    Peace of the Sun’s Smile

    Signed on the 15th Day of the Sun’s Smile, 1594

     


     

     

    ‡ SALUS IN ARDUIS ‡

    A Refuge in Difficulties

     

    It has not been without lengthy discussion that the terms which united ourselves as a nation of various and unique peoples have been redrawn and redressed. For what right we have accomplished in the world as a united digilance for the purpose of preserving the goodwill of Humanity, there must naturally come a time where our focus must be shifted elsewhere in the conservation of our moral obligations and to further the fight against those evils of the world that manifest the destruction of the worldly order.

     

    Henceforth, to preserve the goodwill of Humanity, its moral obligations, especially in fighting those worldly foes of the Sunless Sanctum, on the orders of His Imperial Majesty, Philip Frederick Horen, Emperor of the Holy Orenian Empire, the Company of the Westerlands and its associated peerage have been henceforth released of their vows to the service and protection of God, Humanity, and the Empire.

     

    As free men, under the service of Leopold, King of the Westerlands, and his associated peerage, we agree to the following terms mutually brought to fruition with the forces of the Axios Coalition. We take these terms to continue our constant conflict against the enemies of the world, the Sunless Sanctum, and the Nether that sponsors it.

     

     


     

    1. White Peace
      The establishment of White Peace shall be made between the Kingdom of the Westerlands and the forces of the Axios Coalition.

  5. A Statement from the Arn Rovin, Konig of Aesterwald

     

    To help with any confusion that might have risen from this recent bit of information, the area known as the Duchy of Polaris, including the renamed city of Silverholt, is now under the regency of Leon, who will take over as the governor of the region until further notice.

  6. The Feast Day of St. Tobias

    BZnRTPN.png

    ________________________________________________________

    Once every 50 years,

    when the stars align just right

    a celebration day with cheers

    is held in that night

     

    With a grand feast

    catered by the wives of men

    many a cooked beast

    eaten before the clock strikes ten

     

    Then upon Elk back

    the Jolly Saint rides

    delivering gifts in a sack

    before he quickly hides

     

    It is Saint Tobias,

    the Vanders knew well,

    known as the most pious

    for the wealth he did sell

     

    Thus, let it be known

    upon this sacred night

    when the trees do groan

    that Saint Tobias is in flight.

    ________________________________________________________

    As the poem foretells, it is a day where the Vanders of Aesterwald commune within the Duchy of Vanderfell. Upon this festive occasion they celebrate and feast until the arrival of the reverent Saint Tobias, he who aided the White Rose during the conflicts against the Dark Elfen and for this we give thanks to him as well as the Gifts he will bring upon the back of his trusted steed ‘Rudolph’ the red nosed Elk.

     

    Thus, to celebrate this day the Vanders will hold a feastival within the Konigreich and in the city of Aesterwald where all are invited, except the Undead & Ruskans. Let it be known that this festivity will be held upon the final day of the Saint’s week along with the new year.

     

    [sunday, Est: 3:00 PM [GMT: -5], the Aulic Council meeting is canceled.]

     

    Festive clothes are mandatory!

  7. Affirmation of alliance with 'The Clerical Order'

    _________________________________

    As per the will of the Aulic Council & that of the Hochsouveran, the Konigreich, as per request of the Clerical Order, shall publicly recognize their alliance with 'The Clerical Order' and the terms of agreement between these two sovereign factions in the interests of eliminating the Northern threat of the Undead within the realm of Hanseti. The terms are as followed:

     

    The Clerical Order unto Aesterwald:

    • The Clerical Order shall aid Aesterwald in any attempts to quench the invasion of the Undead

    Aesterwald unto The Clerical Order:

     

    • Aesterwald shall provide a portion of its land for use by the Clerics, unhindered.
    • Aesterwald shall allow their continuing reverence for Tahaerie as allowed by the 'Book of Horen' from the scriptures of the True Faith.

  8. Ser Paul Ryan Jr. Shakes his head sadly, wondering how a kingdom with a population one can count with his fingers and toes can afford to exclude others...

     

     

    "Next thing you know, friends" he says to his friends around him "they'll be rounding up other kinds of people to kill them all!"

     

     

    *The Konigreich would release an official public census of the core values of Atherian civilizations in retort to the foul insult regarding the Waldenian people, surely it is seen that this 'Ser Paul Ryan Jr.' bears many fingers & toes.*

    The Raevir Exclusion Act

     

    Whereas, in the opinion of the Apostoliche Konigreich of Aesterwald, the coming of Raevir refugees and laborers to this country endangers the good order of certain localities within the territory of the Konigreich of Aesterwald. Repeated offenses of banditry. especially the attempted assassination of Konig Arn Rovin, have caused this law to be established in haste retaliation.

     

    THEREFORE,

     

    Be it enacted by the Konig, Hochsoveriegn, and Aulic Council in the Eagle’s Nest assembled, that immediately, the coming of Raevir refugees and laborers to the Apostoliche Konigreich of Aesterwald be, and the same is hereby, suspended; and during such suspension it shall not be lawful for any human of Raevir culture to come, or to remain, within the Konigreich or its territories.

     

    I. That the master of any vessel, or the leader of any group, who shall knowingly bring within the Konigreich on such vessel or group, and land or permit to be landed, and Raevir, from any foreign port of place, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred minas for each and every such Raevir so brought, and may be also imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year.

     

    II. That the two foregoing sections shall not apply to Raevir who were in the Konigreich before the passage of this law.

     

    III. That any person who shall knowingly and falsely alter or substitute any name for the name written in such certificate or forge any such certificate, or knowingly utter any forged or fraudulent certificate, or falsely personate any person named in any such certificate, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor; and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not exceeding one thousand minas, and imprisoned in a penitentiary for a term of not more than five years.

     

    IV. That any person who shall knowingly bring into or cause to be brought into the Konigreich by land, or who shall knowingly aid or abet the same, or aid or abet the landing in the Konigreich from any vessel of any Raevir person not lawfully entitled to enter the Konigreich, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in a sum not exceeding one thousand minas, and imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year.

     

    V. Any Raevir person residing legally in the Konigreich of Aesterwald is liable for search and seizure at any time for any reason. Armour and weapons are to be confiscated.

     

    VI. That hereafter no vassal court or court of the Konigreich shall admit Raevir people to citizenship; and all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.

     

    VII. That the words "Raevir", whenever used in this act, shall be construed to mean both skilled and unskilled laborers of Raevir culture and blood.

     

    Let God Have Mercy on Their Souls

  10. The Aulician Book

    Listing of all Landed Titles, Nobility, Gentry, and overall summarization of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aesterwald

    taII0WS.png

    Preface

    One might asks itself, 'What truly is Aesterwald?' or 'What is the reason for Aesterwald's existence?'. Although I myself should not even attempt to answer these broad questions in the length of this small introduction, I shall be the fool and try. Aesterwald is the idea of the unified North, the actual 'North' being the lands North of the Great River. Of course, this is nothing revolutionary, as the idea of a 'kingdom of the north' can be traced all the way back to Horen's eldest son, King Harren I. Regardless, that is, well, one of the many reasons, though I am sure the politics of such does not interest to mind. So, with multiple writers and editors, including myself, Prince Otto von Rovin, we write this novel in hopes of showing the citizenry what Aesterwald truly is, not in just the verbal sense, but the spiritual and ultimate fraternal bonding that binds Aesterwald into one of the most prosperous northern kingdoms since King Harren, son of Horen.

     

    Now, this novelette contains a swath of information regarding government, economy, religion, and otherwise assortment of topics that any man may wish to know.

     

    Deus Magnus,

    Otto von Rovin, Prince of Aesterwald

     

    __________________________________________________________________________________

     

    History of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aesterwald

     

    The actual Apostolic Kingdom of Aesterwald has had a short history in the sense of the actual history of the world, being founded a near twenty years ago. However, this detailed history will not just cover those short years, but how the Apostolic Kingdom of Aesterwald came to be.

     

    It all began during the end of the Reign of Emperor Siegmund Carrion, only emperor of the Second Empire. Jack von Rovin, later called Frederick, was approached by the current High Pontiff, Lucien II, a bastard of House de Varodyr. The Church itself had suffered greatly since the Exodus, most priests and holy men left to the shores of Aeldin which left the Mother Church defenseless and weak. Jack von Rovin, at the time, led a small band of warriors, made up mainly of northerners, to which were quite pious compared to the other bands serving Oren at the time. The High Pontiff saw this and asked Jack to create a new order that would protect the Church of outside threat and inside threat, a request that Jack von Rovin gladly agreed on.

     

    And so, the infamous Order of Saint Lucien was created, with Jack von Rovin as its Grandmaster, the extremely young Voron von Rovin as his Grand Commander, and other faces such as the young Rosencrantz as its Grand Prior, the easterner Raigeki as its Knight Commander, and the adunian Rymeul as its Grand Chancellor. The Order would fight in numerous wars, including the War of the Golden Lance, the Second Great War, and the Rusko-Lucienist War. Humanity, with the combined might of the Order of Saint Lucien and King Heinrik’s own men, such as the Order of the Decterum and countless levies, was beginning to finally regain its foothold amongst the races.

     

    However, not everything good will last. Tensions between the Raevir fanatics and the men of the Order of Saint Lucien reached a breaking point, leading to multiple minor skirmishes and raids on both sides. The actual war itself ended the Battle of Savoie Fields, which led to the decisive victory for the men of the Order of Saint Lucien. However, it did not stop there. King Heinrik, a few months after the Battle of Savoie Fields, died in battle against the Dwarven forces, leaving Oren without an heir.

     

    But, just as the carrion crows are, a Carrion cousin came to claim the throne from across the sea. Franz Joseph Carrion was a figure not liked by the current High Pontiff, High Pontiff Regulus, to which he refused to coronate him, as Franz was known for cowardice and greed. Franz, wanting to solidify his corrupting hold upon the realm of man, dressed a lowly priest as the High Pontiff in order to have him coronated. Order men from the Order of Saint Lucien stood in the crowd, seeing such a horrendous sight, a clear sign of hate and disrespect against the Holy Father. Led by the Grandmaster Jack von Rovin and Ser Rymeul, the small muster of men demanded that the false Pontiff be taken into custody and that Franz answer for his crimes.

     

    Men are sinners, of course, so Franz denied this and the men of the Order of Saint Lucien attacked. The false Pontiff was killed in the fight by the men of the Order of Saint Lucien but had to retreat, as with the overwhelming forces in the Carrion Keep. Franz, instead of apologising and seeking peace for his sins, crowned an Anti-Pontiff to dishonor the Holy Father and the faithful. Some men under the rule of Franz saw the sin of his ways, including the leader of the Decterum, Ser Aildred of House Ruthern. With the combined forces of Grandmaster Jack von Rovin and Marshall Aildred of the Decterum, they led an attack upon the Carrion keep, executing the sinful Franz and his debauchery of a council. However, the force was not able to take the Carrion’s last stronghold, Mount Augustus, and led to the eventual resurgence of House Carrion years later.

     

    With the Carrions deposed, a vision of the Exalted Emperor Godfrey appeared from the heavens, prophesying the return of a new Emperor, Peter of Chivay. And so, the men of the old White Rose returned upon the shores of their homeland, including the King of Kaedrin, King Peter Chivay, his nephew Robert Chivay, and countless knights and Marked men. The Order of Saint Lucien, along with other rebels against the rule of the Carrions, swore their swords to the new Emperor of Mankind, leading to the Third Empire of Mankind.

     

    As mentioned that Mount Augustus was not taken, the Carrion worm soon infested itself within the Sparrow Dynasty. The hypocritical Father Vasily convinced Robert to remove the High Pontiff and declare church under state. The Order of Saint Lucien, thanks to the Decree of Disbandment, was disbanded and the men splintered apart. Many of the order men stayed loyal to Jack von Rovin and his son, Voron von Rovin. Voron, with many of the Order of Saint Lucien, joined and formed the backbone of the short-lived Imperial Army.

     

    Voron, however, grew wary of the Imperial Army, as talks of betrayal soon reached his ears. As his time in the army was over, he was granted land north of the Great River, forming the Markgraf of Vanderfell, a border county of the Third Empire. The rumors that Voron were true, as the Imperial Army betrayed Emperor Robert and overthrew House of Chivay, placing House Carrion back on the throne. Jack von Rovin left to Vanderfell, telling Voron of this great betrayal. After much talk with father and son, it was decided. Vanderfell would not stay with the Carrion-ruled Empire.

     

    And so, with the Archbishop crowning Jack von Rovin ‘King of the Vanders’, Jack took up the name King Frederick I, the first king of Aesterwald.

     

    Three years passed, Aesterwald growing to obtain the entire north, with the Polarians swearing under the King Jack von Rovin. With the assistance of Faiz of Kharadeen, alliances formed between the many nations of Athera. However, the Emperor Tobias Carrion sat upon a hungry throne, wanting to reclaim Aesterwald which has remained independent since the Carrion’s retaking of the throne. Emperor Tobias sent an ultimatum, to which King Jack von Rovin refused outright.

     

    War began, to which Aesterwald and the Empire led into a bloodless struggle. No battle was fought between the two nations, for this war was merely fought in pen and paper. King Frederick, a year into the war, died of poisoning, to which his son Voron ascended to the throne. Voron was not war-supporting like his father, for Voron was a more intrigued minded man of Waldenia. He took to private meeting with Tobias, and signed a pact to agree to swear underneath the Empire, a move which angered many men of Aesterwald and would cause unrest for years to come.

     

    It would take five years for the other lords of the Empire to realize why Aesterwald did not wish to be under the crow. When Maric of Renatus raised his banners in rebellion against Emperor Tobias, Aesterwald took the side of the rebels to dismantle the Empire.

     

    And so, at the decisive victory at Angren, the rebels won, with the crows retreating back to Petrus to lick their wounds.

    Faith

    Church of the True Faith

    The Konigreich of Aesterwald follows the Imperial Codex of the Creator’s Church. However, through texts that have been translated to Marian rather than Flexio. Nonetheless, the state `who arose from the former Order of Saint Lucien is loyal to its roots and entrusts themselves in the papacy.

     

    Religious Tolerance

    Unlike the remainder of the Empire of Oren the Konigreich has a peculiar tolerance to heretics and houses various persons within their realm who are devout followers of Clericism. Although they will not tolerate open worship of any differing faiths within their cities but will allow private worship.

    Military of the Kingdom

    jaasMb2.png

    Being one of the major powers of the human nations, Aesterwald requires itself a standing military to defend itself from the outside threats of Iblees, Carrions, or worse. Founded weeks before the death of King Frederick von Rovin and elaborated during the short reign of King Voron von Rovin, the Order of the Black Eagle, or called the Königreich's Streitkräfte in the tongue of High Marian, stands as the protectors of the Northern Realm of Aesterwald.

    The Order of the Black Eagle is led by the incorruptible Lord Constable, or called Lord Wachtmeister in the tongue of High Marian, who leads the men of the Aesterwald through thick and thin, reaching the all amounted glory and victory in the name of Aesterwald and their King.

  12. Warning of Eviction: Tax Evasion Brought to Justice

    taII0WS.png

    8th of The Grand Harvest, 1483

    As per the expectations of the Konigreich, all citizens within the realm of the Grand Duchy of Vanderfell, who are subject to taxation, must pay their dues to fund the prestigious Order of the Black Eagle, the state military.

    However. Some citizenry have expressed a consistent trend of failing to pay their tribute towards the Konigreich, namely for 4 years.

    Thus, upon this 4th year the Apostlistic Konigreich of Aesterwald requests that all citizenry pay their forgone duty or face eviction from their current homestead within the city. All payment must be done in true coinage, the Mina, within the next Three Saint Days (Saturday - Monday) and failure to fulfill this request will result in the aforementioned.

     

    The following are the citizens who have not abided by the realm’s taxation of 50 Mina per annum:

    43Avp81.png

    ________________________________________________________________________________

     

    For All Whom Request Audience

     

    Konig Arn of Rovin and Hochsouveran Rosencrantz of Revandir jointly decree that,

    in response to the requests and pleas of the people of Aesterwald and other foreign dignitaries

    whom bless our lands with brotherhood, an open court shall be established for the first day of every Saint's week.

     

    During this open court, either the Konig or the Hochsouveran shall be present in the throne room of the Eagle's Nest, the castle in Vanderfell and seat of the Konigreich. Any concern may be brought to the attention of either man present. It is also advisable that privy councilmen are present to share their views on the various opinions held by the people of the realm.

     

    Let this shift from secrecy to transparency further bring blessings from the almighty Creator down upon the Apostoliche Konigreich.

     

    Ave Rovin

    Ave Revandir

    _______________________________________________________________________

     

    Upon the snow capped mountains of the Northern province sits an imposing but eye-appealing citadel. The walls seem to protrude from the ground, as if they were spawned by God. The roofs of the many towers and buildings are curved at sharp angles, as if to cut through the ice that nests above. Guards stand watch across the walls, while life goes on in the sprawling city below. It is as if these people do not fight the cold, but embrace it as their essence of life.

     

    This is Vanderfell, the capitol of the Duchy of Vanders,

    seat of the Apostoliche Kingdom of Aesterwald.

     

    Upon entry into the city, there is a discreet path that winds up the largest of the many mountains that grace the area. A winding and elevating path, it takes the breath out of those unaccustomed to the climate. Through two gates comes a vast courtyard. In the middle lays a small, ancient lake. Flanking one side of the area is the Keep of the Winters, courtiers to the Konigreich. Looking to the left, a vast staircase leads visitors eyes to a grand sight. An open gate draws all life into it, as if it were looking to preserve it from the chilly restraints of the exterior.

     

    This is the Eagle's Nest, home to the monarchs of Aesterwald

    and their army, The Order of the Black Eagle

     

    HI4X3Vs.jpg

     

    Entering the gate, your eyes follow a tri-colored rug to the base of two joined stone seats. On either side are tables with names etched into the front. Large balconies flank them, and a strong scent of frankincense is left burning. Upon the seat to the left is an aging man, though his skin is lively and appears as if it were oiled. The man to his left is a very young man, no older than thirty. He wears a crown, but seems very inexperienced. Thick Waldenian accents come from the duo as they address a commoner.

     

    It appears as if is now your turn to speak. The Hochsouveran and Konig invite you forward to the base of the rug nearest to them.

  15. Waldenian Act of Reaffirmation, 13th of the Amber Cold; 1482

    eagle_of_prussia_by_rarayn-d3dwznj.png

    ___________________________

    Renewing Oaths to Aesterwald

     

    By Law, the death of the late König Voron Rovin I has nullified any bonds and invalidated any oaths once held in his name, and in the name of the Königreich. It is required of all Knights and Noble Houses, that to maintain their positions in the Realm, they must reaffirm their oaths to the new König, Arn Rovin I.

     

    On the Subject of Knighthood,

     

    Whether knighted under the Order of the Black Eagle or Voron I, all Knights must travel to the keep known as Eagle’s Nest and bend the knee to the König Arn Rovin. They must pledge their swords and their lives to our new king and therefore have their titles legally replenished. Should a Knight be unavailable for this, he may discuss it with the Hochsouvern Rosencrantz Revandir. Should there be lack of communication for an entire Saint's Week, the result would be found in the loss of Knighthood.

     

    On the Subject of Nobility,

     

    Formerly recognized Lords of the Noble Houses of Aesterwald must also come to Eagle’s Nest in which they will reaffirm their oaths to the newly crowned König. In the event that the Noble Lord is unable to profess their oaths publicly before the crown, they may communicate within the next Saint’s Week detailing such. Failure to do so will result in the House’s Noble state to revert to an unrecognized state.

     

    On the Subject of Aulic Councilmen,

     

    All members on the Aulic Council are too encouraged to pledge themselves to König Arn I, and to Aesterwald once more. They must kneel before the throne and present their oaths publicly to the König, or to the Hochsouvern. This may be furtherly discussed, should complications be evident. But, if no communication has been established within a Saint’s Week, said Councilman might find themself removed from the Aulic Council.

    The Army of Aesterwald, Soldiers of his Majesty der König

     

     

    Code and Tenants

    -Tenants-

    Originally named the Vandorian Order, the Force maintains a few examples of their past, such as their code of honor.

     

    Why do Vanders fight?

    To fear the Creator and maintain His Church †

    To serve the liege lord in valour and faith †

    To refrain from the wanton giving of offence †

    To live by honour and for glory †

    To despise pecuniary reward †

    To obey those placed in authority †

    To guard the honour of fellow Vanders †

    † To keep faith †

    To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun †

    To never to refuse a challenge from an equal †

    To never to turn the back upon a foe †

     

    -The Primitive Rule of the Reichmann-

    I. On The Speaking of Words

    When in the presence of an ally, all Enlisted and Knights are to behave with kindness no matter the ill words spoken to them in accords to what the Vander’s code says “To refrain from the wanton giving of offence”.  Reichmann are not required to speak true on personal quarrels when asked upon unless if state security is involved.

     

    II. On the Dress of the Reichmann

    In order to provide a sense of pride and representation as persons of the Force all individuals serving the Königreich's Streitkräfte are expected to bear their banner’s colors in linen or wool unless deemed otherwise by the acting Draper.

     

    A familiar issue to the Order is a sense of self identity amongst Enlisted, and Knights. Therefore the Königreich has deemed it fit to allow each person one accessory they may bear that does not possess any form of appearance which may warp the Force’s perception.

     

    III.On Seniority of the Force

    In the Order, a direct chain-of-command shall be established to prevent the usurpation of power from a more capable commander by a more popular commander. If a commander of higher standing appears, he is to take charge immediately. No orders are to be given by any other without the say of the senior. If it does happen that one takes command for himself, he and those that followed him shall be punished, either through lashings, demerit, blacklistment, or through the ancient rite of decimation.

     

    The command shall go as follows:

     

    A.) The Lord Constable

    The Grandmaster has absolute command of the Force in all cases. His word is rule.

    B.) The Senior Knights

    The Senior Knights are the enactors of the Constable's Will and are second-in-line in seniority.

    C.) The Knights

    The Knights are the high officers of the Force and are naturally third-in-line in seniority.

    D.) The Most Senior Enlisted

    If no one else is present, the Kamerads are to be commanded by the highest clerical or military presence present.

     

    IV. On Blackmarking

    Blackmarking is the old rite of stripping an oathed Reichmann of their rights and rank by putting them beneath those who have just taken oath into the Order. Blackmarking is seen as a last attempt for an Enlisted or Knight to save themselves and their name before being removed from the Order. The Blackmarked have no rights, no honor, and no name. They are to be referred to as Blackmarked. If needed to specify, they will be named by their appearance or race.

     

    Knights, the officers and idols of the Order, are to remain in the favor of the König or Wachtmeister. To fall far from their graces will result in Blackmarking without the ability to regain rank.

     

    Blackmarking is to be seen as the greatest disgrace, to which only death in the Lord Creator’s Light can heal.

     

    V. On Faults

    Faults are simply actions that are committed by Reichmann that are in the wrong and are punishable, either through mental or physical labor. This can include anything from copying books to being whipped in public. Faults generally exist under the cardinal vices:

     

    Gula (Gluttony)

    Fornicatio (Fornication/Lust)

    Avaritia (Avarice/Greed)

    Superbia (Hubris, Pride)

    Tristitia (Sorrow/Despair/Despondency)

    Ira (Wrath)

    Vanagloria (Vainglory)

    Acedia (Sloth)

     

    Faults can also be more specific. For example, harboring the condemned is a fault. If a great number of faults are committed, a Reichmann will be sought out for Blackmarking, or might be removed from the Force entirely.

     

    Force Armament

    The Order realizes the tactical and practical advantages of a wide arsenal of weapons, and take notes from many different cultures and societies. This makes them a dangerous force.

     

    -Small Arms-

    Waldenian Zweihänder

    The Adunian Claymore is a giant sword capable of destroying any foe. Used without a shield, the Claymore is used with two hands. If it does not cut through armour, the sheer trauma of being hit by it is enough to stagger a man.

     

    Waldenian Warhammer

    The Waldenian Warhammer is a fairly bulky weapon of significant weight reserved for the slaying of undead or heavily armored opponents. With a blunt face on one half of the head and a piercing crow’s beak on the other, this weapon serves effectively in the hands of the Revandir family.

     

    Salvian Spatha

    The Salvian Spatha, originally used by the Salvus Shields, is a short sword. Rather than being used for infantry, the Order uses it for cavalry. It is long enough for perfect reach from a mounted soldier to hit a ground target.

     

    Kaedreni Longsword

    The Kaedreni Longsword is the primary weapon of the Reichmann. Long, blunt, and nasty, this sword is mobile and bulky, causing nasty wounds to the receiver.

     

    Kaedreni Arbalest

    The Kaedreni Arbalest is easily the most feared weapon of the foes of the Order of Saint Lucien. Originally used by the Force of the White Rose, the Kaedreni Arbalest pierces through armour like butter. Slow to reload, it is used as a one-shot weapon before being discarded for a sword. It is infamous to Elves and is the chosen weapon against heretics and for checkpoints.

     

    -Siege Weapons-

    The Order has an extensive history as masters of siege weaponry. Jack Rovin, a former member of the infamous White Rose, took his knowledge as an artilleryman in Squad Three and implemented it as soon as he could. In doing this, he continues an old tradition.

     

    Hansetian Ballista

    From the great white north, the Hansetian Ballista is used. Developed by the Teutonic siege engineers, it was widely used by their Hochmeister Mirtok DeNurem and made a great presence at the original Siege of the Dreadfort. It is designed for accurate, long-range fire at personnel, fortifications, and ships.

     

    Kaedreni Onager

    The Order of the White Rose developed this weapon early in their reign. It is effective as a small catapult and works slowly against weaker fortifications at short distances. It is capable of flinging hot pots of oil and basic explosives at enemy positions.

     

    Waldenian Trebuchet

    The Waldenian Trebuchet is an example of a tradition of artillery warfare. Large, intimidating, and powerful, the Waldenian Trebuchet is capable of great damage to all fortifications and at long distances.

     

    Waldenian Catapult

    The Waldenian Catapult is simply a more advanced version of the Kaedreni Onager, working at longer range distances and with more power.

     

    Vander Levy

    Ib7ytnq.png

    -Ranks-

     

    -The High Authority-

    The elders and veterans that figurehead the Force, the ones who have been elevated to the highest form of honour the Kingdom of Aesterwald can offer. Whether they be field commanders or stay within the confines of the Eagle’s Perch, the High Authority is the law and order of the Order.

     

    Lord Constable (Wachtmeister)

    Currently held by the elder Lord Rosencrantz Revandir, the Lord Constable is the Grandmaster Emeritus of the Force and ultimate figure, of power, of the Order besides the König himself. He is addressed as ‘Lord Constable’ or ‘Wachtmeister’.

     

    Senior Knight (Ritter-älter) of Aesterwald

    The battle-hardened knights who have shown loyalty and competence to have entered the personal fold of the Constable’s High Authority. Senior Knights carry out the Constable’s will and command with the rest of the Order, being his eyes and ears when the Constable himself is unable to attend. There is usually only two Senior Knights, though exceptions can be made at times. Senior Knights are addressed as ‘Great Ser’.

     

    -The Knights and Officers of Aesterwald-

     

    Knight (Ritter) of Aesterwald

    The officers and idols of the Force, Knights are the men who carry the Order upon their backs. A Knight is truly a fearless warrior, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armor of faith, just as his body is protected by the armor of steel. He is thus doubly-armed, and need fear neither demons nor men. Knights are to be addressed as 'Ser'.

     

    Squire (Knappe)

    The young lordings and nobles who train under the watchful eye of a Knight of Aesterwald. From polishing armor, practicing their arm in dueling, or writing prayers and stories, squires are under the complete guidance of his Knight. The typical age of a squire is between ten years to seventeen years, with few exceptions. Squires are to be addressed as 'Squire'.

     

    -Enlisted-

    Sergeant (Feldwebel)

    Those who have proven their blood and worth in the eyes of their Kamerad and superiors shall enter the fold of the Sergeants, the still- youthful warriors who have shined brightly compared to their peers. Sergeant is also the first stepping stone in climbing the hierarchical ladder of the Order. They are to be addressed as 'Kamerad' or 'Sergeant'.

     

    Infantry (Fußtruppe)

    Oathed under the Black Eagle, Infantry are the warriors of the Order who shall bleed and be victorious for their fatherland. Oathed Enlisted are trusted enough to wear the Yellow and Black Cross upon their chest and bosom. They are to be addressed as 'Kamerad'.

     

    -Special Roles-

    Conservator (Konservator)

    Blacksmithes and artisans, the Conservators are the master of supplies and materials that circulate the mass of the Order. Conservators create the mass intricate webs of supply lines and help keep the Order away from shortages of food, water, weapons, armor, and other assortment of materials. The rank is commonly held by Sergeants and above.

     

    Disciplinary (Zuchtmeister)

    Drilling the Enlisted and Knights is crucial in keeping the chains of the Order intact from gluttony and sloth, and it is the Disciplinaries who guarantee this. Disciplinaries carry the iconic whip, barred and bloodied from the countless Kamerads brought into compliance. The ranks is commonly held by Sergeant and above.

     

    Eaglet Regiment
