  1. Old and gray, broken and crippled, Ser Morgan of Angren lit a candle upon the war's conclusion. An age of strife that had long existed since he himself had only just become a man finally concluded. He hobbled through his hollow hall to place the burning wick on a windowsill, a candle lit for all those he'd known who had perished in that half-century. Stalactites of wax had overtaken the sill, thick as the icicles that had once grown from the eaves of Lemon Hill during its deep freeze. Perhaps the world might thaw with this peace, perhaps it might remain the same. There was some hope, at the very least, for a gate without a gate.

  2. Ser Morgan of Angren crawled out from under the day's slaughter. Blood, viscera; his own and other's caked over his armor. Sitting stop a pile of the carnage, splinting his broken left arm, he spied the corpse of Tonito as it was pulled from the field. Morgan mustered the strength to sign the Lorraine to the fallen Cardinal, a man who had saved him a lifetime ago.

    The Citrine Guard

     

    Established 1948



    “As our village sports no gates so must we be its shield,

     

    As our Clergy wander the world so must we be their cloak,  

     

    As undeath marches upon the land so must we be the gold that banishes evil.”

     

    Mission
    The mission of the Citrine Guard is to first and foremost protect our humble Lemon Hill, its denizens, and the clergy. Be the threat mortal, voidal, undead, or demonic in nature, the Citrine Guard is to stand at the ready for the Hill’s defense. We fight for no King or Kingdom, insteading wielding our blades for GOD.

     


     

    The Chain, the Ranks of the Citrine Guard

    The command of the Citrine Guard is symbolized by a simple iron chain. Each link, whether at the top or bottom, is vital to the overall structure of the organization. Whether one’s rank is that of Grandmaster, the leader of the Citrine Guard, or Recruit, Enlisted or Band of the Flaming Iris, each link must be carefully maintained.

     

    The Band of the Flaming Iris

    The Band of the Flaming Iris houses the knights of the Citrine Guard, men and women trained in the chivalric tradition to keep virtue and the tenants of the organization at heart.


    I. Grandmaster of the Flaming Iris

    The Grandmaster is the overall leader of the Citrine Guard, responsible for commissioning the officers of the Citrine Guard and bestowing spurs upon the worthy. The Grandmaster’s foremost duty is to Lemon Hill, protecting the demesne with their own life if necessary. When a Grandmaster dies or retires, their successor is to be chosen of the Knight-Commanders.

    • Ser Morgan of Angren, 1948 - Present

     

    II. Knight-Commander of the Flaming Iris

    The Knight-Commanders serve as veteran officers of the Citrine Guard, capable of commanding both the Citrine Guard and the knights of the Flaming Iris. In the Chain of Command, they are second only to the Grandmaster.

    • Dame Valda, 1948 - Present

     

    III. Knight of the Flaming Iris

    A knight of the Flaming Iris is to be a seasoned warrior trained in the chivalric tradition. They are to uphold the virtues of their rank at all times, for which they are permitted to bear a coat of arms of their own. In the Chain of Command, they are equivalent to a Man-at-Arms.

     

    Enlisted


    I. Sergeant, colloquially known as the “Lemon Sour”
    Sergeants serve to direct men in battle and maintain discipline in the ranks. They are to be proven soldiers more than capable of commanding their comrades.

     

    II. Man-at-Arms, colloquially known as the “Lemon Head”
    Man-at-Arms serve as the proven veterans of the Citrine Guard, capable of holding their own. May command lower ranks at the behest of a Sergeant or lack thereof.

     

    III. Militiaman, colloquially known as the “Lemon Levy”
    Militiamen are the backbone of the Citrine Guard, drilled and disciplined to be entrusted with the crest of Lemon Hill upon their tabard. Their purpose is to follow the orders of their Sergeant and serve as the mainline infantry of the Citrine Guard.  

     

    IV. Recruit, colloquially known as the “Lemon Drop”
    Recruits are the initial enlisted of the Citrine Guard, to be trained and made into Militiamen within the span of a year.

     

    Billets
    Billets sit outside the traditional chain of command, existing as positions vital to the function and armament of the Citrine Guard. Any soldier may be assigned a billet, regardless of rank.

     

    I. Quartermaster
    The Quartermaster works to ensure that all men are armed, armored, and provisioned within the Citrine Guard, directing the alchemists and blacksmiths to accomplish this goal.

     

    II. Alchemist
    Alchemists work to ensure that alchemical supplies of the Citrine Guard are well stocked and the production of potions and elixirs.

     

    III. Blacksmith
    Blacksmiths work to ensure the Citrine Guard is equipped with proper steel and the maintenance of our arsenal.

    Ser Morgan of Angren recoups from his duel the other eve, sporting a new cut upon the good side of his face. How vile it was that a warrior should be so enthralled by the dark, his foe one of the few living amongst the undead. Morgan murmured a soft prayer for the grisly end he had meted out, for his enemy deserved as much as that.
     

  5. @SanderThe map of races would not reflect the current state of Aeldin, given that the makeup of the continent changes greatly between the differing eras and centuries have passed since a proper update has been made.

     

    With the time that has passed since conquest, the elves and dwarves should be almost, if not entirely, extinct and any mention of their existence being relegated to fairy tales as a majority of histories were rewritten or destroyed by Imperial censors.

    You could also break up the Heartlander/Highlander/Farfolk blocks into the various subcultures;

    The Imperial territories being composed of an Imperial ruling caste and the native (presumably Jorenic) peasants, each area of the Empire serving as a stand in for a different European culture.

    The Farfolk of the Al Norid Sultanate being linked to Rassids and used as a stand in for Andalusia.

    5th of Horen’s Calling, in the year of our Lord 1945.

     



    To the Canonist Faithful,

     

    A freak winter storm has descended upon Lemon Hill, cloaking our fair grange in a sheet of ice and snow. Many of our lemon trees have been affected by this frost, it is not yet known the extent of the damage. It is expected for our harvest to be much diminished in the coming year.


    Strange figures and ominous whispers have been observed in the blizzard, likely the result of magi and ne'er-do-wells. Visitors should take caution and remain in the warmth of a brazier or torch. All residents are advised to wear a second layer of winter clothes, as well as to double their supply of firewood.

     

    GOD shall yet see us through this trial, for we are His faithful.

     



    IN NOMINE DEI

     

    Ser Morgan of Angren
