History
Founded as the Callingbers family Guards many years ago. A swift mailed fist of the Empire ready to enforce the Empires doctrines where every they are needed.
Demography and Population
High and Low FLugelburg and the lands within a days ride are seen as coming under the protection of Lord Callingbers Dragoons. those that live within these lands prosper under this protection. hunting is plentiful in the forrests to the south and the hills to the north west are rich in minerals. farms and hamlets dot the valleys and plains.
Territories
Flugelburg and the lands to withing a day or two ride owe fealty to the Dragoons. This comes in the form of ingranied loyalty almost traditional owners of the lands This is displayed by a mutual protection pact. the inhabitants can expect Lord Callingbers Dragoons to give protection and lay their lives on the land for the Hadoveans that help them.
Military
Heavy Mounted Infantry. The Dragoons ride into battle on strong Swift steeds but do not actually engage in Horseback Combat. A preference to be heavily armoured is common but not always a necesity.
Technological Level
The Breeding of horses in and around the Lands inhabitated by Dragoons is paramount. alot of the industry around Dragoons spring from the need to supply a military force. Farriers armoursmiths blacksmiths and weaponsmiths are common. tailors and leatherworkers abound however their wares are more rudimentary than would be seen say within Mirthstone.
Religion
No religions are clerly observed byt Lord Callingbers Heavy DRagoons but neither are they discouraged. Loyalty to the Hadovean EMpire comes first. Everything else is secondary.
Foreign Relations
Fiercly loyal to the Hadovean Empire. As the Contested lands are two days ride to the east and four days to the north many inhabitants of the contested lands are likely to encounter a Dragoon or those loyal to them.
Agriculture & Industry
The breeding of horses for dragoons is a large part of their military might this lends the lands around Flugelburg to be dedicated to horse studs and farm lands. grains and market fare crops (as well as bee hives for honey) are farmed in the fields to the east and west of flugelburg. ores are mined in the hills to the northwest and the forrsts to the south are rich in game and foraging parties are often seen there troufling and mushrooming.
Trade & Transport
GIven that the Dragoons base themselves out of Flugelburg this allows them to position themselves as a waypoint between the heartland of the empire and the contested lands. being situated in a natural pass between the forrsts and mountains to the north and south enables the Dragoons to protect the Hadovean Empires interests flowing to and from the northen parts of the Empire and the COntested lands.
Education
Lord Calingber is a staunch believer of the old addage “The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” Dragoons are educated to an extent that makes them effective defenders of the Hadovean Empire.
Infrastructure
The Dragoons develop the lands in and around Flugelburg to the extent of mutual benifet to Dragoon, Empire citizen and the Emppress herself. well maintained roads within FLugelburg well maintained stone and wood buildings. Solid well manned defenses. Dragoons are a fighting force primarily but when the need arises they will get their hands dirty labouring for the Hadovean Citizens that need them.
