Captain Johan in a recent recruitment drive, to which he asked Officer Danerk to make his personal priority posts up the new Defender Recruitment poster about the city.
Captain Johan says he shall be rewarding each contributor personally for their efforts.
The poster soon attracts young folk around the city, with some of the respected families of the city appearing with their youths to serve the city.
Also, the stonemasons guild and one of the sons of Heffa a dwarven shopkeep were seen in uniform soon after, she being heard to say how much she loves the dwarven figure on the poster, and that it reminds her of her ex husband.
Her seven sons are soon seen heading to and from the defender headquarters with the sound of steel ringing from the training grounds.
Experienced dwarven warriors in the defenders are rumoured to be competing for the chance to lead an all dwarven squad.
In a tenday of rememberance, Peltarch Defenders mixed with visitors, families and those who fought in Peltarch's Battles. All remembered the sacrifices of the Peltarch Civil war and the successful campaign against the easltanders. Soon after a brief service for veterans of the defenders was held at the monument, and a vigil is being held there to mark the duration of the recent conflict.
Those who come in respect, who served in the battle are invited to pay their respects to the fallen, a tempus priestess of the Defenders will be in attendance for the duration.
