The Motherland Guard presents itself as a provider of military advisory services to a wide range of organizations. With advisors dispersed throughout the realm, this group has existed for centuries, though its decentralized structure results in infrequent communication between its various chapters. Adherents of Ares comprise the majority of Motherland Guard members, aligning their combat expertise and bellicose aspirations with the interests of their war-favoring deity while assisting groups and nations in enhancing their martial training and national defenses. However, theologians argue that the "Guard" moniker is merely a facade, with the organization's true agenda focused on instigating conflicts rather than maintaining defensive postures. Consequently, theocratic states with formidable military forces typically prohibit the Motherland Guard from operating within their territories.
Motherland Guard boasts chapters dispersed across the Bal-Kriav region. While they may appear decentralized and solely motivated by profit from training your soldiers, do not be misled! They operate as agents of Ares, intent on deploying your armies to war, and through their casualties and potential conversion, send soldiers to the war god's Acheron battlefields.
