Pikes for Templars in Blackram Lands

Posted by Tenebry on 02/24/20
Sir Preston establishes a training school for Templars in Blackram, a training school that emphasizes pike combat, the defense against mounted enemies. Naturally, this is a practical school, and its students and post-students spend a good amount of time monitoring the movements on mountain passes.

Marquessa Teagan selects a top Stonegiant lieutenant to oversee the school's planning and Templar training. Lord Gaston teaches the Templars the landscape, from Stoneburner Hills to the Red Mountains. Legate Cassandra oversees the philosophical and religious part of the training and mediates between Templars and the peerage to ensure the school is well-integrated. Dame Flora, meanwhile, works on death-goat and Templar integration. Dame Ida designs a triad of three steel tubs to host flame at the top of watchtowers (or not host flame, as communication demands). Lord Jourdain works with Ida to create the signalling method, and to advise on the position of the watchtowers.

It's a well-organized, well-coordinated effort that not only provides the Templars with trained pikemen (used to goats), but with improved relations with the Blackram and a better system of warning. Should it come to warnings.
