BLACKFIST MARINES
The marines of Blackfist wear a black helm of brass and a black facemask.
They carry a standard whip grapple and a scimitar. The ranks of the marine are clearly marked upon their shield. The military is based on a legion of roughly 1800-2000 men.
The Dromar is made up of 10 soldiers; their shields are black with no markings. These soldiers are the raw slave recruits captured in battle. They usually have very basic skills if any. They hold no rank until they survive battle.

The Blackfist is making plans for further expansion. They are planning on taking Drazillia, the coastal jungles of Neranvel and the lands of the living throne. First they will send scouts then establish base camps and start making raids and expand their influence. They see the resistance in Hornhold as a minor nuisance. The riches of the living throne will increase the Blackfist power so the risks are worth it. Little do they realize that the Wyrmhold is real. The High Protector thinks that his Wyvern ships could easily best any mere dragon.
The Rebellion
The rebellion is unorganized at best. The rebellion leaders have met a few times and have united the forces in name and color. The forces wear a red sash that covers their eyes, some wear red cloaks, and others have red boots and gloves. Due to funding issues others go without. The Leaders wear the entire garb and actively recruit in their homelands.
LEADERS – The red Brigade “Freedom”
Country Race Class Level Band
Ak-Tor Mtn Dwarf ft/cl 4/4 40 dwarven warriors
Erenson Grey Elf wi/cl 4/3 30 elven archers
Human Drazillia Ranger 4 40 men at arms
Centaur HighHorn Paladin 7 15 cavalier/lancers
Human Gaul Enchanter 8 40 peasant fighters
Human Buspardia Warrior 7 50 sailor/smugglers
Human Yalarum Thief 5 5 smugglers
These groups make night raids, small raids for supplies and random scouting for the higher ups. At best they are just a gnat buzzing around the beast. The little they do keeps them alive, but it has not really slowed the expansion of the Blackfist.
Their camps move constantly to avoid detection. The rebels from the Living Throne work the northern coastline as Blackfist raiders have started to cross the Abyssal Sea and attack parts of the The great Wyrmhold.
In Gaul, Trazzan's Inner Circle of apprentice wizards help to keep the freehold in a state of operation. The Blackfist have yet to sige the region although they do send dromar raids to test for weak spots in the area.
