Ranks

 

The ranks of the Highguard are kept straightforward with as little complication as possible. There is only one auxiliary rank in the system. Otherwise, one will find the ranking completely linear.

 

 

---High Commander Serva Rose---

The High Commander carries the flag of leadership in the Highguard. He manages the force as a whole and appoints senior officers to carry out day to day duties. When a High Commander retires or is KIA, the position is assumed by the Arbiter until a new High Commander is chosen by the council.

 

---Commander---

The Commander carries the voice of High Commander Rose in their respective cities. They are the highest officer appointed by the High Commander. Commander Aenor receives orders from Rose or Oceas and then assign a specific legion to the duties. They, along with the Arbiter and specific Sentinels make up the Highguard's council. One does not need to be a Sentinel before becoming a Commander, though they will most likely be chosen from a Sentinel or Warden.

 

---The Arbiter of the Highguard---

Arbiter Kaldo Raven'kor carries the duties of a Sentinel as well as being a main adviser for major decisions and strategist for the Commanders. It is the duty of the Arbiter to find relevant information of any given topic and put it to use. The Arbiter also acts as a field marshal when needed. To become the Arbiter, one must first serve as a Sentinel and prove sufficient knowledge of current events and strategy. They must also show the patients and skills to find missing information and use what has been learned to the maximum potential. Should a Commander fall in combat, or any other unplanned removal of a Commander, the Arbiter receives rights of inheritance for the position until Prince Oceas choosing another. They can issue punishment short of excessive torture and execution.

 

---Sentinel---

Sentinels are the senior officers and secondary leaders among the Highguard. They have proven to be invaluable many times over, and committed to their duties. Each leads their own legion, and manages their troops. They ensure they are equipped, fed, sheltered, and trained. To serve as a Sentinel, it is most likely one will have to serve as a Warden, but it is not a requirement if you are proven. Sentinels have power to issue punishment to criminals in all ways short of excessive torture and execution.

 

---Warden---

The Secondary officer in the legions. Chosen by the Sentinels, they are tested soldiers who show the needed skills to begin following the path to leadership. They have direct control over Gladewatchers and Initiates, but must act within reason of orders. The rank of Warden is mainly used as a means to test future Sentinels and ready them for their duties.

 

---Gladewatcher---

The Gladewatcher is the backbone of the Highguard. The Gladewatcher is full trained and fit for combat. they are to handle most civil affairs and labor under the orders of their respective Sentinel. They have full authority to arrest, but not to issue any form of punishment farther than containment until a verdict is reached by a Sentinel or Commander.

 

---Initiate---

The Initiate is a rank purely used for for training. New soldiers unskilled in the art of war start here. Once they become proficient in two weapons / skills they will be promoted to Gladewatcher.

Silverleaf Steel:

The iron alloy that most Highguard equipment is made of. It is durable and strong. Its easy to sharped while being quite flexible, making in well suited for weaponry. Its cousin, Ebonleaf, which is more suited for armour, is still in develepment.

Highguard Arrows:

There are three types of arrows available to Highguard Rangers and Horsemen.

-Standard: balanced for accuracy: range, and power.

-Light-fare: Made for the mounted bowmen of the Highguard. They take accuracy and range over power. Their extreme stremeline shape gives them a edge in such regard.

-Armour piercing: A short range arrow meant to punch a hole in even the greatest armour. The heavy tip gives the arrow a greater weight and deviation, while also giving it the strength to go through iron like butter.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Silverleaf Steel Leafblade Lance:

The elite lance of the Highguard. Information on this weapon is classified. All one must say is not to be in the way of this lance.

((Fantastic job Serva! seriously :) ))

[The Great Mongol Khan 1091]

*Ivan reads the note and rubs his chin*

 

"Eh'll have to come on down to ze barracks and make sure dey're doing a good job, and not like dey used to be."

[GloryorSolitude 94]

I welcome a new Sentinel to the senior table. Alendar Oussana, taking control of Legion Fireheart from former-sentinel Pelilasdir Elerel.

 

A new option for those wishing to join the Highguard is now being offered.

 

All Highguard are encouraged to learn to ride and fight on horseback, a larger amount of steeds will be available soon.

[John (Zevandir) 80]

Zevandir sees the poster and laughs aloud, before his face clouds with memories.

 

As he turns to walk away, a faint smattering of mumble can be heard...

 

"... started the damn PATHFINDERS! And now look at them, Sentinels, Wardens, Highguard, they never change... weak cluster of pathetic fools... should've been left... rot... realm of the Undead."

[Dry Crackers 230]

Emanaf reads the poster, his frown deepening withe every line more.  Finished, he turns away in disgust and stumps off down the path.

He mutters something rather garbled as he goes.

 

"Pff, Highguard indeed!  Reformed for . . . fancy names . . . plate!  That Mister Rose . . . Sometimes I just can't . .-eve myself.  Highguard, huh."

[GloryorSolitude 94]

Medical positions are available for those joining the Highguard. The medic is an auxiliary rank and will not have direct control over anyone. The exception being if a Highguard is unable to perform duties due to a medical condition. A medic can then rule said Highguard (Commanders not included) as such status, and issue orders to prevent any mistakes that may arise from it.

[excited 10833]

Talis looks, and snorts, annoyed, he leaves a note; "Didn't see none of yeh fight in Aegis, good luck nowadays again' Oren." Pleased, he leaves.

[ConnorMagill 43]

*Reads the note

 

"Highguard of Malinor... hmm."

 

"Very respectable group.. but one..."

 

*walks to the edge of the well and sits humming a soothing tune

[GloryorSolitude 94]

As our numbers increase, we naturally approach the maximum number of units that each legion is formatted for. As such, a new legion is to be added soon. The leader and possible specialization is still under consideration. 

[GloryorSolitude 94]

Several major changes have been made:

 

- The four legions of Luemalin have been condensed to two larger legions

- Serva Rose has been appointed High Commander

-Commanders Aenor Calithil and Kaldo Raven'kor

-Alendar Oussana takes the place of Kaldo as Arbiter

-Elros takes lead of Sotrmblade legion

-Highguard response and activity will be heavily improved. Members neglecting duties will be removed is need be.
