User:Zone Descriptions Project/Citadel of the Claw

The Citadel of the Claw is a military fortress and training grounds for the Claw, an elite force of the kaezulian army. Many young Iksars from all over Ikisith are sent here - or sold to here - to receive military training, but not many of them become full members of the Claw. The drill is brutal, and recruit mortality is quite high.

Generally, the Claw is organized into four sections:

The armed forces, responsible for the security of the Citadel, is led by High Myrmidon Zek'Terus.

The combat martial arts section, responsible for the training of the recruits, since Kaezul strongly believes in competition, is split in two orders: the flametalons and the icetalons. There is also a higher order, the Phoenix. Recruits who graduate either the flametalons or the icetalons receive additional training here.

The administration is overlooked by High Chronicler Noamia.

The last section is the intelligence corps. The name of its leader is kept secret, but they definitly have a jail that includes a torture chamber.

All these sections are liable to Claw Commander Era’velu, an unhumorous iksar who rules the Claw with an iron fist.
