Vadalian Royal Navy
From Storing Don
The Vadalian Royal Navy is the Vadalian Royal Guard's counterpart at sea. They are by far the most skilled sailors the continent over, although they make passable land-soldiers. They are excellent marines, and almost every amphibious assault begins with an attack by the Vadalian Royal Navy. They operate as the standing naval force of Vadal

The Royal Navy is outfitted with 30 galleon level ships, which are, of course, faster and hardier than other galleons, given superior Vadalian crews and construction.
[edit] Royal Navy Tactics
Typical of Vadalian ships, the ships employed by the Royal Navy are fast and small, but their superior construction and runestone augmented frames make them more than durable enough. The Vadalian Royal Navy is much more melee inclined than the Royal Guard, with the spellcasters of the navy focusing on defensive spells or spells that incapacitate enemy ships, allowing the faster Vadalian ships to board and use their superior skill. They make up the main battle force of the Vadalian navy, as the raiders use their faster ships to harass and flank the enemy forces.
[edit] Ranks in the Royal Navy
A Marine is the basic rank in the Royal Navy, and Marines are expected to act both as sailors and boarding warriors when the time comes, and there are approximately one hundred crewmen/marines on each vessel. Each ship has a Hertik, who is the first mate of the vessel. Hertiks wear silver swords as their badge of office. Each ship is run by a Freiher, who bears the golden sword. Ten ships are under the command of a Hauld, who, like the Royal Guard Hauld, wears a silver dragon. There are six Admirals of the Royal Navy, each of whom has five Haulds reporting to them. Admirals wear orange cloaks and bear the golden dragon brooch. Like their land-based counterparts, the Admirals are equal to a Jarl in feudal rank.
