Lore of the Gladiants

Chapter one

Betrayal

The Gladiants became the new military under the villain Jester when the Bannermen were faltering. Lancel Hightower, Prince of Salvus, found the villain to have changed his ways and find peace within himself. Jester was a hard worker and found good men for the Gladiants, but he still had the evil sense about him and shrugged off his duties when he thought all was well and good and running.

It was true though, the Gladiants were booming, around solace was safe and fair. They were strong warriors, although sometimes a little dumb. And the captain was doing well to gain members. Lancel tried his hardest to defend his city and brought in a group of sell swords in to help protect the city as well fight the Teutons who hide in their icy hell. They were better warriors then most of his Gladiants and they proved it on many occasions.

Of course tension raised and the Gladiants were not happy that they were there, they began to start raiding the sellswords base and taking their men captive. Lancel ordered the scene to stop and the Gladiants to not storm the base anymore seeking out men but Jester brought his villainous ways and began to get power hungry, he didn't like the competition and joined with an assassin to kill Lancel Hightower in cold blood.

Half the Gladiants broke their oaths and turned on Lancel, it was the brave fighting of the sellswords and the crimson company Lancel took the head of the Assassin and displayed it before the city as a warning to all who dare try and kill him. The Gladiants fled in fear and are now wanted in the name of the church and are criminals of the church.

Ranks

- The Castellan is the overall leader of the military of Salvus, he may call the banners to march with the Prince/Kings approval and attack what he sees a threat. In the absence of a Hightower he becomes the leader of Solace. He may not wage war be himself, even if no Hightower is there only defend and command the over all welfare of the city.

Master of arms

- They are the the seniors of the army. The best of the best with their weapons, there is only four of these at a time. One Archer, One Swordsman, One Axeman, One Unarmed master. They control training of the certain classes and are responsible for training them in the uses for war tactics, Siege equipment use, and siege defense.

"My you are a persistent one Lancel aren't you?"

Philip grunts as he stares down towards the dead body. He looks behind his back, checking for any other suspicious acts. he steps forward, checking the body for any signs of identification. He glances back up as he sees the Orc and Goblins scurry away.

Philip shrugs them off, already assuming another shall deal with them. He turns away from the body, seeing no result of finding out whoever it is. Philip then steps over towards the gatehouse, then proceeds to yell towards the guard post.

"Oi, dumb-arse. Have these gates remained closed. Got some green midgets and an Uruk killin' a noble or something! Oh, and try looking for them, too, I guess!"

Satisfied with his effort, Philip then walks away towards a higher official to report the dead body.

- A man is walking down a street in fine silks and exotic velvet, running up to him you see two goblins and a orc about to corner him in a dark alley by the tavern. You hear a yelp and rush in to find him dead, the three running down the alley.

With cunning and keen eye I run down the alley, listening for the lound of foot steps before me I rush forward. Coming up to a corner in the alley I spot the three laughing and talking amongst themselves boasting of their roles in the murder. I look around and spot 2 nearby guards and make my way to them making sure to keep an eye on the three. "Hail brothers, I am in need of assistance." I say to them. "A man was just killed down the alley leading back this way by two goblins and an orc." I explain pointing down the pathway I just came from. "Where are they now?" asked the guard to my left. "Just down here aways I can lead you to them." I say beckoning them to follow me. We turn together and head back down towards where the goblins and orc were last. Still standing in their last location they are now counting the money from the purse they cut free from the man as they slain him. "Stop where you stand!" calls out one of the guards. The orc in a frenzy turns and charges the guard nearest to him. The guard easily steps to the side giving his companion the opening to attack. Switftly the second night smashes him with the hilt of his sword and knocks him unconsious. Leaving just the two goblins to deal with. I turn quickly to get a bearing on the goblins, just as I turn I see a goblin about to plunge a dagger through the back of one of the guards. Without thinking I instinctively reach for my quiver drawing a arrow back in my bow. Letting the arrow loose it flies true dispatching the goblin piercing right into his heart from the side. The second goblin lets out a shriek and falls to his knees surrendering. "Thanks for the help brothers is there anything else I can do to help." I imply. "Show us the location of the body they looted this purse from and, that will be all." he says to me. "Certainly" I reply leading the way to the scene of the crime.

I would first look for any other guards, and if so I would ask for their assistance. If not, I would command the offenders to stop, and if they did not, I would pull out my bow and strike them in non-fatal areas. If they continue to run, I would kill them with a head shot, or chase after them and kill them with my sword.

Approached with an offer from another region, the opportunity to serve is still very much appreciated.

((Well I'm handling applications and all that good stuff, though all these multiple posts is extremely confusing to new recruits. We have some posts in the "guild" section and others in the "Kingdom of Salvus" section. Considering the Gladiants are guards for Salvus I think all of these posts should be either deleted or moved to the Salvus thread. I'll set up the post with all the current information on the Gladiants, basically this same post with the new information. Being as you can't come online Lancel and slic3man isn't even a Gladiant anymore, this'll make it a lot less of a hassle. If you object just cut me off here and I can remove everything I make, but until then I'll be reorganizing the Gladiants so it runs a bit more smoothly. Thanks.))
