Emenzi 1069 Share Posted April 19, 2014 THE HUNTSGUARD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj_wyw6Xrq4 ~ House Stafyr ~ House Stafyr currently led by Lord Farley Stafyr II, son of Lord Edmund Stafyr is a long living and lasting noble house, one that has stood for many generations and shall continue to stand for many more. The house has been through its large share of tragedies and has suffered and gained greatly in their time. The now great house was once a small family of harmless lumberjacks, friends to Oren after providing their skilled services in the lumberjack trade. After a few years within the lands the house grew and grew, expanding as the thought dead members began to reunite within the small hold of Huntshill on the island of Elysium. House Stafyr was once nothing but a few mere lumberjacks, now great lords who follow a moral code of Law, Honor and loyalty, such a code is expected to be followed by its servants as well. This mainly applying to the Huntsguard. ~The Huntsguard~ The Huntsguard is the local guard and military force of House Stafyr, tasked to protect the emperor’s peace within the lands of Stafyr. Formed by Lord Farley II. Stafyr and Ser Daniel Baelish the Huntsguard takes the aspects of regular infantry combat and mixes it together with an elite force of rangers, as given by the name Huntsguard. Named after the old settlement of Stafyr, Huntshill upon the island of Elysium and it’s successor New Huntshill in the lands of the Fringe. Stafyrs being avid hunters and falconeers the old forgotten symbol of House Stafyr, the falcon was chosen to represent the symbol of the Huntsguard, placed upon the golden cross of the house itself. ~ Moral Code ~ The Huntsguard must follow a simple code followed by all nobles of the Stafyr name, the code being: Law, Honour, loyalty. Three simplistic traits that must be taken on, adapted and drilled into the mind of the guardsmen so that they may server the name Stafyr properly. They are taught to respect all and protect the weak, uphold the law and have the utmost loyalty to the house they server. ~Lodging~ The members of the Huntsguard are given lodges within the keep in New Huntshill, all ranks are brought to live and work there regardless of position within the guard, ensuring a bond of companionship between those in the guard as they live under the same roof. ~Ranks~ Within the Huntsguard there are several different ranks and each individual rank has their own role to fill, ensuring that the guard is fully functionable in all their tasks and duties. The guard is also divided into three different sections, there is the guard section, the ranger section and the non combatant section. All sharing equally important roles within the guard. ~The Kommandant~ The Kommandant of the Huntsguard is the sole leader and highest ranking officer of the Huntsguard, a man of important stature within New Huntshill and the main military advisor to the Lord of House Stafyr.

Selected directly by the Lord Stafyr himself, the Kommandant is entrusted as the marshal of House Stafyr, a position as military advisor upon the lord’s council within the Southern keep and is expected to hold the utmost knowledge in different types of war. The Kommandant is not directly responsible for any of the different sections and is to ensure that suitable leaders are chosen for each section, he is however expected to be a rolemodel for all men within the Huntsguard, regardless of section. If anything of major events happened it is the duty of the Kommandant to himself inform the Lord of Stafyr so that actions may be taken, he is also required to give general reports to his lordship every elven week. The Kommandant is outfitted in the finest armour and weapons, also granted a personal sword forged by a master blacksmith as proof of his loyalty and years of service. He is expected to have knowledge in many styles of fighting and to if the Lord Stafyr is incapable directly lead the men upon the field of battle. He is given free quarters and office within the keep but if the captain has a family of his own, he is granted permission to live with his family within a tax free abode in New Huntshill. His quarters in the keep still remaining for his free usage. ~Rekrut~ A Rekrut is a newly fresh recruit, taken from the application process to not yet have been put into any section.

Galendar 631 Share Posted April 20, 2014 A dark growl is heard coming from within the stafyr keep at nights, as of recent. Upon inspection, the source is unknown. Oddly enough, sometimes people wake up missing their left socks and perhaps even all the socks they own... odd.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
