when aranel requests for support or soldiers in general for his fort .. the regeants sends criminals. which is a big fuck you from them but when they don't want to send their soldiers they send expendable people that are able to fight to fight a problem they believe doesn't exist so it's like .. ' yer problem now haha. '
what they don't know is that aranel sends the most-probable-ones-to-cause-trouble-and-not-follow-rules-and-never-has-seen-demons-before to the front lines? they die. 99.999% of the time they die. aranel always overseas each battle against them. always. so he knows these are facts. so he works with what he gets and those that survive usually turn a leaf and pledge their services to aranel bc they know, having been locked in their prison, it's better here than there.
not saying it happens all the time i mean. aranel has dealt with dangerous criminals threatening his orders, his fort, his home personally ( with public hangings or public executions ). aranel hsa a tight control over his fort. which holds a whopping 4,000-10,000 population. ( it's a big ass fort. with a small town attached on the safer side of the mountain. )
