Duties & Tenets

The Ashguard was created to uphold the peace throughout the territories of Norland. When a new blood ushers the Ashen Oath, they swear their sword to the Kingdom of Norland and House Ruric. Of which this oath cannot be broken unless given permission by a Ruric to leave. If a soldier leaves without permission they will be deemed as a deserter, and will be hunted down. The Ashguard hold Six Tenets of which are to be upheld by all members. If a member of the Ashguard fails to follow such tenets then they’ll be court martialed.

 

TENET I

To not harm or steal from another member of the Ashguard.

 

Spoiler

If a member harms or steals from another member, then they will be punished. The punishment differentiate from the extremity of the action. If one merely punched another member then a flogging would be issued. If another soldier murdered one another then execution will be the punishment.

 

TENET II

To not harm or steal from the Norlandic peoples.

 

Spoiler

Theft is Illegal in Norland, wearing the black and red of house Ruric doesn’t give you any right of theft. If a soldier is caught stealing from the people of Norland then they’ll be trialed for their offense.

 

TENET III

Adhere to the chain of command, and follow orders from your superiors.

 

Spoiler

Soldiers of the Ashguard must listen to their superiors. If a soldier refuses to follow orders then it’ll count as insubordination, and a soldier will be severely punished. To avoid this, you must listen to the orders of the officers even if you disagree with them. If you feel the orders given go against the Tenents then feel free to report it to the Marshall.

 

TENET IV

To keep a level head and remain in line.

 

Spoiler

Don’t be a complete fool, when you put on the black and red you represent not only The Ashguard but Norland and house Ruric. Your job is to keep the peace, not to disturb it. Actions that taint the nation of Norland, and the house of Ruric will be met with punishment. The severity depending on the damage done.

 

TENET V

To fulfill your duties until you are either honorably or dishonorably discharged from the Ashguard.

 

Spoiler

Don’t leave the Ashguard till your honorably or dishonorably discharged. Being conscripted into the Ashguard means you have agreed to be, and have sworn yourself to the nation of Norland until you are given permission to leave. We will not hold you against your will, but if you desert the Ashguard then you consent to PK.

 

TENET VI

To rise to the aid of the Norlandic peoples should a threat be identified.

 

Spoiler

The purpose of the Ashguard is to bring, uphold, and maintain peace and order in the Kingdom of Norland by protecting it from outside invaders. When Norland is at war, you are the first to come to it’s aid and protect it.
