The Gladiants - House Hightower Reformed

[Slic3man 484]

The Gladiants

The Gladiants are recruiting at the moment, looking for able bodied men and women. Gladiants search for such so we may build up a better able-bodied community and military to Solace. Together we shall rise up and make Solace a place to be mentioned through out all the ages.

Sub-Ranks

Rudiarius

The archer is the bowman of the Gladiants. Picking off the enemy with their supreme ranged ability and usually being the ones upon the walls. They are also used in the back of the troops during a battle, firing a volley of shots into the oncoming enemy. Supplied with bows made of strong oaken trees, preferably leather and perhaps even a iron or stone dagger should they need it. They are a valuable asset to the Gladiant military.

Secutor

Usually the front line to a military basis, these men and women stand ready with sharpened blades for combat. Making up the general bulk of the military, they advance to slash and stab the enemy. Whether it be patrolling or standing firm guard, they will flash their blades with the bravery they hold. Supplied with blades often of iron or even diamond and medium to heavy armor, they face the enemy directly across any frontier.

Samnite

This is for those of the men and women whom wield mighty Axes that hack away at their enemies. Being mixed in with the Secutors here and there, and sometimes made into their own regimes, Samnites tend to be the ones to be the stronger weapon wielders in the Gladiant military. Either wielding a one-handed axe or a great axe is ultimately up to the Samnite them self. Provided with either an iron or diamond axe and typically medium to heavy armor in most cases. Samnites provide the Hightower military with the strength they need from a warrior who enjoys the axe over a blade.

Venator

Carrying less of a weapon, more of a healing hand, these men and women tend to the hurt and ill of the Gladiant military. Often more away from the battlefield then they actually are, they contain knowledge to heal wounds whether they be deep or shallow, inside the body or out. Often provided with perhaps a stone or iron sword, and medical supplies needed for them to work with what they may. Alchemy, basic medical healing, or magic are all good ways to mend the hurt.

Ranking System

High Gladius - The highest one will ever get compared to the Prince himself. The High Gladius is the man or woman in charge of all the military, providing the food, training, arms and other necessities for the men and women of the Gladiants. All heed to his/her command in the Gladiants. He/she also holds a special spot on council, that being the military spot. Only one serving closely to his side being the Gladius, one of them of his choosing. Should the High Gladius decide to step down, he may recommend one of the two Gladius to the prince/king, though it may not effect the outcome. High Gladius may make people as high as the Cominion.

Gladius - Second highest as one can be compared to the Prince. Gladius is the one to have second say directly behind the High Gladius. During council, the Gladius stands next to the High Gladius to provide wisdom and suggestions as to how to act on occasion. He/she attends to help the High Gladius in his responsibilities if requested to do so. Should the High Gladius fall out of place, the prince/king shall decide whether the Gladius is able to uphold said responsibilities. Should he be approved by the prince, then he will be made the High Gladius as to be a 'heir' of sorts. There can be a maximum of two Gladius through out the Gladiants. A Gladiant is made when the High Gladiant and prince/king promote someone to the rank together in co-operation, hand-picking the people meant for this job. All below follow the order of Gladiant besides Cominion.

Cominion - Most do not make it this far in the Gladiants, but those who do have been chosen for good reason. The Cominion's commitment is to overall control the guard, and military personnel. Often setting up positions in war time, and leading men into war battles. His/her commitment is to also organize regimes in battle, should they be in defense in the city against an opposing force, or defending the town itself from rebellions. Cominion has a say in guard formations and positioning, but leaves the job mostly up to the Tawlt.

Tawlt - To put it simply, it is mostly like the guard captain. The Tawlt's duty is to manage the guard regime in towns, checking upon them occasionally also. They control where the guard's patrol, stand guard and move if needed to do so. He/she also manages the Lambast's progress and provides them with the materials needed from the prince/king to create arms for the men and women of the Gladiants. All below Tawlt listens to his/her order, within reasonable areas. There is only one Tawlt. All ranks above this point have the ability to recruit men and women into the Gladiants.

Justicar - There is not much to say about the Justicar, though it holds a high priority. The Justicar's job is to be a type of judge for criminals, deciding their punishment(s). Justicar may also tell lowers to arrest and/or obtain a criminal. Should the Justicar get out of hand, it is up to the Tawlt to take them out of place or demote them. The Justicar is almost even with the Lambast, though having more power. A maximum of two is allowed within the Gladiants.

Lambast - A Lambast is someone of the guild with a high need. Their priority is creating arms and armor for the men and women serving under the Gladiants. A practical blacksmith serving only under the Gladiants, making great arms that the Gladiants must have in order to pursue their duties to the fullest. There can be many Lambasts at once, in order to keep a steady flow of work and blacksmithing. He is able to send recruits out on errands, should there be enough in town. They can also recommend promotion should they think a guard has been doing well. This rank is more of for a Blacksmith, not to promote to, but still holds a bit of power.

Flauntius - Trained highly to be a strong and able-bodies fighter. These are the elites of the guard, ready to stand face first towards a crowd of enemies on their own. Willing to risk anything for their town and high training courses are signs for a strong and steady Flauntius to be. Many guards find it hard to get this far due to the extreme conditioning some are put through, but it may all be worth it in the end. These guards are revered by their fellow guard, being such. Good personality traits are sought after in them as well, making it quite hard to find one capable to hold such a honor. Flauntius are able to bring one guard with them during searches or other missions given to them, given there are enough to hold the town while gone. It should be known to these guards that they are still with the regular guard, and should treat them with the same respect they have been.

Ondivic - The rank above a new comer, they have earned the right to be called a Gladiant. Through this process they may not be the highest, but they have earned every last bit of this rank. These make up the most of the guard, if not all, sharing a close bond with each other. When one becomes a Ondivic, they have shown they wish to be a guardian, protector and caretaker of the citizens within Solace, as if they were their best friends.

Grenel - The first rank within the Gladiants, making it through to the first process of being accepted into the ranks. They do not hold much power but are always told to receive respect. From this point he/she must prove themselves to be willing to want to be a caretaker to the citizens of Solace, and make it clear that those are whom matter most to him over their own life.

*Demivar looks around Solace's new state after being rebuilt by the Hightowers and notices a recruitment poster*

"Hmph, typical Jester again, sadist bastard. What's all this about "Gut Seekers","Blood Blades" and "Flesh Arrows" they sound like a bunch of bloody cannibals, not guards"

[Hobolympic 1092]

"Eew... What kind of bloody system is this? 'Gut-Seeker'? This does not sound like James at all" Jordan thinks for himself.

[Slic3man 484]

*Listens closely to some of the people speaking, deciding to go back and find better-suited names for the Solace guard. Jester had thought it to be better before, but has fixed it and nods approvingly to himself.*
