Additional Battle Orders

**This is written on plain parchment in a neat educated hand. It is marked with the royal seal.**

Defenders of Valorn,

We have listened to many of your recommendations for strategy and one tone rang true for all of us. Marc after tireless marc you fight bravely, courageously and with great determination in order to keep the darkness from our homes and to ensure that the Demon Lord's grip doesn't suffocate all that we hold most dear. As many of you are aware, the Order of Iron Knights is charged with both the protection of the High Queen and to take the lead when coordinating the defenses. We have won and lost battles but we have not done this alone. That is why we wanted to share with you some of our language as well a slight change in the method of sharing information. We believe that this will allow to us to deal with the dangers we are faced with more efficiently and effectively.

We believe that when we fight with one heart united, we will never truly know defeat. It is important that everyone shares a clear understanding of the command structure, the danger at hand, and whether the danger has passed or if more help is needed. In the spirit of collaboration we have decided to share the way that we, within the Order, communicate in these circumstances.

The language is structured, but flexible. We re-emphasize the need to respond, report, and continue the defense where you are able to fight. Below are some simple terms which are commonly used by the Order to enable accurate communication.

We define three main levels of danger.

A Raid: a single threat to a town or significant area.
The threat should be dealt with as quickly as possible. Please inform a Knight that the raid has been cleared or if it hasn't been. If the Queen is holding an audience and there is danger, hold and wait for orders from her or one of the Knights.

An Assault: A collection of raids that appear to be targeting a specific location.
A Knight, with your help, will secure the area as quickly as possible and if necessary send out search parties and scouts to other locations.

An Attack: Multiple raids at multiple locations.
A Knight will take up command, coordinating from the Throne room. Head to the nearest danger and report to the Knight in Command. If there is danger elsewhere, do let the knight in charge know you are able to fight elsewhere. If you are not sure which one is taking up the Command post, they will most likely let you know quickly.

The defenses are at their strongest when adventurers are moving from location to location in quick succession and information moves around not only quickly, but clearly and accurately. We have created, for the sharing of information, three specific roles: Scouts, Defenders and Lookouts.

Scout: The creatures will no longer fight you and you can pass by unharmed.
Defender: Fighting that particular raid.
Lookout: The creatures are too powerful for you to be effective and you risk immediately being sent to your Life Monument or you are already there recovering from an encounter.

We appreciate that you have taken the time and made the effort to strengthen our defenses against the Demon Lord. We request that you spread the word to others in order to simplify the reporting and coordination of our defense efforts, as you fight together and mentor young adventurers who will soon join the battlefield by our sides.

Thank you, again, for all that you have done and for working so closely with us in our endeavors to bring peace to all of Valorn. The Iron Knights protect the High Queen and act on her behalf to best ensure the safety of the realm. Your cooperation with them during raids, assaults and especially during attacks is necessary and appreciated. If no Iron Knight is able to attend quickly then you should ensure that any trouble is dealt with swiftly. If it appears to have been an assault or an attack, please let an Iron Knight know as soon as possible what has occurred. They may make use of this information in future strategy planning. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact one of the members of the Order.

Sincerely in service,

The Iron Knights.
