Chalantion

The Royal Flotilla relies heavily on carracks and pinnaces, with a heavy emphasis on grappling hooks and boarding tactics using half-armored close quarters infantry tactics. They are famous for their discipline while fighting intoxicated. The full fleet contains 120 vessels. They have a highly formal chain of command and a "bloody code" of draconian punishments for almost any infringement. The officers favor rapiers for dueling and symbols of leadership, while the troops prefer more definitive measures.
