They always seemed to know where we were going, and were often waiting for us when we got there. Scores of people died, and sadly, many more were injured and had to be left behind.

	The '''Royal Erathian Millitary Command''' was the highest Royal Elite Erathian Special Forces Unit-Army, that served under the leaderships of [[King Nicolas Gryphonheart]] and [[General Kendal\|General Morgan Kendal]], who was also its leader. The term REMC was used to refer to all echelons of the military of the [[Erathia\|Kingdom of Erathia]] in [[Antagarich]]. It was headquartered at Castle Gryphonheart in [[Steadwick]]. By writ of law, it would assume provisional control of the kingdom in the event of a regicide without a suitable heir.

By writ of law, it would assume provisional control of the kingdom in the event of a regicide without a suitable heir.

	The Command's upper tier was composed of a small union of the Kingdom of Erathia's greatest generals and [[hero]]es, active during and before the [[Restoration Wars]]. Its leader at this time was General [[Morgan Kendal]]. Though composed primarily of Erathians, it also recruited skilled foreign military experts from [[Enroth (nation)\|Enroth]], [[AvLee]] and [[Bracada]].

	The only known point at which the Command ever assumed control of Erathia was directly after the death of [[King Nicolas Gryphonheart]] in 1164 [[AS]]. Eventually, it was discovered that one of its own members, [[Lord Haart]], had been responsible for the King's murder.
