The Grandall Empire: Paradigms

Grandall operates within the form of Paradigms. The name itself was initially frowned on, however, over time, it eventually stuck. Grandall's functions are poised and operated via a CC, Central, or simply Central Command. General Girardot presides here as the Commander of the Grandall army but this position is easily controlled by the Emperor as well as his own personal advisers.

In the past, this form of control had led to a few advisers vying to control the empire, only or the plot to be unveiled and the conspirators hanged. Whether they were actually involved with the plot or merely allowing it to go on, their fates were the same.

In the present, 1605, Grandall currently as three hundred individual Paradigms that function on a slightly looser leash. But only a few are given precedence to push further than the main army. Certain squadrons whom have proven themselves or are for instance, the sons or daughters of heroes and great commanders are given such a placement. An adviser or General can help this process along as well; such is the case for Priya and Surina.

The Empire also holds its elite paradigms, or Tactical Paradigms which function as strike squadrons which are tasked with striking vital points to enemy fortifications and weaken defensive lines with either subterfuge or outright sabotage.

Act I: Gungnir
Gungnir is a recently formed Paradigm which is led by Priya Salgado, youngest daughter of Sergio Salgado, former second of the General Girardot.

Act I: Exalted
The Squadron of Exalted is prized for its blunt and swift execution of objectives. This is largely thanks to its commander, Surina Salgado. She is at times referred to as SS which is short for Stout Steel.



Act I: Relic
Relic is led by Annebella Williams. She hails from Dalkia but has resided in Grandall Territories for over ten years. During this peacetime 'tween the two giants, Annebella pledged herself into the arms of combat and strategy. After a time of this, she worked with those who preferred a more sublter approach. Gathering information and using it for both Dalkia and Grandall won her high honors when she delivered news of breeches to be exploited and supply lines to target. As such, her years of multipurposed training has been slowly taught to her squadron: Relic.

With Arrai serving as a strategist and scout, she acts as Relic's eyes and ears in a wide manner of settings. Arrai's tact alone spared many a life when Dalkia fell upon Grandall's Eastern Gates.
