A Rekindled Flame

[Pancho 2527]

Brotherhood of the Flame: Order of Thoromir

The few Higherlanders that escaped the Mori’quessar’s wrath in Alisgrad watched as the flames consumed their city. Thoughts on why the All-Father would allow this to happen passed between friends through muffled breaths till one’s voice broke loudest over the murmurs. Eyvind Kvitran II saw how Norland had long since deviated from the old ways, how debauchery and complacency ruled the lives of Highlanders. They had fallen away from the All-Father’s will, that was why they lost. As the refugees limped their way to Savoy, Eyvind gathered up those who would listen and told them of the stories of his youth, of how those truly loyal to the All-Father had once saved Norland from dissolution once, how the All-Father rewarded them with a 100 years of success for their service. Now they would need to prove themselves worthy of his flame again. From those murmured conversations came a resurgent order. The Brotherhood of The Flame dedicated now to Thoromir, for when all was lost, all the few had left was their loyalty to one another.

 

Introduction 

The Brotherhood of The Flame: Order of Thoromir, a successor to the Brotherhood of the Flame: Order of Beowulf, draws heavily on the principles of its predecessor. Much akin to the Order of Beowulf, its main focus lies in venerating the ancient paragons and upholding the tenets of the Red Faith. The Order of Thoromir serves the All-Father directly, owing its allegiance solely to his will.

 

Tenets:

1. “Suffer not the Unworthy.”

2. “I beseech thee, go forth and spread my flame unto the hearts and souls of the blind.”

3. “I say unto thee, of the Holy Fire. You must stand against the Long Dark.”

 

Ranking

Ashbringer: Entrusted with overseeing the entirety of the Brotherhood, the Ashbringer is regarded as the highest commander within the Order. In the event of a former Ashbringer’s passing or abdication, a new Ashbringer is selected through a moot among Veteran members. The goals of the current Brotherhood are shaped by the patron ancestor of the reigning Ashbringer, resulting in the emergence of a new iteration of the Brotherhood with each new Ashbringer. 

 

Veteran: In second command to the Ashbringer, Veterans have demonstrated their prowess in battle and unwavering loyalty to both the Order of the Flame and the All-Father. The privilege of nominating oneself and voting for the rank of Ashbringer is exclusively reserved for Veterans of the Brotherhood.   

 

Hearth-Brother: Hearth-Brothers and Sisters have proved themselves capable and proficient in both prowess and faith. Upon promotion to the rank of Hearth-Brother, the individual will undergo a complete induction into the Order. This involves an official oathing ceremony and receiving a flame branding on the forearm, symbolizing their commitment to the cause.

 

Neophyte: Neophytes, as the newest recruits to the Brotherhood, are yet to prove themselves within its ranks. Their journey towards induction will test aspiring members of the Order in both mental fortitude and physical endurance, to determine whether they possess the necessary qualities of an inducted member.

Okay, but imagine if it was on fire?

The Princess of Norland looked at the missive. 

"Who allowed this? - Did Papa approve of this?"

[Tav 1372]

The other Princess of Norland browsed through the missive. 

"At least . . there's finally an active clergy?"

Hilda Freysson grinned from ear to ear, preparing to spread the missives, or rather, the flame of the All-Father to all infidels.

Elsiimah gazes over the missive that reached him. 

"Leave me now."

The courier leaves the room. The 'ker glances over the parchment briefly.

"Something to do, then. It's been so long."

Levian'Tol Grandaxe stares at the missive for a few moments as doubt crept into his mind, the highlander who came to him for his blessing spoke with such reverence towards the All-Father it reminded him of his own youth and he had given his blessing for them to reform the order before he truly realized the implications. Now only time could tell if he had made a mistake or if his old order would once again bring about a adherance to the tenants he had once held so tightly. Levian'Tol whispered a prayer to the Braths before tucking the missive away.

An old man brushed away the ash that littered his tent and the letter that came with the burnt remains of a town "We dissolved the Purifiers for a reason... so long as they serve... I should speak with the High Keeper upon this."
