This army page represents only bare bones information, and will be expanded with more details in the future.
Overview
Lost long ago, the Burning Falcon were famous (and in some cases infamous) for the passionate zeal with which they fought. In 248YE the Burning Falcon army was destroyed by the Jotun while fighting to defend the academy at Ishal in Kallavesa. Since their loss of it the Coast has not enjoyed such a large and organised force of kohan on the battlefield - although recent developments have suggested that the army may at last be on the verge of rising from the ashes. Not that the Burning Falcon is without controversy of its own - Emperor Nicovar took control of the army and wielded it as a brand to burn the libraries of the Empire. Some historians suggest that it was lingering resentment for their role in the burning of the libraries that lead to the Falcon being left to fight alone against a force of orcs three times its size.
