Sparrows Reckoning

This army page represents only bare bones information, and will be expanded with more details in the future.

Overview

The Sparrows Reckoning were raised by Senate motion proposed by Cesare Sanguineo Rezia Di Tassato, then Senator for Tassato, during the Winter Solstice 386YE. Mustering completed shortly before the Summer Solstice 388YE, around a core of bravos and ambitious soldiers from Tassato. The motion received support from Emperor Vesna Borkovna Prochnost using the Hand of the Chancellor, and was named in reference to her personal heraldry.

The third League general leads the Sparrows Reckoning, and is appointed (or re-appointed) at the Spring Equinox each year.

Sparrows

• Players starting a new League character based in Tassato are encouraged to consider playing an officer in the Sparrows
• Many Sparrows are Ambitious and hungry to prove themselves in the cut-throat world of League politics
• You can use a symbol of a sparrow or a sparrow-hawk to show that you are part of the army

Players who are creating new League characters based in Tassato are encouraged to consider playing an officer in the Sparrows. The army is filled with ambitious, some would say hot-headed, citizens of Tassato who have joined the army looking to get ahead. Those with their own resources or some get-up-and-go have already been singled out for the army's officer class, so it's a great background for a starting character. You don't have to have a military unit, nor even be a soldier; every Imperial army includes magicians, artisans, priests and other characters who help with logistics and support.

Being part of the Sparrows is an attitude, not a resource or a skill set. They're the youngest of three very competitive siblings. Your older siblings, the Towerjacks and the Wolves of War, have been around the block - twice. They've done everything and fought everyone, and they're famous already. The Sparrows are just setting out, and they have got everything to prove. If you're a bravo, you should be in every fight in Anvil. If you're not, then you should be constantly looking for other ways to prove that you and the other Sparrows aren't just the League's youngest army; you're also the best army.

As a member of the army, you don't have to do what your general tells you to do while you're in Anvil. Your time at the summit is effectively your own to spend as you choose. However, if you can find ways to support your general and, more importantly, the army itself, then it will make it easier for them to get established. You don't have a say in what the army orders will be, but of course you are free to encourage your general to ensure that the Sparrows go where the fighting is thickest; otherwise, they'll never get a chance to prove themselves.

Many members of the army wear a symbol of a sparrow or, in some cases, a sparrow-hawk, when they're off duty to show their allegiance. Sparrows still fight amongst themselves - Regarians and Maestrans will always have something to squabble about, but most Sparrows are determined to band together when it counts. You won't become the best army in the League unless you stick together through thick and thin.

If you're playing a long-standing character from Tassato, bear in mind that the Sparrows are your army. Most of the wealthy and powerful inhabitants of Tassato are immensely Proud of their new army and determined to do their bit to see them succeed. After all, the Pride of the city is at stake here. If you are from Tassato and you see a League citizen wearing the symbol of the Sparrows, it is a good idea to give them as much help as you can afford to. The better the soldiers are doing, the sooner people will talk about the Sparrows in the same whispered tones they use to describe the Wolves and the 'Jacks.

Army Quality : Resourceful

The best and brightest of Tassato are encouraged to work with the quartermasters of the city. Tasked with ensuring that Sparrows Reckoning always has access to adequate supplies, the army is able to rely on that logistical support to distribute resources and assign new soldiers, even while under attack.
