Optimus420 1732 Share Posted September 3, 2022 THE VELEN COMPANY Established 3rd of the Tobias' Bounty, 1888 MISSION The Velen Company is an organization of veteran soldiers and scholars from throughout the realm who have been cast aside by society and or otherwise forgotten by those whom they served. These men and women who served felt without purpose, without guidance other than faith. It was with their faith that led them to Leopold Ulrich von Reuss, an Aeldenic Mercenary wishing to establish a group of men and women from pious stock that seek to do good and serve the people around them. It is from his following that these pious men and women serve anyone the Company deems necessary. PAYMENT The Velen Company will house, feed, and equip its members based on their rank regardless of birth or social standing. Monetary payments of members of the company are handled by the Baron and his Duma, these payments are often through special merits, awards, as well as proper cuts from contracts. These merits and rewards act as the base form of payment for members of the company as contracts vary in price. Spoiler ((OOC: Only those of the Company will receive the list of merits and rewards)) CHAIN OF COMMAND UNOATHED Camp-Follower Those who are wishing to enlist in the company or who serve in non-combatant roles for the company are assigned the rank of Camp-Follower. Their responsibilities vary from medical care, smiths, cooks, and so on. They can be identified with a simple armband or pendant showing their loyalty to the company. Initiate Those who have stepped forth and begun the martial path of the company, they are assigned the rank of initiate as they have yet to be properly trained nor spoken the Oath of a Companyman. MEN-AT-ARMS Armsman Those who have completed their training and taken the oath to become a fully fledged member of the company. They make up a majority of the Company’s men-at-arms. They are entitled to compensation from contracts and are given proper equipment to arm and defend themselves. Vanguard The skilled veterans of the company who have been bled and are battle hardened. They act as mentors to the initiates aiding in their training to ensure they uphold the standards of the company. While on the field of battle, these men lead the charge and are the first wave into the fray. Sergeant Sergeants act as noncommissioned officers of the company and are veteran members of the company. They are given plate armor seeing as they act as the heavy infantry component for the company. These men are often given special contracts to guard and protect assets. OFFICER Armiger Armigers act as junior officers of the company’s chain of command. They are tasked with leading groups of soldiers of the company during contracts. The Armigers during off-times train initiates alongside their subordinates. Campmaster The Campmaster is the senior officer and the direct subordinate of the Baron. He has proved himself through loyal and dedicated service to the company, and the Baron himself. He is a skilled leader and masterful tactician. He is the second in command of the Company and is directed to find contracts and send them to the Baron for approval. The Baron The Baron of Velen is the head and proprietor of the company. He holds ultimate authority over its ventures while also hosting the company within his lands. The Baron holds final say over possible contracts of the company. ORDER OF SCHOLARS The Order of Scholars is the second path that those can take within the company, it is composed of alchemists, apprentices, adventurers, and so on. They can be told apart from their martial counterparts via their lack of armor. It follows a similar ranking structure to the martial path however with few minor differences. These men and women of the company are devout believers of the faith and seek to study and explore all there is to know in this world. They believe it best to know one’s enemy so that we may better understand it before it is slain. RANKS Initiate Those who have stepped forth and begun the path of the scholar, they are assigned the rank of initiate as they have yet to be properly trained nor spoken the Oath of a Companyman. Neophyte Those who have taken their oath to the Company and Baron. It is from here that a Neophyte may begin their path of knowledge and exploration. A Neophyte will be assigned to a Scholar so they may be further educated and accompany their mentors on assignments. Scholar After a Neophyte publishes their first work and study and has been approved by their mentor, they will be assigned the rank of Scholar. This name can have many different names however depending on which field they choose to study further. Scholar-Adeptus Those who have served in the Company for some time and have stocked the shelves full of their findings and discoveries are known as Scholar-Adeptus or a title befitting their field. They are veteran members of the company and wise people to study under. It is they who oversee the education and Oathing of Initiates. CONTRACTS Escorts Escort Contracts encompass VIP protection, Asset protection, Caravan Guards, Pilgrim protection, and so on. These contracts vary in price and time frames - all to be discussed between Campmaster and the Baron. Logistics Logistics Contracts encompass a few fields, mainly along the lines of production of weapons, armor, and supplies. However it is extended to the construction of offensive and defensive buildings and or fortifications. Auxiliaries Auxiliary Contracts is for those who are in need to hire extra swords, peacekeepers, or reservist forces. The company will act within its own bylaws as well as the employers to ensure the utmost effectiveness is in place. These contracts being the most time consuming, it is expected the employer supplies any extra equipment needed and to house the company to some extent. Search & Destroy Search & Destroy contracts are strictly to find and destroy any form of beast or any form of monster that plagues one’s land. The Company does not conduct assassinations against fellow members of the faith unless they are a well-known and proven heretic. Exploration Exploration contracts are often organized by the Baron and Company itself, however the company does extend its services via the Order of Scholars to aid in any form of exploration, discovery, or sites that require aid for further researching purposes. RECRUITMENT Any able bodied man or woman of the faith that wishes to do more with their lives are welcome to join up and enlist with the company.
