The Eldritch have enough security pieces that they need their own organizing page. This can include the Eldritch Knightly Orders.

Knightly Orders

Navy

I don't think we have an official Eldritch navy page, so.

  • Core of ten deprecated long-range couriers purchased from the Alliance.

Uniforms: "The Eldritch Navy was apparently calling back to their many human antecedents, because their jackets were double-breasted with rows of buttons and embroidery that no doubt meant something but Vasiht’h didn’t know what yet." [1] The colors are white and silver and gold, and the formal uniform involves a half capelet and dress sword. The head of the navy wears a sash.

Members of naval intelligence wear dark gray.

Contractors wear tabards over their existing uniforms or clothes.[2]

Known Ships

The naval core was initially ten vessels.

Security Services

White Swords

Eldritch who guard the Monarch against physical attacks [3] Their drills are as old as Settlement and start with single-person exercises, led by one person, and then paired drills. All drills begin with a formal bow.

Previous captains of the Swords: [4]

  • Hirianthial
  • Suleven, out of Jisiensire; he doubtless felt compelled to live up to Hirianthial's example [5]
  • Thelerenan, out of Nuera; a handsome man, and steady, with more of a sense of humor than Suleven [5]

White Dirks

The contingent of White Swords who were appointed to attend Sediryl. They chose the name themselves.[3] Initially a rotating duty, with the Swords entering into and out of the contingent.

White Shields

Eldritch with stronger-than-average mind talents, and have been trained in their use, and attached to the White Swords. Instituted by Valthial Trena Firilith. [3]

The White Shields' uniform is white but edged with black, rather than the red of the Swords.[6]

Jahir's Retinue

When the members of the Eldritch court (both friend and foe) insisted that the infamously private prince-consort be assigned his own retinue of guards, Val and Hirianthial undertook the choosing of a selection of Eldritch (and two Pelted) who might serve him on his excursion to Anseahla with Vasiht'h to pick up the Glaseah's infants. During this visit, Jahir decided not to fight the combined desires of the political factions, and accepted as personal retinue the Eldritch members of the excursion.[7] The two Pelted members were assigned to the imperial family, but not specifically to him (so Noah and Aria will show up as Vasiht'h's family's guards, or as part of Sediryl's, or in addition to White Swords assigned to Liolesa for a function, but not giving fealty to Jahir, specifically).

Hirianthial and Val chose people they thought would be well-suited to Jahir's permanent household. They required volunteers, and picked a group that worked well with one another as well as being comfortable with aliens, and of making the distinction between good Chatcaava and bad Chatcaava. They were also chosen for their willingness to work with mind-mages, and to leave Escutcheon for other worlds if necessary. After their selection, they were informed of Jahir's history in the war.

The initial memberhship was composed of six Swords: two Mathanith, one Deriline, two Galare, and one from the regions formerly held by Jisiensire. All were from tenant families, though the captain is suspected of being a discarded by-blow.

Two Pelted were also assigned to Jahir by the Lord of War. Might not be permanent.

Val picked the Shield for the retinue, and particularly wanted someone who was a Sword before he was a Shield. (Not all Shields had the Sword training.)

Later, their numbers grew to fifteen, and then twenty, as Jahir assigned them to his family members' protection.[8]

Contractors and Based Personnel

This is for the people on loan to Liolesa from Fleet or Terra, so I won't forget who's wandering around.
