The '''Fyrish Armed Forces''', known as '''Fyrdfor''' (Fēþisc: Fyrdfōr), are the military services responsible for the defence of the [[Federated Fire Territories]] (Commonly known as Fyrland). As an arm of the executive, they concurrently promote Fyrland's broader interests within the global community of Septentrion. The [[Council of Five (GoF)|Council of Five's]] acting Fire-lord is the commanding executive body, forming military policy with the [[Directorate of Defence (DoN)]].

Since the [[Tael-arende accord]], the armed forces have participated in numerous conflicts involving the world's top powers; including the [[Dabo-Diniberi wars]], the [[War of Serenoran Succession]], and the Leo-Terran wars. Fighting effectively through the late 19th and early 20th century conflicts the armed forces played a crucial role in Fyrland establishing itself as a leading economic and military power.

===Fire Navy===
===Fyrflota===
Coastal trade and connections played critical roles in maintaining both the early growth of the nation and seats of power within Fyrland. The task of protecting this called for a maritime force, with a pseudo-navy forming in 1552 as a result of external pressures. This new maritime force, consisting mainly of Casaterran mercenaries, provided the bulk of early national maritime defence. Later, the Tael-arende accord brought the paramilitary naval forces into federal jurisdiction.

===Federal Army===
===Fyrd===
The Tael-arende accord of 1783 officially brought naval and soldiery paramilitary forces into federal control. Officially no federal arm existed before this. However, since 1620 paramilitary forces had served the purpose of an interim federal army, with the state militias providing the majority of national defence. The first official Federal Army unit, 1st Infantry Division "Black Dog", consisted primarily of Casaterran trained ex-paramilitary forces, and played a vital role in the suppression of the [[Thrall Rebellion]].

From 1620 the task of raising local defence forces fell to elected officials known as Protectors of the Realm. This title and role combined with State Governors in 1783 and forces raised by the Governor operate as an irregular army under state control.

===Federal Airforce===
===Lyftfyrd===
During the War of Serenoran Succession, airpower demonstrated it could play a key role in military action. Providing intelligence-gathering above what was previously possible, aircraft afforded 20th-century Fyrish generals huge advantages over their predecessors. These early aircraft operated under Federal Army authority during Serenoro's war of succession, eventually falling under Federal Airforce control in 1920.

The Fyrish Armed Forces, known as Fyrdfor (Fyrish: Fyrdfōr), are the military services responsible for the defence of the Federated Fire Territories (commonly known as Fyrland). As an arm of the executive, they concurrently promote Fyrland's broader interests within the global community of Septentrion. The Council of Five's acting Fire-lord is the commanding executive body, forming military policy with the Directorate of Defence (DoN).

Since the Tael-arende accord, the armed forces have participated in numerous conflicts involving the world's top powers, including the Dabo-Diniberi wars, the War of Senese Succession, the Pan-Septentrion War, and the Abyaalan Wars. Fighting effectively through the late 19th and early 20th century conflicts the armed forces played a crucial role in Fyrland establishing itself as a leading economic and military power.

Today, the Fyrish Armed Forces consist of the Fȳrflota, a federal blue-water navy; the Fyrd, a federal land warfare branch; the Milite, the state guard reserve; and the Lyftfyrd, a federal air force.

History

Fyrflota

Coastal trade and connections played critical roles in maintaining the nation's early growth and seats of power within Fyrland, and protecting this called for a maritime force, with a pseudo-navy forming in 1552 due to external pressures. This new naval force, consisting mainly of Casaterran mercenaries, provided the bulk of early national maritime defence. Later, the Tael-arende accord brought the paramilitary naval forces into federal jurisdiction.

Fyrd

The Tael-arende accord of 1783 officially brought naval and soldiery paramilitary forces into federal control. Officially, no federal arm existed before this. However, since 1620, paramilitary forces had served the purpose of an interim federal army, with the state militias providing the majority of national defence. The first official Federal Army unit, the 1st Infantry Division "Black Dog", consisted primarily of Casaterran-trained ex-paramilitary forces and was vital in suppressing the Thrall Rebellion.

Milite

From 1620, the task of raising local defence forces fell to elected officials known as Protectors of the Realm. This title and role combined with State Governors in 1783, and forces raised by the Governor operate as an irregular army under state control.

Lyftfyrd

During the War of Serenoran Succession, airpower demonstrated it could play a key role in military action. Providing intelligence-gathering above what was previously possible, aircraft afforded 20th-century Fyrish generals huge advantages over their predecessors. These early aircraft operated under Federal Army authority during Siena's war of succession, eventually falling under Federal Airforce control in 1920.
