Nordhær

The Nordhær is the locally given name for what is officially named as the Garrison of the Elwynnese Volunteer Armed Forces in Normark (GEVAFN), an entity established in 1703 AN following the disbandment of the Union Defence Force in 1702 AN. Because of the constitutionally anomalous condition of Normark, outside the bounds of the Benacian Union but still subject to a member state, Elwynn in this instance, the conscripts of the UDF were not re-enlisted into the Benacian Union Defence Force but were rather notified at their last pay parade of 1702 AN that the choice before them was to either accept a transfer to a garrison on Leng or else to volunteer for a five year term of engagement with the GEVAFN. In view of the offered alternative, the rate of voluntary enlistments was reported as being "satisfactory".
