CHAPTER I

 

FROM SONS OF PAGANS, TO WARRIORS OF GOD

The founding members of the Friedrichian band, including Hannes Steelguard, trace their roots back to the continent of Almaris. Their ancestors were soldiers of fortune in “The Red Company”, fighting all over the continent for whoever paid the most such as the Uruks, Rozanians, Sutica and later Savoy as a vassal. The Red Company and its successors made their mark on the history and continent before its fall to the Mori. The members of said Company were not men of Canon yet they were friendly and once Savoy collapsed they began worshiping a false idol who resided in a lake. The successors of the company tried to keep itself afloat yet struggled, wandering from realm to realm in hopes for a home until the continent fell. Many things have changed since yet some things remain the same. 

 

The descendants of the Red Company now fight under the name of the Friedrichian Band, named after the father of Hannes Steelguard, as they pursue their martial lifestyle like their ancestors but no longer for personal gain or glory but for the glory of the divine. The founding members of the band were raised within canondom and were subjected to the TRUE FAITH and now worship it with zeal and are ready to defend it with their lives. Abiding by the CANON LAW and the word of the exalted and GOD. 

 

Regarding the band, it is not a holy order that is patronized by the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH nor a state but rather it is a knightly order of zealous canonists who wish to defend and fight for their faith. They of course gladly work closely and try to keep good relations with other holy orders of the church to achieve common goals alongside with the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH, yet their methods may differ in some areas.

CHAPTER II

 

TO BE CANONDOM’S SHIELD, TO BE ITS SPEAR

Just as the Exalted Owyn, who went and lived in the den of his enemies to free the faithful and then went to Edel on a lone crusade in penance of the kinslaying of his uncle, so does the Friedrichian Band. They believe in taking after Owyn and living by his example. They believe that instead of waiting for evil to turn good or show itself, it must be sought after, unearthed and purged before it does any harm to the greater world. That is why in the year of 1941 the band called for the faithful to take action against the priest killings in Lurin. That is why they ride out to fight those who make themselves enemies of the HOLY LIGHT OF GOD like they did in 1944 when they rode out to slay Norlanders and wood elves alongside the Uruks. They believe in safeguarding the faith and ensuring the moral wellbeing and safety of those that belong to GOD’s flock, finding themselves offering humanitarian aid whenever they can or when the need rises. 

 

Their mission is of such importance that they are ready to lay down their lives for it, serving on the frontlines against evil with honor and prowess. They are protectors, crusaders fighting evil and the pagan in the name of GOD.

CHAPTER III

 

UPHOLD GOD’S GLORY IN ALL YOUR PARTAKINGS

The comrades of the Friedrichian band uphold a creed. The fundamental belief of this creed is to undertake everything with the goal of upholding the WORD and GLORY OF GOD. From accepting a challenge of combat to doing mundane tasks. To living according to the scrolls and the examples of the Exalted. 

 

There is though a more solid code of conduct which they abide by. Their actions are based off of this most of the time:

 

I. Knight, you are a warrior serving the GLORY OF GOD with Honour and Loyalty

II. Each Knight is your brothers-in-arms whatever his nationality, race or culture may be. You show him the same solidarity that links a family together for we all belong to the family of CANON.

III. Respect for GOD and traditions, devotion to GOD, discipline and comradery are your strengths, courage and loyalty are your virtues.

IV. You are a warrior of GOD. Show this through your always dignified yet modest behavior and through your diligence.

V. The mission is sacred, you carry it out until the end and, if necessary in the field, at the risk of your own life.

VI. In combat, act with righteous passion for our LORD GOD, and never abandon your dead, your wounded, or your arms.

VII. At all times speak the truth. Only the great deceiver IBLEES and DARKSPAWN deal in lies.

VIII. To keep faith. 

IX. Never turn your back on an equal or inferior foe. You are the sword of GOD and you shall cleanse the mortal plain of SIN & VERMIN.

X. Protect the weak and defenseless of CANONDOM. Be their shield and spear by seeking out evil and purging it.
