	They are not yours the way you are probably thinking.

What you have is a lance lent to a Hammer, held on the Order's discipline, for as long as you use them sensibly. ~~That is~~ not ~~just~~ wording. It means if something goes wrong with them it ~~comes back to me~~, and I would rather hear about it from you ~~first~~.		They are not yours the way you are probably thinking.

What you have is a lance lent to a Hammer, held on the Order's discipline, for as long as you use them sensibly. I am not being pedantic about the wording.

	A Hammer goes where we cannot send a company, kills what we cannot kill by committee, and moves on. ~~That is the whole of the rank and you~~ have earned it. The difficulty with it — and I have watched a dozen good ones walk straight into this — is that a place you have cleared does not stay cleared. You take it, you leave because you are needed somewhere else, and in two months it is exactly as it was and you have to do the whole thing again. Your company in particular has a habit of paying for ground and then walking off it. The lance is the answer. They stay, so that you can go.

	You will look at these four and wonder why I did not send better swords. There are better swords in the Order. I did not send them because in my experience the best fighters we have are also the ones most likely to leave a post because something more interesting is happening two fields over. These four will not. Kell has held gates for twenty years and finds it satisfying, which I do not entirely understand but have stopped arguing with. Storr moves to the front without being asked and never mentions it afterward. Ackley guarded caravans for twenty years before he swore and knows every way a road can go wrong.

	~~The Anvil numbers a complement equal to~~ Xanphina~~'s '''proficiency bonus''', under a knight-sergeant who does not count against it. They can be given three kinds of standing order.~~

	~~=== Hold ===~~		Hammer of Light. Good. It took them long enough, and I said so, loudly, to people who did not enjoy hearing it.
	~~Set the lance on a place~~ and ~~it stays held. A cleared ruin stays cleared~~, ~~a road stays open~~, ~~a gate stays shut~~ to ~~the wrong~~ people~~.

You are trusted to go where we cannot send a company, kill what we cannot kill by committee, and be gone before anyone organises a response. You do not garrison. You do not hold. That is not a slight — it is the entire reason we made you what you are.

	== ~~How they are moved~~ ==		But a thing you have hit does not stay hit, and I have watched too many good Hammers spend a year taking the same road back off the same enemy because there was nobody behind them. So the Order is lending you an anvil.
	* A posted member '''~~holds~~ where ~~they stand~~'''. ~~They do~~ not ~~wander~~.
	* Moving them ~~takes~~ '''~~hours~~''' ~~within~~ a ~~settlement~~, '''~~three to five days~~''' ~~within~~ a ~~region~~, and '''~~ten~~ days or more''' ~~across the Sword Coast.~~ On the road they hold nothing.		'''Understand that word. Lending.''' You do not command troops. That comes at Knight Commander and not before, and you will find it is more work than glory. What you have is a lance placed at your disposal, on the Order's discipline and the Order's oath, for as long as you use them properly.
	* They '''do not ~~adventure~~'''~~. A~~ lance ~~holds ground; it does~~ not ~~go down holes after treasure~~. ~~[[Deez Nuts]] were granted [[Nuts Deep]] on exactly that understanding — Marshal [[Ulder~~ Ravengard~~]]'s judgement was~~ that ~~the~~ company is ~~most useful as~~ a ~~mobile~~ strike force~~, and the Anvil~~ is what ~~lets them be one~~.
	* '''They can be lost.''' They are four sworn ~~soldiers~~ and a sergeant~~, not an army~~. ~~Sent~~ somewhere they cannot hold, they will try anyway, and ~~Xanphina~~ will be short a name at the next muster.		=== Who I sent you, and why ===
			Four sworn, under Knight-Sergeant Bertrand Kell. Kell answers to me and stands apart from the four; he is the reason the lance functions and you will find him difficult to argue with, which is the point.

			I did not send you the best swords in the Order. I want you to hear that plainly, because you will look at them and wonder. '''I sent you the ones who will still be standing where you left them.'''

			There is a kind of soldier who wants a song written about him, and that soldier leaves his post to go and earn one. These four have no interest in songs. Kell has held gates for twenty years and finds it satisfying. Storr moves to the front without being asked and has never once told anyone about it afterward. Ackley knows every way a road goes wrong because he spent two decades on roads that went wrong. Sunwell prays over the wounded and the dead in the same flat voice, which unnerves people until the night they need her.

			Steadiness is the rarest thing in the Order and I have spent it on you. Do not waste it.

			=== What you may ask of them ===
			Three things, and I would prefer you kept to them.

			'''Hold.''' Set the lance on a place and it stays held. A ruin you cleared stays cleared. A road stays open. A gate stays shut to the wrong people. Your company has a bad habit of paying in blood for ground and then walking away from it — this is the cure for that, and it is the reason I fought for you to have them.

			'''Escort.''' Prisoners, wounded, supplies, people who cannot move themselves. What the Anvil escorts arrives. You will find this frees you from a great deal of work you are overqualified for.

			'''Lend.''' Send them, or some of them, to an ally who needs holding up. The Order counts that as your company's work and so does everyone watching, and you will feel it in how the coalition speaks to you.

			=== On moving them ===
			A posted soldier holds where they stand. They do not wander and they do not improvise.

			Moving them costs time and you should treat that as the real price. '''Hours to cross a city. Three to five days to cross a region. Ten days or more to cross the coast.''' On the road they hold nothing, guard nothing, and are worth nothing to you — so decide where they should be and then leave them there.

			'''They do not go down holes with you.''' They are a lance, not an adventuring company, and if you take them into the sort of place you spend your time in, they will follow you and they will die there. Ravengard had the right of it when he handed you that fort: your company is a strike force. Let it be one. This is what makes that possible.

			=== The part I would rather not write ===
			Four sworn and a sergeant. That is all they are.

			Send them somewhere they cannot hold and they will try anyway. That is what the oath means and it is not negotiable, not by them and not by you. They will stand until they are relieved or until there is nobody left standing, and if you have misjudged the ground, that is not their failure.

			You will be short a name at the next muster, and I will have to find someone to replace them, and the Order will ask what happened. Send word before it comes to that. I would rather move them early than bury them on time.

			Giddy up, I am told.

Wvaske: Create The Anvil — Xanphina's Order of the Gauntlet lance

2026-08-28T21:17:03Z

Create The Anvil — Xanphina's Order of the Gauntlet lance

New page

'''The Anvil''' is a lance of the [[Order of the Gauntlet]] assigned to [[Xanphina]] on her elevation to '''Hammer of Light''', the third rank of the Order.

The Order names its ranks for the forge and means it. A Hammer strikes and moves on; something has to stay behind and take the weight. The lance took the obvious name and has never felt the need to explain it.

They are sworn, disciplined, and deliberately outmatched by the woman who commands them. They do not exist to fight her battles. They exist so that she can '''leave'''.

== What they do ==
The Anvil numbers a complement equal to Xanphina's '''proficiency bonus''', under a knight-sergeant who does not count against it. They can be given three kinds of standing order.

=== Hold ===
Set the lance on a place and it stays held. A cleared ruin stays cleared, a road stays open, a gate stays shut to the wrong people. This is the whole point of them: the company has repeatedly had to walk away from ground it paid for, and the Anvil is how that ground stops being lost the moment their backs are turned.

=== Escort ===
Move prisoners, casualties, supplies, or people who cannot move themselves. What the Anvil escorts arrives.

=== Lend ===
Detach the lance, or part of it, to an ally who needs it. The Order counts this as the company's work, and it is felt in the standing [[Deez Nuts]] holds with the coalition.

== How they are moved ==
* A posted member '''holds where they stand'''. They do not wander.
* Moving them takes '''hours''' within a settlement, '''three to five days''' within a region, and '''ten days or more''' across the Sword Coast. On the road they hold nothing.
* They '''do not adventure'''. A lance holds ground; it does not go down holes after treasure. [[Deez Nuts]] were granted [[Nuts Deep]] on exactly that understanding — Marshal [[Ulder Ravengard]]'s judgement was that the company is most useful as a mobile strike force, and the Anvil is what lets them be one.
* '''They can be lost.''' They are four sworn soldiers and a sergeant, not an army. Sent somewhere they cannot hold, they will try anyway, and Xanphina will be short a name at the next muster.

== The lance ==
'''Knight-Sergeant Bertrand Kell''' — the anchor, and does not count against the complement. A career man of the Order, unhurried, entirely without imagination, and correct with a frequency that irritates people who have more. He addresses Xanphina as "Hammer" and has never once been talked out of an order.
