Second Šurghan Erinmeš (The Fury of Aim-Arath)

The Second Šurghans, more commonly the Seconds, the Seablue Banners, the Furious Second or the Impostors are the second unit of the Šurghan Host established by emperor Harko I of Hadašham in the 12th year after the Great Voyage. Currently they are commanded by erinmešar Atti Narsilis boasting 3000 pikemen, 2000 cutters, 600 archers, 400 sappers, 1000 knights, 500 light cavalrymen and 500 horse archers. They are organised in the šagdu system since the reforms of 289.

Commanding the Seconds is a great glory considered worthy to any man but the emperor who is a flag officer of the entire army. Given their reputation of relentless, never retreating fighters the erinmešar of the Seconds have by far the best chance to became high commander of the Šurghan Host. The banners of the unit are plain blue, as are the tunics of the single erinmeši contrary to the blood-red of the first and the straw-yellow of the third. Rest of the organised Hadašhim military usually marches and battles in ocher.

The Seablue Banners are consisting a moving army, having their supreme command erstwhile in the capital of Kartam and after it's evacuation in Tir-Našadar. They are rarely found in the city, similar to the third and unlike to the first erinmeš (The Protectors of the Star City) who are tasked with the defense of the Starport and only join the campaigns on royal decree having an appropriate substitute. Giving the base of any field army sent to battle the ranks of the second have unusually higher fluctation but their soldiers are the most battleworthy by far not only among the Hadašhim forces but also under the šurghans.

In the Host the Second Erinmeš is usually degraded and fiercely rivaled by both the first and the third unit, calling each other names and making eventual brawls on various occasions. It is to be noted however but all the šurghans, sharing the same childhood training, strong religiosity, bond of both together spilled blood and commitment to same fate of death in the service, they rarely cross the border of friendly but harsh competition for an all out confrontation.
