Biography Parents: Kael Vladov and an unknown elven mistress. Siblings: None Children: ((In order of birth)) Nikolas, Michal Alexander, and Aleksandra History Born Mikhail Barrow in 1520 in the aftermath of the Duke's War. He grew up serving one of his relatives, Josef Vladov, who eventually became general in the Imperial Army. At first Mikhail didn't trust the empire, feeling it was neither holy nor an empire, though after years of service in the Vladovic Regiment he came to respect it. He served as a messenger during the siege of Khron'Nogaark ((or however it's spelled)), one of his first true fights. He sustained a head injury from a dwarven bow during that battle, and later fought bravely at the battle of Cape Bronson. He was the first to raise the Imperial Banner on the first captured settlement on Avar, and soon moved on to become a prominent soldier. After a quarrel with Josef, he moved, and it was only a few months later Josef went missing, whether it was due to Mikhail's leave or not, we may never know. He soon formed his own military Order under the Lorrainian banner, only to move to Courland a few years later, for unknown reasons. He was offered a path to knighthood under the duke of Courland, though refused because he felt he deserved the Knighthood either way, since he technically was noble, and had served long enough in the Vladovic Regiment. He was married to Valeria Evelyn, though they were divorced more than half a decade after their marriage. After this Michal became depressed, and soon became sick for over 2 years, only to recover when he was 27. Now feeling betrayed and with three children ((all from his time with Valeria)), he has started to create his own house. Whether it will be via fire and sword or simply the quill, he lives to his own personal goal. "WE SHALL PERSEVERE, WE SHALL SURVIVE!"

Father Pius would scoff at the sign "And thus, another sign of orc cruelty" Hed also say while trying to read the scribbles "And stuipidity too."

Michal Oblescka would hastily send a letter "If you can offer guard services for me, I can give you decent pay and a nice house when weve built out keep!"

Upon opening the letter, Michal Oblescka would smile as the man had gone through with applying, he'd be slightly concerned about how long he planned to serve, but would simply shrug it off. "Dear applicant, you have been ACCEPTED! Please wait for us to build some housing, and you shall be provided with a warm bed and cozy home!"

If one was to pass through Michal's lands, he'd most likely see many at the local chapel. Exorcising evil spirits isn't uncommon, though a priest is usually called upon to assist. Besides guarding the area, men are also encouraged to assist in the work of the land, such as farming or baking.

le changelog -Added the new "Kommandant" position to replace Marshall.....Marshall sounded too napoleonic

(x)-=- The Ehrenritter -=-(x) Table of Contents: I. History II. The House III. The Ideals and Oathes IV. How to Join I. History No "date" is given to the foundation of the Ehrenritter. It is most commonly associated with around 1539 or even in a few chronicles it is stated to have been formed directly after the birth of its founder, Michael Roden, in 1520. The order is fairly new yet the bloodline of the family that created it is very rich. Roden, translating in their dialect to "red valley" was the name given to Michael's successors, yet this was not his first surname. His blood can be tracked back to Sulla Hennerius, a man of noble blood from who's house whence he came, no one knows. Sulla married Iya Res'na, a mali'aheral, which does mean that the family has a small amount of elven blood coursing through its veins. A descendant of Sulla, whos name is unknown, is said to have slept with Kael of House Vladov, though this is just rumor. None the less, the maiden bore two children, Kaeden and Mikhail Roden. Mikhail grew up in the a reasonably wealthy household, getting a decent education and even being raised to sergeant in the Vladovic regiment! Yet at the age of 21, Mikhail became filled with wanderlust. He had already had an heir, Nikolas Roden, born by his fiancee Valeria. For whatever reason it may be, the relations between Josef Vladov and Mikhail suddenly turned to violent hate. Mikhail renounced his possible blood from the Vladovs, and even left the regiment, even going as far as changing his own name! Mikhail had served in several battles against the dwarves, and heard many misinterpretations of his name being shouted at him, his favorite being Michael. As you may guess, Mikhail is Michael. II. The House The unofficially noble House of Roden is quite the expanding one. After Kaeden arrived back to his family after years of wandering the land, the family started to tell tales of their achievements and glories. Never wanting to quit the military life, Michael refused to retire to a house he was offered in Lorraine. Feeling awkward in joining any other military group, he decided to form his own. Patriarch(s): Michael Roden (WalrusGames) and Valeria Evelyn Roden (101juliana101) Family Members: Kaeden Roden (Tintie)-brother to Michael Nikolas Roden (unplayed, contact if interested!)-son to Michael Relations: (Duchy Wise) Lorraine: Great! Courland: Fine Carinthia: Neutral Istria: Fine III: Ideals and Oathes An order based on the preservation of tradition and brotherhood, many rituals are practiced every elven week or so. The Hunt A favorite among the soldiers, they love to hunt after a victory as much as they like to feast. They will always pay a duke to allow them hunting rights in an area, always wanting to cause peace with the law. Feast of St. Wilfriche Every 5 or so elven weeks, the soldiers stockpile food for a feast. Some exotic dishes may also be served, if money permits, such as goose and pheasent. It is not a time that permits the soldiers to flirt though, as they are even encouraged to bring a date to the feast! Aswell as eating, there may be some dining and storytelling, and maybe even a small act of theatre! The feast is a time to celebrate brotherhood, one of the most cherished thing in the order. Ranks Kommandant: Michael Roden (WalrusGames) The duties of a marshall are simple. Manage the budgets of the order, assign promotions, and oversee recruitment, should be adressed as "mein kommandant" Quartermaster: Apply if you feel youll be a good fit for this position!-A quartermaster is a very important job, and is usually reserved for one of the more richer members. They must make sure every soldier is outfitted, and must do so by using his own purse. A quartermaster may be a smith aswell, depending on the income of iron. Spymaster: Apply if you feel youll be a good fit for this position!-Although there is little need for espionage, sometimes a merry few will be sent to "even out" the political chessgame, though Imperials never fear! They mostly slay dwarves and political enemies of Oren. Honor Bearer: Apply if you feel youll be a good fit for this position!- A knight who has proven skilled at arms, he will be honored with holding the banner of the house and order during a battle Ehrenritter: Instead of your classic sergeant or master at arms, the order uses its "honor knights" to recruit and fight on the front lines during battle. Man-At-Arms: The backbone of the order, these are recruits who have proven themselves in battle, and often earn their rank after just 2 battles Recruit: May they be bandits-turn-crusaders or a just plain fool, these men are often given little respect until they earn their rank Jest: Someone who has left the order without the knowledge of any of the Ehrenritter and have returned after many elven months. These men are almost encouraged to go beserk in battle. Oath of Kinship The house holds open arms to all! Simply say this oath before an Ehrenritter or a man of higher rank and you're most of the way there to becoming a recruit (if you haven't filled out the application ofcourse) I __ swear total loyalty to the emperor, to GOD, and to the house. If I fail to uphold the laws of Horen's children and serve politely among my brethren, may GOD strike me down! I swear to help the poor and the rich, and to slay the heretics and monsters that plague this world. I shall strike evil down in my path and will serve GOD! God save the emperor, for God is most powerful. I swear to be a noble brother. IV. How to Join! ((will post app format below!)) All of this may be subject to change, give feedback below!:D

I will say this is really nicely written though it seems too much like a cervitaur with a snake body, perhaps a more argonian style thing?
