The Black Storm is the militaristic organization of Slendor whose goal is to bring about world order by total conquest. The leaders of the Black Storm, the Five Fingers of Death (as they're called by their enemies) have handed down a strict dogma and law for members and citizens to follow. The Black Storm is efficient, well-trained, and very successful.

History
The Black Storm has only been in operation for roughly thirty years. They started as a political movement in the republic government of the nation of Slendor. In CY1459, Radomer Galoden, a military strategist and warrior, came to power in the Slendorian Senate when he organized a paramilitary to combat precursors to civil war. His successful prevention of internal war and subsequent battles to combat raiding barbarians from the neighboring lands brought he and his four consorts to authoritarian power.
In the time since the establishment of the new rule, the Black Storm absorbed the standing military of Slendor and has begun a territorial expansion of the nation. They have successfully established sovereignty over the wild lands of Daricia which sit over the Dwarven halls of Disdarban.
Income
The Black Storm acquires income through the nation of Slendor itself and from the lands it has conquered. The army uses these funds to supply equipment, pay officer salary, pay for training, and research new powers.
New Members
Able fighters in Slendor are welcomed into the Black Storm and trained. This includes many men over the age of 16. It has been such that those in lands conquered by the Black Storm have been assimilated and trained. None outside the nation of Slendor yearn to seek out membership in the army, but many in the nation do.
Rules
The Black Storm is the national military of Slendor, and so, normal military rules are expected: following orders, maintaining a certain level of fitness, and the like. Not following orders is an offense punishable by court martial or in some cases death. On top of this, the Five Fingers of Death have imposed a strict law for both the army and the citizens of Slendor to obey.
