JoshBright 2104 Share Posted February 11, 2023 ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ With a new age comes new changes. With the ascension of Jarad Munnel to the throne of the Mali’Solarii comes a new age, one where they may rebuild and come together once more. Thus we announce a new knightly order, one to serve Helious. The Order of the Golden Bow shall reform into the Order of the Dawn Blades. ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ ─★─ Knightly Ranks ─★─ Knight Grandmaster The Grandmaster of the order serves as the commander, this rank is most often held by the Prince however it may be delegated if deemed necessary, The Knight grandmaster is responsible for appointing Knight-Sentinels, approving squireships, accepting oaths and general order management. Knight Captain The Capitan is the second in command of the order, often giving it to a trusted member of the order. The captain is responsible for regular checks on the knight, general management of the order and aiding the grandmaster. Knight-Sentinel Knight-Sentinels are senior members of the order, most often responsible for training the squires and may take a squire of their own. Knight Knights are those who have taken their oaths, completed their Trials and Trainings, and been sworn in as a knight of the order by the grandmaster. Squire Squires are new members of the order who have taken their oaths and are the path to knightship. ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ ─★─ Recruitment & Squireing ─★─ The act of taking a squire within the order is done through a normal process, any of those with the rank of Knight-Sentinel may take on a squire of their own or have one assigned to them by the capital or the grandmaster of the order. However should a knight wish to squire someone they must receive permission from the grandmaster in order to do so. ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ ─★─ Trials ─★─ A Squire’s trials are broken down into five separate categories. -The Trial of the Mind- The Trial of the Mind is designed to test the squires endurance, mental fortitude and perseverance. During this trial a squire must not eat or drink anything but water for twenty-four hours, after which they will face off in several back-to-back rounds of sparring with other squires and knights. The Trial is completed once they are able to complete every round of sparing without concededing or being unable to fight. -The Trial of the Sword- The Trail of the Sword is meant to test the metal of the squire forcing them to not only go out and find but slay a form of darkspawn and being back proof of their victory. -The Trial of the Heart- The Trial of the Heart is ment to test one's compassion, for this trial the squire in question must go out and perform five selfless acts in five different nations, gathering the signatures of those they aid. -Trial of the Hunt- The Trial of the Hunt calls back to the roots of the order and its predecessor. During this trial the squire is required to and seek out a large beast, often a morko bear or something of equivalent strength, they must single handedly hunt and kill their prey without outside help and bring back it's hide as proof. -Personalized- After the four primary trials are completed squires are given one or two personalized trials for the squire in order to test them on a deeper level. Often one of these trials requires the squire to forge their own weapon. ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ ─★─ Customs, Addressment & Expectations ─★─ Male knights are referred to with ‘Sel’ as a prefix well Female knights are referred to with a ‘Sul’ as a prefix. Both of which represent the individual as a knightly member of the order. Often upon achieving knighthood a knight will also receive a title related to their trials and how they were faced, along with their attitudes and general actions outside orderly duties and trials. Those within the order have three primary expectations placed upon them, the first of these expectations would be to help the innocent. Should they see someone in trouble the knight is expected to go out of their way in order to aid them. The second expectation is to follow the commands of Grandmaster and the Prince of Helious as is stated in their oaths. The third expectation is to never allow the dark to take hold of themselves, the home of the Mali’solarii or anywhere else possible. They are to never be friends with darkspawn and should they have the chance too, kill or cure them. However this charge is not to be mistaken with foolish behaviours, charging in head first to mortal peril without any hopes of winning. ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ ─★─ The Oath of the Sun ─★─ “I ___ swear under the light of Kair and the Sun to uphold the principles of the order, in the pursuit of truth and justice. I shall uphold my blade in the defense of Helious and the light. I shall abide by the orders of the crown and will never befriend darkspawn.” ★──────────★─────────★──────────★─────────★──────────★ Signed, His Serene Highness, Jarad Munnel, Prince of Helious, Taur and Duke of Alterk, and Lunderia, Margrave of Vali’mae, Count of Voclia, Viscount of Oblen, Baron of Achyae & Sievis, Lord of Sen’nyor, Patriarch of Munnel, Prince of the Mali’Solari Her Serene Highness, Sorise Munnel, Princess of Helious, Tauria and Duchess of Alterk and Lunderia, Margravine of Vali’mae, Countess of Voclia, Viscountess of Oblen, Baroness of Achyae, Floyya & Sievis, Lady of Sen’nyor Matriarch of Munnel Her Highness, Ember Munnel, Crown Princess of Helious, Countess of Yagrasylvvy, Heir to the Munnel Family 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
