Teamspeak and discord are a requirement.

Only similarities i can find is that we are both merc groups? And our group existed before Dunamis returned Our horses are tougher than the average, as they have been brought up on the mountains of Urguan

-=- The Riders of the Mark -=- “We are the storm, hear the thunder of our hooves. As days darken and clouds gather we stand ready We are the horse’s blood, we are the unroutable Our steads are swift as lightning, we are the storm and we ride for victory!” Stopping dead in your tracks you look up to the figure who has approached you, his stead armoured with the strongest of studs, blue and black banners wave behind him. He looks down at you, his eyes cut you down and you feel the air suddenly get colder. He hands you a note and whispers “ride for the mark if you think you’re strong enough.” He gallops off before you can even mutter a response. Purpose The Riders of the Mark originate from the mountains of Urguan, an unlikely place for the horse lords to live. The cold of the mountains has toughened the steads so that they are stronger than normal horses. The riders are a mercenary group serving only the highest bidder. Their goal is to create a community of not only elite warriors for battles and wars, but also to create a bustling village with plenty of activity. History The Deep Cold, 1606 Aldor and Aeoblod pulled themselves to the top of the mountain, exhausted and malnourished they collapsed into the snow, today was the day, today was the day they gave up. The bitterness of the Dwarven mountains stung them likes angry bees, their faces frozen to the one bitter expression they had had throughout their journey. Aldor stood up and looked around at the crater at the top of the mountain, his eyes widening. “This..- This is perfect…” He finally uttered. They dove into the last of their rations and used what little energy they had left to gather enough wood to build a makeshift hovel for the night. In the morning Aeoblod continued to set up an outpost whilst Aldor travelled back down the mountain to the Kal’Omith to barter supplies for their town. Construction began quickly and the two were able to establish enough food and shelter to sustain them permanently. Aeoblod looked to Aldor “This will be our mark on the world, this will be our home.” Battle of Blódskogr, 1608 Grand King Bastion Ireheart had given Aldor one condition for settling in his lands. He wanted the mark’s troops for the upcoming war against the Kingdom of Norland. Eager to prove himself preparations were made and the once empty looking hilltop exploded into a fortified town. With Fort Mark finished military equipment was the next priority. Maybe it was pity or maybe she genuinely believed in this place the two were blessed with the help of the ascended ‘Mariane’a Abernathy’. The Legendary Blacksmith was a god send to the group who forged the armour and weapons for the riders. Day in and day out she put her blood, tears and sweat into her forge. Each armour bearing her unique runic symbol on the chestpiece. As the sun dipped under the horizon a dwarven messenger arrived at the gates of the mark, it was time to rally. The battle was short and sweet, Aeoblod led the charge into Norland’s defensives. Taking the flank he ordered the men to climb the trees to take out the archers whilst the dwarven forces steamrolled the broken enemy. Returning victorious songs were sung all night in the “Frozen Hill Tavern” this was only the beginning. Horses The bond between a rider and their steed is of utmost importance to members of the mark. The horse is their companion for life, accompanying them across all terrain through day and night. When a defender of the mark had shown skill, passion and loyalty to the group it would be decided amongst the Knights and Marshal if they should be promoted to “Rider”. During the ceremony a horse will be presented to the candidate and two must accept each other. If the steed doesn’t accept it’s potential master it means the defender isn’t ready to become a rider. However if it does the defender must complete a trial to show they are worthy. Trial of the Rider During your promotion to rider a knight or the marshal will accompany you on your trial. The trial consists of a journey to empower both you and your horse with the water from the “Fountain of Viribus”. The fountain is empowered with the ancient spells of the druids which will fortify the bond between you and your horse and your combat prowess. Ranks Military ranking system Upon joining the riders you will be a ‘Defender Of The Mark’, this is the section of training before the trial that you will be a foot soldier. When you are ready you will do the trial and become a rider. When a rider proves themselves as a worthy leader, they will be promoted once again to the rank ‘Knight Of The Mark’. Knights will be given divisions and they will navigate within wars as their own groups. The ‘Marshall Of The Mark’ direct the separate divisions in a war, organizing flanks and tactics. The Town Not everyone is cut out to be a rider of even a defender. For the more passive soul the village offers another side of life. Once you settle into the town you’ll become a “Citizen”, helping out with minor tasks and rping in and around The Mark. If you wish to pursue a profession then you can become a “head” of that profession where you’ll have your own unique building with all the tools you need to train. Higher ranks are available like ”senechal” where you would handle administrative tasks in the town and help settle new citizens. The “Steward” is in charge of managing the entire town and overseeing new building, and all professions. Marshal Of The Mark The marshall of the mark is the overall leader of the Military who will organise the separate divisions in a war claim. He will discuss business deals with other factions and run the Knight Of The Mark A knight of the mark is an officer of the army, they will be granted a larger room in the keep and a barracks to train their troops and store their armour and weapons, a knight of the mark will lead a division in a war claim.
