Prime Minister [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]] is the commander-in-chief of the [[Jalinjeri military]].  His chief military leader is the [[Lord Commander of Jalinjeri]], [[Almaz Zhibek]].  Each of the four [[Jalinjeri]] prefectures has an [[Elemental Minister]] who is responsible for recruiting and training troops in their own prefecture.

Latest revision as of 00:10, 30 September 2021

The Jalinjeri military is made up of 27 regular divisions, or perhaps more accurately described as irregular divisions and two special divisions. Independent observers describe the Jalinjeri military as "hastily assembled and poorly trained". The local Ortalykshilar, however, stand in sharp contrast to this as they were ready to mount a defense against the Ortalyk military, had the secession of the Kiywar Territory been answered with military force.

While it has been largely left to Hedgewind Jalinbeti to organize the military, though in recent months his Lord Commander of Jalinjeri, the former Boyar of Kiywar Territory, Almaz Zhibek has taken up the task of recruiting and training the nation's military.

Command Structure[edit]

Lord Commander of Jalinjeri, Almaz Zhibek

Prime Minister Hedgewind Jalinbeti is the commander-in-chief of the Jalinjeri military. His chief military leader is the Lord Commander of Jalinjeri, Almaz Zhibek. Each of the four Jalinjeri prefectures has an Elemental Minister who is responsible for recruiting and training troops in their own prefecture.

Being an excellent equestrian himself, he has personally lead charges on the battlefield and the head of his Tsar's Guard cavalry. The recruitment, supply, training and upkeep of all but the Tsar's Guard, are the responsibility of the various provincial boyars. These political leaders sometimes lead their troops into battle and sometimes do not, depending on their personal nature and how they came to be boyar. For each division a boyar recruits, he will appoint a general to lead and manage the division, and most Ortalyk officers will typically look to the general for orders even in the presence of a boyar.

Ground Forces[edit]

Jalinjeri military ground forces are made up of units called divisions, each consisting of of roughly 10,000 ground soldiers. The organizations within a division can vary greatly depending on a number of factors from recruitment and logistics, to terrain and the nature of when the division was assembled. The bulk of most divisions are made up of infantry, followed in numbers by crossbowmen, cavalry, engineers, quartermasters, signallers and special forces. The latter are often made up of spellcasters and other adventurer classes.

Each of the X divisions of the Jalinjeri military have a specific role. These soldiers are sourced from each of the various Jalinjeri prefectures and recruited under the auspices of that province's Elemental Minister. Each division is made up of about 10,000 men, typically divided into 5 battalions of 2,000, each of which are divide into brigades ranging from 200 to 500 men depending on their role, i.e. cavalry, infantry, engineers, etc.

The divisions provided by each prefecture of Jalinjeri are as follows, including the divisions which are marked as "at liberty" during peacetime:

Jalinbeti Prefecture[edit]

Since the founding of the town of Jalinbeti, Hedgewind Jalinbeti has been recruiting for the local military. Unlike divisions anywhere else in the world, the divisions of [Jalinbeti]] contain equally distributed numbers of the different races who make up the overall force. Each division will feature, for example, Grendel infantry, Human cavalry and Ælfen archers, not to mention other specialists of different races ranging anywhere from Sweardælf, to Hellspawn to Ungir.

Jalinbeti Prefecture has been able to muster upwards of fifteen divisions with a single division representing the region during peacetime:

Halperion Prefecture[edit]

Halperion Prefecture, commander of the forces of the Halperion Prefecture.

The Halperion Prefecture has been able to muster a few divisions, one of which was formed before the Garis war:

Halperion Special Forces[edit]

Jalinkalasi Prefecture[edit]

Jalinkalasi Prefecture is formerly a part of Karazalik and its military recriuting was nearly entirely from within, with many volunteers from the Karazaliktar from the south. They have also recruited the Aydahar and Ontustikter refugees displaced by the Garis aggression.

Jalinkoli Prefecture[edit]

Jalinkoli Prefecture is nearly entirely settled by Humans and Ælfes. As such their forces are nearly all made up of cavalry and archers.

Air Forces[edit]

With the migration of dragons from the recently occupied Aydahar Confederation, Jalinjeri has assembled the vestiges of an air force. They do not currently possess any airships.

Naval Forces[edit]

The Jalinjeri is currently without any naval forces. Several hundred river vessels do exist for moving people and materiel op and down the rivers between the country and its neighbors.
