The Lord Marshal of the BSK, Hieran Melphestaus, reads over the collection as he sits at court alongside his guards. "Oh? These Colborns...they have one of the greatest dynasty rallies in the Brotherhood. Certainly a family to be kept an eye on...I wonder if the King is aware of all their successes." He hums to himself, marking the gear onto his treasury roster.

Lord Marshal Hieran Melphestaus receives the news from an oathedman the next morning. It spoke of victories for NATO, and as part, a large BSK rally force. "Ah, to be on the right side of a war. Let us hope that no more blood of the men I called comrades is spilt - but I shall do what I must." The ker then sends the Oathedman off with a crisp salute to one of many a fine soldier of the BSK.

The Lord Marshal of the BSK strokes his chin. Once a General of the Imperial Legion, Hieran Melphestaus contemplates the impending war. "One thing is certain - this is not their war. Nor Elysiums. The side with those who pillaged them?" He takes decade old missives and flicks around the pages. "I have been on the wrong side once before. Let us hope no more make that mistake."

Lord Marshal Hieran Melphestaus places a half made cup of tea aside as he steps to greet the Lord Treasurer to be informed on the news. "Oh? I put the teabag in when they left...that was quick and easy..."

The Lord Marshal of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl shakes the hand of Grand Marshal Sigrun Ireheart as he draws his azhl bade - ETHERALI - in preparation for the fight ahead.

The Lord Marshal of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl chuckles as he moves his eye over the missive. "Well Brothers." The Ker states "To war. We give them hell."

THE BROTHERHOOD EXPEDITION INTO THE UNKNOWN. FITSK DLUM ZE BIRODAL Issued by the OFFICE OF THE MARSHAL On this 7th day of Gronna Ag Droba of 432 E.S. VE VA BORSAZEN It was last Saints Day in which the Brotherhood of Saint Karl reacted to a threat, brought to the army's attention by the Knights Order. A task force of brothers and sisters were organised to resist and investigate the dark force while gathering information for a second assault. Led by Lord Marshal Hieran Melphestaus and Lieutenant Markov, the royal soldiers of Haense embarked their force into the woods of Krusev and its silent ruins. The task force - composed of soldiers armed with aurum weaponry, marched slowly into the undergrowth as a blanket of darkness and fear overtook each one in turn. Voices barked through the whistling howls of the frost bitten wind. Voices familiar to only one member - Barley Wick. This creature of the knight spoke of 2 daughters, lost and stolen. And the abilities of this voice did not conceal itself to its entirety. An Oathedman - Felyx Colborn - found himself to be overtaken by an urge of uneasiness against Wick - speaking lies that he was the true monster - and I cannot say it didn't cross all our minds. Eventually, the force reached an old bridge at which they took up a circle formation - holding their weapons drawn and held strong. The voice like daggers to the mind stood relentless - but only for so long. Armsman Barley Wick was able to provoke it with words of the daughters while the other soldiers beckoned for a fight - and so sprung forth the first assault. Enraged by the torment, the being made its first move. With power only seen in that of a dark mage, the ground began to erupt skeletal forms. First one, then two, then a dozen soldiers stood before us. A mirrored mirage of dead Brothers and Sisters stood opposite the bridge, swords drawn as ours were. Ready to fight, as we were. Within an instant, the Brotherhood had claimed a defensive position over the bridge - a choke point in which only one or two could pass at a time. But alas, the creature's ability did not cease there. For yet another identical force sprung from the ground in the east - staring down the guards from the dark mist. And with such, the battle of old to new commenced. The fight was bloodier than any skirmish. Outnumbered and overwhelmed - the soldiers held their ground to allow the exhausted Colborn to escape. But it soon became clear that a task force was nothing to the might of an undead army. For corpse struck down - yet another took its place. Beaten back and heavily outnumbered, the Marshal ordered a full retreat - allowing every member of the task force to leave the forest completely unscathed. The information required had been gathered - and this was no loss in their eyes. Each soldier of the BSK remains to stand tall against the threat of evil, and this shall not be the end of their fight.

The are split into 3 aspects: Practical Combat, Swordsman training and the BSK’s military operations within the city. The divisions are made up of the Officer Cadet core in order to carry out the correct duties for their Commanding Officer. MASTER OF THE WARDENSHIP The Master of the Brawl oversees the practical combat areas of the Brotherhood's yearly roster. Led by an Officer, these Cadets are responsible for leading the BSK out on practical combative expeditions in the lands of Haense. This may be an organised attack or a Brotherhood wide reaction to an unholy force. The soldiers that align themselves under the Master of the Wardenship are named ’Wardens’ of the BSK. - MASTER OF THE SABRE The Master of the Sabre is responsible for the combative training of the BSK. Responsible for organising large scale skirmishes, The Master of the Sabre has the authority to set up international skirmishes as well as field battles with Haense’s auxiliary reserves.

Among these duties is an initiates oath hunt - to make sure they find themselves as an Oathedmen of the Brotherhood. Those also responsible for this upkeep are named the Huntsmen.

From ages 5 - 14, children may join as cadets where, while they may not fight real threats, are trained in the ways of a soldier before undertaking a career when they come of age. The Officer Cadet who commands them is responsible for ensuring that by the time of full enlistment as an initiate, each cadet has all the required skills to take an Oath Hunt.

The Lord Marshal of Haense - One aged Ker named Hieran Melphestaus sits within his office, treating a gash from a recent skirmish. From his desk, he retrieves a folder. This one named - 'The Ebonwood Principatus.' With a chuckle to a solitary tear the man reads through missives and letters. From 'The municipality of Ephesius' to the 'Disbandment of Ebonwood.' The thoughts of Minuvas, Tarathiel - so many brothers and sisters lost over the years. And of course.... "Veronna...I wonder what she's up to now...."

A WARNING FROM THE LORD MARSHALS OFFICE FITSK DLUM ZE BIRODAL Issued by the OFFICE OF THE MARSHAL On this 9th day of Joma and Umundof 430 E.S. VE VA BORSAZEN It is on this grave day that I, Lord Marshal of Haense, bring a warning to its people. Citizens of Karosgrad, Brothers and sisters of the BSK, knights of the order - it appears a beast roams our King's lands. A report filed by Ser Walton was presented to my person on this day, containing a detailed description of the events passed merely hours before. They detail as follows: Carried by Haeseni winds, howls and barks quickly crossed the fields of Haense. Accompanied - heard only when entering the forest -a young girl screaming that rings out like a bell through the quiet undergrowth. Upon further investigation, Ser Walton of the order found himself faced with a solitary ruined house - ridden with bones and ash of origin we can only ponder. Within a step - the events I warn you of occurred. Tree roots leaped fourth - erupting from the ground in an attempt to drag the noble knight to the ground. As they did so, the girls' scream morphed itself into a witches wail upon the air. Ser Walton escaped with valour and prestige - but the threat remains. No citizen of Haense is to venture to the forests of the Kingdom alone for they are not safe. The Brotherhood of Saint Karl and the Knights of Haense are to launch a counter attack to vanquish this dark matter that dares threaten the king's lands. Regardless of this, the ruling stands ground, as does its warning. These woods are not safe - not yet. The Kingdom shall not lose life to such a devil ridden creature. [!] Above is sketched a ruined house as detailed, though painted in a neutral light. IV JOVEO MAAN His Excellency, Hieran Melphaestus Lord Marshal of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl

The Lord Marshal of the BSK presents the missive to his soldiers, his blade 'Etherali' drawn and held high as he sets out his orders for the Brotherhood to begin the hunting season. "May the best soldier win. "

Hieran also ponders.

Hieran Melphestaus strokes his chin as he reads over the missive. "Oh? Discounts and free food..." He moves to place the parchment on his desk. "I suppose I best make the Brotherhood aware."

THE BROTHERHOOD OATH HUNT OF 430 E.S. FITSK DLUM ZE BIRODAL Issued by the OFFICE OF THE MARSHAL On this 6th day of Jula and Piov of 430 E.S. VE VA BORSAZEN On this spring day of Jula and Piov, just as the Rimeveld blizzards abated enough for men and women to brave the northern cold, the Brotherhood of Saint Karl held its traditional Oath Hunt, so that the Initiate Class of 430 E.S. would undergo the trial that countless of their forebears had to prove themselves worthy of joining the Brotherhood proper. This Initiate Class - composed of Mydher [@Mydher], Vanhart “the Carrot” Barclay [@Xarkly], Reinhardt Barclay the Second [@Guzr], and Prince Sergei Aleksandr [@Coolcod77] - decked in fur and Brotherhood mail, ventured into the fringes of the Rimeveld to hunt the grizzly bears that dwell there, as the traditional Oath Hunt demands. It did not take the four men long to find a duo of bears feasting on the corpse of a slain Dulk, just north-east of Otistadt, the seat of House Ludovar. After some brief strategizing not quite characteristic of a future war tactician, the Initiates split into three groups - Lord Vanhart and Lord Reinhardt hid themselves behind an ice spike to strike the bears from behind, Prince Sergei loaded his crossbow to strike from afar, while Mydher took the opposite flank. After the Prince missed his shot and alerted the bears to their presence, the Initiates had to improvise. After the Prince was set upon, Lord Reinhardt came to his aid with Katerina Cardinal Jorenus - who was on standby as a medic - while Lord Vanhart, struck at first by fear, joined forces with Mydher to take on the second bear. In the course of the battle that followed, Lord Reinhardt was knocked unconscious by a fell swing from a bear, while Prince Sergei suffered a deep cut, but the Class prevailed and slew the two bears. After returning to the city with minor injuries save for the Prince’s cut - which was promptly stitched by the Cardinal - King Karl III himself was present as Mydher, Lord Vanhart, Lord Reinhardt, and Prince Sergei knelt before the icon of Saint Karl, and recited the Brotherhood Oath to mark their entry as full soldiers.
