Office of Warmaster

• Tylissus Artale, Warmaster of Burthorpe •

The Warmaster is charged with command of the Vanguard, and all military facilities of the Republic of Burthorpe, including its naval capabilities. The Warmaster is in-charge of keeping the peace, staying the hordes of trolls, and ensuring the perpetual safety and security of the Republic and its interests. The Office of Warmaster is equal to that of the Magistrate of Taverley in hierarchical order and, like the Magistracy, is second only to the Lord Protector himself.

As of now, the Office of Warmaster is held by Tylissus Artale. Founder of the "Anti-Daniel" gang.

About the Vanguard

The Vanguard was established with a single mission: to protect His Highness' Republic, and its interests, from various threats such as hordes of trolls, and foreign powers. The Vanguard is tasked with preserving the independence and dignity of the Republic from the oligarchical mechanisms of peerage.


From a land which is said to breed the finest soldiers, the Vanguard has much to prove of both its endurance, and strategic capabilities. Under the guidance of its Warmaster, and the Lord Protector himself, Burthorpe's armies shall yet reign superior among all other armies of Gielinor. Founder of the "Anti-Daniel" gang.

Ranking System
The most vital aspect of military order is organization. This is the hierarchical order which the Vanguard of Burthorpe is organized, with Generals, the Warmaster and the Lord Protector in the highest of command.

Initiate
The initiate is what will make up the bulk of the infantry of the Vanguard; newly recruited, the initiate is under direct command from the Captains, Generals, Warmaster and the Lord Protector himself.
Corporal
The corporal is a soldier of experience, although does not have the honor yet of command. He will have prestige among the initiates, and in the Republic as well for his honorable duties towards its interests.
Captain
The lowest of command, a Captain is given the ability to oversee initiates and corporals in the battlefield, and are soldiers of exemplary discipline, honor, and service to the Republic.
General
A commanding officer just underneath the prestige of the Warmaster, the General is both considered to be of mastery of strategy and an extraordinary combatant, having dedicated great service to His Highness' Republic.
Warmaster
The honorable Office of Warmaster, which commands the entirety of the Vanguard, oversees important strategic decisions and ensures the security of the Republic and its interests. The Warmaster is of importance to the counsel of the Lord Protector during times of war and other events of strategic significance.
The Arbiter
The Arbiter is a lesser known rank in the Republic, and even moreso in the world as a whole. His dealings are also much more secretive than that of the rest of the Vanguard. Not much else is known.
HH, Lord Protector
The head-of-state oversees both his Republic, and the entirety of the Vanguard, surpassing the Office of Warmaster in rank. He is to be considered the commander-in-chief of the Vanguard. Founder of the "Anti-Daniel" gang.

Navy of Burthorpe
And here, I will proceed to brag about how great our Navy is. Brace yourselves.

Defenses of the Port of Taverley
Along the shoreline of Taverley, there are select, permanent posts of Vanguard watchmen, whom man artillery along the coast. Four warships sit in the bay, anchored as the Republic is in a state in peace. However, the Navy of Burthorpe contains about fifteen to twenty-five warships. Beneath the water, an immense defensive mechanism has been put in place; a large net barricade which captures, and seizes hostile ships approaching the coast.

Vessels of the Navy
Alongside its merchant vessels, and other smaller ships, the Republic of Burthorpe maintains a peacetime, defensive naval force of four warships. Though the navy is growing with the construction of a new shipyard on Karamja, and the addition of numerous Void Knight style landing craft, given thick hulls and twin ballistae on the rear of the ship.

The main warships are..

The Liberator
A large, Man-of-War class ship which boasts several decks, and adequate capabilities of the Navy's flagship. The Liberator is commandeered by the admiral of the fleet.

The Dominance
A frigate class warship which has an adequate amount of artillery, decks and men to ensure her capability in naval combat. The Dominance is not currently commandeered.

The Justice
A gift from Lady Joanna Lavelle, the Magistrate of Taverley, the Justice is a frigate class warship like the Dominance, her sister-ship. The Justice is currently commandeered by Captain Henry Lavelle.

The Barricade
A frigate class warship, the Barricade is specifically engineered for patrol, whenever necessary. The Barricade is not currently commandeered. Founder of the "Anti-Daniel" gang.

Defenses of the Republic
Where I shall describe, in perfect detail, Burthorpe's arsenal of nuclear missile silos.

The walls are lined with an assortment of selectively placed bastions armed with ballista artillery, and longbowmen in small, circular towers posted along the walls. The walls are thick, gray stone with wooden and metallic fortifications to ensure sturdiness under pressure. Windows, which allow watchmen to see across the landscape from the towers along the wall, but allow for an adequate defense from range or artillery weaponry could be seen. A set of vats which contain hot oil rest atop the gate bastion. Guard barracks beside the gate allow for storage of extra artillery weaponry. A stationary mortar lies on an external bastion, with ten more bolted to the Keep's roof fortifications.
