Imperial shire of Colombard
Shortly after the dissolution of the alliance between the halfling shires and the league of Rhordia, most of the halfling populace of Rhordia vacated the country.
Some went back to the shires. Some had other ideas. One muster captain had aspirations of Glory.
Denouncing the ruling shire council as corrupt, and assuming the name and title General Armagnac (after a particularly rowdy evening drinking with a travelling band of brothermark knights) he led a group of trained bands with similar feelings south.
Having eventually made their way to as far south as they could, eventually arriving in the environs of the southern Dragons Teeth Mountains, edging into the Successor Kingdoms. The crossing of the peaks was perilous, and if not for the help of a enclave of dwarves the column would have surely perished or been waylaid.
Here at the base of the mountains Armagnac would establish his own version of a guardburg with an attached settlement. He named this new settlement Colombard, and with his wit and charisma persuaded his troops and their families to elect him as “High Chancellor” of the newly formed settlement council.
Armagnac, impressed with the gunpowder weaponry of the dwarves who had assisted him in the mountains, resolved to modernize the military forces available to his fledgling settlement.
Soon, a large proportion of the trained bands were equipped with halfling-forged muskets, and trade with surrounding human settlements made further improvements possible.
The trained bands were organized into larger structures, and cavalry formations attached to provide support. Uniform colors were introduced so the army could be better directed in combat. Armagnac even introduced new headgear, intentionally differentiating his forces from other halfling armies.
All of these preparations would be needed, for soon war would come to Colombard.
