Army of the Truthful

The Army of the Truthful is predominantly human brotherhood of extreme traditionalist followers of the Light founded by High Cleric Ostrick the Zealous from the remnants of the Scarlet Crusade. They believe that all who deviate from their religious views should be exterminated with little compromise. The Book of Flame, a collection of writings from various founders and significant figures within the Scarlet Crusade, acts as scripture for the Truthful, dictating right and wrong.

Military
The military of the Army of the Truthful, also known as the Kingdom of the Light, was by and large composed of firearm or crossbow armed irregulars and skirmishers, a far cry from the heavily armored formations of disciplined footmen that was emblematic of the Scarlet Crusade.

While footmen and crusaders in the traditional sense still played a part, they were mostly an officer corps distributed among the regular militants and fighters, to both provide experience and training, as well as to inspire morale and some amount of discipline.

Most of these militants and fighters wore no armor, and rare was a fully red ensemble. Instead of a tabard, most wore headbands or armbands with religious slogans such as "In the path of the Light" or "Great is the Light" in common script. The average militant was fast and mobile, but easy to panic, not very disciplined, and hard to control in a pitched battle.

The Army made use of cannons as well as light dwarven mortars, favoring these light artillery pieces to back up a raid by militants on the ground. Most strikes were hit and run, with a volley of musketfire and crossbow bolts being lobbed towards the enemy, and then pulling back behind a treeline or a hill.
