I forgot to mention, but it seems you are needing one, I am a very experienced cook. (lvl 90)

((who should i message to take me to Glenwood?))

Name ((With MC))- Marcus Gladiarum ((bitewhite)) Race ((With Subrace)) - Human- Northerner Age - 23 Where do you live and come from? - I come from no where in particular as I've lived a mostly nomadic life. I've was hired as a guard for a merchant caravan so I've traveled and lived all through Asulon. A couple of small sentences about yourself - I have a long history of being a warrior and that really been my only profession. I served in the White Ravens for a while and then I joined the Knights of Horen. I served as a squire to Ser William Baldwin until he was killed rather mysteriously and he actually left it in his will for me to be tried for knighthood but I was unable to due to, well, extenuating circumstances. Why do you wish to join The Guardians - I've always been a fighter but I have never made a real attatchment to any organization so I view the Guardians as an organization I can dedicate my work to rather than just random guard positions. What do you wish to achieve in this guild? What are your goals? - I would like to achieve an established position among the guild and I would also like the oppurtunity to show my combat strength. Do you swear to protect the people and your brothers, with your very own life? - I will gladly swear my life to those who would do the same for me. Do you swear an oath by Aeriel, that you will not break The Code of The Guardians? - I swear that I will not break the code of the guardians. Any useful skills that you can master? ((Post your skill points)) I'm mostly experienced as a swordsman (155) but I will gladly learn any skills that are needed of me. Any other information that might come in handy - I have some extra building materials if that would be a help to you.

I am a squire to Ser Baldwin if you would like to add me to the list.

Does that include my application? I posted it before the formation of the biumvirate and I expressly stated that Oren was in a state of change. My loyalty will reside with the knights, I will support whichever king the knights support.

Sir William Baldwin, I am honored by your offer and most graciously accept the oppurtunity to bear your colours as your squire. ((I'll contact you ig, I usually hang around Galahar))

Has my application been denied? I don't want to bother anyone but I will apply elsewhere if you are not seeking recruits.

OOC minecraft Account Name: bitewhite Age: 17 TimeZone: CST In charater! Name: Marcus Gladiarum Age: 27 Race: Human. More specifically, I am a northerner. What Wepaon do ye Prefer: I was raised to wield an axe but I have since come to prefer a blade. (lvl 30) I am also confident with a bow but, if i can, I prefer to fight up close and personal. Have you Ever been arrested: Nay, I don't think I have even broken the law. I am a child of the wilderness, most of my life wasn't even spent under the protection of the law. Name some battle ye have been in: Regretably, I have not been involved in any noteworthy or large scale battles. I have spent little of my life involved with the political affairs that usually accompany such battles. I understand if this is a factor to dissuade my recruitment but I urge you to look elsewhere to determine my character. Name the King and Knight Commander: The Knight Commander is Sir Robert Banstir. As for the king, I would normally say Enor Sheffield but it appears that this is now not the case. I have now seen a few different individuals claiming the crown ((there was athread about Gaius from the black cross claiming the crown)) and I have seen evidence of uprisings. During just the last elven day, I saw many signs reading "The Phoenix is Rising" and I was told that there was revolution afoot. I have no stake in these affairs though so please forgive my confusion on this issue. Anything esle we need or should know about ye: I have also applied to the Oren Military, please take note that I will prefer the position of Page to the position of Guard Recruit. I know my combat skills are as of now, relatively untested but I belive that, given the oppurtunity, I will prove my valor and honour to more than meet your threshold. Open ended Questions The Knight commander has been taken hostage by the Black hand! there are three of them two in full iron armor with a an iron blade and a bigger one with Dimaond armor and a Dimaond blade it is only you and another page but there might be a knight around What will you do?: With the current numbers of me and a page, I think an attack would likely be a futile waste of resources. The first priority must be to increase our numbers so I would send one page out to find the knight and I would also examine any other options that we might have for reinforecements. If the we are able to gather reinforcements, I would then begin a full assault by leading the swordsmen into battle while any archers cover us. If, however, we are not able to gather reinforcements, I would take a primarily diplomatic stance. IT is important to realize that, while it may provide them some satisfaction of killing the Knight Commander and spreading chaos, they will simultaneously be writing their own death sentence. However, seeing as we are dealing with criminals not likely to succumb to negotiation, I would be forced to make an attack regardless of the odds. In agreement with the rule "You must never retreat, always to the Death," me and my fellow page would try our best to kill the dark brotherhood members or die a valiant death. A group 6 of bandits are heading to Galahar to attack it as the Town of the knights you must defend it! The Knight Commander is not around all you can manage is 3 pages and a squire of the Anvil Path knight who can supply the other pages and yeself with arms and armor, Two pages are offerin to head to Alkhazar to get help What do you do?: It is not neccesary to have two pages sent for the same task so I would send one to get help from other organizations (the Q says Al'Khazar bu I'm assuming this is no longer applicable). While the page is off summoning reinforcements, I woudl make an effort to fully evacuate the town and build what defensive structures I can. I would have two of the pages arms themselves with bows and then station them in a tower where they can pick off the bandits and then I along with the the squire and remaining page, would face the bandits with the cold edge of our steel.

((pardon my idiocy, I have found the page recruitment thread and posted my app))

How does one go about becoming a page? I was a lumberjack for a while near Winterfell but seeing as I am displaced, I have been seeking a new and more noble path.

[MCname] : bitewhite [Time-Zone] : CST [How much time you can be online per day] : I will be on for a couple of hours during weekdays and much more during weekends. [How long have you been on the server for?] : Almost three months now. [Do you have and use TS? If no then will you be able to?] I have a mic but I don't have teamspeak set up. If I am accepted I will set up teamspeak. Name : Marcus Your Race : Human. More specifically a northerner Your Age : 27 Your Experience : I served as a guard for the guild The White Ravens but otherwise the majority of my experience comes from fighting monsters in the wild. Describe Yourself : I am a Northerner originally from the Wildewyn forests but I left those forests long ago. I was a lumberjack by profession for a while but I sought something more adventurous but I haven't really found a fully professional, organized and honorable organization to join but I am quite impressed with the Oren Military and I would be honored to be counted amongst their ranks. Why should we recruit you? : It is difficult for me to express the content of my character in this applicaiton but I can assure you that I will serve Oren loyally any way I can. Whether on gate duty or fighting the Undead, I will put forth my full effort. I will follow the oreders of my superiors and will defend the interests of the people of Oren and I am sure that, given the oppurtunity, I would prove this to be the case. What are your strengths? Weaknesses? : I am a decent swordsman and a strong warrior. I am a dedicated public servant and am able to communicate with the public and resolve disputes. I also have extensive experience with lumberjacking and have decent background in blacksmithing. My weaknesses include rather weak archery skills and I am blind in one eye (due to a childhood accident). Do you know how to handle a weapon? [sword/Axe Skill Level] : My father loosely trained me to use a sword as a child but I haven't had formal training. I also previously served as a guard where I wielded a sword with decent skill. (lvl 30) My axe skills don't really extend beyond lumberjacking so I prefer to fight with a sword. Ambitions For The Future? : I wish to fulfill a noble and glorious military career. I also wish to make an impact on Oren through public service whether settling domestic disputes or fighting Oren's enemies. I wish to serve Oren and protect Oren from enemies foreign and domestic. What would your character do in the following situation. :A group of bandits are camped on the Kings Road. Ordering a toll for passing. Its only you and two other recruits on duty. You decide to grab some armour and head out there. What do you do? [+Points For Thinking About It And Being More, Tactical] : I would first begin by anylizing intelligence at hand by listening to the reports of the citizens who were stopped by the bandits to determine the number of bandits and there armaments. To further confirm this intelligence I would also either scout out the bandits myself or send a recruit out to do it. If there are more than three well armed bandits and I'm not able to gather reinforcements I would not risk an attack outnumbered and unarmed as it would be a futile loss of resources. Instead of an attack I would assign the recruits to close off the road and not allow any travelers to travers the area where the bandits are known to occupy. By doing this, the bandits would likely lose interest because there are not travelers to rob. I would also send word out to other organizaitons to seek reinforcements as well as attempt to gather up temporary civilian soldiers and, if the attack is safe, I would arrest the bandits.

I am thinking of donating. What exactly is gained by donators? I understand that they are appointed barons but what does that entail?

I'm online right now if you want to meet up. I'l be near your store. Also, I have a fort that I built North of Al'Khazar near Winterfell. You can make it into an outpost if you would like.

MC Name: bitewhite IC Name: Marcus Gladiarum TimeZone (mine is CMT Central Standard Time): central standard Race: I am a human. More specifically I am a Northerner raised in the cold forests near the myanemar forests. Age (In-game): 30 Why should you be in KotW?: I have worked for a very long time as a wandering lumberjack in the harsh northern forests. Such conditions breed tough and valiant soldiers. I wish to participate in a guild that is active in Aegis and I will gladly follow you into battle. I will be a loyal soldier and I will give all that I can to the organization. How often a day can you be on, from when to when?: A couple hours a day from like six to eight but I am not that consistent on weekdays. On weekends I will be on much more. Why do you want to be in KotW?: I wish to participate in an organization that is active in Aegis and will provide me with opportunity to participate in the organization. I also want to be in an organization that has dedicated members and the Knights of the West seems to meet these criteria. What previous battles have you participated in?: I have not participated in any big battles but I am very eager to. With my old guild the White Ravens I participated in some minor fights as a guard. Are you capable of providing armor for yourself in every battle? If so, what kind, be truthful I will check your money (Leather, Chainmail, Iron, Gold, Diamond): I have a full suit of Iron armor along with a diamond sword but given that I join I will not be able to provide the income required to buy more armor. Scenarios: 1. I would not waste time to go get my armor but rather join the battle immediately as the situation seems urgent. I would first drag the injured soldier away seeing as there are some soldiers that could hold the zombies back. Once he is in safety I would join the battle. 2. I would immediately stop the guards but seeing as they outnumber me, it would be foolish for me to engage them at first. I would threaten to report them for their malfeasance but if they do not relent, I would threaten them with the blade of my sword regardless of there numbers. 3. Seeing as their is little chance of me and the two other soldiers defeating the undead my first priority would be to lead us to safety but if I notice any wounded I could help or any other soldiers in need I would disregard the undead. If leaving is not an option then I would fight relentlessly to make sure that my death be a valiant one.

An update: The Northern Campus is now complete although it will likely undergo some renovations in the future. The Scholars of Aegis will open as soon as we get enough applications for membership so that it is worth opening the guild. Once there are enough applications, Department Heads will be chosen and then associates will begin to be accepted. If there are not enough apps in a week or so, we will likely not form the guild.
