    Issued and Confirmed by Inner Council of Aaun

    on the

    3rd of Deep Cold, 1931

     


     

    TO THE CITIZENS OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL,

     

    The nominations for the 1st Government of the Wards for the Royal Capital of Whitespire has ended. The Crown wishes to extend its thanks to all those who took initiative in partaking in the Municipal government of the Royal Capital in the form of nominating themselves, attending and hosting rallies and campaigning for the betterment of our city.

     

    Seeing as the amount of nominees matches with the positions offered, the Crown deems it fit that no elections are held at the time, and the following be appointed to their positions;

     

    The 1st Lord Mayor of Whitespire, Lord Fernand de Lewes

    Ward Representative, Lord Leufroy Alexandre

    Ward Representative, Lord Leopold Haverlock

    Ward Representative, Father Mikhael

     

    The Lord Mayor is hereby tasked with summoning the 1st sitting of the new City’s Council and beginning the works for improving the Capital, the law and the wider Crownlands at once.

    On the procedures, conduct and judgement of Aaunic Soldiers

    THE CODEX MILITARIS

    The Code of Honour 

     


     

    IN THE TAPESTRY OF MAN, many great armies and hosts have risen and fallen. Though history knows them all, from them shine through the ones who have embodied a strict code of honor and efficiency. Such books as the Lex Kaedrini have long stood out as giving soldiers clear and efficient instructions on how to proceed with serving their nation. Written first by Prince Henry, 1st Lord Commander of the Legio Aaunica, The CODEX MILITARIS will act as a guiding hand and reminder to the soldiers of Aaun. A reminder of what their duty is and how best to conduct themselves. 

     

    SECTION I - PROCEDURES OF JUDGMENT

    In a case of Soldier of Aaun breaking the Codex Militaris, they are summoned to appear in a Court Martial in the stead of a regular trial.

     

    Officer's Council

    If a mild breach of the Codex Militaris has been conducted, the Sergeants and Officers of the Legion will meet in a Council, where they will decide if a proper Court  Martial is necessary. If they decide the breach to be of mild status, they may assign a fitting punishment without the need for a Court Martial.

     

    Court Martial

    If the Sergeant’s Council decides the crime to be sufficient enough, or it appears sufficient enough by default, a Court Martial will be summoned by the Lord Commander. Whereas the summoned will have the chance to speak for himself and provide evidence to support his claim of innocence, or claim guilty directly. The Officer core will act as the Jury of the Court Martial with the Lord Commander being the final judge. 

     

    On Punishments

    Punishments for breaches of the Codex Militaris must abide within the Rights of Man and the additional Rights guaranteed to each Aaunic soldier by the Great Charter. If the conductor of the breach is a peer of the realm, they will be judged according to the sections of the constitution and the Lex Aaunica, which both take primacy over the Codex Militaris.

     

    SECTION II - CONDUCT OF SOLDIERS

    Whereas the soldiers of Aaun are oathed to the King, and will represent the King and his realm in all they do and how they act, must the conduct of soldiers, especially during duty, be of utmost respect, piety and professionalism.

     

    Contempt & Disrespect

    Whereas an individual employs contemptuous language or displays profound disrespect towards a senior rank, the Holy Mother Church, a noble lineage or any of his Majesty’s institutions.

     

    Forbidden liaison

    Whereas an individual engages in an unseemly relationship between a superior and a subordinate that undermines the superior’s authority or endangers the harmony of the military structure.

     

    Dereliction of duty

    Whereas an individual fails to appear at an assigned task or post or deliberately avoids partaking in his assigned tasks and military movements.

     

    Indolence

    Whereas an individual feigns illness, physical infirmity, mental weakness or otherwise feigns a reason to evade his assigned duties.

     

    Poor humour

    Whereas an individual makes jokes and humorous comments unbefitting of their station and duty.

     

    Insubordination

    Whereas the individual fails or refuses to carry on his assigned task, speaks out against his superior officer, or makes disloyal remarks.

     

    Loss of Honour

    Whereas an individual acts in a way that is considered dishonorable and against the good graces taught by the Holy Canonist Church.

     

    SECTION III - PROCEDURES OF SOLDIERS

    A detailed list of procedures for soldiery that guarantee the efficient and professional functioning of the Aaunic military structure.

     

    On arrest

    When a member of the Legion finds himself in a situation where they need to arrest someone, the arrest must always be conducted as swiftly as possible, and with as little interference to civilian life as possible.  No unnecessary violence may be used during the detention process.

     

    On resources

    Whenever a member of the Legion finds himself in the possession of resources that are either too plentiful for his own use or gathered while on duty, the resources must be donated to the Kingdom’s usage.

     

    On judgement

    A member of the Legion may never judge anyone guilty or innocent. If a crime has been committed or the Legionnaire has proper grounds to suspect that a crime has been committed, the person in question must always be detained and questioned.

     

    On military etiquette

    The usage of military etiquette, mainly greetings and salutations are mandatory while on duty unless otherwise agreed to by the superior and subordinate. Usage of etiquette regarding the Royal Family or a Noble of the Realm is always expected.

     

    On the upkeep of weapons and gear

    The upkeep of a Legionnaire’s gear is primarily the responsibility of the Legionnaire themselves. Their gear must always be ready for service and on them at all times. The Legionnaire is advised to speak with the Quartermaster if any questions regarding the maintenance and supply of gear arises.

     

    SECTION IV - CRIMINAL CODE

    A detailed list of crimes and acts that, if committed by a soldier, will be seen as complete abandonment of duty and honor and will be judged as such.

     

    Crimes against the flesh

    When a soldier commits actions that either during battle or while on duty intentionally cause physical harm or at the most extreme, the death of another person, this will be considered a crime against the flesh. The soldier may be exempt from this if they committed the action in protection of themselves or another Canonist.

     

    Crimes against the spirit

    When a soldier commits actions that either intentionally humiliate, insult or degrade the faith, beliefs or loyalties of another person, this will be considered a crime against the spirit. The soldier may be exempt from this if the person in question was not a Canonist.

     

    Desertion

    When a soldier fails to commit to his duty and oath and fails to take up arms in protection of his Kingdom, its Royal Family or his fellow soldiers, this will be considered desertion.

     

    Recklesness

    When a soldier out of recklessness or laziness allows a crime or an unwanted event to happen that could have been avoided if the soldier had been more aware and focused on his duties, or when a soldier does not handle a task assigned to them out of the aforementioned reasons, this will be considered recklessness.

     

    Espionage

    When a soldier intentionally relays any information provided by a superior or overheard while on duty to a third-party outside of the Legion, this will be considered Espionage.

     

    Abuse of authority

    When a soldier uses his rank or authority to intentionally threaten or leverage others to give information or submit to the granting of money, titles or favors, this will be considered an abuse of authority.

     

    Banditry

    When a soldier under the colors and arms of Aaun partakes in banditry either in foreign lands or inside Aaun itself, or when a soldier during battle or investigation loots and steals something not belonging to them, this will be considered banditry.

     

    Corruption

    When a soldier takes a reward, be it monetary or something else, to give special rights, guarantees or exceptions to another person, this will be considered Corruption.

    SEARCHING FOR SQUIRES

    By the hand of the Lord of Alba

     


     

    Blessings of the Exalted be upon you, people of Canondom,

     

    In my capacity as the Lord of Alba, I have decided to take upon myself the task of educating and tutoring a select few of our future generation, so that they may become the shining examples of piety and honor in our United Kingdom.

     

    I am currently searching for one or two additional squires to serve under me and the Royal House of Aaun. They will be tutored on the ways of pen and blade, and may, if proven strong enough of body and mind, lay down the foundations for a Aaunic Knightly Order. My only requirements are that they be the age of 12 to 25, and of Canonist origins.

     

    In addition for anyone aged under 12, I will be taking in one to three wards. They will be  tutored on courtly etiquette, swordsmanship and all that is expected of the youth of our Kingdom. 

     

    For those interested, do pen me a letter. I eagerly await the chance to meet our future.

     


     

    Signed and confirmed,

    His Royal Highness, Henry, Crown Prince and Lord Commander of Aaun, Lord of Alba

    THE ROYAL RESOURCE 

    INITIATIVE


     

    Blessings of the Exalted be upon you, people of Aaun

     

    As we settle on this new land, much of our resources and fighting strength has been lost in the turmoils of the sea. As we prepare to face the new dangers and challenges of this new continent, our armies and forces must be adequately armed and prepared for such.

     

    So does the Office of War announce the Royal Resource Initiative, aimed at mustering the Aaunic people to gather iron, wood, horses and other material to be then crafted into sword and plate and distributed amongst our forces.

     

    The Office of War has set up multiple donation chests at the Bastion, to which all Aaunic men are encouraged to bring forth their donations. For the one’s who have donated the most, rewards and recognition will follow.

     


     

    GOD be with us, as we enter this new and unexplored world,

    His Royal Highness, Henry, Crown Prince and Lord Commander of Aaun, Lord of Alba

    Here, behind the mountains of Langkette, at the bottom of the valley of Jrent

     

    Here shall lie the Aaunic Heartlands, and here against the Silver Sea, on the ruins of an ancient civilization, we shall build our home.

     

    And it will be a depiction of Paradise, a pillar of hope in the neverending fight against the dying of the light.

     

    And it shall be called Whitespire.

     


     

    Restoring My People

    Attributed to an unknown poet, c. 1925

     

    https://i.imgur.com/UpAMJ9j.png
     

    First, I will rebuild the walls, so that no threat may come close to my people.

     

    Then, I will lay down the foundations for the greatest house of GOD that has graced the mortal plane, and I will name it after the prophets of my faith.

     

    After that, I begin my greatest work. I will divide my home to wards, to allow the easy governance of my people.

     

    One I will build for the workers to reside in and in which to enjoy the merriments of our home.

     

    One for the merchants and fortune builders, where they may sell and buy their wares.

     

    One for those of noble blood, so their contributions may be rewarded and their station show.

     

    And one for the righteous, where they may consecrate to pray and serve our GOD.

     

    Then, I shall build the foundations for the rebirth of Aaunic culture and education.

     

    For this, I will build the Plane. A place for my people to consecrate and make merry as they watch the plays of our history.

     

    Our realm’s history and culture are vast, so I will build a hall to display and study it all. This I will name after our first King. 

     

    And then a house of medicine, to guard my people against sickness and wounds.

     

    For my final tasks, I will forge the foundations of our military. Our Bastion will stand strong and tall, and may no foe of my people ever break its walls.

     

    And finally, I shall build a seat for myself, from which me and mine ancestors will watch over these Heartlands. It shall reach up to the Seven Skies, and It shall be called The Hand of Horen.

     

    I lay down my hammer and ax, and call my people home.

    You can find the Capital of Aaun by teleporting to Lowlands from the cloud temple, and following the signs from thereon! You'll pass through Minitz, Vaska and Lemon hill's little camp in the process, so make sure to check those places out too, if heading to the capital!

     

    If you're looking for something to do or a house to live in Whitespire, there's a info board at the main gate, so check that out! Additionally, you can always ping someone from leadership in Aaun's discord.

    The Black Dragon Banner of House Alstion  

    THE HEARTLANDS BECKON,

    A call of service and duty

    Hear ye, hear ye! Let it be known throughout the land that the Legion of Aaun has been resurrected, sworn to protect the King of Aaun and these Heartlands of Aaun. With the blessings of the Aaunic King, the Legion shall serve as the personal army and sword arm of the royal capital and house, as well as the defenders of justice and rigtheousness in the Crownlands. May the strength and valour of our knights and soldiers remain steadfast and true, as they take up arms in the name of honour, duty and GOD.

     


     

    WHY WE SERVE?

     A cause of honour, justice and loyalty

     

    Service directly under the patronage of the King of Aaun is a great honour by itself alone, but there exists a higher cause of righteousness in service to the Legion. When the Heartlands come under attack, the men of the Legion are the first to its defence When the faithful servants of GOD are threatened, the soldiers of the Legion are the ones to see GOD’s will be done. The Crownlands have been in turmoil for decades, and it's our duty to see stability restored, so that those who come after us never again need suffer the devastation of war and civil strife.

     

    Benefits of serving as a Legionnaire under the Kingdom of Aaun,

    • Apartment housing for a discount of 15%.
    • The standard kit of a Legionnaire, free of charge.
    • Minae paid yearly in accordance with one's ranking and achievements within the Legion.
    • If ever injured while in service, the medical costs and potential new limbs will be covered by the Royal Family.
    • Glory and purpouse.

     


     

    CHAIN OF COMMAND

    For without discipline, come the end and the death

    The Legion’s hierarchy is separated into two parts; there are the ranks of foot, those men who excel in fighting and combat, but are either yet not ready or willing to take up the mantle of leadership. Then there exist the ranks of command; men who are leaders of the Legionnaires, who’s authority and knowledge in matters of combat, strategy and leadership are absolute. The rise through the ranks is an arduous one, as only the best are fit to lead the King’s men.

    RANKS OF COMMAND

    KING OF AAUN

    As the Commander-In-Chief of the Aaunic forces, the King of Aaun exercises absolute authority over the entire Legion and all of its members. The King has the sole authority to appoint a Lord Commander or other de-facto leading figure for the group, and as well holds the right to release anyone from their sworn oath to the Legion. 

     

    LORD COMMANDER

    The Lord Commander is the de-facto leader of the Legion, and responsible for its well being, the training and recruiting of soldiers and promoting those of lower rank. The Lord Commander acts with the authority and blessing of the King of Aaun, and thus his authority in matters relating to the army and safety of the Crownlands is absolute, only surpassed by the King himself.

     

    LIEUTENANT

    Lieutenants are the officers of the Legion - those men and women who have proved themselves worthy of the mantle of leadership. The Lieutenant has the authority to command ranks of lower status and take part in the military council of the Crownlands whenever called. While a Lieutenant has great authority in the Crownlands, they do also have a great amount of responsibility granted to them. It’s usual for a Lieutenant to be in charge of an aspect of the army, such as training the soldiers, recruiting or handling the armoury and arms of the Legion. The road to becoming an Officer is a hard one and takes years, but once reached it’s a status of great prestige and honour.

     

    RANKS OF FOOT

    SERGEANT

    Sergeants are veterans of the army  - those men and women who have seen their fair share of battle and are preparing to become a Officer, or for one reason or the other have chosen not to pursue such. Despite their placement in the ranks of foot, Sergeants may from time to time with the authorization of a Officer take up a position of leadership, and when no Officer is available, they may give orders to those of lower ranking than themselves. In addition, Sergeants have the right to levy out fines if a situation breaking the Crownlands evicts occurs, but is not worthy of arrest. Sergeants are also given a slightly larger discount on estates in the Crownlands.

     

    LEGIONNAIRE

    The backbone of the army, the Legionnaires are the rank-and-file.. After having completed their basic training and serving in the army for a fair amount of time, a Recruit may finally take their Oath to become an official Legionnaire of the King of Aaun, a hardened soldier and protector of the Heartlands. Legionnaires have the right to arrest persons who have broken the law in the Crownlands, and may levy fines if a man of upper rank is present. The Legionnaires are also afforded a small discount from estates from the Crownlands as a sign of gratitude for their service and loyalty to the Heartlands.

     

    RECRUIT

    Recruits are those who have just enlisted in the legion, with little to no previous experience in warfare and combat. To become a recruit, one must be a citizen of Aaun and adhere strictly to the Holy Canonist Faith. If one wishes to join but is not a Canonist, they may convert and be allowed to join thereafter. Recruits don't yet have the right to arrest or fine in the Crownlands, nor are they granted the best of weaponry until their basic training is completed. After such, the Commander will judge the recruit worthy and allow him to embark on Godfrey’s March, after which they may take their Oath to the King and the Crownlands and become a fully fledged soldier of the Legion. 

     


     

    CEREMONIES & AWARDS

    For every man who puts their oaths first has achieved the finest of triumphs worthy of the finest of commemorations.

    GODWIN’S MARCH

    After having been judged ready for their final trial by the Lord Commander, a recruit of the Legion is accompanied by his peers and the Lord Commander as they make their way on top of Mt. Godwin. There, at the tower of the old King, before the son of Horen and the King of old Aaun, the recruit will kneel and pray that St. Godwin grants upon them his judgement of if they are worthy to be oathed. After this, the recruits will make their way to the catacombs below the great tower and face their trial. If they are to successfully return back, the old King has given their blessings and they are ready to be inducted into the army. If they fail, they are to be banished from the Crownlands.

    THE OATH TO AAUN

    Once a recruit has completed their basic training, they may be brought in front of a member of House Alstion, usually either the King or the Crown Prince, and there they may take their Oath, finally becoming a Legionnaire. The Oath is sacred, and once taken may not be broken except with the acceptance of the Prince of Alstion and the Lord Commander of the Legion May those who break the oath be named oathbreakers and traitors, and be dealt with as such.

     

    Before the eyes of GOD, before my King and Commander, I place my blade beneath their feet, I swear my oath with this creed;

    For the memory of the old King and his Kingdom, for the glory of the restored one,

    For my home, these Heartlands of Aaun, and for the people who inhabit it.

    For my GOD, For my King, for my Comrades, and for no-one else.

    I will give my sword, my life and death. My victory will be theirs, and theirs mine.

    I will give my honour and glory. A traitor to them, will be a traitor to me.

    I will fight their fight, celebrate their triumphs, mourn their loss, as they will for me.

    With this creed I so swear my oath, and let my blood run cold if I am to ever forsake it.

    CAROLEAN’S PRAYER

    As a Recruit becomes a Legionnaire, it is customary for the other members of the army to gather together after the conclusion of the Oathing ceremony in celebration, where good wishes are brought to the newest member of the Legion by each individually, either in words or paper. These words are meant to symbolise the bond of camaraderie and friendship between the older and newer members of the Legion.

    After the death of a Legionnaire, those who brought them wishes may lower themselves before the funeral pyre of the bygone one and whisper these wishes anew in prayer, symbolising their gratitude of times spent and hopes of meeting again in GOD’s eternal Skies.  

    ROYAL KNIGHTHOOD

    For those men and women of the army who have proven to be of extraordinary skill and loyalty, come the most honourable of rewards. By the recommendation of the Lord Commander, the King of Aaun may knight these exemplary individuals as Royal Knights, after which they will take a moniker for themselves and be granted the title of “Ser” in a ceremony from the times of old Aaun. While Knighthood is not a rank of command in of itself and will not pass one’s regular rank in the Legion, it is a great honour and privilege. 

    AWARDS OF SERVICE

     

    In addition to acting as commemorations of one’s service to the Lefion, the awards also act as one’s payment. Each soldier is paid 5 minae weekly, with the base going up by 5 minae with ranks, with the base of a Lieutenant being 15 minae weekly. This does not however make up the majority of one’s pay, but it's rather determined by their awards, which are granted yearly per a soldier’s acts during said year. Contrary to most other militaries, the value of awards is not considered in how high of an award one gets, but how many they have.

     

    The Star of Service; Once retired and after having spent the minimum of 25 years in the Legion, a person is entitled to the Star of Service, which will guarantee them a pension of 25 minae yearly for the rest of their lives, as long as they continue to reside within Aaun. 

     

    Star of Saint Lothar; for those who performed a miraculous action in battle to save the unit from dire circumstances, the highest of military awards. 100 minas.

     

    Embroidered Cross of Saint Felder; a golden cross embroidered with various gems for those who performed extreme acts of heroism in accomplishment of a military goal or objective. 50  minas.

     

    Ruby Bracer; an engraved ruby medallion awarded to soldiers for drawing first blood in an engagement. 25 minas.

     

    Pin of Justice; a polished iron pin with a depiction of a sun and its gleaming rays forming the top of it, awarded for those who have successfully detained a criminal and seen that justice is delivered to them. 15 minas.

     

    Tears of Saint Daniel; a silver bracelet engraved with a depiction of enemy fortifications, awarded to the first soldier to charge. 15 minas.

     

    The Hand of Iron; a steel medal depicting a hand awarded for gathering the weekly materiel quotas. 10 minas.

     

    Saint Andrik’s Sword; a metal brooch in the shape of a blade awarded for each individual kill acquired by a soldier during battle. 5  minas.
