[[ Fixed, sorry about that. :)

=The Order’s History= The Order of the White Rose is anything but old, they do not hold deep roots within Aegis, nor do they start back since the beginning of time. Starting first within Asulon, it had all began from the ideas of a Commander, his brother, and two close friends. An Order that will abide by the rules of the church, all while protecting the sanctity of the Empire and the holiness of the Race of Man. The official Order however, had not formed till much after the idea was first created. This was due in-part of the Renatus’ nobility’s constant rejection of the idea and being able to come to fruition. Thankfully, the Chivay family had come into nobility, finally allowing them the power to create this Order under themselves and allowing the recruitment of a few former friends and allies. The Orders current holdings include, The Barony of Fort Boot, as well as the Barony of Rivia. Both Baronies are equally as important to the Order, as both hold significant importance to the Order’s beginnings and operating. With many more stories to be told, the Order continues to grow in popularity, as well as military significance. Finally being based out of the Barony of Rivia, the Order seeks to gain true status within the Holy Oren Empire and is actively seeking recruits that are both well able'ed fighters and healers. After much time in Rivia the Order of the White Rose began to grow, a few years of experience under their belt, a never ending drive for power, and the need for more than what was currently available drove the Order to their full potential. Further conflict with the Dead Knights began to give a name to the Order of the Rose, now considered much greater fighters than first thought. Now granted another Barony within the Kingdom of Solace, the Order saw fit to build themselves yet another fortress, one they could fight this new found enemy in. However, it was short lived, the Dread Knights seemed to had disappeared and the Order was victorious. Though this did not mark the end of the Order's uncountable conflicts. As with great power, comes great jealousy. And the surrounding lands were filled with grief and the need to find a scapegoat. Later now down the road, the Roses were finally feeling a true sense of power. Still within the County of Ildon the Roses reigned supreme. No one dared mess with their liege Lord Artorus and they were happy to protect. That was until a tempting offer befell the Grand Master and his council. One that would put the Rose even higher on the food chain, yet remove them from the place that they have come to call home. This being the buying of a land named Ceru, a massive fortress once owned by the very being that the Roses hated, the Elves. [WIP] =The Order Tenets= 1. An Order Member must show complete loyalty to the Order and its ideals. Any member who shows disloyalty will receive a swift execution. 2. An Order Member may never take the life of another member. To do so will result in immediate execution. 3. An Order Member may never steal from another member. To do so will result in banishment from the Order, with all possessions stripped. 4. An Order Member must believe wholeheartedly in the true God, and his creation of Horen and the world. Lack of faith within an Order Member will result in banishment from the Order, with all possessions stripped. 5. An Order Member must never use God’s name in vain, or talk of God with ill intentions. To do so will result in banishment, with all possessions stripped. =Religious Devotion= In addition to this ranking structure, EVERY Order member must attend a private and public mass each Elven Week, or risk exile from the Order and stripped of all possessions formerly owned by the Order Member. A public mass consists of no less than one other Order Member, and must be performed in a chapel or external altar. [ The order's current chapel is under construction, so this rule is slightly more lenient then it should be, at the moment. Though, we do tend to go to mass just to create more RP. ] http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/46879-law/ =Ranking Structure of the Order of the White Rose= -SENIOR COMMAND- Grand Master This office is for life, and the Grand Master is in charge of the entire Order, worldwide. A Grand Master may retire, but for the most part, dying was the only way out of the job, as resigning from such a position would be a black stain on their honor. Master and Commander The Master and Commander is the local commander in charge of the commandery — a small Order stronghold. He has complete command in the field. -HIGH COMMAND- Marshal The Marshal is in charge of the Order’s main forces during times of war. He is very much a military man, and the Grand Master would usually consult with him before making any final decisions on tactics. The Marshal is a rank that is only held during war, he may be a Knight, Senior Knight, Standard Bearer, Master and Commander, or even the Grand Master himself. Under-Marshal The Under-Marshal is in charge of all arms and horses, as well as the secondary commander to the Marshal, and more often is given a smaller task force apart from the main Order force. As well as this, the Under-Marshal is tasked with the logistical duties of keeping a military force equipped and fed. The Under-Marshal is a rank only held in wartime, he may be a Knight, Senior Knight, or Standard Bearer. Standard Bearer Also called the Confanonier, the Standard Bearer is in charge of the Footmen. He is their paymaster, their disciplinarian, and the man who checked over their very important work of keeping the knights’ horses and weapons in good order. He doesn’t actually “bear the standard” in battle — he marches in front of the banner and leads his marching column. The Standard Bearer is equal in rank to the Senior Knight. Senior Knight The Senior Knight is the advisor to the Master and Commander, as well as the acting captains in both the field and at home. The Senior Knight’s duty is to manage the Order’s lands properly during peacetime, ensuring safe travel and a sufficient amount of food being supplied to the keep and surrounding area. In times of war, the Senior Knights are the inspirational leaders, able to rally Order troops to fight on under insurmountable odds. The Senior Knight is able to appoint a Squire to attend to his personal needs. Similar to that, the a Senior Knight must be knighted officially by the Holy Oren Empire. Knight The Knight is the acting lieutenant in the field, able to command over a detachment of Sergeants and Footmen with ease. The Knights are also personal advisors to the Senior Knights, and are able to take on a Squire for the Knight’s own personal needs, like caring for his arms and armor. This Knight must also be a Knight of the Holy Oren Empire, in-order to maintain this rank. Sergeant The Sergeant is the grizzled Order soldier, proven time and time again of their dedication and devotion to the Order, by either means of battle or administration. The Sergeants are usually at the center of any Order battle line, and their driving experience is able to inspire Order members all around them, pushing them to extremities. The Sergeant is the last rank a lowborn may achieve. Advancing to Knight rank requires squireship. -ENLISTED ORDER MEMBERS- Man-at-arms The Man-at-arms are the backbone of the Order’s military forces. The Man-at-arms are instructed by the Standard Bearer, making up the main battle line, the Men-at-arms is the rank-and-file soldier of the Order, who follows orders willingly and obediently. The Man-at-arms is to respect every member of the High and Senior Command, and must refuse to contradict their orders in a public setting. If a critique is absolutely necessary, the Man-at-arms may request a private audience. Footman The Footman is the lowest form of the Order’s military, and is considered a recruit in the eyes of the Order, and will either be trained by the Standard Bearer, or through a personal apprenticeship with a Men-at-arms or Sergeant. Much like the Men-at-arms, the Footman must obey and respect the High and Senior Command of the Order, and no private audience on critique is to be granted. -SPECIALIZED RANKS- Seneschal The Seneschal is tasked with all matters involving the treasury, and is also expected to lead most civil construction projects, as well as maintaining the lands of the Order however he sees fit. Medical Assistant This rank is tasked with performing the medical tasks of the Order, while staying out of direct combat. Similar to that, they will still be close to the battle however, and are expected to be able to handle the horrors of war. Disciplinary The Disciplinary is tasked with upholding and maintaining the highest form of discipline within the Enlisted ranks of the Order. They are the prioritized man who will issue most lashings and other disciplinary actions at the consent of a High Command or on his own accord. The Disciplinary is to be well respected within the Enlisted ranks, and will not hesitate to lay down a gauntlet of fear and organization to achieve a rank-and-file professional force. Quartermaster The Quartermaster is tasked with the proper maintenance of all miltiary supplies that come with being a battle-hardened Order. The Quartermaster has a level head and an eye for organization, and is the man to see for non-standard weapon or armour requisitions. The Quartermaster will also work closely with the Seneschal of the Order to help keep proper records and avoid confusion. [[ OOC Note for Order Recruitment: In-order to join the Order, I ask that you send a private message to Velwyn Ashford or Thomas Chivay (On the forums) to let them know that you are interested. After-such, they will ask you a series of questions they feel are necessary, and will tell you if we can take you into the Order at that time. An application may be put up, however I feel that IC recruitment is a much better tool and more realistic.

Canned beans are your only friend in DayZ, bro. Trust me.

Accepted!

Under review.

The application that follows is to become apart of the royal family. You would become a direct descendant of one of the noted members in the Jahvid family lineage, as well as joining our society. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them in a PM conversation. :)

-The Jahvid Dynasty- As you stroll throughout the Subudai encampment, you set your eyes on a rather curious cluster of pavilions towards the edge of camp. The pavilions themselves are quite distinctive, having sharp, well-defined contours, the top coming to a point. The lofty pavilions appear several heads taller than the yurts of the Mongolian Kotan, lacking any use of animal hide in the construction. Various stripes trail down the woolen tent, being comprised of different colors; the vibrant hues give the tent a striking appearance. As you draw near the central pavillion, conversation breaks the silence lingering about the immediate area. A small group of men and women is seen inside, speaking amongst themselves; some wear simplistic, white robes, others donning clothing with intricate patterns. One of the men notices you, rising as he beckons for you to step inside. He directs you to an open pillow, offering a jar as you are seated; it contains a clear liquid, quite similar to water, though it bears the strong fragrance of roses, a wonderful compliment to the fine aroma the incense orbs burning above emanate throughout the pavilion. You exchange looks with the man, taking in his physical appearance. His black, curly hair trails down to his shoulders, his face covered by a light beard. Much like his associates he wears a simple, wool robe, bound tight by a leather belt. He takes his a seat as the others continue to converse, brushing his robes off. “Greetings traveler, and welcome to the pavilions of the Jahvids. I am Jalali Rastgu Jahvid...it is a pleasure to be your host, stranger.” You exchange formalities with Jalali, the conversation slowly trailing off into the night. As the sun peeks behind the horizon, Jalali rises, offering you some dried fruits and water for the trip. Farewells are exchanged as you set off, resuming your travels once more. (Jahvid History) The Culture Of The Jahvid Collective The Jahvid tribe is one of the most culturally enriched Kotans in the Subudai, and take great pride in their culture, which is comprised of a well-mannered and encouraging people, able to produce the finest wares in all of Asulon, some could say. The Jahvids have the closest relation to that of Persian and Parthian culture, and often take the time to finely decorate everything they produce, whether it be clothing, pavilions, or even their arms and armor. As well as being a foreign and oriental in culture, the Jahvids also take great pride in their appearance and attitude, always greeting a stranger with a polite greeting, and patronizing great works of art and the like. A core part of Jahvid culture is also to hold social gatherings, welcoming almost anyone to their banquets and parties, all hosted in their largest tent, the Feasting tent. A Jahvid is always looking to impress their guests, and will more often than not go out of their way to accommodate the needs of their guests, for the sake of the Jahvid’s own reputation. Along with this social and respectful attitude, the Jahvids also crave knowledge, always willing to learn, and making no mistake to document anything new they hear of. And, due to their foreign culture, they have often been isolated from the rest of the races and cultures, and strive to record any details they may find of these “Strangers like them”. This approach to learning often brings a Jahvid forward as a questioning one, always asking for more and never truly content with their findings, for hopes of there being more to acquire. Class Structure The Jahvids have developed a simplistic class system in the tribe, capable of differentiating a tribal’s specific skill, and speaking to the right person for the right request. This class system is divided by color, and each high ranking member (Satraps) of the class is required to wear an amulet signifying their status. The simplistic class structure is explained below, and each class is equally important, with no class outweighing the other. The Artisans: The main craftsmen of the tribe, the Artisans are the most skilled in producing fine colored fabric, as well as any non-military needs the tribe may need. The Artisans also are the hosts of most social gatherings, and can also be seen documenting the tribe’s culture and findings, archiving its history as the tribe progresses. The Artisans’ color is orange. The Diplomats: The Diplomats are the eyes and ears of the Jahvids, capable of opening and closing relations with other tribes and establishing alliances or agreements with foreigners. The Diplomats are the most level-headed of the Jahvids, and are well respected for their well-mannered behavior to almost anyone they meet. The Diplomats’ color is blue. The Warriors: The self-explanatory title describes it all. The Warriors are the main military arm of the Jahvids, each capable of defending the camp to the death if need be. The Warriors are also able to construct and maintain logistical support of military equipment in the tribe, allowing a swift and deadly Jahvid force, willing to launch an impeccably fast raid, or mount a hasty defense of a particular area. The Warriors’ color is green. The ‘Wise Men’: The Wise Men are the spiritual leaders of the Jahvids, and guide the tribe through its daily prayer in more often a congregation, as all Jahvids are expected to be somewhat independent with their religion. When not leading in prayer, the Wise Men are also the cultivators, and even alchemists of Jahvid lands, capable of planting crops able to withstand the desert heat or whip up an alchemic remedy for an ill tribesman. The Wise Men’s’ color is brown. *As well as having these four class colors, the color red is also reserved for the Satraps, or the tribal heads of the Jahvids, who convene regularly to discuss tribal dealings, both current and future. (Language of the Jahvids) :Jahvid Family Lineage: -First Generation- Generation Summary: Under Belshazzar the first Jahvid tribe was formed, acting as the sole leader, he led the Jahvids to create their first settlement within the desert. However, not doing much in terms of reforms, Belshazzar died with a single son under the name Farshid Jahvid. During Belshazzar's reign, the Jahvids had sailed across the void to Asulon. Belshazzar Jahvid - First Jahvid Satrap (Deceased) Salru Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Katruna Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) | -Second Generation- Gereration Summary: With Farshid the new Satrap, the Jahvid dynasty began to grow. More and more members came each day, Farshid new at some point he alone would not be able to lead the tribe, heading a new reform, Farshid proposed that the duties of Satrap be split into two entities. Warrior and artisan. However, before this split could happen, Farshid died from a strange illness, leaving the next generation to heed his wishes. Farshid Jahvid - Second Jahvid Satrap (Deceased) Ho'taro Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Al'chari Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Dar'fin Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Kaltar'o Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Xerzerous Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) | -Third Generation- Generation Summary: With Farshid gone, his son Azar tended to his wishes, giving his friend and ally Seljuq, the spot of the Artisan Satrap. Reforms continued to happen within the tribe, before finally forming a structured class system. Similar to that, a Jahvid religion began to surface as times of peace continued to flow throughout the tribe. Azar Jahvid - First Warrior Satrap (Deceased) Seljuq Jahvid - First Artisan Satrap (Deceased) Xerzerou'l Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Llyas Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) Jafar Jahvid - Jahvid Family Member (Deceased) | -Fourth Generation- Generation Summary: Now the current generation of Jahvids, Azar and Seljuq passed on their satrap rank to their sons; Borya ibn Azar and Darius ibn Seljuq. With the forth generation came the joining of the Subudai into Jahvid life. War and many other aspects limited the wide spread of the Jahvids, however, as time goes on, more history will unfold.

Commander Peter nails a notice outside the barracks of Riven, stepping back, and reading the words out loud to himself to assure their correctness. "Any and all Riven guardsmen are to report to Commander Chivay as soon as possible. If you fail to contact Commander Chivay within an Elven week, you will be stripped of your rank, armament, and bunk." [[ OOC note: This is an activity check, if you wish to remain a guardsman, send me a PM or RP with me in-game. I will be making a new roster, as well as Recruitment board ]] The commander nods after reading the note aloud, flipping his visor back down, and clanking off.

Sounds fun, should also be good with this plague milling about. Maybe you'll need some extra security to make sure they don't get in ;). But in all seriousness, I support this. I heard the last masquerade was a blast.
