	The majority of Syradonia is built around a central cavern so a large amount of the military is dedicated to defense. The High Bulwak is a gigantic gateway that leads into the earth, with several layers of stone walls inlaid with metal and defensive magic, with many battlements and fortresses designed to allow Syradonia to control any battle against invasion. In the worst case of a full blown attack this will delay any force attacking them, though until now the Order or War has been able to resist any force attacking this close to home.

	The practice of bulwarks is used frequently underground, though on a smaller scale, as caverns are excavated and new sections of the city are created. They will often deploy a smaller bulwark as the first thing when excavating a new space to give somewhere safe and sturdy to fall back to in case of cave-ins, attacks or other disturbances. These bulwarks sometimes become checkpoints between various parts of the city when needed although there is no major bureaucracy for them.<br />

	The Order of War primarily deploys the Apostles, some clad in blackened heavy armour and wicked blunt and gemstone weapons.

When they do venture to the surface they are noted as being more than happy to test their skills at recreating, adapting and creating their tactics on a variety of strange places and keen to see how they can use new tools to their advantage.
