The Okartennallar

Defenders of Amathine

Purpose

Along the coast of Aevos within the jungle rests the Crown of Amathine. Proudly overlooking the ocean lies the city of Aianëar, a place of peace and tranquility for mali and any other descendents who make it their homes. However, there is no true peace in the world and the continent is crawling with threats of many kinds. To maintain the peace within the lands the Okartennallar have risen their blades to safeguard the lands and seas that surround Amathine.

I raise my blade against any threat

To protect our lands and our coasts

To defend our crown

I give my life to her

My blood will dry for her

Uell Ito Maruthiran

- The oath of the Okartennallar

Code of Conduct

1. As a member of the Okartennallar, all members are required to hold themselves to a high standard. They must raise their swords in defense of the people they serve and never surrender unless necessary.

2. All Okartennallar must treat all Amathine Citizens with respect as well as her allies.

3. Okartennallar members fight for the crown's land and must be willing to give their lives to defend the citizens of Amathine. If acts of violence towards the innocent and unarmed are revealed, they must be reported to an Exarch.

4. Okartennallar must be impartial to members and civilians no matter the race, religion, culture, or gender of the person.

5. Okartennallar must hold the law above all else as they are to execute these laws.

In a situation where these codes are broken, a member of the Okartennallar may be subject to Court Martial and/or demotion from position or military as a whole. All regulations will follow Article 1 of the Legal Procedure within the Amaethine Law Codex, but punishments can be much harsher than civilian punishments.

Ranks of the Okartennallar

Lord/Lady Commander

Defender of the Crown

All branches of the Okartennallar will have a commander from which the rest take orders and the Commander is a member of the Royal Council. These leaders report directly to the Royarch and are otherwise seen as the best among their comrades. They are the people who have served the longest and garnered the most decoration. They stand at the forefront of their lines and lead their people both in battle and in training.

Immortal

Pride of the Crown

The Immortals are bound to serve the crown and protect it, both from those who may be tyrants, and those who would seek to cause the Crown harm. Though their wide-ranging functions include serving as warriors, scouts, researchers, and teachers of history of the Mali, they may be more directly considered the backbone and guiding light of the Mali of Amathine. The Immortals will be a limited group, the best of all the Okartennallar. The Commander of the Okartennallar will initiate a nominated member into the Immortals through ritual.

- The Immortals are men and women who have come from the other branches and have proved to be the greatest warriors among their peers. They have the trust of the crown and are seen to be those responsible for the Amathine motto, “Uell Ito Maruthiran” - Death to Tyrants.

- This includes organizing and categorizing books and artifacts in the library, museum, and vault, researching items in the vault, teaching civilians about their history, guiding order members to information or artifacts they need, and keeping up on safe containment protocols for any items of power held in the vault.

Tireveri

Leaders of the Stagblades.

Officers of the Okartennallar. This rank is reserved for those who stand out amongst their peers and show true leadership abilities. Working with others, they will be responsible for certain tasks ranging from managing the armoury to training the newer recruits. There can be up to 2 Tireveri per branch of the Okartennallar, and an Immortal can no longer be a Tireveri once selected as an Immortal, though there can be an officer of the Immortals if deemed necessary.

Ame’avern

Wanderers of the Forests.

A newer and specialized unit within the bounds of the Okartennallar. These are men and women who adhere to the beliefs of the Mali‘ame and Almenodrim, and in doing so seek out knowledge and artifacts around the globe, going out of their way to protect them. They are the keepers of the special library and sworn defenders of the items they have chosen to protect.

- The Ame’avern will protect the shores of Amathine and often sail out to sea to explore and defend the balance of nature where they can. They are well-trained Rangers/Sailors and live exploratory lives to find knowledge and protect it.

- They focus on traveling the continent, mapping as they go, and noting down areas of interest such as ruins, caves, tombs, covens, and the like, to study later. They are expedition leaders and will also focus on the acquisition of artifacts, books, and knowledge.

Evari’ii

The Protectors

Run-of-the-mill guards who find themselves responsible for the day-to-day tasks of the military and upholding the city’s laws. Gate duty, patrols, combat medics, and escort missions are regular daily tasks for these soldiers.

- Each Warden is provided with a Tome of Order which holds inside all of the laws of the land and the punishments that can be appropriately given based on the spot if required. Greater cases require the Wardens to detain and hold a prisoner until a Trial can take place, presided over by either the High Prince/Princess, Lady/Lord Exarch, or their Lord/Lady Commander.

- The guards will go through the city and surrounding area patrolling and surveying the lands to make sure that they can maintain a strong presence. These patrols will also serve as a means for them to stay in touch with the community and be able to intervene in any crimes they may come across.

Stagblade

Upholders of the Oath

The basic soldiers of the Okartennallar. They have taken the oath and continue to focus on developing their skills. Once they are deemed worthy by an officer or the commander they will be offered the opportunity to become either a Evari’ii or Ame’avern.

Initiate

Aspirant soldiers

The rank for any aspiring to become a member of the Okartennallar, they will be expected to learn the duties that would be expected of them as well as basic combat skills. Once they feel they are ready they will be oathed in under the Lord/Lady Commander or any Tireveri.
