Pursuant to the delegations of the esteemed Council of Lords and the honored Annilir of Tor Eldar, the Pale of Aldemar sees fit to dissolve its state-funded, ineffective military force, presently dubbed the Sentinels of Malin. Hence, this martial body is to be dissolved and subsumed by the martial company of the seated and serene House Laraethryn. Under direct command and banner of the incumbent Warden of the Pale, Keledan Laraethryn, the aforementioned company shall effectively be the established militant arm of Tor Eldar and the Pale of Aldemar, subject to the law of its host state and the governing body therein. Effective immediately, this decree entails the legitimacy of the following mandates:

 

The soldierly retinue of the seated and serene House Laraethryn will henceforth be tasked with the protection and enforcement of the law within the jurisdiction of the Pale of Aldemar, wielding the authority necessary as granted unto them by the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar.

 

The soldierly retinue of the seated and serene House Laraethryn will henceforth be tasked with the organization, operation, and maintenance of all martial endeavors undertaken by the Pale of the Aldemar, wielding the authority necessary as granted unto them by the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar.

 

Pursuant to this decree, all Eldari seeking transfer from the dissolved Sentinels of Malin must contact the honored Annilir, Alayris Laraethryn. ((Werew0lf#0506))

 

As decreed by the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar,

Maruthir Keledan Laraethryn, Warden of the Pale of the Aldemar

WARDEN’S NOTICE OF ASSEMBLY: The Eldarhim Ranger Corps

20th of the First Seed, 1773

---

 

Preamble:

 The Eldarhim Ranger Corps, colloquially the Eldarhim, are the militant body of the Pale of Aldemar, operating from within the resplendent city of Tor Eldar. Born of the dissolution of the Sentinels of Malin, the soldierly-company of the Eldarhim is composed of the loyal retainers of the House of Laraethryn and those few sentinels yet eager to spill blood in the defense of their home. Skilled pathfinders and survivalists, the Eldarhim are masters of their domain, having become one with the land and the blades and bows they raise against their enemies. Under direct control of the Warden of the Pale, they are the strong right-arm of the state, tasked with the safekeeping of the Pale and the onerous duty of upholding law.

Section I: INDUCTION

________________________________________________________________________________________

The Eldarhim, funded and maintained by and for the House of Laraethryn, is a force not to be reckoned with. A collective of elves and men under the command of the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar, they are forever expected to endure rigorous training that shall mould them into efficient, ethical soldiers and citizens of Tor Eldar. To climb the rank and file of the Eldarhim, one must first display the discipline necessary to complete the difficult trials that await -- upon completion of said trials, the individual shall be inducted as an oathed ranger of the Eldarhim and be given their ruby brooch of acknowledgement.

Unoathed rangers must work for their uniform, and as trainees, will go through the most basic of training. The initial training will mould their character, instill unto them the respect demanded from soldiers of the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar, and strengthen their skills and qualities, that they might become assets in the line of defense of Tor Eldar and the House of Laraethryn. This training regime will include: expeditions outside of imperial lands, mock skirmishes, monster-hunting, sword mastery, archery training, navigation and mapping skills, and lectures on the history and culture of the Pale of Aldemar.

Section II: OATH

________________________________________________________________________________________

When the time comes that a ranger-captain believes an unoathed ranger has satisfied their training, they will be granted ceremonial audience with the Warden of the Pale so that they might swear themselves unto him and to the fair city they serve. To ascend to the rank and file of the officer corps, a ranger must be referred by an actively serving ranger-captain, who will direct the aspiring officer to the Highguard of the Eldarhim for specialized training and induction.

 

“I, _________, do solemnly swear by the might of Malin and the venerable Warden of the Pale of Aldemar, that I shall bear the weight of the mantle of elvendom and safeguard the legacy of Malin against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I shall have faith in and allegiance to the same; that I will never falter in my duties and obligations as Eldarhim; that I will give my life in exchange for this unity and serenity; and that I will obey the command of the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar and the Highguard appointed to me so that order and justice will forever follow in the wake of the Eldari; this I swear and shall hold to my heart; that which is demanded of me shall be done, from now until the day of my release from this oath.”

Section III: DECORUM

________________________________________________________________________________________

The Eldarhim are expected to maintain a certain standard of excellence during their service under the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar and the House of Laraethryn. In observation of this, the decorum of the Eldharim is strictly drilled. The customs and courtesies displayed in the presence of a superior exemplify gratitude and grant merit to the efficiency and character of the elite company of rangers. This entails rigid professionality, both during and outside of service. Failure to obey the outlined decorum will result in punishment befitting the facetious and immature -- thus, the culture, customs and courtesies expected from the Eldarhim are thoroughly instilled unto them through training and routine.

 

Forms of address:

All Eldarhim are to address their peers by their appropriate title and are expected to show the same respect to one another in and outside of service.

Words of enmity, disrespect, or insubordination are in grave error; even the most senior Eldarhim shall receive severe punishment. All individuals must adhere to the structured decorum below.

• “Karin/Ker’ayla, honored Highguard/Captain” suffices as an appropriate addressal of a commanding officer.
• “Karin/Ker’ayla, Alayris” does not suffice as an appropriate addressal. One must be certain to address an officer by their rank, so as to show respect and acknowledge their authority. 
• “Karin/Ker’ayla, Ranger/Trainee” suffices as an appropriate addressal for any rank beneath the authority of an Eldarhim captain.
• “Mar’karin/ker’ayla, Lord/Lady (surname)” suffices as an appropriate addressal of Eldari councilors and courtiers. When addressing the lords and ladies of Tor Eldar, the intensifier mar- is always added.
• When departing the presence of a superior, Eldarhim must always cite “Lye vira’n adont ito”, which translates from the elven tongue to, “We wait with vigilance.”

 

Uniforms will be provided to each Eldarhim, issued by rank. Each variant of the Eldarhim uniform bears a different stripe upon their cape to signify the rank they bear. Uniforms must be worn at all times -- both while on-duty and when representing the Eldarhim in any capacity.

Section IV: STRUCTURE

Below entails the structure and ranking of the Eldarhim:

________________________________________________________________________________________

Command

Highguard of the Eldarhim: Currently held by the honored Annilir of Tor Eldar, Alayris Laraethryn, the Highguard is appointed by the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar to the Eldarhim as commander of their company. Seated upon the Council of Stewards and privileged by inclusion in the Warden’s court, the Highguard of the Eldarhim is tasked with the administration of the company, strategy, communication with foreign bodies, the establishment training routines, and the general stewardship of Tor Eldar’s military faculties. Excluding direct intervention by the Warden, the Highguard of the Eldarhim is the sole individual responsible for the appointment of officers in the Eldarhim, directing them in matters pertaining to training and special projects. As the highest ranking member of the Eldarhim, the Highguard demands respect and wields great authority.

 

Officer Corps

Ranger-Captain: Upon the recommendation of an existing officer and by the grace of the Highguard, an Eldarhim may undergo training to become an officer themselves. Eldarhim ranger-captains are focal leaders who see to the training of their fellows, maintain quality amongst their peers, and lead rangers in battle, occasionally assisting the Highguard when they see fit to seek insight from their officers. Eldarhim ranger-captains are expected to present excellence, and thus are deserving of the respect of their peers. 

 

Ranger Corps

Eldarhim Rangers: Rangers are oathed members of the Eldarhim, tasked to serve under the Warden of the Pale of Aldemar to ensure his safety and the safety of those that please him. Their duties also include maintaining the justice of Tor Eldar’s codex and the imperial law that is subjected upon the Pale. Rangers are empowered to conduct lawful arrests, disperse crowds, use lethal force in the defense of Tor Eldar, and investigate crime.

 

Eldarhim Grunts: Eldarhim grunts, also called trainees, are members of the Eldarhim who have joined fresh off the boat. They are unoathed and have yet to be provided the suitable uniform of a ranger. Trainees are expected to live within Tor Eldar for two weeks and undergo training on military law, authority, and the cultures of both House Laraethryn and the Pale of Aldemar. During their training, many skills and qualities will be drawn out from the recruits, before they are oathed as true rangers. Grunts do not have any power outside of training unless specifically granted to them by a superior, limited to the singular task they are commanded to fulfill.
