Malgonious

Hakon would have a single tear dribble down his cheek, honoring the legacy that was, Tim the Wood-Elf.

The Ashguard would sucessfully lead numerous defenses in Lorraine against scouts of Dunamis, hanging their bodies from the Ashwood a symbol of their house pride.

Malgunus would see Vrogrash and his loyal warband following suit, he would grin, running out to meet his old friend and previous Rex. "Brudda rulg fur koming tuh mi brudda's side. Ugluk whitewayzh skah wull bi flat undah mi and latz hozh klompin'" Malgunus would lead them inside, to prepare for war.

((Thanks for clearing this up, I was a bit confused on the differences between Holy and State Knights and what authority they held. +1!))

ACCEPTED. Report to The County of Nyrhold located in Lorraine.

NOTICE! The Frostholm Chapter has been former for all those present on Norland and Avor as a whole under Bro Ruric.

"This Roswell fellow is a good man! Thank you for providing this cart to our lands, your kindness knows no bounds."

Ser Hakon Ruric would seem interested, but then see where it's based, then not be interested.

Malgunus'Raguk would nod in approval!

Accepted, welcome guardsmen.

______________________________________________ A gathering of various bannermen from Drayton, Greymane, and Ruric can be seen crowding around the mound that would hold up the Ashwood, the sigil of House Ruric. Many different colors, many officers barking orders, a very irritating sight to Ser Hakon Ruric, whom would stand overhead atop the mound. "Father, look at this. Such informality and chaos cannot be the subject of the Imperium's best, could it?" Eirik Ruric would look disgruntled at the bannermen, his face turned to his son. "Aye this is truly a problem my son. I entrust this to you, for only you can mend this." Hakon would gaze below to the loyal forces of his House. His eyes would close, and he would envision a stalwart force, unified beneath a single purpose... Preservation. "BROTHERS! HARK, HEED MY CALL!" Ser Hakon Ruric would gaze upon the attention that he had desired, focused upon the Ashwood, focused upon his words. His lip curled, his breath coarse and rough. "From the recent conflict, I saw something that disgusted me. I saw a lack of unity within our people. I saw many officers barking idle commands to rampant dogs! I saw complete ignorance of chain-of-command, and men following suit on their own whims! NO MORE!" Hakon would grow a scowl upon his face, his anger flowing forth, and taking form in word. "For so long, our people have stood without centralized unity. Under many different banners, under many different leaders... No more. Hakon would regain his composure before his men, and finally the idea had come to him. The answer to his problem. On this day, we stand united from the ashes of old warbands, orders, and levymen. Many bannermen would begin to nod, some officers disgruntled, but the overall consensus was positive. Hakon continued with his speech. On this day arises The Ashguard, with one purpose. The preservation of the Imperium." Cheers would begin to erupt from the bannermen, officers slowly starting to nod, understanding the situation. "TOGETHER! BENEATH THE ASHWOOD, THE DENIZENS OF THE SLAIN HANGING OVER-WATCH, WEEPING IN THE SEVEN SKIES FOR THE SLAIN HEANTHENOUS KIN TO COME, FROM YOUR HANDS!" The bannermen would erupt into chants and cheers, the feeling of pride washing over them. "THE ASHGUARD STANDS TALL MY BROTHERS! JOIN ME, UNIFIED AT LONG LAST! JOIN ME, AS ONE! AVE RURIC! AVE GREYMANE! AVE LORRAINE!" A singular chant would arise, stemming from one veteran. Hakon would nod, uttering the same chant as his kin. "Blood and honor." ______________________________________________ ((Any trolly RP will be removed to keep things civil. Thanks.))

The Ashguard of the Imperium Writ of Unity ______________________________________________ "For so long, our people have stood without centralized unity. Under many different banners, under many different leaders... No more. On this day, we stand united from the ashes of old warbands, orders and levies. On this day arises The Ashguard, with one purpose. The preservation of the Imperium." Ser Hakon, "The Shipwright," Ruric. (14th of Sun's Smile, 1543). ______________________________________________ Rules ______________________________________________ You may not harm another member of the guard. You may not harm Oren or her people. Follow all orders from your superiors, this is to keep unity and a level head. You may not abdicate your duties without lawful discharge from your Chapter Captain. You may not steal from Oren or her people. You must be a competent guardsman, or face hanging from the Ashwood. ______________________________________________ Ranks and Chapter Infrastructure ______________________________________________ -Command Branch- Commander of the Ashguard Leads all chapters, and their guardsmen in times of war. The Commander is tasked with giving out orders to Chapter Captains, which are then given to the lower-ranking guardsmen. The Commander has direct authority given to him by the patriarchy of House Ruric-Greymane, as such he can make military-actions without the consent of the Lord overseeing him. The Commander is also in-charge of giving payments to Chapter Captains. Chapter Captain Leads a specific chapter within the guard, a Chapter Captain is in-charge of recruitment, housing, arming, and training of those in his chapter. A Chapter Captain is considered a very high rank, and can typically hand out promotions to his underlings without the consent of the Commander, so long as it does not surpass Battle-brother. Knight Must have been Knighted within the Imperium, the Knight is viewed as a step above the Veteran rank, and is given a higher regard as they've been recognized by the Emperor himself. Usually given the best armaments. -Guard Branch- Veteran Having proven himself time and time again, a veteran has survived many battles or wars, and lived to tell the tale. They're experienced combatants, with a wide knowledge of the blade. Veterans are usually allowed to handle missions of lesser importance, and can ascend to the rank of Chapter Captain, if the position is needed. Battle-Brother A man with a steadfast dedication to the guard, the Battle-brother is a guardsman who's faith and dedication to the guard is unquestioned by any within his chapter. He's given a lot of leniency, and the best of the best armaments, a step up from the usual rabble that is given to the Initiates. Battle-brothers are always trying to prove themselves competent enough to become Veterans of their chapter. Initiate A fresh recruit to the guardsmen, the Initiate is given no trust what-so-ever, and typically looked down upon as inferior by their fellow guardsmen. Their faith and willingness to comply is always in question, and will continue to be so until they've been anointed Battle-brother by their Chapter Captain. They're typically given the lesser armaments available. ______________________________________________ Chapters of the Guard ______________________________________________ Ruric Chapter The Chapter charged with the defense of Nyrhold, Seahelm, and Valkyria.

Malgunus'Raguk will spit in the clan-traitor's direction. "Lat wurr nevur a hozh bruddah anehwaeh, lat luv pinkiez tuhh much."

Ser Hakon Ruric would smirk loudly, awaiting the day the heathens dare strike out past their borders.

The Great Galactic War, known as the Great War during the conflict and in the years afterward, was a war between theSith Empire and the Galactic Republic between 3681 BBY and3653 BBY, lasting for a total of 28 years. Also known as theRepublic–Sith War, the conflict was ultimately the culmination of a 1300-year grudge held by survivors of the old Sith Empire against the Republic for their defeat in the Great Hyperspace War. The war would cost countless lives and devastate worlds from the Core to the Rim, as well as having dramatic galactic consequences otherwise. The Republic economy was shattered and roughly half the galaxy would end up under Sithdominion, and the Jedi Order would withdraw from the galactic capital to establish a new home on their ancient homeworld. But it would not ultimately be conclusive. While a strategic defeat for the Republic, the end of the war left both powers standing, engaged in an undeclared conflict for supremacy on numerous disputed worlds.
