Koguryo Army

Our Birth

In ancient Korea once stood a great kingdom, The Kingdom of Koguryo. The past to you but in the Nexus these are our beginnings...

Guided by the rule of His Majesty King Yuri, and His Royal Highness Prince Mhul, The Kingdom of Koguryo became the first kingdom in all of the land; And its oldest city, the city of Kugnae started to flourish. The rapid growth and development of Kugnae, led way to become its primary and capital city.

The growth of the city was no surprise, since its town center, shops, and inns had become a mass gathering for the city’s citizens and travelers abroad. This created a new problem, with the rise in population there is an increase in crime and threats against the livelihood of the Kogurian people. Thus the Koguryo Royal Guard was formed under the guidance of Prince Mhul. The Royal Guard struggled but held on, until a promising brave Royal Guard by the name of Rowann was appointed to become the General of the kingdoms first and only true royal armed forces. After time the Royal Guard’s importance and use faded away, and the Army held strong under the guidance of General Rowann. The army became Koguryo’s primary line of defense for protecting the kingdoms, allies, citizens, clans, and its royal family.

By the end of his Majesties Golden Jubilee, The Kingdom of Koguryo had come to enjoy a fruitful economy, and growing populations. The expansion of the kingdom led to the creation of three new civilian settlements on the outskirts of Kugnae. The new settlements became Kangnung, Masan, and Onyang. With the overall growth of Koguryo and other neighboring kingdoms the importance for an army was certainly there. In present day the army enjoys a growing relationship under King Mhul of Koguryo with the Empire of Buya, and Her Royal Highness Princess Lasahn, as well as the Kingdom of Nagnang, and His Royal Highness Prince ChaeRi.

Historical Information

The armies of the Kingdoms were finally granted the ability to pay tribute in October 2005 from pressure from General Nykid of the KRA, General AceoStar of the BIA and General Gromph of the LoN.

The Koguryo Royal Army boasts its advancements since tribute, having 2 new merchants, (Sell Exp, Minor Quest, Read Karma, Guest Summon, Travel to Buya, Travel to Kugnae), as well as its very own crafting hall and sanctuary.

The Koguryo Royal Army was once divided into three Battalions, Akatsuki (Recon, Strategy & Intelligence), Toshyo (Front Line Soldiers), and Fuma (Light Armored Soldiers) during General Nykid's reign and the first part of General Hatiki's reign, when it was finally decided by the officers and General Hatiki of the Koguryo Royal Army, that the army would strive to be united rather than seperated, thus Battalions were retired, but the teachings of Akatsuki, Toshyo and Fuma still live on.

The Koguryo Royal Army was present at the rescuing of Princess Yun. Her memory lost, she was found by a Buyan Army soldier, and escorted back to Kugnae after found wandering in Sanhae by Colonel Elarra, Lt. Colonel Sonknuck, and Lt. Colonel sayianwar. Her memory was lost, but she had been looked after by Goeyu. After the kingdoms worked to restore her memory, she and King Mhul wed in Hyul 62, making her the official Queen of Koguryo.

Rowann's History

General Rowann - Yuri 23 - Yuri 65 & Yuri 68 - Yuri 73

Her name echos through the winds as a legend. She is known for not only her selfless dedication and loyalty to Koguryo, but for her strength, determination and leadership of Koguryo's armed forces. Such a heroic figure can only be none other than Former Diviner Guide and General, Rowann.

Rowann was of pure Koguryan blood, raised in the early years of His Majesty King Yuri's reign. Little is known about her true age or family, or exactly how she grew up as a young girl in a prospering city. The Rowann known to the world will forever be a soldier. A soldier with ambition and passion for her King and country.

Her life as a soldier began as part of a Royal Guard, designed to protect King Yuri's son and Regent of Koguryo, Prince Mhul. The Royal Guard faltered at first, until a brave young woman caught the attention of the Prince. That young woman was none other Rowann, who became General of the first and only, true royal armed forces. The army became Koguryo's primary line of defense for protecting the kingdoms, allies, citizens, clans, and its royal family.

The KRA's early beginnings could not have been held together without General Rowann. The gods refused to provide any assistance, yet General Rowann never faltered. Her love for Koguryo and her determination pushed the gods to their limits. The gods finally began to recognize the Royal Army as an official organization, and granted the army its first Army Barracks.

Though the army may have its first barracks, it was nothing but a storeroom. General Rowann was insulted and continue to pressure the gods for equality between clans and armies. General Rowann expanded our barracks, as well as convinced the gods to provide soldiers with helms. It was another victory for Rowann in her battle against the gods.

But General Rowann's legacy is not only about her improvements to the army. Her bravery and leadership has lead the army through countless battles, horrific wars, and internal strife. Since before the Shattering, Rowann has fought and defended Koguryo from all invaders. From the terrifying battles against Orb, to the destructive Wind God Wars, and even through the countless struggles between the kingdoms and Barbarians, Rowann has risen to every occasion to lead the Royal Army to victory. Her faith, strength, and loyalty never faltered, in over 50 Yuris of service.

Rowann's Generalship is a legacy. Since before the Great Shift she has commanded countless troops to victory and battled through thick and thin against enemies of Koguryo . Her name will echo throughout the winds for an eternity as a legend.
