THE RIVIAN WATCH

The Rivian Watch

Spoiler

 

Iure et dignitate gladii

 

---

Preamble
Following the martial traditions of old the House of Galbraith and its subjects must henceforth rely upon the staunch boisterous drive of the Rivian individual. It is due time for the formation of an official retinue, a force composed of the men who reside in the area that they shall protect, a band of strong Rivians tasked with the duty of defence. The Rivian Watch is the personal retinue of the Lords of Rivia, composed of a combination of Footmen, Longbowmen and Cavalry detachments. The Watch is tasked with the maintenance and policing of the Viscounty of Rivia. A martial profession is hailed as one of the staples of Rivian life and the most noble of tasks, hence why the creation of a retinue was so integral regarding the future of House Galbraith. For the poorer class service is a way to earn a living, for the more gentile it is an opportunity for social mobility.

The Rivian Code

“Viscount Robert dutifully responding to a dwarven incursion circa 1856”

 

The Rivian code is the code by which every man of the Watch must remain stalwart and unyielding in his devotion to, for this is the foundation of their honour. 

I: Serve the liege lord in valour and faith. 
II: Perform scrupulously in thy feudal duties.
III: Do not recoil before thy enemy.
IV: Live by honour and for glory.
V: Obey those placed in authority.

Rank Structure 

“Kaer Coch circa 1856”

 

The Officers

 

Captain
Second only to the Viscount himself the Captain’s duty is to lead the Watch with utmost resolve. The Captain of the Watch is the single most important individual within the rank structure occupied with the near sole leadership of the Watch itself. The Captain oversees the promotion and delegation of tasks within the retinue. 

The Master-At-Arms
Tasked primarily with the command of recruitment efforts, the Master-At-Arms is one of the most essential roles that can be occupied. The Master-At-Arms organises trainings, general events and is responsible for the issuing of punishments ranging from flogging to hanging.  

Centenary 
Largely responsible for command on a day to day basis. The Centenaries are tasked with delegating patrols, events and leading groups of men. The Centenary is the backbone of the Officer corp and consists of some of the best leaders in the Watch. 

 

The Regulars 
 

Sergeant
Seasoned veterans and men of strong stock, The Sergeants are the metaphorical  whip wielded by the Master-At-Arms. They carry out the disciplinary actions most necessary within the Watch. Largely responsible for keeping the men in line and frequently leading small groups of men, the rank of Sergeant is populated by the aspiring leaders within the force. 

Man-At-Arms
The skilled backbone of the Watch,  fulfilling the role of the heavy infantry, skilled bowmen or agile Scout. They are the reliable men in which large amounts of trust is placed into by their commander. 

Footman
The most populated of all the ranks in the Watch, A footman is expected to fulfil his duty to the best of his ability and greatly prove himself to ascend the ranks.

Recruit
Being the fresh recruits to the band, yet to prove themselves they are given the most inexpensive equipment, while Recruits are not paid they are provided with housing and tend to be the most eager to prove their worth in the eyes of their superiors.

Being shown the parchment from Lord Charles of Rivia himself, Leon Barclay would read through the writing, smiling widely in approval as he nodded singularly "Well written, young Lord"

Captain Pisspot bit his lower lip, extending out his right arm.

 

"Sheeeeeesh!" The man remarked in a fervent manner, as he struck two fingers from his left hand against the forearm of his outstretched right.
