The Teutonic Order

Teutonic Foundations:

 

The Teutonic Order has existed for over 70 years and has seen many changes throughout the decades. Started as a small band of capable ex-soldiers, the Order quickly grew to engulf several other guilds and eventually conquer the Kingdom of man. However, the exact details and events of the Teutonic Order's past has been lost to most and only kept alive by a select few who have lived long enough to see it all. The Order's base foundations as a secret military order has resulted in the lack of public documentation of its past as well as several other classified fields of the Order's operational activities.

 

The Order was founded to repair and force the recovery of the Human Kingdom of Oren. The Human Kingdom was rittled with countless guilds and factions all bickering and fighting each other over petty possessions and titles. As a result the Human race was left powerless against the Undead forces of Aegis. It was the undertaking of the Teutonic Order to exterminate the problematic guilds and restore Oren to a status that could better fight against the Undead pressure. However, as time went on the Order found themselves on the victor side of just about every battle they fought, leading up to their immense strength through war. It was then decided that Oren was unable to defend itself and was unwilling to change, so the Order then turned its attention towards the ruling body of man, eventually arresting control of Oren after a series of attacks on the capital city of Al'kazaar. Thus the Teutonic Order then became the leaders of Oren with their first Hochmeister Gaius Marius as the King.

 

Although this was short lived and the status of Oren was once more plundged into turmoil and conflict. Half the Kingdom was given away to a group of rebels and the other half remained under Teutonic Control. After the death of Gaius Marius the wise, Samuel Bealcrest was appointed Hochmeister on Gaius' deathbed. From there the Order engaged in a series of battles and a long, bloody war with the rebel faction later to be called Renatus. The Undead took advantage of this period and quickly razed most of the Human controlled settlements as well as several other locations throughout Aegis. With the collapse of the Nether and the loss of Aegis, the Order found themselves lost and without a purpose. When the ships reached the shores of Asulon, the Order quickly claimed the frozen south as their home and focused on developing their nation.

 

However, the tolling tragedy of losing Aegis did not stop war from rearing its ugly head towards the Order once more. The Order engaged in several more battles with the neighboring Kingdom of Renatus, placing the Order on the victor side several times. Sam spared the Renatians, eventually leading to his own demise as he was assassinated and the Realm of Hanseti quickly fell apart. Only after Mirtok was called out of exile and made Hochmeister did things begin to turn around. The Order was still lost and nearly on its knees, but with the new change in leadership came a new spark of direction and determination.

 

The Order eventually joined the steadily growing Empire of Oren, restoring its purpose once more as a protectorate of Oren. Under the new Emperor the Order prospered and continues to do so, fighting in a number of wars and often times emerging on top of the piles of rubble where their enemies used to be. Currently the Order has taken on an ultranationalistic and zealous loyalty to the Emperor Godfrey and has made his will manifest to their very best efforts since coming under the Oren banner.

The Order's Way:

 

The Order was founded on the principle of reviving and restoring the Human kingdom of Oren to its highest potential. Its role and purpose has morphed and changed throughout the many decades and leaders, but its underlaying goal has been in the best interests of the Human race.

For many decades the Order has operated in secrecy, working behind the scenes and only emerging to decimate the several guilds in Aegis' Oren. From its very beginnings The Order and its Sariants have lead a heavily militaristic life, adhering to the old customs of Gaius that were brought from his home land. Ancient hyms and songs were sung before battle, special traditions upheld on and off duty and a profound comradery was felt among Sariants and their order brothers. Sariants are expected to remain loyal to their Hochmeister and their fellow soldiers. Ever following them into battle with the utmost courage and honor. Together they form a nuclear bond that surpasses all other desires held previous to admittance.

The Hochmeister is the leader of the Order, and therefore among the top priorities of the Order under remaining loyal to the Emperor. He leads the Sariants on the field of battle and on home shores as well as handles transcontinental diplomacy and national relations. Sariants are responsible for his life, as he too is responsible for them. The Hochmeister has the duty of making sure all his Sariants are well equipped, cared for, housed, fed and trained. All Sariants are provided free homes, free gear, and access to the Sariant Store House for any material or produce needs. Starting members are equipped with lower grade gear but the more they progress in the Order the more they are trusted, yielding better gear and higher privileges. The primary method of rank progression can be achieved through combat. Rank progression can only be issued by the Hochmeister. However, disobeying the Hochmeister will reverse their progression, leading to possible removal from events or increased workload. Remaining loyal and respectful to the Hochmeister and the other Sariants is important for each member.

Members of the Order are expected to be the best that they can be. This means that every soldier who wishes to fight must be a master in their preferred weapon. The Order trains all those whom need it to be fit for battle and to become an experienced warrior. However, the Order also favors intelligence among its ranks. All Sariants of the Order have their university tuition fees payed for by the Hochmeister if they attend educational classes in Hanseti. The Teutonic Order wants the very best from their soldiers and is willing to guide them along to your peak capabilities.

The Order functions heavily on trust and community. Sariants are never permitted to steal from each other or citizens of the Empire. Because everything a Saraint needs is provided, it is encouraged that all members work souly for the Order and in the best interests of the Emperor. It is possible to be granted special privileges for aspiring merchants or members of significant positions. Most of the material gained from mining, exploring, claiming, foresting or growing should be added to the Sariant Store House for all members to enjoy. The act of hoarding valuables or withholding battle claimed gear is greatly disrespectful to the Hochmeister, detrimental to the strength of the Order and against the Teutonic customs.

Finally, The Order places heavy emphasis on the eternal and life binding servitude to the Emperor Godfrey. Every Sariant is expected to give their life and every essence to his will, carrying out his words no matter the cost be it wealth, land or life. His mightiness inspires the Order to achieve more than they have ever before, he gives the Order the strength and the backing to push forward into the brave new world and it is his words that we live by.

*Walks up the stairs of the keep, halberd in hand he mumbles to himself.*

 

"This is my family. These are my brothers, brothers that shall fight by my side with honor. I damn well know that this order isn't built upon the opinions of others, we don't stride for the fame from others, as Mirtok said. We fight for the emperor, that is our purpose, not to gain the fame from small minded citizens. "

 

*Joseph smiles for a second and speaks out.*
