	==~~Groups~~==		== Military ==
	~~====~~ White Skull Guard ~~====~~		As of Autumn 826wk, Erewhon’s military baronial force maintains roughly 3,600 permanent or semi-permanent troops, though not all are field soldiers. The core is made up of the Baron’s Household Guard, local garrisons, road wardens, town guards, hill scouts, engineers, couriers, supply troops and specialist troops like the White Skull Guard and the Gnashguards. Most day-to-day order is handled by the Road Wardens, Town Guard, Fortress troops, and Grey Hills Watch. <br/>

			Erewhon can also raise a wider emergency force of perhaps 8,000–10,000 additional people, but this is uneven and seasonal. These include village militias, town watches, merchant guards, foresters, temple wardens, labour corps, wagoners, and locally sworn spears. In an emergency Erewhon may receive limited help from friendly border families, paid guides, or allied companies. In a crisis, Erewhon can defend itself strongly for a short period, but a long campaign would strain farms, roads, trade, harvest work, and the loyalty of outlying districts. Its strength in Autumn 826wk is therefore best described as a disciplined permanent core, a small elite group of guards, and a broad but temporary defensive muster.
