The Malinor Sentinels

[Aiden 173]

The Malinor Sentinels

Who are we? We are the soldiers of Malin. We are the protectors and servants of the High Council of Malinor and its people. As one, we rise to defend our great lands in the name of the Princedom. It has been our duty for centuries to ensure peace and safety of the great lands of Malinor. We are the Sentinels.

Sentinel Laws and Guidelines

Sentinels must always obey the orders and respect the authority of the High Council. By serving in the Sentinels they pledge an oath to the High Council to protect the people and engage any enemy of the Holy Princedom that the High Council dictates.

Sentinels must obey the orders of those superiors appointed over them. Disobedience is to not be tolerated as it flies in the face of discipline and good order. Orders are to be carried out to the best of one's ability in order to ensure that the complete effort of the Sentinels in its duties to the Holy Princedom does not falter.

Sentinels must not allow foreign concepts of 'honor' or the like to intrude on their duties. At the same time the Sentinel must not commit atrocities that would fly in the face of the ordeals of the Holy Princedom of Malinor.

Sentinels should never surrender so long as there is a means to resist, nor should a leader surrender the Sentinels under their command so long as they have a means to resist. Cowardice is also insufferable for a Sentinel to display. All measures should be taken so that no Sentinel or Citizen is left behind to their fate during conflict or disaster.

If a Sentinel is captured, they will make every effort to escape such captivity. If more then one is present they will work together to escape. Captured Sentinels will never accept bribes or gifts from their captors. They will refuse to answer any interrogations to the nature of their duties.

Improper conduct within the Sentinels is not to be tolerated. Sentinels represent the arm and shield of the Holy Princedom and must keep the best appearance up at all times.

All Sentinels, new and current must swear to abide by these codes.

Standards of Conduct

Insubordination - Disrespect towards a superior or disobeying a duty given by a superior is considered insubordination. This includes dereliction of such duty. This is a minor offense in Malinorian law. Exception is if the superior is apart of the High Council in which this is a severe offense instead.

Assault - Physically striking an innocent citizen of Malinor, another Sentinel, innocent Foreigner, or other official that is not under arrest or resisting such. This is a minor offense or severe if a weapon is used. Elevated to severe and capital offenses if such is a superior.

Dissension/Sedition - Speaking out against the High Council, the Malinor Sentinel, or the Holy Princedom. Slandering an official or superior is also covered here. Such is the equivalent of a severe offense or capital offense if determined to be treasonous.

Mutiny- Rising up against once superiors. This is punishable by capital offense, resulting in either exile or execution, or in certain cases Unceremonious Death.

Improper Conduct - Equivalent to the Malinorian law representing disorderly conduct. Sentinel are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times and not bring discredit to themselves, the Sentinel or the Holy Princedom. The severity of the offense depends on the impact of the action.

General Law - All actions not covered here but are covered in Malinorian law apply to this article. The document on the offenses describes the punishment required for offenses not listed here for Sentinel that commit such offenses.

Removal - Those Sentinels that commit an equivalent to a severe or capital offense will be removed from the Malinor Sentinels. Repeated offenses of a minor nature will also subject the individual to removal as well. Superiors of sufficient rank may remove a subordinate if they feel they do not make a good match for the Sentinels. This may be overturned by their superior or the High Council.

Parir'sil and under (Hielia'sair - Parir'sil) may be removed by a Merache'sair or higher. Anyone may be removed at any time by a member of the High Council.

Ranks

High Prince - The Leader of the High Council. In defense and military affairs, the High Prince or Princess serves as a Commander in Chief. They are advised by the High Council, as well as the Mamerache'sair when they directly involve themselves in the Sentinels.

Prince/Princess - Position in the High Council. All Sentinels are to obey the orders given by a Prince or Princess. Occasionally a Prince or Princess will serve as the commander of the military and in which case the Mamerache'sair (if one is present) serves as their advisor.

Mamerache'sair - Oversees the entire military as well as compiles the reports of their Sentinels and gives the pertinent information to the High Council. The Mamerache'sair may sentence offenders for any level of offense (minor, severe, or capital). This rank is capable of performing the duties of any rank of the Sentinels.

Merache'sair - Functions as a commander of the Sentinels in an entire city. They receive their reports from their Wardens and compile them for the High Commander. When needed, Sentinels may perform the duties of any rank below them.

Parir'sil - This rank handles day to day affairs. Compiles reports for the Merache'sair appointed over their city. They are in charge of patrol routes and given access to the gates in order to regulate the entry of visitors. This includes city gates, customs at the ports, and other passages. Their posts serve as a central point for Outrider patrol routes. Parir'sils may also make patrols. Parir'sils are also able to sentence offenders for Minor or Severe offenses, but not capital offenses. Wardens can function in the duties of any rank below them.

Evarir - The main body of the Sentinels. These elves are fully capable of making arrests to those who trespass the laws of the Princedom. Evarirs are expected to patrol the cities and wilderness around the Princedom.

Mahielia'sair - Once a Heila’sair has been trained and is deemed adequate by the standards of agility, swordsmanship, archery, etc, they are promoted to this rank. They are allowed to make arrests if they are with another sentinel who is not a hielia’sair. If they prove themselves as an actual guard of malinor, then they will be promoted to Evarir, the main body of the sentinels.

Hielia'sair - A probationary rank used for training purposes. These are assigned to a Parir'sil to train and mentor. They have no ability to make arrests on their own, they can only assist those above them in such matters unless explicitly instructed otherwise.

Orym removes one of the posters and goes home to update it. The rest still hang around the elven settlement.
