A Darkness is coming and we must be prepared!

Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I would sit down at his desk within the Cathedral of Saint Humbert as he looks over his newest reports from his Holy Rangers and Knights. The news was not good, as the races squabbled with each other while a more sinister problem was slowly arizing. First Adelburg… then Kal'Omith, then the Dragur Library, and then Santeria… the beings seemed to have gained support aswell from the crazed Aengul. “This is troublesome indeed…” he’d say as he calls over his master scribe, saying “I need a favor from you old friend… have your group get to work on creating pamphlets which are to be sent to all the human settlements.”  The master scribe would look him over with curiosity and suspicion “And what am I to say Ser?” Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I would hesitate for a few seconds before speaking once more, “Tell them.. a darkness is coming… and the Church will need Holy Knights and rangers…” He would pause once more “Say… they are to be true of heart and strong in faith.” With that, the scribe got to work sending pamphlets across the North and the farthest human settlements South. Whilst Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I delved over the problem at hand.

Grandmaster:
 
Position held by Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I
 
The Grandmaster is in charge of the whole Order, sworn to serve the High Pontiff and the Canonist Faith.  Seeing to it that each corps was doing their job for the order, giving advice upon conflicts within the order or dealing out judgment himself. He is in charge of making sure the order is kept well organized and well funded. Being the voice for the Order.

Holy Ranger (Both Genders) : 
 
Led by: Eliana Bronislav ‘The Huntress’ 
 
The Rangers were devoid of fear and beasts. With the Lorraine cross around their neck and a bow in their hand, they were considered the most fearsome and deadly warriors. Trained to be agile and resourceful they were able to produce extraordinary outcomes, such as killing a monstrous beast with a simple dagger or end a battle with the pull of their bows. As fearsome as they were they were of small stature, well muscled and fit for speed. They answer to no one except that of their Head Master and that of the Grand Master. Though they held themselves as if they were average people, though mysteries do shroud these figures. 
 
Headmaster:
 
Only they have the power to except those into the corps, no other has such authority. Overseeing and marshaling the others, spending time planning battle tactics and hunts, also taking in all the info given to them and referring that of most priority to the Grandmaster. As the group is spread thin it is their job to keep track of all of them, making sure any problems or news were dealt with quickly. 
 
Senior Rangers:
 
Senior Rangers were the most trusted out of all of the corps, a select few that would provide insight and different points of views to the Head Master. With more trust came more responsibilities such as more land to watch over and more reports needing to be sent in.
 
Rangers:
 
The Rangers are the eyes that were used for armies, observing that of war plans that would be arranged months before execution. As well as finding and removing either wild beasts or unholy creatures. With swiftness and justice, they could be considered the most mysterious and vigilant force alive… bearing with few numbers they were able to complete tasks that would seem almost not humanly possible, before fading back into the background. Using everything to their advantage they were masters of the bow and daggers, delving in poisons which were used for only the most urgent circumstances. 
 
Ranger Cadet:
 
A young ranger in training attempting to become a Ranger, they are assigned to a ranger for five - eight years before being tested and acknowledged as a true ranger. Usually, of young ages, they were those who were not big in stature but were quick with their bodies hailing from the poorest of families to the richest.

Holy Knight (Male) : 
 
Led by: Holy Ser Edward Bronislav II ‘The Young Wolf’ 
 
Holy Knights were the most vigilant, well trained, and devoted men. Training with their preferred weapon they were in charge of keeping the peace between arguments of the faithful and pagans/heretics. With a pure heart and strong devotion, they do not fear death and are willing to lose their lives in order to protect the faith. Their holy mission to protect the faith from all heresy and evil, devoid of fear they are intimidating fighters with skill and fury upon the battle field. Any could be a holy knight, though it was most preferred if they began as a squire, devoting themselves at an early age. 
 
Headmaster:
 
The Headmaster is in charge of the holy knights sworn to serve the High Pontiff and the Canonist Faith.  Seeing to it that his men were well armed, well disciplined, and always active. Seeing to any problems that were of the utmost importance, planning battle tactics, or arranging for events involving a priest or the High Pontiff Himself. 
 
Senior Holy Knights: 
 
As they are considered the most trusted and most skilled at combat the Grandmaster or Headmaster would appoint them himself, known to be fully loyal to the faith they are granted more freedom on what they choose to provide for the order. Whether it being a Champion of the Pontiff or a Priest, or to the Grandmaster. Or taking on another role such as participating more on tactics and events, even making some of their own. 
 
Holy Knights: 
 
Holy Knights are the vanguard for the High Pontiff, as well as the main force of the order, living up to their standards each is skilled at their individual weapons. Armed with strong armor and harsh training they are prepared for the toughest situation, making it known that they would not be afraid to draw arms if needed. Their goal is to serve the High Pontiff and the Faith. Praising God before each fight they would go in without fear, taking on a form of savagery and unyielding strength. 
 
Squires:
 
Squires are boys of eight to sixteen, being assigned to a Holy Knight or Senior Knight, doing tasks training and aiding their Knight. They are to continue training for eight years before they are given a trial in which they must complete before being considered a Holy Knight. Squires could hail from the poorest family to the richest, troublesome or not they are most definitely given the most severe training.

He would attempt to bring the chains around the throat of the viking, however would most likely be over powered.

Unfortunately, we do not accept halflings, as you would unfit to survive the rigorous training involved as well as the demands.

Unfortunately, the Canonist Group does not allow elves to be of their order, though if it's unknown that he was an elf or you chose to play a human you would be accepted.

Dan my man, you misspelled corps every single time and wrote 'corpse' in it's stead, which as I'm sure you know changes the nature of this post greatly...

Arthur pondered in his thought, an inked quill within his grasp, soon beginning to do his best and write slowly; "Truthfully, against a dishonorable opponent, I'd begin by making prayers, though, offering no hesitation to continue the battle in any way possible to keep myself breathing for the next ongoing days. Giving up has never been the answer, nor will it ever be." The message was written out with clear mistakes on larger words, and many other things, like grammar and punctuation - clearly not the work of a novelist!

Dolus slightly bending his knees for better maneuverability, would step of diagonally with his left foot to the vikings right side, while avoiding the downward strike. Doing so he'd aim his following right knee into the groin of the viking, as with both hands upon his axe the viking would easily have left his lower body open. If successful, the viking (naturally) would bend over in pain, at which point Dolus raises his chained hands above the vikings head and would smash downward with a strike of his own to the back of the vikings skull with the metal chain. Likely knocking him unconscious or in the very least giving himself time to flee and survive, allowing him to live and come back another day to seek his revenge.
