A '''vadiyon''' (from [[Vespian language|Vespian]] ''vâdīyon'', literally meaning "war body", or "the body that makes war"), is a Vespian military formation within the [[Zhautakar]] roughly analogous to a {{wpl|Division (military)|division}} in modern armies. Consisting of about 15,000 military personnel, the vadiyon is the modern-day iteration of the ancient vadiyons which served as the permanent military formations of ancient and imperial Vespia. Most of the existing vadiyons currently in service were established more than four thousand years ago at the time of the Zhautakar's original formation, and have been in an active service since with an unbroken period of combat operation. Traditionally, vadiyon were divided into five 1,000-man units known as [[Uvokin|uvokin]], the first of which was commanded by the leading senior officer of the formation, the TBD.

===Description===

Within Vespian military doctrine, the construction of a ''kar'' to protect Vespian ''vakoranin'' during the from enemy forces was mandatory practice for their ''vadiyon''. All of their food, weapons, equipment, and pack animals would be secured within the ''kar'', so as to prevent the army on during resting periods from having to remain exposed to the elements and hostile forces in the region. Regulations within the warrior caste and imperial law itself, required that the armies of Vespia, whether marching or maintaining a stationary location, construct a ''kar'' each and every day so as to protect the warriors and their supplies, regardless of the location they were in. Because of these regulations, a ''vakoranin'' were well-educated in all aspects of construction and resource gathering for the establishment of a temporary or permanent ''kar''. All of the ''vakoranin'' were required to assist in the construction of the camp, ensuring the swift completion of the structure within four or five hours time, complete with all of the necessities the warriors required while resting inside of the walls of the ''kar''. No military action within the surrounding region would even be considered without first properly establishing a ''kar''. According to the warrior manuals of the Zhautakar, a general plan for the layout of the structure is agreed upon by the commanders, the ground for the ''kar'' was leveled and gaps filled, the ''vakoranin'' warriors assigned their roles by ''jadon'', and work areas established so as to ensure a continuous cycle of construction.
