The Order Of The Flaming Rose

[Stevie 1598]

 

THE ORDER OF THE FLAMING ROSE

 

 

 

“And from the ashes of an Order that once left these lands, we return with the Rose still on our tabards and in our hearts, only now we set fire to the petals, and bring forth a fiery retribution upon the enemies of Man and the Empire. Set fire to the Rose, and set fire to our enemies. Saint Owyn guide you, men of the Rose.”

         -Robert Primus Aeldinicus Chivay, addressing the newly christened Order.

 

The Order of the Flaming Rose, created by Robert Chivay, has been established to act as an integral and involving force in the Imperium Tertius, its members sworn to uphold the honor and integrity of the Order above all else. Built upon the framework of the Order of the White Rose, the Flaming Rose is the White Rose’s successor, and much of its structure will be based on the old Order.

 

The Order acts as the personal retinue of House Chivay, and is currently based in the citadel of Kaer Angren. There, the Order recruits, trains, and prepares to destroy the enemies of Man, guided by their Patron Saint, Owyn.

=======================================================

 

Ranks

 

SENIOR COMMAND

 

Grandmaster - Helton Chivay

The Grandmaster is the supreme head of the Order, whose authority is unquestionable and his word law. Held for life, the title of Grandmaster is a truly prestigious position, and the Grandmaster is expected to perform his duties to the best of his ability, always securing the interests of the Order first and foremost. A successor of the Grandmaster is chosen among the Master and Commanders, and if one is not chosen before the death of the acting Grandmaster, the most senior Master and Commander assumes the rank.

 

Master and Commander - Castor Sparrow, Marcel de Bretagne, Brendt Chivay

The Master and Commander is the overall commander of the Order. Under the Grand Master, he has complete command in the field. The Master and Commander may also manage specific sections of the Order and further delegate the overall management of the Order. The Master and Commander reserves a seat in the Flaming Rose Council.

 

Confanonier (Captain) - Richard Forrester

The Confanonier is in charge of all Enlisted and assumes indirect control when out in the field. He is their paymaster, their overall trainer, and a role model to all ranks. There is only permitted one Captain in service, and reserves a seat in the Flaming Rose Council.

 

HIGH COMMAND

 

Senior Knight

The Senior Knight has shown his ability to command, lead, and battle effectively. They are considered advisors to the Confanonier and Senior Command, and will often be given command of a detachment of Knights, whether it be during battle, occupation, or general procedures. Upon special occasion, the Senior Knights may be permitted a seat in the Flaming Rose Council. Most Senior Knights are nobles within the Empire, and share a value in its decisions.

 

Decurion

The Decurion is the grizzled Order soldier, proven time and time again of their dedication and devotion to the Order, by either means of battle or administration. The Decurion are usually at the center of any Order battle line, and their driving experience is able to inspire Order members all around them, pushing them to extremities. The Decurion is the highest command rank below the Senior level, and can even command Senior Knights when necessary.

 

DECURION SPECIALIZED RANKS

 

Quartermaster

The Quartermaster is tasked with the proper maintenance of all military supplies that come with being a battle-hardened Order. The Quartermaster has a level head and an eye for organization, and is the man to see for non-standard weapon or armour requisitions. The Quartermaster will also work closely with the Seneschal of the Order to help keep proper records and avoid confusion. The Quartermaster is considered a specialized Decurion, and has the same privileges as the rank entails.

 

Disciplinary

The Disciplinary is tasked with upholding and maintaining the highest form of discipline within the Enlisted ranks of the Order. They are the prioritized man who will issue most lashings and other disciplinary actions at the consent of a High Command or on his own accord. The Disciplinary is to be well respected within the Enlisted ranks, and will not hesitate to lay down a gauntlet of fear and organization to achieve a rank-and-file professional force. The Disciplinary is also considered a specialized Decurion, and has the same privileges as the rank entails.

 

LOW COMMAND

 

Knight

The Knight is the acting lieutenant in the field, able to command over a detachment of Enlisted with ease. The Knights are the elite soldiers of the Rose, and should be treated as such. The Knights are also personal advisors to the Senior Knights, and are able to take on a Squire for the Knight’s own personal needs, like caring for his arms and armor.

 

Ensign

The Ensign is a junior officer and the first opportunity to command contingents of Order soldiers. The Ensign may also be tasked with leading a specialized force of the Order, such as scouts or a vanguard. The Ensign should not consider himself superior to the Enlisted, and reports of elitism will be dealt with severely.

 

ENLISTED

 

Primus

The Primus is the elite of the Enlisted. A veteran of both peace and war, a loyal soldier, and a man of many skills and achievements. They have proven themselves as the cream of the crop, and are the model Enlisted soldier. The Primus has the choice of pursuing a Knighthood under the Order, or choose to command under the Officer wing, starting at Ensign.

 

Man-at-arms

The Man-at-arms are the backbone of the Order’s military forces. The Man-at-arms are instructed by the High Command, making up the main battle line, the Man-at-arms is the rank-and-file soldier of the Order, who follows orders willingly and obediently. The Man-at-arms is to respect every member of the High and Senior Command, and must refuse to contradict their orders in a public setting. If a critique is absolutely necessary, the Man-at-arms may request a private audience.

 

Footman

The Footman has finally taken his oaths and proven himself capable of receiving full-time training and is considered a recruit in the eyes of the Order, and will either receive official training from the High Command, or through a personal apprenticeship with a Men-at-arms or anyone in High Command. Much like the Men-at-arms, the Footman must obey and respect all command in the Order. If a critique is absolutely necessary, the Footman may request a private audience.

 

Unoathed

The Unoathed is an initiate in the Order, who seeks to prove himself worthy of taking official oaths and proper training. The Unoathed can be considered to be under a trial phase for possible entries, and will receive basic training to determine their worth. Unoathed are not required to take oaths, and the Unoathed is also considered not officially of the Order; their actions not the responsibility of the Flaming Rose.

Show us the true way in the dark

Immutable Maker;

Help us keep the chastity mark.

In His majesty, we eagerly battle;

And in Him, victorious we settle.

Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none

A mind without purpose will wander in dark places

Listen not to the Elf, look not upon the elf, speak not with the alien!

The Witcher of The Decterum sighs at the new competition of military order. They'll be gaining recruits quickly with their old fame.

[Avacyn 1706]

Once again, Gawain Briarwood notices the absence of his grandfather Marcus' name from the posthumously-granted Rhoswenii list. Since he was indeed a Rose in his life, Gawain quickly writes a letter questioning the lack of Marcus Briarwood's name, sending it to the Flaming Rose.

[3Pac 104]

Dion's dead head would wonder why he's not on the list of posthumous Rhoswenii, but can't because he's dead.
