The [[Hounds of Glory]] very publicly strive to be the most [[glory|glorious]] army in the Empire; while few are so gauche as to say it openly that comes with the clear understanding of every Hound that that means they are the greatest army in the Empire. The soldiers who fight beneath the banners of the Hounds of Glory have prided themselves on their unstoppable nature since the army was founded. The core of the army are battle-hardened knights arrayed in gleaming armour, their shields proudly displaying their house and personal sigils. They are supported by cadres of archers and witches, but what has long made them unique in the Empire is the Courage and the conviction that they draw from their surety of purpose and their commitment to glory above all other things. In battle they go where the glory is found, where the fighting is thickest, where legends are written.
The [[Wolves of War]] are an extremely versatile fighting force. Many of the soldiers in this army are [[bravos]] from the roughest parts of [[Temeschwar]] and [[Tassato]], supported by talented engineers from [[Holberg]] and [[Sarvos|Sarvosian]] scouts. They are also adept at working with [[Army qualities#Mercenary|mercenary]] troops, taking advantage of the great wealth of the League to employ specialist units to help them on campaign.


Driven by the need to prove themselves themselves first among equals, and capitalising on the enthusiasm generated by the Dawnish victories, they have recruited knights from all over Dawn and challenged each to prove their glory in ever more demanding ways. Few can doubt their absolute commitment to their ideals, and their indomitable spirit makes them a formidable force on the battlefield capable of [[Army qualities#Indomitable Glory|truly remarkable feats]]
In Autumn 378YE, the [[Dawn|Dawnish]] [[Archmage]] of Autumn, Maurice de Gauvain, took clever advantage of a rare conjunction to gather the [[ilium]] needed to place a permanent [[Bound by Common Cause]] [[enchantment]] on the Wolves of War. This enchantment greatly enhances the ability of the army to work with Imperial [[military unit|military units]]. It coincidentally means that the General of the Wolves of War is subject to a [[roleplaying effects|powerful magical influence]], but it remains to be seen how far-reaching this effect will be.


There is some friendly rivalry between the Hounds of Glory and the [[Golden Sun]], and when their soldiers meet they often engage in contests of strength and martial might.

Overview

The Wolves of War are an extremely versatile fighting force. Many of the soldiers in this army are bravos from the roughest parts of Temeschwar and Tassato, supported by talented engineers from Holberg and Sarvosian scouts. They are also adept at working with mercenary troops, taking advantage of the great wealth of the League to employ specialist units to help them on campaign.

In Autumn 378YE, the Dawnish Archmage of Autumn, Maurice de Gauvain, took clever advantage of a rare conjunction to gather the ilium needed to place a permanent Bound by Common Cause enchantment on the Wolves of War. This enchantment greatly enhances the ability of the army to work with Imperial military units. It coincidentally means that the General of the Wolves of War is subject to a powerful magical influence, but it remains to be seen how far-reaching this effect will be.

The first League General leads the Wolves of War army, and is appointed (or re-appointed) at the Autumn Equinox each year.
