The Dauntless, as of 2046, is the name of the military of Vdalion and it's Vassals- being a unified military for the empire as a whole. This military is by no means mandatory, but it allows all from across the Empire to pledge themselves to the defense of their unified people and to earn glory upon their names. When they are not called to battle or to train, they often can remain in the lands of their home and act as it's first line of defense. This force is not akin to most across Meranthe as there is no intricate ranking system about the forces of the Dauntless, only holding two specific ranks to be noted. 

The ranks being:

 ⚔ Thane; the General of the militant arm of the Empire, named only by the Emperor.
 ⚔ Huskarl; the Captains of the Dauntless, only one residing with each Vassal in the Empire. 

What truly sets the Dauntless apart from other militant forces across Meranthe is the emphasis upon Marks of Honor, and how they are earned and given merit to those who have acquired them. Where Marks of Honor are most often found are on the dominant arm of a member of the Dauntless, which is laid bare for the world to be seen in the uniform of the troops. Through victory and defeat, Marks of Honor can be earned by a member of the Dauntless to add unto their arm. Some may be great runes, tattoos, or even branded titles earned via great deeds. The Tears of Grimnir are a Mark of Honor, the only one, that shall not reside on the arm. These are the greatest honor given to a member of the Dauntless, set upon the visage of the one whom earned it by either the Thane or the Emperor themselves.

Marks of Honor are what separates and rewards each and every member of the Dauntless. While they may hold no rank, it is often that those whom have a great many Marks of Honor are revered and honored, their input having to be respected by others, yet not held as law.

On the dominant arm of each Dauntless however, shall resided one symbol they shall hold the most pride in. Such can be the symbol of the home, the nation they came from, or even a mark of a Primordial or Constant they most revere. The rest of the Marks of Honor they shall earn will be built around that one Great Symbol.

If you are within Vdalion or a Vassal, and wish to join this military? Please get in contact with the current Thane, Kazras Folhammar via a letter.

Smoke billows from the great forges of Grimjhall and the soldiers of the Empire are seen sporting new, freshly forged armor.

The Dauntless, comprised of Vdalion and it's Vassals, shall stand united within this new age.

Credit to Sionnach for the uniform!
