Halt 1338 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Courtesy: @Jaelon THE ORDER OF EXALTED GODFREY THE REDEEMER 5th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1887 Genesis The Order of Ex. Godfrey the Redeemer was founded by Lucian of Aeldin, a hedge knight who traveled to the shores of Almaris in the Holy Orenian Empire. Driven by the goal of establishing a foothold of his own and surrounding himself with like-minded individuals, Lucian traveled the countryside. He sought companionship amongst all walks of society, so long as they shared his moral values. Pious knights, merchants, and assorted peasantry without homes flocked to his cause; all were welcome within the halls of Mersten. The Apotheosis of Godfrey It is the doctrines of the Exalted Godfrey that served as the muse to generations of Humanity’s foremost scholars, warriors, and politicians. Upon reaping the rewards of his generous conquest of the known world, Godfrey’s Holy Orenian Empire would become the first in a long line of dominant human superpowers to impose its authority over the planet. Roads were constructed, feudal systems codified, and great walls were established throughout the nation. The strongest militaries in the world, such as the White Rose, House Flay, and the Teutonic Order, paid homage to the magnanimous conqueror whose ambition was as boundless as his piety and honesty. Ideals and Goals Whilst no man is perfect, Lucian found much to admire and mimic in the paths of those that came before him. A shared doctrine of discipline and honor laid the foundations for his brotherhood. It was not enough to simply claim allegiance to these ideals, but to exemplify them in all respects in your daily life. The Order exists to provide a home to those willing to set aside the pettiness of their normal lives and seek to embody these virtues. Many who approach the group find themselves unable to meet the stringent requirements. The Order is not explicitly dedicated to only martial respects. It is expected for all knights to become well-rounded individuals in all respects. Lessons on literacy and various crafts are not uncommon within the walls, and members are encouraged to live a multi-faceted and rich life. Tenets Skilled in diplomacy and combat, a knight of the Order serves as an official representative of Mersten in other lands. Though he uses force when necessary to achieve his goals, he prefers compromise to hostility. He seeks friendly alliances with good-aligned governments, common ground with neutral societies, and a quick and efficient end to evil. A knight should be the voice of reason, hesitant to engage in drawn-out, bloody encounters before exploring less extreme options. A knight should always aid a fellow brother with just cause. A knight should not loft his rank above his fellow man. All men are equal before GOD. A knight reinforces the ideals of the order by acknowledging the good deeds of ordinary citizens and expressing his appreciation in private meetings or public ceremonies. A knight should be learned in matters both scholarly and martial. Iconography Knights of the Order typically find themselves draped in the Mersten colors of purple and white. Being composed of various backgrounds, the garb is usually standardized in make and supplied to recruits of the Order. This uniform serves as a reminder that although one may hold rank and title outside of Mersten’s walls, there is a hierarchy to be observed within. One that is based on merit and ability rather than purely birth. Ranking and Recruitment Grandmaster Seneschal Knight Commander Knight Captain Knight Squire Page Those seeking recruitment into the Order are first interviewed to ascertain their intentions and if they possess the strength of character requested by the order. Should they not prove lacking, they are taken on as a Page. They will spend this time working on proving to the Order their conviction and aspiring to ascend to the rank of Squire. Once a Squire, one serves at the side of a Knight of the Order. They accompany them through battle and also assist in their daily affairs. Eventually, once a Knight has deemed his Squire worthy, he grants him a quest to complete. Each quest is unique to the Knight and varies greatly. Once said quest has been completed and the proof has been provided, the Squire is presented to the Grandmaster to rise as a Knight of the Order.
