These three are the biggest global powerhouses in terms of military might. They boast a very large industrial capacity and potential. People in these three countries are accustomed to war. Because of the only recent unification and the countless wars before. (like Germany which was split into many smaller countries.)

The elite type of infantry that can be seen on all battlefields with an especially high concentration of troop or in strategic location.
It is flexible and can be used in any terrain.
An elite Infantry Division includes 9000 of this type of Soldier.
They attack in small groups, that spread out on the battlefield.
They are made up of the best infantrymen in the army.
The normal Infantry
The type of soldier that fights on all battlefields. Form Deserts, Mountains, on the shores of the sea or on plain grassland.

They fight in large formations and charge at the enemy.
Only to get mowed down by machinegun fire.
They man the trenches and defend them.
Are usually made up of all ethnicity’s and doesn´t differentiate between young or old.
Machinegun-Crew
Operate in a four-man team.
One carries ammunition,2 the machine gun itself and the fourth the rifles and more ammunition for the others. They defend the trenches or provide covering fire for the infantry. They are usually made up of the worst fighters. But this doesn´t lower their effect at all because in the situation of defense one only needs to spray at the enemy and will likely hit something.
Mobile Infantry/Cavalry Crulon Husars
Are used as messengers, scouts, logistical help, military police, fast reaction troops and for pursuing the enemy after their retreat.
In the beginning they attacked in the typical horse charge style (I will call it that).
But as the war continued on and trench warfare began to take more control over the battlefields this was replaced with the tactics mentioned.
In the end many divisions were disbanded and reintegrated into the infantry. Because many of them turned out to be excellent snipers. (the bad ones were integrated into the machinegun crews)
Bicycle Troops
Take a similar role to the cavalry but appear later in the war and take a vital role in the army as surprise offensive infantry.
Meaning they have to quickly change place and appear somewhere else where they will immediately attack. (They will leave the bicycles behind, when they attack.)
Kithian Kingdom Infantry Normal Infantry
(is an allrounder)
One Division is made up of 6000 Soldiers.
Is sometimes equipped with outdated equipment and is seen on every front of the Kithian Kingdom.
They attack in the way the terrain or the tactics of the Generals demands.
Advertisement
They have the luck of more voice in the ears of the Generals. (They don´t throw their lives away needlessly)
But they have incompetent officers. Because they are not taken because of their ability but their loyalty.
But usually they have more success than other countries because the Soldiers have the right to make decisions on the battlefield themselves.
Jäger Infantry
They are special forces of the Kithian Kingdom.
They operate in small forces and raid the enemy at night. They only take orders from their own battalion officers or a General. they are bound to no specific area and travel from battlefield to battlefield.
One Battalion is made up of 1000 Jägers, which are excellent snipers.
Usually every Infantrymen that is not part of the Jägers listens to them, because of their expirience.
Kordian Infantry Kordian Marines
The elite of the Kithian army and navy.
One division is made up of 4000 Marines and they are usually supported with machineguns.
They are trained in defending and attacking ports, rivers and cities. But also excel at attacking other position, like normal trenches or hills.
They operate in small groups and throw grenades at the enemy before launching an attack. (getting up close and then throwing into the trench)
Normal Kordian Infantry
One Division consists out of 7000 Soldiers of this type.
Here shows the focus on the navy of the country its downside. The army-tactics are at the beginning of the war outdated and not usefully integrated into modern times. But still, this division can take quite a punch and is in no way inferior to the enemy in terms of equipment.
Also, the troops themselves are excellent in using the terrain to their advantage, when ordered to attack.

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

A stone of ancient legend. Word has it that this stone is so absurdly powerful, it could grant people anything they wanted. Riches, fame, power, reformation, creation of a new world, you name it! One who obtains this stone will earn such dominance. But such absurdity has its demerits. After all, it is just a legend, right? Who would even believe in the existence of such a miraculous object? Was it even an object? Wasn't it more of an abstract energy existing within mankind? Or was it some form of celestial body that only appears during an eclipse? Where does it even exist? DOES it even exist? As such, the legend of this seemingly magical stone entered the realm of being termed as myth. Anybody stating their dream was to find the Stone of Eclipse would be branded as a laughing stock. Regardless, rumor or not, the whole idea of the stone has been deeply rooted into the history of humanity. Society, culture, kingdoms, governments, religions, cults - all have some form of group whose works are driven based on the stone. Enter, Diavolo Signore and his friends, an ignorant trio who have been sent off from their home island to learn of the world, having seen potential, by their island chief. After getting to know the story of this grand stone, they've together decided to compete between each other to see who finds and obtains it first......even if they have no idea where or how to start. Additional tags and content warnings will be added as the story progresses. Updates every Sundays.
