The order strives for Honor and strength in order to defeat it’s less honorable opponents in any kind of defense. Ranks Grand Commanders: The Brotherhood of Northmen often feel that one person’s sole power over an order can often lead to poor or tyrannical decision making. This has lead to Three Grand Commanders typically being in charge, they all have complete control over the order but before making large decisions must come to a mutual agreement. Typically they will work together to strategize what their men will do in the next battle, raid or defense. Grand Commanders are expected to be the bravest of the Order and should lead the initial charge at the front lines. Commander: The Commanders are next in command, they need to be well organized, skilled in battle, and great at listening to commands. Commanders usually have a few Sergeant and their cohorts under them. Commanders may also sit in Grand Commander council meetings and give input, and they are expected to take control for one of the Grand Commanders as their second should one die or betray the order’s cause. Sergeant: Sergeants are the bulk of the leadership in the Order. They typically have three to six people below them that they must command in battle to allow them to better manage men on the field, this unit is known as a cohort. A sergeant must also be good at listening to commands. Officer: An Officer is responsible for making sure un-oathed members of the Order are properly trained and ready for their Oathing process. They must also take the position of Acting Sergeant should their Sergeant die in battle. For this reason they must be trained by a sergeant before becoming an official Officer. Man-At-Arms: A Man-at-arms has proven that they are better than the average soldier in both fighting and listening to orders. Typically they are next in line to become an officer and most sergeants are showing them the ropes to see if they'll be a capable leader. Footman: A footman is the main bulk of the Order. They have been oathed to protect North Oren with all of their lives and should never abandon the cause. A footman must be used to following orders and is expected to help the order in any way he can. Un-Oathed: Un-Oathed soldiers are not yet official members of the Order, and in their trial time period are to be trained to be fit for battle and tested for their loyalty. Sometimes being Un-Oathed may be a little rough, but it is necessary to prove that a solider is worthy to become a full member of the order. Speciality Ranks: Knight: The Brotherhood is not a knightly order, but as a military order of Oren its members may be recognized for deeds of valor in defense of the Kingdom. To be a Knight in the order is to have the highest military honor of the Kingdom, and is a respect to be coveted.
