The Sutican Watch

Stalwart protectors of the Federation of Sutica, the members of the Watch serve as the law enforcers and soldiers of the realm. They are foremost loyal to the sitting Trade Monarch of Sutica. In the city and surrounding lands the members of the Watch keep the peace, mediate disputes, fend off predators in the fields, and stop criminals in their tracks.

The laws which they are beholden to enforce are bound within the Codex of Sutica, the book of laws within the great realm of Sutica. Their roles and responsibilities are outlined both in this handbook and within the Writ of Governance. There are no exceptions, modifications or other interpretations of the responsibilities of the Sutican Watch other than the written will of the Trade Monarch found in those documents. During times of conflict the Sutican Watch is called to serve as the military force of Sutica, defending the walls and citizens of our beloved city-state with their lives.

1. Mission of the Watch

“We stand watch and protect the Sacred Monarch of the realm, the rights of the people and its plentiful land”

Oath of the Watch

“I [Insert name] do solemnly swear

without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion,

To pledge my undying loyalty to the Service of Sutican Watch,

to the Trade Monarch of Sutica for which guides this land,

And to the citizens and subjects under the Monarch

I pledge my efforts to the defense of the institutions of the Federation

I pledge my body as a tool for the Federation,

a shield to the innocent, and a sword to the unjust

I shall uphold to the principles of the creed, and maintain the dignity of the Watch

I shall obey the orders of those placed above me, and I shall never falter from this oath

On my soul, honor [and on… insert deity here if applicable] this I swear.

Sutica Eternal!”

Code of the Watch  

“To be poised and ready to serve with faith and in oath.

To guarantee the safety of those we are sworn to protect.

To maintain fortitude of the mind and the spirit.

To protect and uphold the Law against those who seek to assail it’s writ.

To defend against oppression and deception.

To guard the peaceful against disorder and chaos.”

2. Chain of Command

The Chain of Command begins with the Trade Monarch of Sutica down to Captains then to the Sergeants of the Watch where command stops. Constables and Gate Authority exert no command on those of any rank or stature.

3. Ranks of the Watch

Gate Authority

Not officially a member of the Sutican Watch, the Gate Authority are certain citizens held in high regard by both the Trade Monarch of Sutica and the Captains of the Watch. These individuals have been granted special permission to access the Sutican Gatehouse. This is to insure the daily flow of traffic is not interrupted through the gates. These members bear no further responsibilities besides maintaining the gates.

Constable

The first rank of the Sutican Watch, the Constables are the largest body of the organization, handling the day-to-day grunt work and general patrolling of the city and its surrounding lands. When situations arise these men and women are expected to be the first to react, keeping a calm demeanor and establishing a sense of control over any erupting chaos.

Sergeant

The second rank of the Sutican Watch and the first level of what would be considered to be an officer. Sergeants are senior members of the Watch who have proven their worth and competence in leadership and decision making. During situations the Sergeant has the authority to issue orders to the Constables present unless overruled by one of higher rank.

Captain

The third and final rank of the Sutican Watch, these few individuals are the senior officers and overseers of the functions of the organization. In the absences of the Trade Monarch, this position has final authority over all actions of the Watch.

4. Special Positions and Noncombatants

Prison Guards

Prison Guards are members of the Sutican Watch who handle those charged with crimes, maintaining that they are treated to a decent standard. Watch members of this position hold the sole duty of being selected for handling the treatment of detained criminals. Members of this position must be ready to use violence if necessary to protect against escape attempts, or at least be willing to use self defense.

Quartermaster

The Quartermaster handles the logistics of the Sutican Watch. It is their duty to insure each member receives their proper pay, and that each member is equipped to the highest standards. The member who holds this position will be granted an office within the barracks to work from. This member will be responsible for the inventory of the guard as well as granting and evicting barrack rooms. The Quartermaster may choose to be a noncombatant if they wish so.

Chaplain

Sutica is a secular nation, but that does not mean our nation does not understand our Watch members spiritual needs. It is the primary duty of the Watch Chaplain to aid the members of the Watch in attaining that need. A Watch Chaplain must be well versed in multiple religious customs in order to provide for that large variety of religions within the guard itself. The Role of Chaplain is a Non-combatant Role and has no further duties associated with it.

Field Medic

More than other jobs, members of the Sutican Watch are likely to become injured from time to time, and require assistants out in the city away from the clinic. The Field Medic is a position responsible for maintaining the health of our guards. Like the Quartermaster is to equipment, the Field Medic is to the bodies of the Watch. In times where the Watch does not need medical aid, it is up to the Field Medic to apply their knowledge to citizens in need.

5. Honors & Medals

Listed in order of precedence -- Additional Medals may be listed in the Handbook

Anchor of Valour
The Anchor of Valour is the Federations highest honor, awarded by the ruling Trade Monarch themselves. The Anchor of Valor is given to those that demonstrate acts of valor far beyond the call of duty. To receive the award is quite difficult and requires having your efforts recognised by the Trade Monarch themselves.

Archrims Legacy - A Royal Eternal
Named after Captain Archrim this medal is a level above the medal of sacrifice in that it is only ever bestowed upon those those that have given their all and placed everything on the line in the defence of Sutica. By risking it all, they have demonstrated their dedication to the Oath, and will be forever remembered for their contributions to the Nation. Every member which has been bestowed this medal shall also be granted the rank of Royal Eternal as a lasting mark of their dedication.

Medal of Sacrifice
This medal is given to those who have sacrificed permanent loss of ability in protecting and serving the federation. It is given with the blessing of the Trade Monarch to show their unending support of those who have sacrificed to see the  Federation continue to grow and prosper. This is given to those that were willing to sacrifice something, for the federation to gain something else.

Medal of Civic Honor

This medal is granted to citizens of the nation who have shown tremendous effort towards the security of the Sutican way of life. It is the highest Non-Watch medal, being granted directly by the Trade Monarch themself. It is to serve as a reminder of the binding nature of Sutican citizenship and those who have risked it all for the greater good fo the community as a whole.

Ribbon of Heroism
Given to a individual who has against all odds demonstrated boundless courage and has performed above and beyond in service to his fellow Watch members and in doing so saved the life or lives of his companions. As well as those that achieve results far beyond typical expectations in the service of the federation.

Ribbon of Loyalty
This military honor is given to those individuals that stood and continue to stand firm in their duty to the Trade Monarch. This is usually awarded by the Captains of the Watch. It is awarded to those that have devoted their life to the watch and to the sacred Trade Monarch of the Federation.

Campaign Medals
Campaign Medals are granted to members of the Sutican Watch who endured during major conflicts or during expeditions. These medals are to serve as a reminder of the actions they took part of and as an outward display to remember those who may not have returned. To receive this class of medal it is only necessary for the member to have taken part in a campaign deemed fit by a Captain of the Watch with permission of the Trade Monarch to receive a medal.

Medal of Eternal Memory
This Medal is given to the families of those that lost their loved ones in their duty to the Trade Monarch and the federation. At the end of every second year a remembrance ceremony is held to commemorate the ones who lost their lives during the years and to remember the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the years long gone, the medal given to the families of the fallen at this time.

6. Administrative Policies

Duties

Law Enforcement -- The primary duty of the Watch is to maintain a strict following of the Sutican Codex of laws. The Watch has responsibility for charging crimes and handing out punishment. Every law must be obeyed by everyone no matter what, from the lowest pleb to the highest standing noble no one is above the law as set out by the Trade Monarch and their government. It is the first and foremost goal of The Sutican Watch is to maintain and understand the laws of Sutica. For no matter how much we train our physical bodies, if we do not understand our laws it makes us no different from the wild bandit who roams the highways at night. Therefore it is not an excuse for a guard not to understand the laws of the nation.

Royal Protection -- Perhaps the most sacred duty of the Sutican watchman is the defence of the Trade Monarch of Sutica. All Watch members must swear an oath of fealty to the sovereign and be prepared to lay down one's life to protect them. For the Trade Monarch is the primary institution from which all other derive, and without it Sutica would not exist as it does today.

Sutican Defence -- The diplomatic stance of the Federation is Neutrality. However as all know even neutral nations may find themselves under attack. It is therefore imperative that Sutica, lacking a proper standing army, have a guard forced trained in the manner of defense and combat in general. All equipment for the Watch is provided by the nation ensuring the members are equipped with the best weapons. This alongside rigorous training ensure the battle readiness of the Watch to bring sword and shield into the fray in defence of Sutica if the need ever arise.  No one in Sutica wants to fight, but if a fight shall come, we will be a nation prepared.

City Watch -- City watch is one of the main duties of the Sutican Watch, watching to city proper and seeking out and putting a stop to any criminal behaviour. The simple presence of a member of the Watch walking the streets or standing in a tavern on watch has proven to lower the chance of criminal activity significantly. At times the simple presence and show of force the Watch exerts by being around is enough to quell much of the unrest known to infect the city. However, if deterrence alone is not enough, and creatures of the night take to flight through our city, it is the duty of the men and women of the Watch to pursue until the criminal is caught.

Gate Management -- The city gates are one of the first line of defence, it allows the Watch to check the identities of any visitors. This short screening process is crucial to the protection of Sutica as it enables a method of weeding out the unwanted miscreants from entering the city. Such as those whom have been banished from the federation of Sutica. The Gate house should always be manned by at least one or ideally two Watch members at a time, one works the gates and takes down notes on those entering the city to be included in reports filed at the end of a Watch’s shift. The other conducts interviews and inspections searching for suspicious and shady persons.

Patrols -- Patrols are exterior excursions outside of the city walls by groups of Watch members to survey the full extent of Sutican land.  A common misconception is that Sutica is the City itself, but Sutican law extends far beyond the walls, and this land must be protected and kept free from bandits. Watchmen must uphold the and protect citizens along the road outside of Sutica.  This will help ensure the safety felt by all the merchants that flock to Sutica and its policy of free trade.

Expeditions -- Expeditions are military and diplomatic excursions beyond the lands of Sutica. They are called up when a great emergency exists throughout the world in which it becomes necessary for Sutica to respond. The most commonly known example of Sutican Expeditions is the multitude of expeditions taken on by the Lord Protector to combat the threat of the Dark Druid in the war for Ceru.

Public Relations -- The Watch are the face of the Federation of Sutica. Watch members are the first impression that any visitor has of Sutica, and therefore it is the duty of the Watch to uphold an air of decorum and civility which reflects upon Sutica. Watch members are members of the community as much as any citizen, it is therefore recommended that Watch members take part in daily community life. However, watch members must also maintain a level of authority when it is necessary to be firm. Remember that Every individual Watch members represents the federation of Sutica and we should carry ourselves as such and act accordingly.

Reports -- Reporting on major events and incidents is a crucial part of a Watch members’ job, this allows fellow Watch members to be aware of the happenings of Sutica during their own off hours. Ideally every Watch member should read the reports of their colleagues thus allowing each shift to be made aware of any major incidents involving suspicious people. This ensure that every Watch member is on the same page and allows us to be more vigilant in regards to repeat offenders, being able to catch them in the act or even before they have the chance to cause trouble. Reporting also allows Superiors and members of the government to keep a tracked record of the success and failures of both the Law and the Law enforcement allowing any changes or adjustments to be made to counter any critical issues. In this same regard Reports allow a way of the Watch expressing their own opinions and ideas for change to higher ups via their reports, suggestions from the point of view of those of us that walk the streets upholding the law and protecting Sutica and all the struggles we encounter in doing so.

Training and Maintenance -- All members of the Watch are responsible for the maintenance and maintaining of all gear granted to them. A rusty and dull sword will not pierce and a rotted out shield will not stop an arrow from piercing it. Therefore making sure your equipment is always at a peak state is an important responsibility of the Watch. Much like your other equipment your body is to be a sword and shield to the Federation, and as such must always be maintained just like your actual sword and shield. They must ensure that they do not suffer from any crippling injuries that may hinder their fighting capabilities, if any arise the Watch member should seek immediate medical aid. Weapons training and sparring is a necessity to maintain oneself as an able bodied fighter ready to draw steel in defence of the Federation. One cannot train alone however, and therefore the Watch shall have joint training sessions to both practice our tactics and to earn trust and faith in our fellow Watch members.
 

Wages

Full Details on current Wages are found in the Sutican Watch Handbook

Base Pay -- Each member of the Sutican Watch will receive a flat rate of pay for merely serving in the ranks of the Watch subject to adjustment by the Trade Monarch of Sutica, Quartermaster, and Captains of the Guard.

Service Pay  -- In addition to the Base Pay of the Sutican Watch, Members shall receive additional bonus pay for reported hours working. (Such as working the Gate or other additional tasks.)

Incident Pay -- For taking part in actively apprehending and charging suspects, additional stipends will be granted directly correlating to the extent of the crime.

Drilling and Combat Pay -- Additional lump sum amounts may be paid based upon serving in Expeditions and for taking part in training. These amounts are regulated by the officer directly in control of the operations.

Recruitment
Recruit of the Watch falls to the duties of the Sergeants, overseen by the Captains and the Trade Monarch of Sutica. The recruitment process is rather simple as it is only once recruited that a Watch member is truly tested in their ability to serve as such the only requirements are a individual is of fit and fighting shape and can follow orders. From there most of the needed skills and knowledge require to dutifully carry out one's role as a Watch member can be taught through experience and instruction.

There are three methods of recruitment currently, the first is by approaching a watch officer of which can be identified by their distinct uniform when compared to the regular rank and file. After a short interview process and perhaps a trial of combat to prove one's ability to fight the officer can decide to give the potential recruit a position in the Watch.

The second method of recruitment is done via a recruitment notices posted throughout the world of atlas, potential recruits can post an application via courier or bird to the Watch barracks in Sutica where there application will be reviewed by a officer, upon the completion of the review the applicant will either be invited to come to sutica for a in person inspection and interview or they will be denied if deemed unfit and receive a letter informing them of such.

The final method of recruitment occurs when a Captain of the Watch or the Trade Monarch themselves note the aptitude and abilities of a citizen and personally invite them t0 the Watch force. This method of recruitment will usually provides the fastest entry into the force as it does not require an interview or a trial of combat.

Disciplinary Action
In the unthinkable case that a member of the Sutican Watch exploits the trust which was placed in them. The leadership of the Watch is granted the ability to punish the individual as deemed fit. Disciplinary actions are necessary to ensure the rigid standards of the Watch. As a member of the Watch you are held to higher standards than the Citizenry and therefore shall be punished to a higher level for similar crimes against the Federation. It is also the duty of all Watch members to report any such dishonors to their higher ups, or they shall be punished for the same acts.

For minor offenses such as minor uniform violations and other minor conduct violations the punishment might include barring of pay, requiring the offender to do additional exercises, public humiliation, or other minor and temporary punishments.

For major offenses such as disobeying orders, undermining Sutican defences, aiding criminals, and other major conduct violations more lasting disciplinary actions will be used. These include but are not limited to flogging, reduction in rank, discharge, branding, and execution. However, all major disciplinary measures must be signed off by a Captain of the Watch or the Trade Monarch. Any member found guilty of a major offense can request an audit by the Trade Monarch.

All disciplinary actions are subject for audit by the Trade Monarch. If the punishment is found to be grossly unfit, the original arbitrator of the punishment shall be forced to be dealt the same punishment three times over. Any officer found under audit for a punishment can request to be tried in a public court.

Discharge
Discharge from the Watch can occur in one of two ways, voluntary retirement or forceful ejection. When a Watch member retires from the force they give up all the responsibilities and privileges of that they once had however in some cases a reward or entitlement for long and dedicated service may or may not be bestowed upon a retiring veteran of the Watch this is rare and occurs only at the discretion of the Captains of the Watch and his/her superiors.

A forceful Discharge is akin to a dishonourable one but not always the same, however in effect both have the same outcome as the Watch member in question is ejected from the Watch, stripped of their uniform and all privileges that went along with the uniform. Forceful discharge can happen due to a range of reasons the most common of which is failure to follow orders of superior officers. A more unique situation is that if it is decided that a Watch member is simply unfit for the rigours and responsibilities of serving and protecting the people and federation of sutica it may be decided that they are to be ejected from the Watch for their own good or the betterment of the Watch itself.

Local Security and Supplementary Forces

In certain situations the Trade Monarch of Sutica may authorize additional public security for certain aspect of Law Enforcement in the Federation of Sutica. These forces while in the Federation of Sutica these forces are under the service of the Sutican Watch. All members of forces must uphold the standard of the Watch in order to continue service inside of Sutica.

Local Security forces are internal public safety agencies tasked with law enforcement in certain sections of the Federation of Sutica. These forces are entirely internal and may not act outside of their local area unless levied by Watch officers for the defense of the Federation or for an expedition.

Supplementary forces are forces hired or given permission by the Trade Princess to exist within Sutica and have been given explicit authorization for handling law enforcement. While in Sutica all operations by Supplementary forces are overseen by the Sutican Watch. Supplementary forces do not represent Sutica in any official capacity, and the forces may not act outside of Sutican borders.

7. Uniform and Handbook

Standard of the Uniform

The uniform of the Watch is granted great protection and status among all walks of the world. It is a sign of self-sacrifice for the realm of Sutica; a symbol of strength and honor among a world full of bandits and degenerates; a shield to the all innocence and to the freedom of liveliness to all. To wear it is a great honor, and to shame one’s self is to shame both the Uniform and the Federation. To disgrace the Uniform is not only an insult to your people; it is a violation of the the trust and faith put into you as part of the Watch and a horrendous case of misconduct.

Modifications to the Uniform

But onto more practical matters: the uniform of the Sutican Watch will not be edited in any way that is disgraceful or of ill-taste, but personalization is otherwise welcomed. Adorning an armband, sporting basic decal painting on the shoulders, and one other single personalized touch to the uniform is encouraged. A gross infringement upon the uniformity of the Uniform shall lead to disciplinary measures to be taken against the offender.

Alternative Uniforms

In addition to the normal Guard Attire several alternative uniforms have been created to allow for a fluidity of our members. As we understand a large section of our city is made of voidal mages we do offer robes to accommodate for being unable to wear heavy armour. Also understanding that our Watch members do not alway wish to be in uniform we also offer Armbands which can be placed over their sleeves in order to uphold the authority if the situation arises while they are off duty.

Handbook

Members of the Sutican Watch will also receive the handbook of the Watch which details the full code of conduct for members of the Watch. It contains sections for reporting as well. Other sections include guidelines for the operation of weaponry and other operations in the field. This book serves as a legal document for operation unless it conflict with the Writ of Governance, The Codex of Sutica, or any other official act of the Trade Monarch or government.

III.  Servants of the Officiating Bodies of State

Many of the Ministries of Sutica require additional aids in their tasks below are the most common Servants of which all belong to the two permanent Ministries. This, however, does not mean a temporary Ministry could not have servants or aids.

1. Stewards

Stewards operate within the grounds of the ministry of the interior. It is their job to manage the little day to day tasks of the city. This includes managing the city registry, moving citizens into homes and evicting others.

a) Stewards reserve the right to not grant you a home within the city.

3. Guards

Guards operate within the grounds of the Ministry of Defense. It is their job to guard the city and to keep its citizens safe.  The laws and regulations binding the actions of guards are detailed in the Sutican Codex and Handbook of the watch.

It is the true word of our Concord that forms the basis of all law. The words of our Lexicon of Harmony forms the essence of order.

There is, and forever shall be, one essential justice which cements our society, and one set of edicts which establishes its command. This law is right and reason, the true word of the Concord which binds all edicts and commandments of the reigning Empyrion. Whoever neglects this law, be they written or unwritten, shall be considered wicked and unjust, and as such will suffer the consequences of their actions.

Law, as a staple, is what brings and keeps a society together. It is the glue that cements the foundations of a people together in such a way that keeps the people of it’s confines safe and secure. This expectancy is a line that should never be crossed, a wall never to be torn down. As problems arise and morality is questioned, these edicts stand resolute as a distinct and noted path that we must all follow. These are our directions, our bound oath. Consequences are interpreted uniquely by those who experience it, the subjective thought that derails the true sense of justice and right. Whatever the opinion or idea, these concrete transgressions are stapled to ensure that actions and consequences are never questioned. Within this document is contained the 1st Edict of Llyrian Law, the law of which is to be enacted among all bodies of the Llyrian Concord; how the law shall operate; and how punishments are set forth.

Signed,

Ithrendas Regis Iyliar,

Empyrion of Llyria, Guardian of the Primordial, and Paragon of the Ohr

10th Snow’s Maiden, 1720

Class A

When a crime is so abhorrent that one dare not even speak of it, it is considered a Class A crime. Class A crimes are punishable by means of Exile, Dismemberment, or in certain cases, Death. These crimes are so heinous that punishments for them are regularly handed out by the reigning Empyrion themself.

High Treason

• Attempted murder of the Empyrion, the Regis Bloodline, or any member of the Lordly Consul.

• Betrayal, leaking of information on projects or otherwise is considered an affront to the privacy and sanctity of Llyrian affairs.

• Infiltration of any form of Government for personal, or professional benefits.

• Attempts to coup the reigning Empyrion through any means is an act of open revolt.

• Instigating war against the state, offering aid to enemies of the state, or attempting to undermine the established state’s Line of Succession.

Mass and Serial Murder

• While the act of Murder is considered a Class B crime, repeated instances of Murder will result in a harsher punishment.

• The higher the kill count, the harsher the punishment.

Hello!

If you are reading this, you are either thinking of making a wood elf character, or have just been handed this in-game after wandering into Glaedwynn for the first time. Well, if you're looking to integrate into wood elven society, or even just get the information you need to flesh out your character's backstory, this thread has everything wood-elfy you need to know, all compiled in one place!

You may have seen something like this before being shown this thread:

If you have been linked this thread in the form of a 'bundle of scrolls' in RP, or told to go find them in the Caras Eldar library (like in the screenshot above), then each one of the threads below represents an individual scroll which your character is now in possession of in roleplay. Any information you read on these threads you can then translate into your character reading off of the scrolls.

However, even if you were not given any 'scrolls' in RP or directly linked to this thread by someone, you are encouraged to make your wood elf character have least have some background knowledge of all the information below.  So, you can read the threads OOCly (out-of-character), then proceed to implement it into your character's background and roleplay accordingly.

Enjoy the reads below, and happy RPing!

[OOC] Appearance Guide

How to make your wood elf look lore-appropriate. Short version: Don't be pale.

Note: This thread is purely out-of-character and will not be one of the scrolls you can find and read in roleplay.

Aspectism

The official religion of the Laurelin elves. This is possibly the most important aspect (pun intended) of wood elf RP, and if you choose to only read one post linked here, it should be this one!

The Naelurir

A branch of the druidic order. The Naelurir are elven druids who serve as the warrior-priests of wood elf kind. Their job consists part-time of maintaining Aspectist tradition in Linandria, and controlling nature itself to fight off all manner of spooky invaders.

The Wood Elven Seeds

Seeds are tight-knit wood elven tribal groups who dominate the politics of Linandria (like human noble houses). Their unique cultures and quirks form the main dynamics of wood elven life. Seeds have roots in ancient wood elf history.

Cultural Tattoos

A gallery of tattoos (known as Ilmyumier) worn by the Wood Elves to indicate certain statuses and roles.

Ancient History

How it all began. This thread tells the story of how all the major pieces of wood elf culture came to be, from Aspectism, to the Seeds, and even the Naelurir. A must read for any educated wood elf!

Societal Roles

Your daily dose of patriarchal oppression. Just kidding. Like any society, the wood elves have roles and cultural guidelines. Read up on them here.

This bloodline is famous for their interest in herbalism and apothecy. They provide their knowledge of medicinal practices towards those in need, and are always busy researching new antidotes. Some Tathvirs take a different path, seeking interest in the performing or fine arts. In the past, they have been famous for their refined artists and talented performers. Their contribution towards the Bilokthuln leans towards alchemy, relating towards their curious and creative nature.

In the sense that the tathvirs are very lithe and agile people, they make great scouts in the ivae’fenn. They always wear lightweight armor, or no armor at all, and use knives and short swords as their primary weapon, alongside the bow - making them some of the Princedom’s finest archers.

Many a Tathvir are also known for their capabilities regarding Healing. Several of them have a place within Talar’ikurs Clinic, and the Matriarch of Tathvir herself leads and instructs the healing done within the city.

ANCESTRAL BELONGINGS:

The Tathvirs have two ancient belongings-- The sword of Skalaer, an ancestral weapon passed down only to the bravest of Tathvirs. It is a short sword made of the lightest of metals, said to make a sharp whistling noise before being brought down on its enemies. Besides this, the Tathvirs have a family heirloom named the Ring of Skalaer which is handed to the eldest of their generation.

RANK JOBS

REX

The ruler of the Rexdom, this orc has achieved overarching superiority and domination amongst his people, rising to the top of the ladder with tenacity and merciless brutality. He rules Krugmar and does his best to provide a prosperous rule.

DURGOTHS:

The following ranks are on the Wargoth council.

DOMINUS

The personal advisor of the Rex, he communicates his opinion on the political spectrum, whether it be domestic or international. The Dominus also seeks to mend and tend to the relations with Krugmar’s allies and tributaries, planning feasts, tourneys and other events.

YAZGOTH

The workhouse of Krugmar, this orc seeks to provide the nation with the materialistic items it requires. Whether it be the steel that forges their blades, or the bark that frames their huts, the Yazgoth is there to grind..

MAUGOTH

War is one of the most important aspects of an Orc’s daily life. For a Maugoth, it is everything. The Maugoth tends to the honing of Krugmar’s troops, the planning of offensive assaults and the defensive properties of Krugmar.

WARGOTH

Warlords of their respective clan, these orks earn their place on the Wargoth Council through the leadership of their troops. Warchief clans and below, are not bestowed this honor.

GAZGOTHS:

The following ranks are not on the Wargoth-council, and are typically ranks of Honor.

FRUMGRAT

Spiritualism, a driving cog of which is Krugmar’s lifeblood. The spirits care for Krug’s children, and thus we care for them. However, not many know the spirits as good as the Frumgrat. A leader of shamanism and religion, he shows Krugmar the way the spirits desire.

SNAGAGRAT

A rank of which has proven a great economic and cultural aid, the Snagagrat captures and bestows slaves onto clans and their respective owners. The pricing, type, and clan of the slave is all dependant on the Snagagoth’s opinionated choices.

HUNTSGRAT

A nation needs food, in speciality the children of Krug. Born with supernatural strength, yet a heary appetite. For this, and more decorative reasons, the Huntsgrat often leads his men into the flora, a great task to track their prey.

KESHIG

The Rexs personel bodyguards. Comprised of battle-hardened warriors, who have fought in many of wars. They answer only to the Rex himself, and pledge their ever-ending loyalty to him. 

Iûr-Kû-Uruk

Description

Standing at 1.74m (5’7”), the boy before you presents a pale and soft skin, his hair is colored by a flaming auburn, hanging down to the bottom of his neck. The green eyes of his appear slightly tilted; his eyebrows soft and rather thin. His nose is delicate and somewhat pointy. His jaw seems quite sharp, and easily separates his diamond-shaped head from his medium-sized neck. The lips on his mouth are thin, his teeth shiny and white when he speaks.

The boy appears to have a rather athletic and well cared-for body; his shoulders somewhat  broad and his waist is thin. The muscular appearance of his thighs and well built calf indicate that the boy has trained and used them quite a bit. Overall he seems in a pretty good and able shape.

At the back of Lanre’s back lays the body of a bow, the sting of which rests tightly on the young man’s front body. The upper end of the bow is fixed into his left shoulder, the other end hanging down just bellow his ribs. A nicely designed leather quiver also sits at his back, being equipped to his body via a leather strip going in the same diagonal line across his front body, the same way the bow is.

On both of the right and left sides of the boy’s hips rest two leather pouches, the one on the left being bigger and horizontally placed, portraying the form of a rectangle, and appearing to be holding a small journal. The other patch is quite smaller, and is a short rectangle positioned vertically, it holds some pieces of charcoal for writing on the journal.

It was the dawn of the evening, when the last rays of the golden sun fell smothered beneath the waves of the ocean when the horns blew; the birds and the trees themselves fell silent with trepidation. The noise was a terrible one that shook bones, windows, and insides alike with a fervor that would impart upon the heavens their meaning. From the shores of Qinghai to the Heavens from which Hou Shen ruled, they called the banners for one and all warriors – brigands, fiends, the noble; all would be welcomed to redeem themselves through service.

The Emperor rests upon his laurels, hands left prostrate on his fat belly; eyes like flame fixed upon the horizon of distant Krugmar, and further yet upon the golden fields and valleys of Arcas. Once more Chosen blew the horn and made the trees shake and the fish flee with its power, and again it’s destined recipients were beckoned. Beneath, in the thick of the throng, the few loyalists that lived toted the tools of their trade; the perfidious butcher of Donghai, Pang Jiāngjūn, and the Emperor’s Champion, Shen Bu astride his horse; with Hou-Shen’s spear upon his shoulder.

    “My most loyal retainers!” came the terrible boom of the corpulent despot’s voice to his legion; half-brigand, half-warlord, but ultimately zealous army of simian warriors. “The hour, once scribed in the Heavens, has dawned for the most glorious Empire of God’s chosen tribe! The lands ought to tremble beneath the hooves of our horses!”

“All generals loyal to the Hou are called to our banner; for within and without, we will leave only glory in our wake!”

And with that, the banner of the Shen Dynasty unfurled; forevermore, the Emperor would have his Imperial Guard.

Balrik sat in the Clan Hall, upon the Braduk throne with a deep scowl upon his face. The Braduk Chieftain had been having trouble with one of the Clansmen for a long period of time, and his crimes became clearer the more he came to know. It was clear as to what he must do. “LARTY!” The Pureblooded Orc bellowed, answered by a scrawny goblin making his way towards the Chieftain.

“Yes, Balrik?” The Goblin Herald, Larty Wun Eye looked upon the Braduk with curiosity glinting in his eyes.”Get paper and blood. Lots of it.” He growled, standing up before reciting the following.

[!] Pinned up on the Braduk Clan Hall, and Orc notice board written in different kinds of blood is the following.

BRADUK CLAN

TO THE TRAITOR NAZGUD’BRADUK

YOU ARE CONVICTED AND GUILTY OF BREAKING CLAN LAW I, VI, VII, AND VIII

AS OF THIS DATE, 12TH OF SUN’S SMILE, 1717 YOU ARE CAST OUT FROM THE BRADUK CLAN. IF YOU ARE SEEN BY A BRADUK INSIDE KRUGMAR, OR OUTSIDE, YOU WILL BE CAPTURED AND PUNISHED ACCORDING OF YOUR CRIMES.

THE EVIDENCE IS IN THIS LETTER, WHICH HAS BEEN COPIED AND WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST ALL COPIES OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE BRADUKS RECOMMEND THE KRUGMAR LEADERSHIP LOOK INTO HIS CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE REX FOR PERSONAL GAIN AS WELL.

SIGNED BALRIK’BRADUK, CHIEFTAIN OF THE BRADUK CLAN

WRITTEN BY SCRIBE LARTY WUN EYE

THE ORCS REMEMBER

A Raguk flag stands in the black ash sea of the volcanic lands

A red-hued orc would stand from within the camp, towering over the others as they feasted upon their hunted prey

“FUR TUU LONG DAH ORKS HAV BEEN ZHIT OHN BY DAH EMPIRE KUNTZ!”

Disgruntled murmurs would rise up from the gathering orcs, however still listening intently.

“FUR TUU LONG WEAK REXS HAV LED DAH ORKS!

Murmurs would contort into the nodding of heads, and some from the crowd even spitting offside.

“FUR TUU LONG DAH ORKS HAV FORGOTTEN TRADITION!”

Then, the shields and cleavers would start to clang together, rising up as a tide of sorts until it emerged a roar.

“WHEN WUZ DAH LAZT TIK DAH ORKS WON AH BATTUL? NUB UNDUR DIZ WEAK GOBO REX!”

The goblins would hurry to their war-drums, and the atmosphere darkened with anticipation, silence taking the air; giving space for the ork to finish.

“DIS DAY MARKS DAH CHANGE OB DAT! ANIAZH WHO ZTANDS WIFF DIZ FAKE REX ‘BURBUR’LUR’ AHM AH WHITEWAZH! IF LAT KLOMPS WIFF EMPIRE KUNTZ, LAT AHM AH WHITEWAZH!

DIZ AHM LATZ ONLEE CHANCE, ZTAND WIFF MI, OR LATZ WIHLL FAZE DAH WRATH OB DAH RED TIDE!”

Then, as the ork’s final words escaped his maw, so would a flurry of roars from the rowdy crowds. Once more the war drums sound, once more the steel is sharpened. And once more, the orks shall return to strength.

With that, the orc and others who agreed, left the camp, the only time they shall return, is for bloodshed.

Tier applying for:

First Tier

I will bring the Braduks back to their former glory through blood and death.

I will continue the warpath my father and Kahn set out for us.
I will slay the anyone in my path and let the blood flow for Enrohk.
For Enrohk cares not from where the blood flows – only that it does.
From our triumphs we will forge a new era for all Orcs, an era of war and dominance.

For those that would challenge me, you will find no salvation, no reward, but regret and death.
