Dessith Cavalry

In the interests of inter-kingdom cooperation and as a remnant of The Wedding Gift Alliance, a unit of Dessith Cavalry has been assigned to Fort Vickery. There has been noticeable tension between the Dessith Troopers and the Kedran Infantry due to the Dessith's loose discipline and attitudes of superiority. The pernicious Dessith attitudes have also led to problems with the Dragonborn Mercenaries and the Vickery ODF.

The unit is commanded by Captain Justinus, who is officially second in command of the Fort. Justinus has felt slighted by how much Brigadier Hawthorn relies on Or-Jhann for advice and as a result been extremely lax in his duties as Second. In addition, Justinus maintains that discipline is a unit matter and allows his men much more freedom than Hawthorn's infantry. It is not generally known, but available to those with appropriate contacts that Justinus has run up a considerable debt at Knocking Boots.

Senior Lt. Ardius, is Justinus' second in command and fourth in command by rank over the fort. Ardius is a heavyset man of few words. He is a teetotaler, and, while he frequents Knocking Boots with his commander, never seems to be enjoying himself. The joke among the Kedran Infantry is that he ended up with the whole unit's allotment of self discipline.
