Why would you enlist?

 

Enlisting in the legion is the best way of attaining great honour for not only your clan but also yourself, and on top of that you also honour the Brathmordakin (like Dungrimm) by fighting! 

Your actions in battle will truly shape your reputation in Urguan and even better when you attain a certain rank you will find yourself being paid for this too!

 

And ultimately, your kingdom needs you!

Hierarchy

COMMAND

 

GRAND MARSHAL (III)

 

As the commander of the Legion, the Grand Marshal is specially appointed by the Grand King and is the highest position one can attain with the legion, this comes with special duties and privileges.

 

TRIBUNE (II)

 

Executive officer of the Legion, the Tribune is given delegated duties from the Grand Marshal. In the Grand Marshal’s absence, the Tribune takes command of the Legion. 

 

LEGATE (I)

Junior officers of the Legion, they are worthy soldiers who have been promoted from the ranks. Legates are expected to take initiative on organizing events and leading the troops in battle

 

RANK AND FILE

 

PRIDEBEARER (III)

 

Pridebearers are the elite rank attained upon exemplary service; they receive the highest pay in the rank and file and financial exemptions. However, they are expected to take the lead in combat situations and have authority over inferior ranks. Promotion Requirements: 150 Honour, attend 6 Legion practices, 5 Legion events/battles or donate 10 stacks of military resources. 

 

Any old veterans who rejoin the legion will be given the rank of Longbeard which is equivalent to Pridebearer (either 2 stone years of Legion service or an officer or above position within the ranks)

 

IRONGUARD (II)

 

Ironguards are the Legion's regulars; this rank is attained once the oath of loyalty to the Legion is taken. These soldiers are expected to perform most of the day-to-day duties and attend Legion training and combat missions. Promotion Requirements: 50 Honour, attend two Legion practices and either attend a Legion event/battle or donate 2 stacks of military resources. 

 

GRUNT (I)

 

Grunts are the raw recruits in the Legion; once a dwarf completes their enlistment papers, they are immediately granted the rank of Grunt. These soldiers are not accorded the privileges granted to superior ranks (i.e. payment) and have yet to take the oath of loyalty, guaranteeing their place within the Legion.

The Oath

 

This oath is sworn when one attains the rank of Ironguard, it is sworn towards the realm and towards the god, thus breaking it would be of great dishonour, it is sworn in official ceremony and goes as follows:

 

“I swear to Yemekar and the Brathmordakin the following unbreakable oath,

 

That I shall promise to be faithful to the Grand King “Name Here” and shall be so long as he reigns, I pledge my loyalty to Urguan and the Legion. I swear to act without treachery or evil intentions that would dishonour my kin, to uphold the realm's laws and protect the Khazadmar to the death. May Dungrimm hold me to my word.” 

 

This oath can only be broken by being relieved from duty by an active legion officer or the Grand Marshal.
