I was first taught by the Imperial Guard back before I got the implant.

They may not be of True Amarr blood, but they are by far the greatest example of combining swift and precise combat excellence with the grace and justice of spirituality of the faith. They planted the seed which stemmed into most of my combat style.

Perhaps we should consider formatting a contest of sorts amongst the Classiarii.

There rarely, beyond Faith, is a better motivator than competition.

Faith is the only motivator needed, but a little friendly competition never hurt anything. Perhaps a medal for the most kills each month? Much like the Admiral's Prize is to the capsuleers of PIE.

No better way to see which Heir Family produces superior solders than gauge their efficiency in the field.

As an instructor at a prominent Khanid military academy I taught tactics for several years before volunteering to have (second generation, of course) implants placed to return to the battefield myself. I have modified the classic Amarr battle tactics I once taught to account for both the new implants and uplink technology and have promulgated them through my old professional network so that they may be studied and disseminated through the other royal academies as the individual commandants see fit.

See you in Destiny Amarr victor

Therein lies an issue I have struggled with for a long time. By tradition and Blood the Ouryon Family is of Old Udorian stock, or so I am sure my grandfather, and his father before him through the ages to Kaniya and the Second Founding of the house, and further back to Ouraya and Arnab the earliest Ouryon's. Though my Father would tell me that Udorian blood was impure. Kador my friend, in this instance your division is surely deeper and more complex than mine. Petty squabbles and political intrigue between noble families has nothing on conflicts of identity! I have no doubts as to whom my grandfather would want my allegiance to be given... If we were back on speaking terms, that is. His distaste for my status as a clone is not something I have yet been able to overcome. Hm. Perhaps our situations are not so different after all.
