The Order of the Prosaic

[Archipelego 2094]

 

Welcome to the Order of the Prosaic
Terram et Pugnus

 

"Where Might Meets The Mundane"

 

The Prosaic Order is a collection of individuals, who have all taken the same creeds and values that they choose to uphold. These are every day individuals, who train in simple and pure ways to become the best at one individual task. Each is skilled in their own way, whether that be in fighting with a shovel, cooking, or shielding others from harm. The Order of the Prosaic welcomes all who choose to become the best versions of themselves, perfect a skill, and follow our beliefs.

Each member of the Prosaic Order is granted a title upon reaching esteemed Erranthood, based on their individual skillset. One versed in fighting with a shovel may be granted the title of Soot Knight, for instance, or Chef Knight if they are a grand chef.

This title is a moniker of respect, establishing their unique and respected position within the Prosaic Order.

The Prosaic Order upholds certain Creeds, beliefs that must be learned and followed if one is to be become an Errant Knight of the Prosaic Order.
  
1 - Do No Evil
The first Creed is to never bring unnecessary grief onto others, and to uphold morality in all things.

 

2 - Defer in Regard
The second Creed is to uphold the respect for your peers in the Order of the Prosaic, and be willing to defer to or cooperate with them in order to achieve your task.

 

3 - Prestige is Honor
The third Creed is to uphold the honor of the Prosaic Order, to proudly be who you are and embody the organization you represent. Do honorable deeds, and represent the Order of the Prosaic well.

 

4 - Perfect Thyself
The fourth Creed is to be the best version of yourself that you can be, and perfect the skill that makes you a member of the Prosaic Order. Whether that's cooking, working with your blade or choice, or anything else. Learn to be who you need to be, and perfect that skill.

To become a member of the Prosaic Order, one must become a Squire under a Knight. This process is individual and personal, and each Knight is encouraged to only have one Squire at a time. Over the course of a few elven weeks, an individual is taught each of the four Creeds, and given a different task or duty in order to show comprehension.

 

Once this criteria has been reached, and the Squire has proved competent at some skill worthy of a title, the Squire can be granted their Knighthood.

The Prosaic Order, in honor of it's homespun roots, do not operate with a ruler. Instead, it is a democratic and freeform organization.

A Knight's Caucus can be called, summoning all available Knights to a meeting place at a specified time. At this Caucus, an Orator is chosen by democratic vote to carry out the majority of the speech and to carry along topics.

 

At the Caucus, any Knight who attends is capable of giving one vote, and all votes are equal. Any decisions that must be made are made this way, in person, and represent the will of the majority.
