The Amansir


The Amansir are a quasi-military body created by TAERA to safeguard the frontier from feral Augurs, Scions, and other threats to civilization.


History

The Amansir were established by commanding veterans of the Violate War, who recognized the need to repurpose and support traumatized veterans and protect the newly established settlements from the horrors of the frontier.


More an underfunded mercenary company than a military force, this nameless group of 17 men began its operations from a Baron's holiday home in Southern Eridinea.


They quickly established themselves as a respectable, dependable and experienced force in repelling bandits, terrorists, and even with difficulty, began to destroy known Scion's haunting the south. They rose to prominence with the arrest and dissolution of the Botash Caravans, a feat previously thought impossible by military advisors to TAERA.


Given an enormous fund by the economic alliance, their once temporary home turned into the first Black Tower of the now formally named Amansir; named so after the Heraldic protector of wayfarers, Amansir Abinshur.


The Amansir spread north to the Central Planae, protecting frontier settlements from without. What the Amansir and TAERA where not prepared for was frontier towns being destroyed from within; the trauma of the Violate War and the stress of frontier existence became co-morbid with accelerated forms of Rampancy, now cropping up all over Enaeth.


To combat the stresses of engaging with Feral Rampants, now a regularity in the frontier, the Amansir was reorganised into a faith-based police force, each member earning the honorary 'brother' or 'father' title and dedicating themselves to LNTR as peacemakers of the frontier.


Unable to respond in a timely matter to village massacres, Amansir began regular postings in frontier settlements, collaborating with local Merse or elders to identify potential Rampants, and if possible, treat them or remove them from the village for respite care.


Slowly, the respected Amansir became objects of concern, then dread when their banners would fly towards a town as their methods became increasingly harsher.


The Amansir of today are beloved in city-states as heroes, who regularly risk their lives to safeguard theirs, but feared in the frontier by Augurs and vagrants alike, where decisions are quick and judgements, final.


Attempts have been made by the latest Grand Father, Jethe Bornheld, a founding member of the Amansir, to mitigate the zealous, self-protecting faction formenting within the towers to little avail.


Some within TAERA as well worry the Amansir, now the premier military force in Enaeth, may soon sever itself from the alliance all together...
