(Is Luciun in 5E 131? Or 132? I'd assume 131, because Luciun was a year behind before the year began, but it's best to check.

I assume that there's nothing wrong with Robert)

(Robert is still sixteen. His birthday is so late in the year, it might as well be the start.)

(I abstain from the Straid and Harena vote)

Luciun's army had finally mustered. After a long year, Luciun was ready to take the fight back to the bastards. From the Battle of Riverwood, Luciun had learnt that he wasn't yet ready to take on Whiterun. He'd also learnt that he needed more heavy infantry, and should probably reform his army. Luckily, the orichalcum mines he'd captured allowed him to equip his army properly, and the fact that he was more or less starting from scratch gave him freedom. He'd gained several experienced veterans, and Hadgeir had also captured Cracked Tusk Keep.

"Father," Robert said, riding up to his position in the column of march next to Luciun. He had put on the armour Luciun gave him. "Are we ready to begin?"

"Yes," Luciun replied, snapping out of thought. "MEN!"

The soldiers stopped chatting upon hearing Luciun's shout, and stood to attention.

"MARCH!"

Army Breakdown:

One hundred knights, in orcish armour. The fifty veterans have ebony plates on the armour. They all have lances and kite shields to use on horseback, and they have an assortment of swords, maces, hammers, shields, et cetera, for fighting on foot.

Six hundred heavy infantry. They have steel armour, with orcish chestplates and helmets. They have two metre long halberds, which can function as spears, and the halberds have butts at the end, for balancing and as a backup in case the shaft breaks. They have wooden bucklers, plated with steel. The fifty veteran heavy infantry have slightly longer spears which can be wielded with one hand (similar to the dory), and larger shields, to form a proper shield wall. They fight on the first rank. All the heavy infantry have one-handed backup weapons.

Five hundred forest skirmishers. They have longbows with steel bodkin arrows, which can penetrate plate armour. They have pelte style shields which they can use while firing, and have axes for close quarters (the equipment isn't standardised, but most use axes). The skirmishers have boiled leather armour, with iron studs for added protection. The one hundred veterans have thin steel scales on the armour as well.

Fifty military engineers... Not much to say about them, other than they can build things and engineer.

(If any of the military reforms are OP, I'll change them.)
