THE WHITE RIDERS The Gentleman Corps of Knights and Freeriders of the Crownlands The Army upon the Dogger Bay, 1561 by Richard Calvely EXORDIUM ON HUMANITY Upon the Nature of Humanity “Thou standest before Me in the waters of Gamesh, Owyn, son of Godwin, son of Horen. And thy people cry for justice and for purity. Takest hold of this blade, for it is a symbol of holiness, and by it thou shalt cleanse man of sin.” Owyn 7:2 From the laurel crown crafted by God’s own hand, lain upon the solemn head of his chosen son, the Tribe of Horen and His sons have destined to lay dominion upon the lands breeching every horizon. From the sweltering deserts, to the desolate of peaks, the world marks as humanity’s manifest destiny, to steward to the world as His chosen. Through sword and holy word, humanity cleanses the sin of the world, rooting the corruption and devilry granted by Iblees’ most unholy betrayal. The Tribe of Horen supplants order in the chaos-ridden wastes, delivers justice to the wild realm, and protects the pure from the impious. Horen gave us unifying blood, Owyn gave us the Holy Ambition, Godfrey: the binding order and tradition, and Sigismund, wisdom and clairvoyance in the sight of impurity. Through the Saints, we strive to become the pious, through the Blessed, we see the courage of humanity, and through the Martyrs, we are filled with the fire of passion and faith. Humanity is, through faith, piety, and valor, the masters and stewards of the mortal world; sheriffing the lands in the name of God and wiping away the evils of false gods and dark arts. And through our tireless work, humanity is granted which no other mortal race is given: the keys to the Seven Skies and to stand with He who made us. THE GENTLEMEN OF THE BAND The Bastard and the Urchin, 1565 by Louis du Polis THE KNIGHTS The Knights, the chief warriors of the band, are men renown for their skill in equestary, fighting almost exclusively while on horseback. Having been taught as Squires how to properly ride in such a way to make a lance effective. Also being experienced in using their swords once a lance has broken on the enemies that they’ve charged into, not ceasing to fight until their enemy is done. THE CAVALIERS The Cavaliers, those who make up the majority of the band, are a vital piece of the White Riders. Blazing across the landscape with their brothers-in-arms, it is they who march the riders’ eternal message across the lands of man and beyond. Without the membership of the cavalier majority, the band would lose its shape, and eventually dissolve into nothingness. THE UNMOUNTED From the young and old, to the experienced to the green-blooded, the unmounted are the bulk of recruits and new-arrivals, not yet tested to amongst the White Riders and their jovial brothers. They are to train and to follow the example of their peers, to gain the trust of their superiors to eventually be given the greatest honor: the spurs and white cloak to ride as a brother amongst the cavaliers and knights.
