The Duryad Imperial Royal Navy
"Detect, Deflect, Destroy!"
The Duryad Imperial Navy is by far the largest branch of The Duryad Imperial Sultanate's military. with cavalry and artillery vying for 2nd place. While navies have existed throughout the Qyzharate's history, the current navy was established by Hasdrubal II. Beginning in 252 AC, it rose to prominence as the strongest navy in the world.
Malarian wrote in the sixth book of his History that the Duryadi were, "more exercised in maritime affairs than any other people".
Their garrison is at Z'ar Rilark, a town north-east of Ternosear. Ships built at the Ternosear Dockyards must be sailed there to complete their outfitting. Most of the ships laid in ordinary are also kept there. The navy is also headquartered at the Admiralty Building in Ternosear, and the admirals' flagships are anchored just offshore from the city.
The Navy is led by the position of the Kabudyan Zhervizar (Fleet Admiral; literally Grand Sea Lord").
With oars and sails; Dread and Blood
The governing force of the Iron Coast and the greatest navy of Extria.
Structure
The Durish Imperial Royal Navy is divided into four fleets each led by an Admiral (reis pasha), Vice-Admiral, and Rear-Admiral. The home fleet admiral is in charge of the navy as a whole. Each ship is commanded by a captain followed by lieutenants , and a sailing master. Midshipmen are recruited by individual captains. Captains can be raised to commodore as needed to command squadrons.
On shore, a variety of offices manage the provisions and needs of the ships. The Armaments Office is in charge of weaponry, the Victualling Office manages supplies, food, and drink, the Chirgury Office runs the naval hospitals and verifies the appointments of surgeons, the Shipbuilding Office is in charge of building and ordering new ships, and the Navy Office oversees the other offices, manages the navy's finances, commissions officers, verifies warrants, and appoints representatives to Parliament.
Culture
Much of the culture of the The Durish Imperial Royal Navy is shared with sailors, be they friend or foe , civillian or military.
Superstition
Like most sailors, many of the Durish Imperial Royal Navy , just like the forebears are concerned with curses, omens, and other matters of luck. Many are highly religious and are active followers of Bahamut.Ships Badges
The Durish Imperial Royal Navy assigns badges to every ship, submarine, squadron and shore establishment. Currently, ships are identified by their figurehead, which is carved prior to the ship's maiden voyage. Many of these figureheads have artistic depictions that are represented either in small uniform patches or insignias decorating standard issue materials.Toasts
The Toasts of the Imperial Royal Navy are a set of traditional drinking toasts. Day|Toast|Alternates Codoras|"Absent friends"|"Absent friends and those at sea" Peloras|"Our ships at sea"|"Our native land. Queen and country" Avandras|"Our sailors and shipmates"|"Our mothers, fathers and venerable Elders." Xymoras|"Ourselves"(usually with the informal reply "for nobody else, but the gods will concern themselves with our well-being!")|"Ourselves. Our Blades. Old Ships" Soldras|"A bloody war or a sickly season"|(no alternative) Erathas|"A willing foe and sea-room"|"Skimracing, Hunting and old port." Corellas|"Our wives and sweethearts," usually with the reply "May they never meet!"|(no alternative) Moradás|"Ships at sea"| "Ships of old and those lost at sea" Cuerdas|"Clan and Kin"|"Honourable service and Glorius Duty" Múdras|"The Qyzhar/Qyzharah"|"Our native land." Health and wealth" Soldras's toast is clearly a reference to promotion, only then to be obtained in dead men's shoes.Public Agenda
The Duryad Imperial Royal Navy's objectives are multi-faceted, but generally the supreme goal is to secure naval dominance across the nine seas. The seizure of illicit mercantile vessels, foreign land, and capture rival fleets in the name of Kapralah Haleema Asherah Duryad are means by which this is carried out.
Maintain coastal borders
Protect trade ships
Be ready to fight and defend Duryad's national interests by sea
Assets
Currently, the navy consists of 86 vessels whose crew is 40,600 men, roughly two-thirds (30,000) are oarsmen and sailors, and the remainder (10,600) fighters.
The backbone of the navy's manpower is a core of professional rowers drawn from the lower classes of Duryadi society. This give the Duryadi fleets an advantage in training over the less professional fleets of its rivals.
