I agree. I'm bored with this one. Heck, I think Chris and I have only
responded since we feel some obligation to make sure that there isn't a lot
of strange interpretations of the Fan Policy or Licensing Agreements going
unchallenged. But I agree, I'm mightily bored with this one.
So instead, here are my notes on the Lunar Forces in Sartar prior to the
futile war between Tarsh and the Grazelanders in 1615. Fazzur Wideread, as
Governor-General of Dragon Pass, was prominently involved in that indecisive
set of raids and counterraids - and its overall failure was a black mark on
the great general's reputation.

*This is where the unit or detachment is nominally headquartered. In
reality troops spend much of their time patrolling Sartar.
** Yarandros' Chargers are Fazzur's preferred guard troops and are led by
many of his kinsmen.

- Alda-Chur is a political headache for Fazzur and the Tarshites, since
Harvar Ironfist can still report directly to the Provincial Overseer as a
result of his steadfast loyalty to the Empire during Starbrow's Rebellion.
The Army of Occupation is a little light on cavalry - since many of the
cavalry units were withdrawn in 1614. This has made hired Sable Tribe
mercenaries more valuable for the Lunar Occupation of Prax, and has allowed
the Pol-Joni to retreat to their March largely without interference.
