[Falcon Legion Compound] Imperial Navy Offices

Timestamp: Immanis, in the First Era of the Regency of Milo L'Evienne

From here: http://www.playbypost.com/forums/paxia/...-location.html

One of the most important buildings in the city was located between the part that was built up currently and the outside. Though people had returned to the city that once was a very good trade hub fear still ran threw the hearts of many. The orcs had been beaten off and thought to be gone, but even a city of peace needs law enforcement officials and that is where the Falcon Legion compound now stood, not completely built up yet but enough to offer many citizens comfort when they passed it that the men and women there were ready and willing to give everything that they had to protect the city.

The protective wall to the compound did not yet stand fully erect but it was being worked on. The gates would be in place incase the citizens needed to fall back into the compound if an attack were to ever set in on Paxia again once they were complete that is. For now there was a small wall, maybe 3 feet high at it lowest point enough to mark off the area. They tried their best to duplicate what it had once been.

Like before two entrances had been built at the south and west. The west gate was for the use of military personnel only, the south was for anyone who had business with the legion. At each gate stood at least two guards, the south was to enquire people about what business they had and escort them if necessary to the main building.

The numbers were fewer than before but the sounds of training could be heard louder than ever. New recruits wanted to join and help Paxia. Many of these were younger men who had lost their families to the wars nd wanted to pay homage to their memories. The layout was very similar to that that it had been in the past.

To the right lay the two-storey East barracks of the newer recruits and the compound guards and beyond them, the training courtyards. To the left lay the West barracks of the other companies of the Legion, with the stables and armoury further on.

The main building was no longer the large tower that it had once been, yet at any rate though there was rumor that rebuilding was already being planned. In it’s place was a simple looking stone building. It was four stories high plus a basement. Upon entering the building one would have a feeling of smallness to them. The entrance area was wide open and made almost entirely of stone. Behind the main desk was a large wooden closed door. Those that had been to the Legion in it’s past would recognize the face of the guard that stood there.

A short walk outside of the complex was a building that was empty for the time being. Inside of it was a large desk with several chairs all around it. It could easily fit the dozen people requested. Formerly a briefing room for the vaunted Falcon Legion of Paxia, it was now the temporary shore offices of the Imperial Navy, until such time that the Paxian Naval Academy was reconstituted. Outside it flew the Imperial Standard, and the flag of Arium, and to make true their commitment, outside stood two marines in full uniform and in arms.

ARTICLE 107
Commanders and Commodores

The Lord Thane shall include the participation of any Commanders and Commodores of the Armed Forces of the Allerian Empire, who, having been stationed within the limits of the city to command regiments or armadas, respectively, shall be accountable solely to their superiors and have the responsibility to ensure defense of the locality to which they have been assigned.

Towards the End of Immanis, an invitation came from the Lord Protector to the Imperial Forces, as per the regulations of Article 107, that a senior representative and/or his senior staff come to the meeting that was going to be held the first cycle of Ponutis.

The meeting itself would be held in the Falcon Legion headquarters, so obviously logistics would not be an issue as far as figuring out where to go. Roland had attempted not to forget anyone, so there were invitations going up the line all the way to Alexis. Riconus, Teig, Keldon, Sheng, Alexis, Arkahn... invitations were written, and given to the local commander here, to forward up the chain of command at his discretion. Roland under chain-of-command, and did not want to step on the toes of anyone locally, but he still had to abide by Article 107 and make sure that it was logged in the Aedile's office that anyone who was required to have an invitation would get one. Should a certain lieutenant be mad at a certain ensign, or a petty officer be having a squabble with a lance corporal... well, that was for them to sort out and decide who was coming and who wasn't.

Roland also asked for a list of names of those who deserved posthumous recognition in defending Paxia, and for those wounded in battle. Perhaps the effort had not gone as planned, perhaps the city was a bit more full of rubble and ruin than Roland would have liked, but effort had been made. Lives had been lost. And so, regardless of how else he ended getting along with the Imperials, he wanted to make sure they understood that appreciation would be given, gallantry would have recognition rewarded.
