Description
Vilmya never liked light batteries.
Accustomed to long sieges of Vorostian city-state fortresses, Vilmya's army has always preferred large, bulky siege guns, along the lines of Eshar.

But by the time Dusan I unified the Vorost nations and assumed the title 'Grand Prince of Vilmiya and Tsar of All Vorost', it was clear that a new type of artillery was needed.

His successors copied Reiten in the use of muzzle-loading letter batteries, but as Haermark still did not develop the theory of concentrated fire.

Artillery is a special body in the Vorostian army. An army that like, but more so, than Haermark is built on aristocratic lines and strict social class divisions. Only the artillery does not follow the classist rules of the other corps. Even a peasant who demonstrates mathematical or observational skills can be promoted. In some cases even to the rank of major. This causes many promising young men to try to join the artillery and for military instructors to openly scout the other divisions and corps.

The picture shows the young artillery captain Pyotar Zhol, exactly one of the young peasants who was discovered and instructed by the Vorost artillery academy.
