The Volunteer Army of the Just King (Clashonian: Frywillygé Armëe dyr Rëekts Känygs: FARK) was a far-right, radical monarchist paramilitary force, that operated in Clashonia and Weisserstein. Founded in 1904 on the wake of the Unionist coup d'etat, the FARK conducted attacks against the Unionist, and later both Republican, regimes, in the hope of reinstating the Clashonian monarchy. Their methods includes petty warfare and terrorism operations against the Unionist and Republican regimes in Clashonia. Following the monarchy's restoration, the FARK was integrated into the Royal Clashonian Army. The force took its name from an essay by Clashonian monarchist writer Eryck Ëernst vén Völler.
In May 1904, members of the Party of the Union State launched a coup d'etat against the Clashonian monarchy. King Williem II and his family were exiled and sought refuge in Weisserstein. Several prominent supporters of the monarchy would also fled at this time, namely pro-monarchist writer Eryck Ëernst vén Völler. He wrote in an essay 2 weeks after the coup, titled "The Just King and those who removed him." This essay attempted to frame the Unionist movement as an evil force, removing the Just King, in this period Williem II, from power through evil means.
In June 1904, former Major General Gythäart Bryént organized a small, private militia force, whose goal was to reinstate the Clashonian monarchy. It was partly funded by vén Völler, and so the organization was named after his essay. After it was founded, the FARK immediately became involved in an insurgency in the Kleinhart Jura alongside another pro-monarchy militia, Känygsbrigad Oltmann. It would absorb the latter in 1909, as the insurgency was seemingly defeated and FARK retreated to the interior of the Kleinhart Jura.
