Kickstarted and Running 965 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The Gryphon Bannermen, soldiers of Pruvia and the house of Horen-Gryphon The Gryphon Bannermen are the soldiers of the duchy of Pruvia. They maintain the peace and can be called upon in times of war. There are several ranks within the Gryphon Bannermen and various codes to be followed and regulations. Ranks: Bannerman- The basic line infantry of the Gryphon Bannermen, they are commanded by a Sergeant and preform basic duties such as patrol. The squad is given bunk quarters and are not always together. A Captain or Sergeant may decide to only send a fraction of the squad on duties such as patrol to maximize efficiency. Sergeant- The squad commanders of the Gryphon Bannermen. They command squads of troops of no more than 5, and keep the squad in fit condition. They recieve orders from Captains on what their squad is to be doing and the Sergeant assigns individual men of his squad to various duties given to that squad. Captain- Commanders of the Gryphon Bannermen. They assign squads to duties and command a set number of squads depending on various factors such as the number of squads, squad size, number of captains, and squad skill. Gryphon Guard- The elite troops of the Gryphon Bannermen. They protect the members of the family and make sure the Captains are doing their job properly. They listen to the head of the family alone, and no other member of the family. If needed they can promote or demote troops or even dismiss them if absolutely nessecary. Only the best are chosen and they may come from any of the ranks suddenly. They also watch the ranks for outstanding individuals who may become candidates. The Gryphon Bannermen are based out of the duchy of Pruvia and only have jurisdiction in there. If any are found breaking laws or commanding power in other lands they will be dismissed and possibly executed. -OOC- Forum Name MC Name Skills -RP- What is your name? What are you good with?

ayresalex 517 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Mikhael passes through the gates into Mireton, he breathes in the fresh mountain air, and grins, Just like home... he thought. He was just recently outfitted with his new Gryphon tabard, and felt quite spiffing in it. Better than that damned Elendil gave me. Nothing. he mused. Mikhael felt quite at home with his new position. He was serving a house that was close knit with the Emperors own house. He gloated this to his friends a few to many times at the Therving Tavern, and set on an air of importance and sometimes- arrogance. Mikhael stops at the crossroads, spotting Kazrek. Mikhael wondered if this was the new recruit that Alexander had told him about. Nonetheless, using his gruff northern accent he yelled, "'ey! Yew dat new man his lordship was talkin' about?" He starting trotting over to Kazrek, waiting for a response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
