Military-

The Army of Light is a legendary military force established shortly before the Yellow Turban Rebellion by the legendary Han General Hua Gui to combat the machinations of the Yellow Turbans and eventually Dong Zhuo's forces.Made up of originally the army Hua Gui commanded and the masses of peasants and soldiers who flocked to Wei Ming's ideals as well
as those tired of the Han's ineffectual leadership, the Army of Light would fight a hard-won victory during the Yellow Turban and Anti-collision Dong Zhuo campaigns. Following the defeat of the Yellow Turbans and the Dong Zhuo, the Army of Light became a more professional and well trained military force(excluding Hua Gui's army).

Ranks

Grand General of the State/Blessed Great Lord of the Army of Light: The Great Blessed Lord later renamed Grand General of the state following the destruction of Dong Zhuo and the army becoming a professional military force of Chu, is the highest military rank within the kingdom of Chu. The Grand General of the State is in charge of the entire military and it's organization and logistics so the Ruler may focus on domestic and other non military fairs although they still may do what they wish with the military as they see fit. To become  Grand General of the state, one had to be pure of heart and deemed worthy as well as be blessed by Wei Ming and the heavens to be given such a rank, not an easy feat.

Blessed Dragon General - an honorary tittle then anything else, Was given to the person who would become the  next Grand General of the state which demanded respect from all those. To become the Blessed Dragon General, one had to be pure of heart and deemed worthy as well as be blessed by Wei Ming and the heavens to be given such a rank. The Rank was in stated by Wa Hachiman in respect to Wa Vaisravana who was the original wielder of the tittle. The Blessed Dragon General holds the same military power as the Zhayu Generals, not an easy feat.

Blessed Zhayu General/ Blessed Great Lord - Were the highest ranking Generals of the Army of Light and most trusted officers of the Army of Light.

Armory
(ARMOR DOESN'T APPEAR UNTIL AFTER the Yellow turban Rebellion)

Following the destruction of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the lands stabilized somewhat, Wa Hachiman commissioned new set styles of armor used by the Army of Light to further show themselves dedicated to the light which resulted in highly decorative armour.



The Curvis helmet was a steel semi-enclosed helmet that could protect against arrows and sword slashes with it's only true weakness the front opening.


The Curvis Armor was the standard armor worn by Spear and sword infantry and consisted of leather cloth or leather armor with a Steel breastplate covering the chest and back as well as guards to cover the shoulder and arms.





Blessed Zhayu Armor was fine crafted blessed armour offering the best armored protection within Chu created for only the Blessed Zhayu Generals or Wei Ming's personal Champions.
