History

Establishment

The Hjalsk Army was established on 29 August 2020, as part of the Hjalsk Armed Forces contract, by Jarl Juvan I. The army had very little funding, but was eventually built up by citizens of Hjalvik deciding to enrol upon their own behalf. The Hjalsk Army’s official flag was adopted on 3 October 2020.

Short Rebellion

On 2 November 2020, a rebellion broke out during an armed forces drill. After multiple ranks refusing to listen to Jarl Juvan I and the Royal Admiral Jakub Topheim, Drill Commander Hourston decided to take the side of the recruits, resulting in a minor uprising against the Jarldom. After a short while, the rebellion has accomplished nothing over Hjalvik, and decided to back down and apologise to the Jarl. Herra Tek received a Hjalsk Medal of Bravery for putting himself between the Jarl and the rebels, in defence of the monarchy.

Ranks

The Hjalsk Army has 8 official ranks, and 1 honorary rank which can only be granted personally by the Jarl of Hjalvik. Army reserves are also under the control of the army while they are in training.
