@Shadow,

I got the impression that the modern version of Huntsmen appeared mostly to depoliticise them. Previously, it looks like the Kingdoms controlled Dust/Aura Warriors from their territory and this may have allowed the Anti-Individualists to create an army of Huntsmen-equivalents prior to the Great War. What the founders of the Academies wanted to do was detach the defenders of humanity from individual Kingdoms and political affiliation and make them genuinely neutral paladins.

Ironwood seems to have broken this tradition.
