The Friars of St. Amyas
Who are the Friars?
We
are the humble friars of the church. Preaching the ways of the Creator
and distributing alms to the poor. We live our lives as humble men, not
being boisterous and not causing trouble. The first mendicant order, we
find the secular clergy too stationery to work to help the poor of the
Empire survive.
What are our goals?
Our
goals are simple, we work towards the betterment of all people. We
shall take those that can no longer care for themselves, provide for
their families, afford shelter and or food under our holy wings in hope
to better their well being. We pledge ourselves to following the tenets
of the faith, to make sure that all may live.
What is our belief?
We
believe in the Doctrine of One. The belief that the Creator is
architect of the universe and progenitor of humankind. He is unique and
inherently one, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent. We believe
that it is a requirement to have a good understanding about the
religion.
Our Ranks:
Master of the Order - Pontiff Adeodatus the First
The
Head of the Entire Order, he makes all major decisions for the order
and is the only one able to ordinance one as a full friar. He is able to
accept members into the order.
Grand Vicar - Edward of Salvus
The
head advisor to the Master of the Order. This man has proven himself as
a worthy friar and is the second in command of the order. Also a scribe
for the Master of the Order, he can also make minor decisions
concerning the order. He is also able to accept members into the order.
Friars - None as of yet
These
men are men sworn into the order. They must preach, hand out donations
to those in poverty, watch over the less fortunate and live a life of
humbleness. Friars rarely stay within a town for a long period of time
and instead journey around the Empire, helping those in need. These men
have taken the vow of the Friars Minor.
Novice - None as of yet
These
aren’t full members of the Order but study to be full friars. These
They are not permitted to wear the grey robes of the friars but can
distribute alms if told to by the Friars. These men have not taken the
vow that is needed to be in the order.
Laymen - None as of yet
Men
who serve the church devoutly but aren’t official members of the Order.
They usually are labourers for the church, they farm, pin up notices
and collect donations. These are simply holy men but not one officially part of the church or clergy. This role cannot be held by a serving
clergyman.
Location-
We have a small abbey within the great duchy of Furnstock, we give thanks to Duke Uthor Silverblade for such generosity and kindness. The perish has a small farm, pigpen and room for cows. We shall make improvements as the order progresses
