Oathmarshall Jib

Oathmarshall Jib is the head of The Pale's military. He is a veteran of both Sand Wars. He has also proven to be a competent statesman and is a valued member of The Pale's government.

Military Experience
Before being sworn in as Oathmarshall, Jib had no previous military experience. He demonstrated his martial prowess during a national tournament, where he performed incredibly well in team fights, and bested all other fighters (including the king) in the round robin finale. His first taste of battle came during the Battle of Oblitus Oris during the First Sand War. His forces were overwhelmed by the Zamotz Union without inflicting many casulties. Jib attributes this humiliating loss to insufficient defensive works and a general lack of preparation, in tandem with the incredible skill of the Zamotz Union's military. He would be redeemed in the Second Sand War by forming the Onthukhan Defense Force (ODF), where he coordinated the militaries of over 10 nations to defeat the Red Diamond League. His decisive planning before the battle allowed the coalition to persevere against the odds, and his unit offered invaluable and necessary support to Alpha Team despite not seeing combat.

Eldham Central Market
Jib cofounded the Eldham Central Market (ECM) alongside his freind Jamesh Bond. Jamesh constructed the market, and Jib created an administrative framework (discord server) for the server to operate in. Following Jamesh's retirement, Jib would neglect the ECM to fall into a dormant state. He would later pass the ECM onto Councilor Cyrillus for a total rework.

The Onthukhan Pact
After the events leading up to the Second Sand War and inspired by the formation of the Onthukhan Defense Force, many leaders on the continent of Onthukhan had an idea for a sort of mutual-defense pact between all nations on the continent. Jib struck first, drafting a treaty that was signed by all Onthukhan nations with minimal edits. The treaty was designed to restrict member states as little as possible, and amendments to the treaty must be approved unanimously by all member states. With the collapse of the Eldham Entente, the Onthukhan Pact represented the strongest military agreement in Eldham. The only sole military power that could reasonably defeat it at the time of signing was the Uraki Empire. Most member states enjoy cordial or good relations with Uraka, and war seems unlikely.
