Provincial Army

The Provincial Army consists of two main parts. The professional regiments of the Regular Provincial Army can be added to armies for campaigns by order of the Provincial Overseer or the Emperor. The part-time soldiers of the Provincial Militia are usually only called up for defence of their own provinces. However the ruler of each province can order the militia of their own province to fight in external wars but is then responsible for their pay. Provincial Army officers are trained at the Provincial School of Battle in Mirin's Cross. This provides the officer corps with an understanding of Lunar tactics and military doctrine. Since 1611 the Provincial Overseer has frequently levied a War Tax on the provinces instead of demanding military service on the Southern Front. This unpopular tax has been used to pay for the large Tarshite military effort in Dragon Pass.

Tarsh Provincial Army

The Tarshite Army is the largest, most professional and most active of the Provincial Armies. The War Tax has paid for many of its Provincial Militia units to become, in effect, professional troops which are frequently used for service beyond the borders of Tarsh. On the list below these regiments are labelled as 'Paid' to indicate that they are operating as full time troops. The Tarsh Army has 6 mounted,7 foot and 3 magician regiments making up the Regular Army and 14 mounted and 34 foot making up the Militia. The Fyrd units are not really regiments but represent the general summons of each tribal fyrd (about 25% of the population).

Sartarite Provincial Army

Sartar is not really a province as such but it may one day become one. To encourage integration with the Empire attempts have been made to recruit local forces as the Sartar Provincial Army. The Lunar Empire can officially call out the fyrd of its allied tribes (in 1617 all the tribes are officially allied though the 'Free Tribes' wouldn't obey a Lunar summons with much enthusiasm however. See Tribal Armies for details of the Sartar Fyrd.

In 1617 Sartar has a population (over 5) of around 160 000. So the Provincial Army aims for an establishment strength of 4000 Regular troops and 16 000 militia. Currently most of the Militia still need to be raised.
