mika1278 2674 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The Order of The Lubba Founded Year 77 of the second age Spoiler Through many wars we have fought and seen many men and women fight for what they believe in, though mostly as a settlement consisting of mercenaries it is seen that there is a yearning for stability. A stability in forces at the Keep and other holdings under The Silver Lubba where coin will no longer dictate our capability to fight and have blades pledged to fight for our allies. CODE OF THE LUBBA KNIGHTS Seek honor among Lubba Knights and members of The Order of The Lubba at all times, for our honor is what we have. To uphold this honor a chivalric code has been established: I SERVE THE SILVER LUBBA IN VALOR II PROTECT THE WEAK AND DEFENSELESS III GUARD YOUR COMPATRIOT THEIR HONOR IV NEVER REFUSE A HONOR DUEL VGRANT RESPECT IN HUMILITY VINEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO OPPONENTS VIIFEAR NO MAN, CREATURE OR CONSTRUCT VII SEEK NO REWARD BEYOND DUTYIX SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THAT IS DARK AND EVILX RIGHTEOUS YOU WILL STAND A Lubba Knight commanding a small battalion of Man-At-Arms STRUCTURE OF THE ORDER THE SILVER LUBBAThe Silver Lubba is the leader of this order on a personal level, ensuring everyone is treated right and sometimes even personally sparring with these knights to keep his combative prowess in check. The Silver Lubba is the only one who can grant one to progress through the chain of command of The Lubba Knights and is seen wandering with at least one Lubba Knight at his side when leaving his holdings.SILVER LUBBA KNIGHTSilver Lubba Knights are The Silver Lubba’s closest line of protection, the final line between those who wish harm upon the wellbeing of the band and The Silver Lubba themself. These members are devoted to their cause to be the greatest warriors the realm has seen and will go through great lengths to prove such. These individuals are often granted titles beyond their occupation and are given a chance to rule a charter of land or outpost within The Silver Lubba’s territory with the blessing of virtuous work to get to that point. These members of The Order Of The Lubba are the voice and acting body of The Silver Lubba.LUBBA KNIGHTThe Lubba Knights have gone through vigorous training and have proven themselves to be knighted by The Silver Lubba themself from their Man-At-Arms stage where they had proven themselves to be most capable of combat, teamwork and upholding honor. Lubba Knights are granted the same level of authority as an eternal and captain in their respective divisions of The Silver Lubba Band during times of conflict. Granted upon reaching knighthood is the choice of wishing to continue further to a Silver Lubba Knight or to stay as Lubba Knight and claiming your title as Eternal Defender of the band with a chance at being granted a small plot of land for them and their family to thrive.MAN-AT-ARMSMen-At-Arms are those who have exceeded their Squire stage and with The Silver Lubba’s Blessing made it as a renowned warrior in the chivalric endeavor to climb the chains of command to become a Lubba Knight. Not many pass the trials that are posed as a Man-At-Arms, acting as both Warrior and guard for The Silver Lubba with quests and trials handed out by the upper chains which ultimately need to be completed by these members to prove their worth and devotion to the cause. At this stage, the Men-At-Arms no longer are up for hire as mercenaries and are only sent out to allies of the band to solve dire situations.SQUIRE Freshly picked out of the other divisions of The Silver Lubba Band, these individuals have been granted a chance to join The Order Of The Lubba and take their opportunity as Squire after being sworn to the Silver Lubba. Squires within The Order Of The Lubba are often seen a bit differently as they have already had experience in the other divisions of The Silver Lubba Band beforehand, they aid a chosen Man-At-Arms or Lubba Knight who will teach them the ways of upholding honor and chivalry among descendants. Squires will be sufficiently equipped with excellent armor from the workforce and their prefered weapon and supplied to aid their superior as well as they can. These Squires are trained endlessly and taught all the necessary knowledge to prove useful in any situation. Once their superior has established the Squire sufficient for promotion after years of tirelessly working, The Silver Lubba will personally evaluate the Squire to give judgment. A Lubba Knight standing firm before a holding of The Silver Lubba TRIALS OF THE LUBBA To progress through the ranks of The Order of The Lubba one must complete these trials and gain the favor of The Silver Lubba. To prove their worth to the order, they will be tested through the trials at hand as notable figures or previous Lubba Knights have done. For a Squire to progress to a Man-At-Arms, they must complete five of these trials in addition to gaining The Silver Lubba’s Favor.For a Man-At-Arms to progress to a Lubba Knight they must complete ten of these trials in addition to gaining The Silver Lubba’s Favor.For a Lubba Knight to progress to a Silver Lubba Knight then all trials must be completed with the blessing of The Silver Lubba. THE TRIAL OF JON THE ETERNAL | TRIAL OF ENDURANCE Jon the Eternal simply is, always present and exploring the realms to seek for new possibilities to solve issues. To complete this trial one must make the laborious trek across the realm as they are set out to complete a challenging and lengthy task presented by The Silver Lubba to aid within their holdings. THE TRIAL OF JAMES THE LOYAL | TRIAL OF LOYALTY James the Loyal stood firm alongside every Sutican monarch and leader in the past and earned their knighthood through endless service to Sutica regardless of who he served. For this trial one will be sent out to serve another leader in a temporary fashion for four years without faltering in loyalty to The Silver Lubba. THE TRIAL OF DOMONIC THE SHIELD | TRIAL OF COURAGE Domonic the Shield always stood firm in defense of the city and nation of Sutica, never giving up on a fight and always seeing it through regardless if such was the right thing to do or not. For the trial at hand one must protect a citizen of any nation or settlement from harm. THE TRIAL OF SARRION THE STARCALLER | TRIAL OF POWER Sarrion the Starcaller, as one of the later additions to the Lubba Knights during the Sutican era had shown immense power to the rest of the realm, efficiently and effectively they took care of many situations within the realm. Completion of the trial requires one to head out to seek an opponent magnitudes stronger than oneself and defeat them. THE TRIAL OF AMELIA THE BRAVE | TRIAL OF WILL Amelia The Brave was armless and one of the few warriors sent out to fight a war that was not ours and came out victorious with plenty of spoils and inflicted casualties under their belt for our allies. To complete this trial one must participate in a war for The Silver Lubba’s allies and come out victorious regardless of the circumstances surrounding said conflict. THE TRIAL OF MIKA THE RESOURCEFUL | TRIAL OF WIT Mika the Resourceful was bestowed his moniker through intense labor and mercantile endeavors. Healways seemed to have a better deal than somebody else and fueled the treasury through these practices, though that ended up not being the only part as in battle they commanded as effectively with what they had as possible. This is the only trial split in two parts, the first part of such being to acquire a set out sum of mina through whatever means as long approved by The Silver Lubba. The second part being to defeat a Lubba Knight in combat. THE TRIAL OF LILY OF THE WHISPERING ISLES | TRIAL OF LEADERSHIP Lily of The Whispering Isles was one of the longest ruling monarchs and found many new systems, groups and ways for the Old-Suticans to thrive in their realm. The Trial of Leadership is created in their honor to lessen the burden of all leaders and prepare one for ascending to Lubba Knight. The Trial of Leadership is completed upon successfully leading, this may be done with permission of The Silver Lubba to aid in leading a group of men and women either into battle or to complete a mission. THE TRIAL OF UTARIA THE SCHOLAR | TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE Utaria the Scholar maintained and gathered knowledge for the Sutican Library during its existence, ensuring knowledge was available to everyone in the realm and collected to add to the library. This trial requires one to collect knowledge that is deemed rare among the holdings of The Silver Lubba and approved by The Silver Lubba for completion. THE TRIAL OF CORWIN THE RIGHTEOUS | TRIAL OF JUDGMENT Corwin the Righteous led a lengthy life, a large part of it he served as knight under another kingdom and eventually became King of Sutica, firm in their beliefs they were challenged by an unwilling council. To complete this trial one must seek one that impairs to berate, insult and threaten the trialed while the trialed will stand righteous and tall among this period of time. THE TRIAL OF TERR’HI THE CROOKED | TRIAL OF BALANCE Terr’hi the Crooked once stood as patriarch of Uialbens within the realm, chaotic in nature they went through life as murderer, trickster, though also as defender of the realm when nobody else could bring thesmelves to do so. Seek the bit of chaos within yourself and start the journey of making such considerably less than it was before THE TRIAL OF THE SILVER LUBBA | TRIAL OF PERSISTENCE The Silver Lubba has gone through great lengths to keep their band afloat and to innovate new ways to maintain and grow throughout their life. Either through battle or actions they prove that persisting through anything is possible. Completion of this trial will be determined through a personal challenge posed by The Silver Lubba where one will not give up or otherwise fail. THE TRIAL OF THE CATACOMBS KNIGHTS | TRIAL OF SURVIVAL With limited resources The Order of The Catacombs was founded under Sutica’s Banner by Mika Uialben, starting out underground with little food and no formal backing at the start. Survive within the wilds of the realm for a year's time without aid from the civilized world. THE TRIAL OF THE BLUE LADYBUG | TRIAL OF THE HUNT The blue ladybug stands firm among Old-Sutican settlements although they were always hard to find elsewhere. Seek out a blue ladybug outside of Old-Sutican Realms and holdings then capture them alive. THE TRIAL OF THE DRAKE ISLES | TRIAL OF THE WARRIOR Sutica once stood firm on the Drake Isles, though certainly not without a challenge; fights and skirmishes were a common occurrence in the city and between groups and citizens of the state. Thus this trial is to prove your worth in combat by challenging three warriors, guards or knights of each independent realm to a honor duel and coming out victorious. THE TRIAL OF THE CREATOR | TRIAL OF INSPIRATION The Creator created all that is and was, though descendants have used such creations to make their own throughout their lives. Prove yourself worthy of the realm by creating a personal artifact for yourself, your family or your dynasty. A squire on their trials trekking through the mountains DUBBING The progress of being elevated from a Man-At-Arms to a full Lubba Knight within The Order of The Lubba is a ceremonious occasion for everyone involved. The fresh Lubba Knight will have gained their moniker through this ceremony, with all the members of The Silver Lubba Band gathered around. ACQUIRING A MONIKER A moniker is gained through the actions one has made through their ascension to Lubba Knight. Monikers stick around through the entirety of knighthood and sometimes beyond if they deem such is wanted.

Morigung-oog 2303 Share Posted June 4, 2022 "Lubba Lubba dub-dubs!" The elfess cheered from her tower, drumming a little tune on her mace. She'd decided knighthood and any form of honor wasn't for her, but the trial still intrigued her. Perhaps she'd undergo one purely for fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
