*A small scroll is dropped near you, a bird flies off quickly. You open it, and read what it says*: "All those that seek racial justice, defense for the weak, and retribution for the fallen, seek out Mar. We are held-up within The City of Merithic, Capitol of Mar."
Valkelm Za'goth Unkai:
"When we joined The Covenant of Mar, we took an oath."
The 1st Covenant Warband:
"To clash with those that would invoke racial genocide.
To defend those that cannot defend themselves.
To destroy those that defy our Covenant."
Valkelm Za'goth Unkai:
"Aye, you boys have learned well. Come, join arms together and charge our foe!
The 1st Covenant Warband:
For the Covenant!
-Quoted at the Defense of Petrus, during the Giant's Assault on the city.
Out of Character Information:
The Covenant of Mar is an organization focused on the preservation of their covenant, and fufilling various missions/duties that is given by the Valkelm (Or Leader). The missions can be a variety of tasks, and are ranked from F - A rankings. The various mission catagories are seen below:
==================================================================================
Intelligence Gathering - This involves gathering intelligence on a person, organization, culture, or anything really.
Manual Labour - Your run of the mill, choppin', cuttin', crackalackin'. (Mining, Woodcutting, etc.)
Protection - Involves guarding an area, person, or other point of interest.
Combatives - Involves something related to combat.
Diplomacy - Involves stuff with politics. Boring stuff, usually.
================================================================================
When your not out doing a mission, your free to partake in any activities you'd like, including the Mar Brawling Pits. You can bet brawl for money, and bet on different fighters. Every Elven Day there's a big fight you can bet on, or sign-up to participate in. You can also go into the Den of Daggers, once you've ascended through rank, and explore various secrets within.
Rankings:
----------------
Valkelm (Lord) - During times of great strife, covenant mentors all come together and decide amongst themselves a Valkelm, who will oversee the future of the covenant. The Valkelm is tasked with the majority of diplomacy, and initiating new members into the covenant. He also distributes out missions to mentors, who then give it to their underlings. In times that many mentors are not present, the Valkelm will distribute missions to lower ranks himself.
Mentor - A rank of high respect, and honour, a mentor is acknowledged of their vast knowledge within the covenant of a specific area of expertise. Mentors can take 2-4 Disciples under their wing, training them in the more advanced arts. Mentors are usually leaders in warfare, often times getting their own warband together.
Disciple - An official covenant foot soldier, the disciple has proven him/herself time and time again, and has thus attained the rank of disciple. The disciple can now take on an apprentice of his/her own, training them in the various basic arts of warfare. From parkour to swordsmanship, the disciple has shown prowess over all fields, and is regarded with high respect.
Apprentice - A newly oathed soldier, the apprentice has shown some sort of skill, giving them the right to join the covenant officially. An apprentice will typically be under the mentorship of a disciple or mentor, depending on their skillset, and men available. Apprentice is a very important step in dedication to the covenant, and thus most time is spent at this rank, proving your worth.
((Are allowed to pick a branch from here onward, and will be known by their robes colour.))
Initiate - An unoathed recruit, this individual has shown interest, or has been taken interest in by Mar, and thus has been given the right to associate with the covenant. While, they've yet to prove themselves, and are free to leave at any time, an initiate has nothing to lose, and everything to prove. Many have died at this rank, or simply given up, in the constant struggle to prove their worth.

Branches of Mar:
----------------------------
Maruader - Reknown for their red coloured robes, the Maruaders within Mar are the most ruthless of any member. They are the frontlines men, vanguards, and the ones always putting their lives on the line for the sake of the covenant.
Assassin - Reknown for their black coloured robes, the Assasins are masters of stealth, and swordsmanship. They typically will sacrifice themselves if they believe the covenant can be given the upper edge in a fight, by doing so. They work in the shadows, many Assassins work out of the Den of Daggers, not associating with other members.
Retributors - Reknown for their blue coloured robes, the Retributor is a stalwart defender of the covenant, often times staying at home to defend the innocent, or protect the fortresses. Retributors usually do most of the recruiting, and often will be given their own Warband if they secure a Mentor title.
