The Order of the Greymist

 

 

 

Zealous warriors devoted to their people and their ancestors, the Order was created to ensure the strength and longevity of the Adunian people. Tossing aside traditional notions of chivalry, these knights care little for honor, courtesy, and charity. Instead those of the Greymist view most as morally ambiguous, believing that all choices are guided by selfishness and self-preservation. Reliance on others and on borrowed power is a weakness that will inevitably lead to an individual's demise. Only through one's own strength and competency can greatness truly be achieved, and through greatness, the Adunians can once again be brought to glory.

      I. Grey Knight Commander

Leader of the Order, tasked with organizing the broader goals and purposes of the Order. They will lead the important meetings and decisions within the Order with the aid of their council. Has the ultimate say in all decisions of the Order, including membership.

 

      II. Greymist Champion

Those who have proved themself most in their service as a Knight. They serve as council to the Grey Knight Commander, often acting as the mentors to Aspirants and Squires.

 

      III.  Mistguard

Those who have proven themselves and have achieved Knighthood. The Mistguard answers to the Greymist Champions and the Grey Knight Commander performing any tasks of the Order. Mistguard members will be expected to learn alchemy. 

 

      IV. Aspirant

Those seeking Knightship within the Order. Their mentor will assign their duties and obligations. 

 

      V. Squire

Young Adunians who wish to walk the path of the Greymist. Similar to Aspirants, they will be assigned to a Knight who shall mentor them until they come of age.

 

Ascension to Knightship  

 

         Initiation: 

Those seeking to join the Order of the Greymist must seek out a Grey Knight Commander. The Grey Knight Commander will access the strength and ability of the individual through a duel. Depending on the result, the Grey Knight Commander will accept or deny the individual as an Aspirant of the Order. They will be required to swear an oath to their people and ancestors before beginning their journey to knightdom.

 

         Training:

At its core, the Order is structured on strength and self-motivation. Aspiring knights will be assigned to a Grey Knight Commander or Greymist Champion who will oversee and direct an individual's training. Those in charge have the discretion to remove the Aspirant from the Order at any time if they find fitting. Once the overseeing knight determines that the Aspirant’s mind and body are ready, they can begin the final step towards the Mistguard.

 

       Rite of the Greymist

 A secret ritual known only by those who have experienced it. The Rite will challenge the Aspirant’s mind and body as they traverse the mists of life, death, and reality itself. Those who make it through this trial shall rise to the ranking of the Mistguard and will receive a unique moniker. 

Squireship

 

Squireships can begin at the age of  12, where they are assigned to a willing knight. Shadowing the  Knight for the years to come, they will train in combat, medicine, and other relevant skills. The Knight will be responsible for administering the Squireship tasks and chores. Upon reaching the age of 16, the mentoring Knight has the discretion to move the Squire into the Rite of the Greymist where they will take their oaths and ascend to Knighthood. If the mentor finds the Squire is not ready, they may deem it necessary for the Squire to go through the entire process as an Aspirant.

The Chapter Master, and current Prophet of the Oaks, gave a warm smile upon hearing such news. For his ideals lived on within those few that had listened to the truth.

The Thuri-Elendil would let a smile spread across her face as she read the missive. Perhaps proud of her husbands success as she went to greet and converse with the man. Her twin toddlers waddling shortly behind.
