The Seattile militaryThe military of Seattile consist of undisciplined and disciplined soldiers. But also makes use of "man's best friend". Long ago a group of mages breed a group of dogs with werewolves (or so the ledgends say), and the result was the Seattilan Wolfhound. A dog that can understand the most complex plans and has the best smelling, hearing, and fighting skills for any dog. People from defrent lands would notice that Seattile smells like wet dog, as nothing is more important to them than their wolfhounds. There are even more hounds then there are Dwarves in Seattile. A Wolfhound is also a symbol of power in Seattile, the more hounds a noble has, the higher their rank.
The most famous military orders in the Seattile Kingdom are the Templars and the Silver Knights. The Templars are the most powerful of the military orders and are incharge of most of the banks in Seattile. Their main job is to hunt down any rouge mages that use dark magic, and if anyone is caught using Necromacy (Summoning of the dead and controling them or anything like that) and Blood Magic, are killed on site. Blood Magic is the most hated of all the dark magics in Seattile, for it uses blood as a power soruce, and is considered the magic of Demons. The Templars armed with training spaning centuries and their unshakeable faith are one of the mosted feared, respected, and powerful forces in Middle Trav Khar.

Silver KnightsThe second order is the Silver Knights, who as the name says wear a form of silver known as Silverite which is the same armor the Templars wear because it is enchanted silver that is not only a weapon against werewolves, but is also resistant to magic. The Silver Knights are a branch of the Templars that mainly fight the werewolves in the southern forests. They are so respected that they can conscript anyone they think has the skills to fight the werewolves, from lowly slave (if there were slaves in Seattile) to a person of noble birth, anyone could become a Silver Knight, weather they like it or not.
Dragon Slayers are the third most powerful order of knights. Their main duty is to fight and kill any and all dragons in Seattile and then Middle Trav Khar. The Dragon Slayers use weapons and tactics made to fight dragons and the Order of the Black Dragon.
Order of the Black DragonUnlike all the other orders of Seattile this one is considered the only evil one since their may goal is to unleash a powerful dragon on Seattile and the world. Most of the order is made of Goblins since they worship dragons, but there are a few humans, elves and dwarves that are members. But those who are members if found are killed on sight. High ranking members, if they have magic, are given the power to turn into a dragon, through a unknown ritual. Their arch-rivals are the Dragon Slayers of Southern Seattile.
Dragon Knights:The Dragon Knights are the inner circle of the "Order of the Black Dragon" and are given the power to turn into dragons. There are only a dozen of these knights at a time and each one serves a dragon. Ragnar is the most powerful of the dragon knights and serves the dragon known only as the "Black Dragon" or " the Master".
The Circle of MagiThe circle's are the training center for all mages in Seattile. Every city has a circle, which are located old forts and each one has Templars watching their every move, so if they use forbidden magic the Templars can easily kill the mages useing dark magic. Anyone who uses dark magic is called a Maleficar, any mage who does not belong to a Circle either they never were part of a Circle or they ran away from the Templars are Apostates, but they don't useally use dark magic. Anyone who is revealed to be a mage is sent to the Circle as soon as possable, most mages are taken from their families at a early age and won't see them for a long time sometimes never again.

There are also many apostates/maleifcars that live in the forests in western Seattile but few go there willingly. There are also rumors that some of these mage fugitives can shapeshift into dragons.
Standard militaryChevaliers: The elite of the Seattilan knights that don't belong to the Templars, the Sliver Knights or the other notable orders. They follow the codes of chivalry, and will always charge the enemy on hoseback, but if they have to, they will dismount and fight on foot. They and their horses are also covered in steel or Sliverlite armor.
Longbowmen: They are the main archer force of the Seattile Kingdom. In almost every battle they will put wooden stakes in front of them so enemy knights on hoseback won't be able to trample them. In many battles in Seattile history it was the longdow and the wolfhound that won battles.
Crossbowmen: Most milta use a crossbow due to it being easy to use and powerful. But some milita use the steel crossbow as it is more powerful but its main drawback is that it is harder to reload.
Seattilan Wolfhounds: They are used mainly against werewolves, but during the occupation of Seattile they have proven to be good as any Chevalier. Most wolfhounds are trained to take a trained knight off their horse. If fighting untrained men the wolfhounds will sometimes scare the enemy.
Raiders: These men are mostly mercenaries, going were they get payed the most. They use ships to attack towns and small villages on the coast of enemy counties and villages that are more inland but are near riviers, where most ships couldn't go. Their longships can carry about a dozen raiders. They will attack and plunder villages and then leave the towns before a larger force can counter attack.
Orzammar Military The Legion of the Dead: The elite of Orzammar. They abandon everything to reclaim their lost underground kingdom. Unlike most of the Ozammar military any dwarf can join them. Don't let the name fool you, they arn't dead... yet.
Golems: Living siege weapons. They are able to hurl large bolders at the enemy. There are very few because the knowldge to create them was lost when one of the first dwarven cities fell to the goblen horde. Since there are very few the dwarves useally use them as a last resort. They are either made out of stone or steel and infused with a magical stone known as lyium.

He fought alongside King Maric and most of the current nobles of Seattile, during the war and made a name for himself as a cunning general and doing anything to free his homeland. It was he who led the Seattilans to virctory at the last battle of the liberation, at the river Dane, and became known as the 'Hero of the River Dane'.

Huan: Hanssen's trusted companion, he is never far from his side. This wolfhound is named after a wolfhound of legend who was said to be as big as a small horse and was deadly in battle, able to kill many werewolves and defeat a shapeshifter of great power, who took the shape of the most powerful werewolf in Seattile. Huan (Hanssen's hound) is bigger than most wolfhound and deadly in battle so many think Huan is an descendant of the great Huan of Legend
Huan means great wolf.
Jacques de Molay: The current Grand Master of the Templars. He will do almost anything to root out Maleifcars and any mage not under his control, even if they are not from Seattile. He is the opposite of Captain Hanssen. Many jokenly say thar he is as stubbern as a wolfhound, but than again most Seattilans are.
Knight-Commander Richard Teagan: As a Silver Knight, he is a vetern of many battles against the werewolves in southern Seattile. He is well liked by his men (and wolfhounds). He carries a huge war hammer that would make any dwarf proud and he also has beard that would make a dwarf proud.

Prince Martin Theirin: He is the younger half-brother of King Cailan and was raised by the Silver Knights in secert.
Ragnar: Not much is known about the man who willingly serves the "Black Dragon". But he is known by his jet-black armor and the ability to turn into a dragon at will. He is a descendent of those who traped the "Black Dragon" in a statue but he dosen't know this. Due to his powers he is considered an Apostate or Malificar by some. His power was given to him by the "Black Dragon". Ragnar is also a high ranking member of "the Order of the Black Dragon"
