of Darinthin. During the Battle of the Darrain Crossing, Sain and his men were rumored to have completely collapsed the center of The Duke's army and were called the Reavers from that day on.
The Reavers are a company of dragoons with a history of benevolence, something that most of the Karolyian nobles disapprove of. The officers are usually nobles and aristocrats like yourself, but some of the rank & file are high-ranking officers. The dragoons themselves are made up of debtors, convicts, foreigners, and common peasants seeking to make something of themselves.

Spoiler: Provinces (click to show/hide)

Harnen:Harnen is known Kingdom-wide for its superb horses and cavalry, as a result almost all of the Kingdom's cavalry are raised from Harnen.

Karelin:Karelinn is the Kingdom's center of culture and learning and its capital.

Austrag:Austrag is the newest province in the Kingdom. Their swords and axes are of the best quality throughout the Kingdom.

Friestac:Friestac is one of the strangest places in the Kingdom. The locals there are said to have the power to perform black magic and enchant their weapons with powers most unholy. At any rate, most of the Kingdom's light infantry come from there.

Forigneign:Forigneign is just the word used to describe the various colonies of the Kingdom. Anyone can bought and sold in the colonies. The colonists are mostly just good farmers and craftsmen.

My father was a cavalryman, as was his, as was his, as was his all the way back to the age of knights.

Harry Smith
and with a name like that, you know we're from the colonies.
Money, women, and glory, not necessarily in that order.

Daniel Blue

Mother wanted me out the house.

This, but from Friestac.

[Kaferian]

You grin to yourself as you fill out the form. Your mother always wanted you out of the house and would make up random excuses for you to be out of the house such as: Drawing runes on surrounding trees, feeding the wolves (which didn't need feeding), enruning muskets, etc. Luckily, your own pet wolf was always there to help you. Sure having a wolf at your side all the time made people think that you were some demonic Farstiecan wizard who was out to-you don't know-blow people up at random.

"Hey! You weren't dozing off, now were you?" The clerk's yell snaps you out of your musings. The clerk then says,"Daniel Blue is it? Sounds pretty weird for a Farstiecan. Was your father a colonist?" "Yeah, I think he was a colonist now that I think about it." you answer."Truth be told, I never saw him that much except for the few times he visited for my birthdays." "Interesting, I believe the Prince might know something. I'll ask him about your last name, but now I have to show you to your quarters. Unless you want to find your room yourself? In that case, your room number is 63, if you get lost just listen for people yelling at each other in Spanish and Italian. There might also be some people cursing in English and various Nordic languages."

Your wolf is outside currently

Do you wish to go on your own or accept the clerk's help? Do you want to get your wolf inside?

Spoiler: Question (click to show/hide)

Do you guys want me to write down the history of any country in particular?

The North Sea Empire
The Cossack Union
The Unified Duchy of Darinthin
The Dual Monarchy of Spain-Italy
The Kingdom of Karolyi
The Druidic Confederation
Novgorod
The Ottoman Caliphate

[aattss]

We need to get all the help we can get. Also, you might want to ask the clerk for what you can do to get the wolf inside.

[a1s]

Maybe we shouldn't be that forward, and just ask what the policy on "pets" is.
