HappyShackles 886 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The Brotherhood of the Pale Crescent Stamped by the King and High Pontiff Purposes The Brotherhood has four major purposes that all of it's members abide to and strive towards. They are the following. I. Study the nature of supernatural and magical foes of the Kingdom and of all mortal races in order to increase combat effectiveness against them. II. Search for, acquire, and study artifacts or items with magical properties, being certain they never fall into hands that may abuse or misuse them. III. Hunt down and eliminate or reform mages who violate the Tenets of the Pale Crescent. Mages receive a single warning before they are captured and reformed. A Mage who violates the Tenets after reformation will be hunted down and eliminated. IV. In the event of war or other international conflict, the Brotherhood will act in the interest of the Holy Kingdom of Oren first and foremost. The Tenets of the Pale Crescent I. One may never use magic in combat unless life is at stake. Magic for utility is permissible, but ostentation is strictly forbidden. II. One may never teach practical magic to one the Brotherhood does not believe deserving or competent enough. III. All who have the ability to use practical magic must make all of their personal information, including magical abilities, names, relationships and place of residence, available to the Brotherhood at will. VI. One may never practice magic with the intent of using it to do harm to innocents. V. None may share experimental or scholarly pursuits in magic to any outside of the Brotherhood. They can be shared freely within the Brotherhood. VI. One who uses practical magic and commits a capital offense in any nation, regardless of whether the offense was committed with magic, will be hunted and eliminated. VII. One who studies or practices dark magic, including necromancy must serve and live with the Brotherhood, or die. VIII. The Creator and his Church must be respected and honored during all magical practices to keep the Brotherhood free from the taint of darkness. Any who do not abide by this will be hunted down and reeducated or eliminated regardless of nation or race. Hierarchy and Prestige Prestige is a method used by the Brotherhood to record each member’s deeds and contributions to the Brotherhood.

Castus 67 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The High Pontiff shakes his head, and turns to the man beside him, "Send someone to investigate this order. Any who study darkness are likely to fall into its depths. Even their name sounds like heretical longears symbolism. This cannot be allowed without confirmation of the piousness of its members."

thecrazycoes 0 Share Posted March 12, 2014 James glances at the poster as he chews on a slice of warm, pumpkin pie. He looks towards his old friend Damien Basileus, "Oi! Do I have to send in an application?" After a quick nod from his friend, he rolls his eyes and sticks the rest of the pie in his mouth while he grabs for pen and parchment. Application Name: James Belarus Race: Human Age: 27 Nationality: Kingdom of Oren Ambition: I have served with the great house Basileus ever since I was a young lad. Some of them have been my friends and have let me protect them for many years now. When I saw the poster I instantly became interested with such an order, and I see the chance to increase my knowledge in the path of the blade. Skills: I have a distinct interest in drilling and teaching military ways. I am decent with a sword and crossbow, and can swear my sword and loyalty too those I truly believe in.

Ghrotto 0 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mordyn Damaske turns to looks at Lorethos as he sees him place the poster up "Must I put in an official request, Lore? I have already served you and your family for thirteen years now, so it should be obvious I would join." Lorethos would nod with a small smirk "Aye, Mordyn, would be best to do it for formalities and such." Mordyn would then nod slightly wondering off to find James to steal some parchment from him since he'd run out recently. Name: Mordyn Damaske Race: Southeron Human Age: 33 Nationality: Kingdom of Oren Ambition: I have stood by my good friends the Basileus family for thirteen years now, protecting them. I see this as a way to continue my training further as well as remain close to protect what is dear to me. Skills: I have good skills with the sword and shield, but my main focus is polearms, the Halberd being my best weapon and weapon of choice. While training with polearms I learned how to fight with staves as well, just on the off chance that it would be all that is available to use at any time.
