His Majesty's Armed Forces History Founded in 802 by King Joseph I shortly after the fall of the Rivieran Empire. Originally, a militia consisting of common farmers as well as units of the former Imperial Army, the force grew significantly during the following seven years of conquest. When King Charles II ascended to the throne in 1007, he ordered a naval service to be established, bearing the name, His Majesty's Marines or simply the Royal Marines. Nearly two centuries later, many conflicts and skirmishes have aided in the development of the military. Politics of the Military In Greater Rivieria, or the Kingdom of Rivieria, the military has a strict hierarchy. With the King leading the armed forces alongside a Marshall elected by his peers, the nobles of Greater Rivieria. Below the Marshall, is the King's advisor on military affairs, the Head Constable. The Head Constable, an official appointed by the Monarch is in charge of the King's Army as well as the Kingdom's forces. Below the Head Constable are two other officials also with the name of Constable, one dealing with the affairs of the Army and the other with the affairs of the Marines. The Kingdom with no standing Army - unlike its counterpart the Rivierian Confederation, or Lesser Rivieria - relies on its nobles, furthermore its knights to gather forces when needed. During the rise of tension or when the Marshall summons them, knights will gather their reserves and meet with their noble superiors. However, rural patrols and policing units keep the peace when the Army is disbanded. Nobles in Service - WIP
