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

*The Sentinel asks you questions so he may ponder over your request to join the Guard, he beckons you to keep it brief*

Question 1: What can you contribute to the Guard of Normandor? Invaluable information, a safe haven in the south, my ax Izla Da (which i am very skilled with ((100)), and my goshawk Gildiir who serves as my eyes and ears.

Question 2: Armoured persons approach our gates, they are open. You don’t know why they are here. What do you do? Whistle for some back-up, ask to remove all hoods and helms, then names and business. Dispatch them accordingly (be that in a sack or send them on their way), lock up and man the gate.

Question 3: Where do you wish to progress in the Guard? As a former Sentinel of Aegis I wish to work my way back to that title and then more. I want to become someone who can be sent in as a one man army to gather information and bodies and get out before anyone notices. My only condition as that I am able to work heavily undercover. Becoming an Auxillia ranger would be fine as well.

Do you meet the basic Initiate requirements?: I do meet the requirements.

-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.

Question 1: I have grand leadership skills, all modesty aside. In Aegis, near the town of Haven, was the military base of the UAC. I was a lead commander there. I rose through the ranks fighting over 17 battles. Including the battle of Snowyfield (The battle that lead ultimately to the destruction of the world of Aegis). The UAC was commanded to protect the Ascended. My particular squad, that of Thimble, Twilight, and Blaedr, were particularly to assigned to protect High Sage Arcadeious. I was also being inducted into the Ascended order, but I was never accepted due to the end of the world. To top off my leadership skills, I had plenty of experience in combat. I must have murdered a hundred monsters spawned by the undead. I also hold the deaths of 3 Undead, and one Undead leader. I also have held experience with death of friends. I watched my comrades die in front of me, and also buried them. I watched my brother and wife torn apart by conjured cave spiders right before we were able to board the airships to the New World. I'm sure I can contribute much more than bravery, leadership, and combat skills to this order. I hope this sums up your question rather wholefully.

Question 2: If this question is answered in the thread I apologize for my ignorance. If armored men approached the front gate, I would stop them and ask for their business. If they fail to answer me, I'll call upon my allies and CO's for reasonable answers to this scenario. I would not outright attack them, as that would be a belligerent act, and would be completely uncalled for.

Question 3: I wish to progress high up through the guard. I hope one day to be a commanding officer to the ones under me. I hope to befriend the people within the guard and fling high up through the ranks.

I rather believe that is all, thanks for considering my application, I hope to join this order. I have a very well developed character, and enjoy very much to play this game. Thank you guys.

What can you contribute? I may contribute my sword-fighting skills as well as limited skill in espionage and farming.

Armored persons approach our gates. What do you do? I would make sure the gates are shut, then ask then what they are doing. If hostile, I alert the rest of the guard. If not, I order them to sheath their weapons before entering the city, and I warn them not to draw weapons in the city.

Where do you wish to progress in the guard? I wish to attain as high a rank as I can. This is not just a small thing for me.

[Adidas 3]

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?

Requirements and Equipment:

Initiate: Must be race friendly to the Elves. All must start at Warden level, but more advanced players can expect to pass through this rank quickly. Provided with basic equipment and pay. The Initiate will have basic guard dutys, man the towers, gates and look outs and form interior security roles. They form the third line in all Kingdom war parties. They are mentored individually by a Guardian and Sentinel.

Kingdom patrols and protecting our expeditions into the wilds will be a part of the role. The Guarduians will form the front and second lines in any war party dispatched by Normandor.

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. Every Sentinel is an officer of esteemed rank, and will lead their own section in any war party dispatched by Normandor.

Sentinel Captain:

A truly coveted role, highly prestigious and hugely rewarding. This person must display tremendous leadership. He will be the High Commanders eyes, ears and voice. He will lead the Sentinels in to battle and organise the cohorts in preparation for war. Truly the commander’s right hand man and the most important Sentinel in the army.

Blacksmith: Will be paid a negotiated fee for all repair services. Commission on repairs will also be negotiated.

He will be reimbursed for all supplies.

Magister: An administration role, paid handsomely for his scholarly ability. Will work with the Normandor Librarian and document the activities of the Guard.

Update Notes - 23/02/2012

Added the Captain Structure in line with expanding duties and responisbilities.

Captain of the Realm:

A truly coveted role, highly prestigious and hugely rewarding. This person must display tremendous leadership. He will be the High Commanders eyes, ears and voice. He will lead the Sentinels in to battle and organise the cohorts in preparation for war. Truly the commander’s right hand man and the most important Sentinel in the army. This role is a huge responsibility but hugely rewarding. The eyes of Malinor will be watching you. Do not let the Kingdom or Normandor down!

Captain of the Sentinels:

This Captain is responsible for the command of the Sentinels in Normandor. His role is also highly commended and he works with the Captain of the Realm to ensure the Sentinels are ready for war. He also ensures the Initiates and Guardians are put on the right path to becoming Sentinel. He must command respect and have real leadership abilities. A Sentinel of high status and great responsibility.

Captain of the Auxillia:

This Captain is responsible for the Sentinallia Auxillia. He is to oversee recruitment of all forces that reside outside of Normandor. He is responsible for their training and equipment and answers directly to the High Commander. He collaborates with the Sentinel and Realm Captains in times of war. This Captain forms a vital external link and is truly invaluable for the Kingdoms external security. He may promote those in the Auxillia up to the level of Guardian. Following that promotion must be granted by the High Commander.

In Character:

You read the Oath of the Guard:

I, Rovan Dyonel 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.”

Signed: Rovan Dyonel

*The Sentinel asks you questions so he may ponder over your request to join the Guard, he beckons you to keep it brief*

Question 1: What can you contribute to the guard of Normandor?

Rovan: I can contribute my own sword and skills ((42 swords)) and a fierce will to protect my homeland.

Question 2: Armoured persons approach our gates, they are open. You don’t know why they are here. What do you do?

I would order them to halt, name themselves and their business in Normandor. If they have good reasons to enter the city, such as meeting an official or returning to their homes after a journey, I would grant them entrance. If they wished to do business in the city (buying or selling items) I would ask another initiate to accompany them to their destination. If they did not provide a reason, I would sound the alarm for assistance and try to hold them at the gate.

Question 3: Where do you wish to progress in the Guard?

I wish to move up the ranks to perhaps sentinel, and be a respected citizen of Normandor.

*The Sentinel asks you questions so he may ponder over your request to join the Guard, he beckons you to keep it brief*

Question 1: What can you contribute to the Guard of Normandor?

I can provide any type of wooden material that the Guards require, as I am also a lumberjack. I have lived in Normandor for awhile so I know all the roads and buildings in Normandor. Not only that, I am training in both swordsmanship and axe mastery skills.

Question 2: Armoured persons approach our gates, they are open. You don’t know why they are here. What do you do?

First of all, closing access to the City of Normandor, ensuing the protection of the citizens inside. Then, I will ask basic questions: Their identity and reason for being in the city. If things get out of control, I will quickly call for other Guards.

Question 3: Where do you wish to progress in the Guard?

Personally, I would like to reach the rank of Sentinel, possibly in Axe Mastery, for it is a vacant spot. However, I am not skilled enough to become a Sentinel, meaning I'll train very hard and do my job as a Guard, even as an Initiate.
