Changes
The history of the Maze Military is intricately tied to that of the Mazes in general, having existed since the beginning of [[History of the Mazes|Era 5]].
The predecessor to the modern Military was the '''Eidolon Silver Force''' or '''ESF''', founded in E5-122 shortly after [[Neo Khazrun]] was settled from the ruins of the medieval town of [[Khazrun]]. Originally, the ESF was Neo Khazrun's Town Security force. However, inspired by the many documents and books within the ancient medieval library, settler, and first Neo Khazrun mayor '''William Eidolon''' wished for more, viewing his town, his people, and his forces as destined for a greater status. Over the years that followed, the Eidolon Silver Force grew out of its original role of local law enforcement, becoming a separate entity and the first, fully-fledged military unit of the Mazes since the downfall of the Silverlight Kingdom.
By E5-146, the Eidolon Silver Force had reached 400 personnel (roughly two companies), far more than was needed to protect a single town. Eidolon appointed himself as the Major and leader of this force and announced his intentions to create a modern incarnation of the Silverlight Kingdom, with Neo Khazrun as its capital, and one day, himself as the King. He viewed the youkai as an obstacle to his conquests and believed that the best way of asserting his authority and his legitimacy to the world was to destroy them and conquer their towns.
