Lorenthalian Marine Corps.

The Lorenthalian Marine Corps. form the bulk of the naval forces within the Commonwealth of Lorenthal. They are hardened, dedicated mariners, put through years of grueling training to meet the standards necessary for them to find victory at home and abroad. Each Marine is considered to be one of the finest in his profession, given the right to bear the surcoat with the likeness of an anchor based solely on merit. The Marines man some of the finest ships in all of Estoria: They man their cannons, they defend their decks, and they board those who would try to bring them down. They fight with sabers, parrying daggers and sometimes bucklers in combat, their fighting expertise focused on the merits of fluidity and individual combat. Each man carries with him three flintlock pistols, tools to be used to escape certain death or to end any conflict. Despite the Lorenthalian Civil War they have remained strong in number and purpose, their oaths inexorably linking them to the government regardless of who leads it. The Corps. was split by the war, however, many of the Marines sailing with Queen Cerys to the New Lands.
