Order of the Hourglass
hourglass.jpg
 
“And so we, the Order of the Hourglass,
Hereby swear to help time progress.”
Music:
 
Should You Be Interested?:
This scroll shall be kept strictly honest for the good of those who read it. We do not wish to 
ensnare you, the reader, in an order you have no desire to be in. Nowadays, it is impossible to walk the roads of Anthos without encountering some sort of foul creature, treacherous monster, or corrupted being: The most common threat of all is dangerous thugs and goons posing as benevolent protectors of the world. They have proceeded with their horrid deeds for too long with hinderance. Now, the Order of the Hourglass rises, to serve the realms of Anthos, unattached to any nation, to create safe passage for the sands of time and guarantee the safety of Anthos’ inhabitants. To aid the order, one does not need to be able to fight; any and all who are willing to help provide valuable skills such as blacksmithing, farming, cooking, and fletching will be welcomed with open arms.
 
In no ways is this order a brotherhood, despite what the camaraderie within our ranks may suggest: women are very much encourage to apply for a position within the Order. Within our ranks, there is a very short hierarchy, and it is extremely easy to progress. If you are willing to devote your life to the protection of others, defeating the threat in the North, and swearing allegiance to the Order, then you have found your home, and your new family is waiting for you.

Our Main Goals:
The Order in no way wishes to act as the guard force of the world, though we will not fail to attempt to help. The Order of the Hourglass exists mainly to eliminate the threat in the North and protect the world of the descendant races from harm. We, the Order of the Hourglass, remain isolated in our camp in the North, and we shall remain there and around there until the threat is quenched. Recruitment parties will be sent into the midst of nations every so often in hopes of adding new faces to the ranks of the Order, however the majority of recruits shall be applicants whom have been accepted into the Order.
 
Ranks:
1. The Grand Keeper - the commander of the Order. He leads the Council of the Keepers and receives their advisement. In his absence, the Keepers make decisions for the Order democratically. The Grand Keeper is also the head strategist. Example of Title: The Grand Keeper John Smith of the Order of the Hourglass.
 
2. Keeper - the rank prior to Grand Keeper. The Council of the Keepers consists of five Keepers, (including the Grand Keeper). There is one Keeper to represent each descendant race: Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves. The Grand Keeper does not represent any descendant race, but instead represents Anthos as a whole, making decisions that would best serve Anthos. Example of Title: Keeper John Smith of the Order of the Hourglass.
 

3. Justiciar - the rank prior to Keeper. Only Justiciars may rise to the rank of Keeper. The Grand Keeper decides to he wishes to rise from the rank of Justiciar to Keeper. There can be as many Justiciars at a time as the Council of Keepers wants; they are the officer force of the Order. For every raiding and scouting party there is one or two Justiciars at the helm, commanding them and assuming the position of leaders. Guardians are promoted to Justiciar upon completion of the commendation system. Example of Title: Justiciar John Smith of the Order of the Hourglass.


5. Guardian - the rank prior to Justiciar. Guardians, through commendations, may rise to the rank of Justiciar. Guardians are the main fighting force of the Order and are relied upon to do the most dangerous tasks; raiding in the North, defending the base, scouting enemy territory, and other dangerous tasks. Guardians are highly respected within the Order. Example of Title: Guardian John Smith of the Order of the Hourglass.
 
6. Trainee - newly recruited members of the Order. Trainee’s are soldiers who are yet to prove themselves to the Council of Keepers. The Council of Keepers may promote Trainee’s at any time to the rank of Guardian. Usually, promotion does not occur until the Trainee has dedicated much time to the Order or has committed some great feat during combat for the Order or in the Order’s name. Trainees can begin as . Example of Title: Trainee John Smith of the Order of the Hourglass.
 
7. Dedicant - associates of the Order. Dedicants are simple men and women who cannot fight but wish to contribute to the order by providing special skills that are required to maintain the Order.

The Oath of the Order:
"I, (Rank) (Name), hereby swear to uphold Anthos through the protection of its borders and to declare myself neutral in political affairs; the Order must always come first. I swear to obey the commands of my superiors and to show courage, honor, integrity, and faith when I venture into unknown lands. There shall be no rest until the world has been purged of evil and any threat to the peaceful existence of Anthos. And so I, (Rank) (Name) of the Order of the Hourglass, hereby swear to help time progress. Without weakness, I shall fight. Without doubt, I will embrace the light."
 
Commendation/Promotion System:
When one gathers enough “Hourglass Commendations,” they may progress to the next rank. However, when Justiciars collect Hourglass Commendations, there is no limit as to how many they can receive before promotion. However, traditionally, the Justiciar with the most commendations of his race is typically promoted to Keeper. Commendations are a point system given out by Keepers and the Grand Keeper for well done jobs and tasks. Service in battle could be one commendation, while certain scouting missions could be worth hundreds of points. The point system works as follows:
 
Trainee → Guardian = 100 Hourglass Commendations (Total)
Guardian → Justiciar = 300 Hourglass Commendations (Total)
Justiciar → Keeper = (At least) 500 Hourglass Commendations (Total)

Short Biography:
There is not much that is needed to be known about me. I am a Dwarf, I have lived many years with my kin. I have fought and bled for my city and now... I'm not quite sure if I have the heart to do so again. If this organization is truly what I'm looking for, then we shall talk of my upbringing.

Reasons why your character may want to join the Order:
I've too long waited for an order to come about that wishes to maintain stability and remove those who commit themselves to building a facade of peace.

The Grand Keeper gets to work, greatly excited by the exceptional influx of applications to the Order. Energized to get to work, he writes one letter and copies it over and over again, sending them to each individual applicant. Using the black crows of the Abresi aviary, he sends the letters aloft. Each one reads. . .

"Welcome to the Order of the Hourglass! I will schedule a time for all of us to meet at one time and further discuss positions and our next order of business. I hope to see you all soon. Upon our meeting, I shall hand out uniforms. I wish for each of you to go out individually and spread word of the Order. It is long past time that those who dwell in the light have had to cower from the creatures of the darkness, and Anthos must know of our goals. I hope to see you all soon and witness your progress.

- The Grand Keeper"

The Grand Keeper reads over Philip's application, and his eyes grow wider and wider as he reads each line.

 

"Well. . . He's certainly. . . Hrm. . ."

 

Against his better judgement, the Grand Keeper comes to a decision. He jots down a note on a piece of paper, sending it off on a crow from the Abresi aviary.

 

"As the Grand Keeper, I deem it necessary to interview you first before accepting or denying your application: simply a precaution. I will try to contact you soon. I hope to see you soon.

- The Grand Keeper."
