[shadow=teal,left,300]Hans Vermeer's Army[/shadow]
Bowcats
Bowcats are feral cats from a area near the Middle Kingdoms and Eastern Jungles, with mongol bows and scarred cheeks. They are the main force of Hans Vermeer's Army and also have the biggest ranking and widest range of uniforms and metals of the Blood Oath Alliance. Bowcats are the best archers in Mossflower Woods. With they're thumb rings and mongol bows. They have the strongest and longest reach of any archer. Bowcats have great eye sight and hearing and are very silent beasts. Which allows them to be perfect for a many number of objectives and roles. Bowcats are also good close range fighters with they're swords, claws and teeth.
Wild Cat Shock Troops
A newly installed force. These are now the Shock Troops of Hans Vermeer's forces. Using bigger bows than the feral Bowcats and bigger swords and axes, they can easily strike fear in the hearts of the enemy and destroy they're moral. They wear myrtle shirts, chainmail shirts over them and half plate armour over that. They also wear vambraces made from white gold with a single amethyst, single emerald, a single sapphire, and a single ruby. Showing they have no true place in feral Bowcat rankings and therefore. Mostly act on they're own accord, making them unpredictable and dangerous to the enemy.
Hans Vermeer's Royal Guard
All of them monitors. The Royal Guard protect Hans Vermeer and Julia Vermeer to the very last lizard. Wearing thicker myrtle shirts with half plate armour that they only take off during the cold and the Winter and using large maces and battle axes as they're weapons. These monitors make it clear that they do not go down easily. They don't often go out on the battlefield unless Hans or Julia are there and mostly stay inside the castle. Where they also act as guards. These monitors don't wear any vambraces because they are not anywhere in the Bowcat forces and have no purpose in it. Being only bodyguards and castle guards.
Seyda Blacktalon's Aerial Support
Hans Vermeer's eyes in the sky. These Falcons swoop down, snatch and kill any enemy beast at the sound of a whistle. Being falcons. They don't serve well as spies like sea gulls or crows can, but they do make very effective aerial attackers, messengers and scouts and can make a enemy commander's life a living hell. Both at land, sea or air. They don't wear clothing and therefore have myrtle dyes painted on they're wing tips and the back of they're neck feathers instead.

General
There are only two Generals. Both identical twin brothers and in they're 30's. They are the most experienced, gifted and talented bowcats alive in Han's Vermeer's Bowcat Army. When they are forced to lead against a massive army or to deal with a possible losing cause. They will use every trick, scheme, strategy, idea, plan and interrogation method in the books to turn the tide to they're favor and turn a suicide war... Into a winnable war. They have golden vambraces with three emeralds in them.
They can wear black gambesons, spaulders, gorgets, (for maximum protection possible) frock coats and both wield lethal sabres.
Colonel

Her family met the arctic fox and automatically became close allies. Helping fortify Marlfox castle with decent number of they're rat soldiers.
