Creation Et All/The Thousand Correct Actions of the Upright Soldier

From BluWiki

Even with all the weapons and tools from the First Age, one of the best tools that established the military might of the Realm is the famous book The Thousand Correct Actions of the Upright Soldier. It is attributed to one of two of the Immaculate Dragons: Hesiesh, the Immaculate Dragon of Fire, or to Mela, the Immaculate Dragon of Air.

The book details a thousand ways for a commander to husband the strength of his troops and make use of their discipline adn ability to maximize results on the battlefield. All aspects of military life, from espionage and small-unit tactics to individual training exercises and encampment procedures, are detailed within the book.

Traditionally, senior officers would carry the complete manual while the junior ranks carried heavily abridged versions. If correctly copied, the book contains a number of encoded Charms and sorceries specifically of use to military officers and their armies. Since the disappearance of the Empress, the book has fallen into disfavor in the Realm, much to the chagrin of older outcastes and even [{Creation Et All/Scarlet Dynasty|Dynast]] officers.

A similar manual for the use of ship captains and admirals also exists.
