Renatus-Marna 218 Share Posted January 11, 2018 HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL MARNAN FREE COMPANY Issued and confirmed by his Royal Majesty, Frederick Pius of Marna, 10th of the First Seed, 1646 His Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company (Freikorps in Waldenian) strives to act as the primary secular force of the king, with duties consisting of enforcing Royal authority across the realm in the name of GOD and King. His Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company is also a citizen army, which implies that soldiers within it, bar the officers, are volunteers who wish to make their home country a better place and often hold civilian roles outside of military life. Furthermore, due to the fact that this remains a Free Company, and thus the Company has no conscripts. As such, those who enlist within his Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company will receive numerous benefits, which include and are not limited to: A free, tax-free home within the capital city of Senntisten. Mining rights to the Marnan national mine. Farming rights to the Marnan national carrot and wheat farms. Ability to enforce local laws throughout Royal jurisdiction. Access to San Marnantine State Penitentiary Ability to don the armor of the Marnan Free Company with pride. Ability to gain prowess amongst the local lords and acquire land within the Apostolic Kingdom of Marna. If one performs especially well within his Majesty’s Marnan Free Company, those who are aspiring may be promoted to serve within his Majesty’s Kingsguard. Those who serve as a member in the Kingsguard gain access to the Royal Palace and a tower within the confines of the structure.https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/169572-the-royal-marnan-kingsguard/ UNIFORM Each volunteer in the Free Company, is upon entry presented with a full set of armor, paid by the State. It’s the piece of equipment a volunteer will be taught how to use, clean and perform maintenance on. It is after all the only piece of armor a man of the company will be given, for free. The Armor and clothing worn underneath, is pitch black and red to allow the citizenry to more easily locate a man of the Free Company. Furthermore, the soldiers of the Marnan free company hold red and yellow badges, the colors of Marna. The dark toned uniforms also also offers some tactical advantage, as it makes one harder to see during night time. Variants of the Free Company Uniform RANKS BRIGADIER - The Brigadier is the appointed commander of the Free Company and holds immediate authority over its operations. He will appoint captains as needed to oversee specific areas of the Company and established geographical sectors, and will approve of all decorations and rank advancements. CAPTAIN - Captains within his Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company serve as administrative officers within the ranking structure. Captains are responsible primarily for taking charge of planning missions in geographical sectors, as well as organizing and maintaining the soldiers placed directly under their authority. PENITENTIARY WARDEN - The Warden of St. Marnantine State Penitentiary is often the most prominent Captain within the free company. The Warden manages the penitentiary prisoners, records and its reception. SERJEANT - Serjeants within his Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company act as non-commissioned officers, consisting of individuals who have aspired to the military lifestyle more so than that of the Corporals. Thus, Serjeants are to be well-trained executors of missions organized by Captains. Likewise, if a Captain is felled in combat, Serjeants will often take over to command the field. CORPORAL - Corporals within his Majesty’s Royal Marnan Free Company are members who are inherently more pacifistic in nature. As such, Corporals have completed a tour of service and normally partake in municipal duties, such as stewarding, baking, etc. Corporals, albeit above that of volunteers, hold no commanding privileges in combat unless all other officers are incapacitated in some manner. CITIZEN-AT-ARMS - These are volunteers who have received sufficient training and have experienced some of the hardships of serving in the Free Company. While higher in seniority than the simple volunteers, a citizen-at-arms holds no sway over his subordinates. VOLUNTEER - Volunteers are civilians who have volunteered to fight for their nation. These individuals have not been beaten, and they have not been deemed fit to move up in the ranking structure. Volunteers will be taught how to defend themselves, additionally they will often perform labour, for example volunteers are those who take the largest part in constructing fortifications and outposts. AWARDS RUFUS’ EDGE - For the brave and faithful. Awarded for valour in the battlefield or for impeccable service during peace. The award itself is a spear head fashioned out of gold. CLIMBER’S PRIZE - For the agile. Awarded for those who are first over the walls of a besieged city. The award is a bricked tower decorated with turrets, fashioned out of silver. CLERGYMAN’S ENVY - For the pious soul. Awarded to the most prominent Canonist in service to the Free Company. The recipient must display immense Canonist values. The award itself is no physical object, rather a title, which is “Pius Felix” From High Imperial into common, it translates into “Pious and Blessed” DOVE’S COMPANION - For the mediator. Awarded to the bringer of peace. The recipient has successfully argued for peace between two or more people. The merit itself is a bronze olive branch COMMANDER’S GORGET - For the successful officer. Awarded to an officer who truly displays his abilities to command in the field or during peace. The physical award are two golden clasps formed in the image of dragons, breathing fire towards each other. The fire then interlocks locking the clasp in place. The clasp can be attached to a cloak or a belt. The dragon is a reminder of the officer’s service to the Horen line and the Kingdom of Marna. VENERABLE FATHER - For the veteran. This merit is awarded to the volunteer who has served in the Free Company for ten whole years and has no infractions to their name. The decoration is a wreath made of silver. It can be worn during military parades and public events, but not during duty. RED DRAGON - For the honorable. The Red Dragon award is one of the most prestigious awards, as it honors one with knighthood, derived from the old Imperial Order of the Red Dragon.

Arygon 135 Share Posted January 14, 2018 A young northern man picks up a quill and a jar of ink. He proceeds to seat himself by a desk upon which he places the recently obtained supplies. He pops the cap off the jar and dips the head of the quill inside its contents. The man smirked and took a piece of parchment from a drawer on his right side, placing it on the desk before him. He carefully- and softly touched the parchment with the head of the quill. And began writing...
