[MR] Northern Regional Badge Polling. Please Read if youarefromthe Northern Armies. :)

[Arthur Donadio]

Actually, when I was warlord for Atlantia (and Prince/King?) I met with the 
regional commanders at Ymir and asked each of them to work with the groups 
that made up their commands to devise unit insignias on a standard size 
banner and pole so that when the Atlantian army musters, it would be easier 
for fighters arriving at the field to quickly find their relative position 
within the Atlantian order of battle for any given battle.  This would also 
make it easier to reform in best of three scenarios or in resurrection 
scenarios.  The impetus was not to "divide" the kingdom or its people, but 
rather to better organize an army in the field.  Under our system of 
heraldic registry, however, you cannot register a badge to "the Atlantian 
Army" (at least that is how I understand it).

I hope that each region, and the cavalry continue with this effort.  My 
vision is a tall kingdom banner in the center of our muster with the Kingdom 
warlord banner easily seen beside it, and the regional banners marking 
muster around the center for each of the regions.  If the regional 
commanders muster near their banners, it makes it much easier for the king 
and warlord to find the commanders and vice versa.  As an aside, it would be 
my advice that these banners not be carried onto the field of battle, but 
instead remain on the sidelines to mark the point for reforming the troops 
after the engagement.  This approach also ensures that no enemy will ever 
carry one of those banners from the field in the event of disaster and 
afterward attempt to ransom them back to our proud kingdom.
