The Normandorian Sentinels (Malinorian Guard) Updated

[Ithil 14]

The Normandorian Sentinels is the grand fighting force residing within the Malinorian Captial of Normandor. It is destined to be one of the greatest and most effective fighting forces in Asulon. Not only will you have the duty to protect the Capital from aggressors you will also be included in the Malinorian Army and form a crucial role within that force. There are great riches to be made, you will be given the opportunity to take part in key military manoeuvres and prove yourself as a hero of Malinor. Do you have what it takes?

You enter a tavern, as you approach the bar you feel a chill, you are being watched…You notice a shadowed figure in the corner of the room. He beckons you over to take a seat. “I am a Sentinel of Normandor, you look like a gifted warrior. The Elder City of Normandor could use a skilled soldier like you.” He explains who the Sentinels are over a tankard of Dwarfen Ale. The Sentinels of Normandor protect the sacred Elder tree from all whom would challenge her. They are charged with the defence of the Malinorian Captial and will defend all of Malinor in times of war! The Great Tree City of Normandor is a bastion of Elvish strength but we welcome all who will swear the great oath. As brothers in arms we strive to ensure the security and prosperity of our city and of Malinor. Harbingers of death to all who would oppose Her, paragons of justice to all who defy Her, protector of Her sanctity. A life of the Sentinels is difficult, yet rewarding. Normandor is one of the finest cities in Asulon, it is a great honour to serve here. You can expect regular payment, equipment, awards and training. EVERY member has started as a Warden and proven themselves worthy of hirer title. At the end of the conversation the Sentinel hands you a book. You read what appears to be the Oath of the Sentienl. Below it you see signatures of the protectors of Normandor. Will you sign?

They can expect huge reward and privilege but have expectations to match. Sentinels will have their own Quarters. They have a large amount of responsibilities from training to fighting. They will each have their own Guardian and oversee two Initiates, acting as their squires. They will perform advanced Guard actions as well as other tasks which will be discussed on acceptance into the Sentinels….some duties are best kept secret.

Do you meet the basic recruit requirements?: Yes

What can you contribute to the Guard of Normandor?

"I am skilled with a blade, and when it comes to a bow, I never miss my mark. I can follow orders. I can lead troops into battle. I am a weapon."

Armored persons approach our gates, they are open. You don’t know why they are here. What do you do?

"I would place a hand on my sword hilt and ask them what their buisness in Normandor was. Should they act threateningly, I would call for backup, unsheathe my sword, and begin dispatching them."

Where do you wish to progress in the Guard?

"I was once of very high standing in the New Alstion Guard- General of their forces. I seek to prove myself worthy of such rank once again."

After a quick glance at the pages of the book, running through the words of the oath in her head, Keziah looked up and held the Sentinel's gaze with her own. Raising her right hand, she recited the oath back to him. "I swear to abide by all the rules of Normandor and the Kingdom of Malinor. I swear to uphold the peace, justice and sanctity of the Elder Tree. I swear not to abuse my powers, to assist my brothers in arms and to conduct myself professionally. I swear to follow the chain of command and strive to prove myself to them. As brothers in arms we strive to ensure the security and prosperity of our city. Harbingers of death to all who would oppose Her, paragons of justice to all who defy Her, protector of Her sanctity." She ended with a neat salute and in a graceful, fluid motion plucked the quill from the table and signed her name into the book using her clean, utilitarian script.

-I swear to abide by all the rules of Normandor and the Kingdom of Malinor.

-I swear to uphold the peace, justice and sanctity of the Elder Tree.

-I swear not to abuse my powers, to assist my brothers in arms and to conduct myself professionally.

-I swear to follow the chain of command and strive to prove myself to them.
