New bit of lore for you guys!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Eis and its Militias</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ever since Eis stopped being a penal colony, there's been a need to replace the old guards that maintained a semblance of law and order. Eis accomplished this with militias. The militias take the place of police, with several being "full time" members of the militias, and with other people, with other jobs, serving part time, or as needed.<br/><br/>Eis does not maintain a standing army, as it has always been viewed as not a necessity. If ever another nation invaded, the militias could pretty easily be organized into a rudimentary military; that's the logic behind that. <br/><br/>Nowadays, almost all healthy adults are part time militia members.  They're usually only so-so in a fight, wielding whatever traditional weapons and makeshift armor they can cobble together, although militia leaders tend to have genuine armor. <br/><br/>Each of the militias for each town had its own name, and a symbol to mark the members. <br/><br/>In <strong>the capital</strong>, the militia is known as <strong>The Irregulars</strong>. A significant number of them use tridents, and other maritime weaponry, as a great deal of them are also fishermen and women. Their emblem is a white eye on dark red background. <br/><br/><strong>Schwarz's</strong> militia are known as the <strong>Yeti's</strong>, and they mainly use axes; being lumberjacks, they are quite familiar with the weapon as a tool. They are fairly robust, and of all the militias, the second most well-trained. Their symbol is two crossed axes; white on a blue background.<br/><br/>The militia in <strong>Feur</strong> are known as the <strong>Mountain Men</strong>. They've adopted the picks used in mining as improvised weapons of great destructive potential. As far as militias go, they are single-handedly the best armed, armored, and trained. Mind you, they're still ordinary people, many without an Aura or Semblance to bolster their strength.  The 'general' of the Mountain Men is a man named Conrad, who is a former Hunter. Their emblem is a hand holding Dust; bright red on a black background.<br/><br/><strong>Pridefall's</strong> former militia were known as the <strong>Spirits</strong>. Their banner was a black lion's head on a white background. The Spirits were almost entirely killed off when pridefall was destroyed; remnants merged with the Irregulars, Yeti's, and Mountain Men.<br/><br/><strong>Blut's</strong> former militia was known as <strong>The Blooded</strong>. Their was no commonly used weapon amongst this small militia. The former emblem for them was two crossed swords; yellow on a blue background. None of The Blooded survived the destruction of Blut.<br/><br/><strong>The Laughing Skulls</strong> was the name of the militia from <strong>Dirge</strong>, and as one might expect, skulls featured quite prominently as their emblem; a yellow-white skull on black background. The militia was known to predominantly favor the use of two weapons: staves, and maces. Since most of the people from Dirge managed to survive and flee their settlement, the remaining members of The Laughing Skulls were gradually absorbed into the Eis Irregulars.<br/><br/><strong>Timberfall,</strong> like all the others, had its own militia; and like Blut and Pridefall, they were massacred, by Grimm or the unforgiving weather of Eis. They were originally known as the <strong>Timberfall Hounds</strong>, and like the Yeti's, favored axes. The emblem they used was a pitbull's head, burnt orange in color, on a red background.  <br/></div></div>
