Actions
- [Military] Create Tactics Tech: Yven's Gambit: (Defensive Tactic) Half Enemy Leader score, -4 Enemy Leader Loss Roll, Size and Coalition Losses rolled before battle (Pending, can and will probably change). - In his younger years Yven Chalun had studied under Deja Rhunis in all things military, specifically in tactics and the management of troops. His recent experiences with the wars between Lindeen, Lazar, and the Cinder Queen taught him that the previous reliance on the kingdom's assassins to deal with the enemy's command structure, while effective, was largely unreliable. An entirely military solution was needed. By utilizing forward scouts to identify soft targets and good points of ambush, the army is split up into smaller units to harry the enemy as they advance, often with a strong push by one unit to open the flank for another unit to strike at the enemy's vital points. These engagements are not meant to inflict casualties, rather units are taught to identify and focus efforts on officers when they show up, run down messengers to shut down communication, set fire and scuttle supply wagons and slaughtering draft animals to deny resources. The end goal being that when the final battles are held, the enemy force is disorganized and weakened for his armies to dispatch.

News and Rumors
While many of the ranger companies of the Yondari League have their own uniforms determined by their Leaders, they are often obscured by a common accessory for northern people, the cloak. As such, many of the companies adopted a similar signifier from the Ambassadors by having clasps created with their own insignia for their troops. The clasps are typically crafted out of cheap tin, copper, or bronze, with some of the more rarer metals signifying importance though no specific rank of the individual.
- The Hearthwood Rangers' insignia is that of the Darkwood symbol of the Yondari League.
- The Mistwalker Rangers' insignia is an unlit candle.
- The Stormwatch Rangers' insignia is a wave behind an axe.
- The Fangs of Sumwyrs' insignia is a spider.
- The Furbold Tribes' insignia is a cross of a mattock and shovel.
- The children of Yondari nobles, when they reach a suitable age, are tutored in the duties of their station, and learn cooperation. The teachings cover a broad number of subjects ranging from statescraft, leadership, and spiritual exploration. Though still young, Nana demonstrates an aptitude with spear and bow, quickly establishing herself as the head of their class, though equally as likely to organize, and terrorize, her classmates in Kingdoms tournaments.

The First Fang specializes in ambushes, but under Yondari training they have expanded their capabilities to also include aggressive raids. Leelath Strend is hungrily keeping an eye out where she, and her warriors, can earn personal glory and riches for her name.

- Thalos Dor Stormwatch - Based out of the coastal city of Thalos Dor, the Stormwatch is a military force 1600 strong led by the Yondarian commander Vagan Birchan. They are the closest Yondar has to a dedicated sea force, each man and woman armed with axe and bow, clad in leather and furs with slate colored cloaks, and forged and hardened by the tumultuous seas of the northern coast. They are known to be as cold as the sea in their demeanor, but are also the most rowdy, and destructive, revelers when on leave. Vagan Birchan oversees their operations and deployments with an emphasis on logistics and keeping trade flowing to and from Thalos Dor.

The Rangers herald back to the earliest warriors of the Esquirian Tribes, acting as both hunters and protectors of the tribes. The men and women of the current organization patrol the forests of Yondar armed with hand axes, shields, and bows while clad in leather and fur armor with rugged dark green colored cloaks. The rangers act as the friendly face of the Yondarian military as their duties not only involve protecting the realm from threats but also keeping an eye on the health of the forest. Luna Dovahn oversees their operations and is focused on keeping eyes on the borders of Yondar, and the nations beyond it.

- Mistwalker Rangers - Based out of the capitol, Hearth Meera, the Mistwalkers are a military force 2000 strong led by the Yondarian commander Merros Rhunas. The men and women of the Mistwalkers, as a unit, are typically clad in light, leather armor while wearing a light grey cloak and are armed with swords and bows. When deployed on individual missions, they are free to adjust their kit as they feel needed. The Mistwalkers act as agents for the Kingdom as well as working with Shamans to deal with the effects of unruly, and capricious, spirits. While their strength tends toward their work as individuals, on the field of battle, the Mistwalkers make for excellent scouts and harriers cooperating with the rest of the Yondarian military. Merros Rhunas has spent considerable efforts to update and improve the Mistwalkers, looking to the efforts of outside Kingdoms to draw inspiration from.

Deadwood Irregulars-In Yondar murderers, thieves, and bandits who are caught and found guilty of their crimes may be given the chance to join the Deadwood Irregulars rather than serve their sentence. The Irregulars consist of about 1000 men and women, mostly criminals with a core of hard bitten officers to keep them in line; the Yondarian commander Maeve Chalun is in charge of them. The Deadwood are based near Mistholm, near Carraig Dún, both serving as the first line of defense against anything that would come out of Carraig Dún. The Deadwood Irregulars undergo brutal training and exist for one purpose alone, unleashing absolute devastation upon the enemies of Yondar, and are treated with awe and suspicion by most of the populace. Unlike the other Military forces the Irregulars tend to have no set uniform and equipment though many tend to favor bows, the only uniform between the members of the unit is a band of briars tattooed around the right arm.With their numbers greatly diminished, Maeve Chalun is currently focused on rebuilding the irregulars, a slow task given their methods of recruitment. In the current moment, the Irregulars are in no condition to act as a military force.Gnawed Bone Tribal Warriors- The Gnawed Bone Tribe's warriors were the most mercenary of the Furbold tribes in Ovrdre before the Unification under Yondar, fighting for food, and gold for any who would supply it. They are Furbolds, 2000 strong, under fearless leadership of Mur'do'Vor'do'Gor'do'Phor'do'Chur Ghol, Chief of the Gnawed Bone tribe, and they specialize in sapping, ambush tactics, and swarm fighting. Chief Mur'do'Vor'do'Gor'do'Phor'do'Chur Ghol is eager to get into a fight with anything just to see how these Yondor types do it.[/S] With the death of Chief Mur'do'Vor'do'Gor'do'Phor'do'Chur Ghol in the battle of Lascienmo in ~IR 188, Participated in Battle of Lascienmo. Wiped out.High Chieftess Daz's Warband- High Chieftess Daz'do'Daza'do'Daz leads an army of furbolds 2500 strong. Like many furbolds they are armed with reinforced battle-shovels, battle-picks, battle-mattocks and gumshoot slings. Many of their number count as earth shamans, capable of reshaping the earth and rock of the battlefield, and furbold engineers (for a lose value of the word).High Chieftess Daz'do'Daza'do'Daz is eager to get her chance to solo one of the dragons. ~194 Participated in Battle of Coatl, wiped out.Lazar Mercenary Unit #2- Formerly associated with Captain Mar of Lazar, Captain Vista and her troops maintain a garrison in Thalos Dor. ~IR 194, Participated in Battle of Coatl, Wiped out.- Deja Rhunis - Yondarian General. Her cold, forceful nature earned her a stint in the Deadbranch Irregulars where she flourished, both in tempering the criminal tendencies of the Irregulars under her command, while also forging them into an efficient military unit. -RETIRED-
