The Ecclesian Army is the military wing of Eccles, and encompasses the standing army, the legendary Ecclesian Cavalry as well as the naval vessels of Eccles. It is separate from the Church Guard which serves a policing function and the Inquisition. It does not directly include the forces of the various Ecclesian noble houses.
Soldiers wear white and grey uniforms with tunics that display the golden keys of Eccles
