      Firearms were used during the medieval era, from 1200 and onwards as primitive handheld cannons, and arquebuses during 14th century. LotC with firearms will still be medieval fantasy

      Something something gunpowder artillery is a medieval technology.

  2. What makes you say server has passed medieval times? Irl and LotC are two different things. It’s like having machine guns during the siege of Helm’s Deep
  3. No, they have no place on lotc. Simply because this is a /medieval/ fantasy server and I’m pretty sure the majority of the players want to experience that, and not the indutstry revolution. And not only that, sooner or later said firearms will take over the server thus lowering the playerbase... Yes I agree it would be something new, but its not LotC friendly, what will come next? WW1 trench warfare? No thank you I do not want to experience that, and many others would agree with me.
  4. The Order of Nicea The Order of Nicea is a military Order tasked with upholding the peace, promoting justice, safety and security, as well as defending the lives of those residing in the Duchy of Savinia. Activities of the Order include combat training in both land and sea, monster hunting, criminal hunting, the completion of various quests and preservation of peace and justice. “Castles are to be conquered, not to be surrendered” - Ser Demetrios Palaiologos II History of the Order Ser Demetrios Palaiologos II and his men making their last stand at Kraken’s Watch, dated 1562 Named after the Akritian word for ‘Victory’, as well as in honor of the fallen soldiers in the great fort of old, the Order of Nicea was created by Duke Romanos Palaiologos, inspired by the defensive system of the First Akritians. That system, the Themata as it was called, stopped putting emphasis into armoured and professionally trained heavy infantry, to provincial spearmen and swordsmen. While it was a rather unheard of system during its time, it proved to be rather effective. The soldiers, now fighting for a cause they believed it and for something they wished to protect, battled with great ferocity, courage and a drive to win, pushing back and defeating standard armies. It wasn't until the battle of Nicopolis that this system collapsed. Romanos Palaiologos, desiring to protect his lands, as well as returning his family to it's roots, decided to use the old system of the Themata, with certain alterations to improve it so that the mistakes of old do not repeat themselves. Thus, after various preparations, the Order of Nicea was born, rising like a phoenix from the ashes. Now ruled by his Grandson, Michael Palaiologos. The Order Romanos Palaiologos leading his men in the battle for Trier, dated 1619 The Order signifies the fusion of the old system of the Themata with the current sophistication of the military. The entire former Duchy itself was split into various sections called ‘Orders’, with each order being led by a distinguished officer. The rank of the officer is dependent on the size of his ‘Order’ as well as the number of men under his command. The officer has total control over his ‘Order’ and is responsible for the population he is protecting, the training and equipment of the men under his command, the betterment of his land and the preservation of tranquillity. In times of peace, it is up to the officer to make sure that his men continue training, not desiring war but being ready for it. It is also up to the officer to decide what kind of training his men need, whether they be infantry, cavalry or a mixture of both.In times of war, the officer rallies his men, joins the rest of the Orders and as one single force they march to battle, ready to defend their homeland. Chain of Command “Follow the Banner as we carve ourselves a path through the ranks of those who dare go against us”- Thoros Phokas =-= High Command =-= There are two ranks in the High Command, with each rank having almost the exact same privileges and obligations. Members of the High Command handle matters regarding the Order in it's entirety, as well as having a seat at the Council. Thus, it is mandatory that they have extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the Order, logistics,military experience, experience leading as well as commanding authority and respect. Only one man at a time can hold a position of High Command. Thoros Phokas battling during the Siege of Rhewengrad, date 1537 Strategos The General is the right hand of the Patriarch of House of Palaiologos. It is the highest rank a man can possibly achieve within the Order. =-= Officers =-= There are two ranks that signify a member as an officer, with the difference between each land is the amount of men and land at an officer's command, as well as some special positions and tasks they can carry out. An officer has control over the men in his Order and is responsible for them. However, he cannot command members of other Orders, no matter the difference in rank. Tagmatarches The Major is the rank given to those who hold an Order of large size, with a large number of men under his command. A Major is usually a battle hardened warrior, with leading experience. He is capable of organizing raids and in the rare absence of both the General and the Duke, a Major can lead the army into battle. Hecatontarchos The rank of Hecatontarchos is given to those warriors who have proven themselves capable of leading groups of men into battle. They are charged with completing missions and various tasks and with permission from the High Command, patrol the Duchy. Archedekarchos The rank of Dekarchos is given to those warriors who have proven themselves in the battlefield, capable of fighting and training soldiers when the Hecatontarchos is attending to other matters. The A/Dekarchos is his right hand man. Dekarchos The junior rank of A/Dekarchos. They are trained to lead the army in the future, train it and maintain it through the years. Pentarchos The lowest officer rank a soldier may get. It is common to be given those who prove their loyalty during their first years of serving in the army, these officers one day may rise in the chain of command. The Akritian Cataphracts, famous for their battle prowess. =-= Soldiers =-= Scoutatos The rank of Scoutatos is given to the soldiers of the Order whose strength and loyalty have been tested time and time again. They hold considerable military experience, having spent years in the Order. Palios Akritian Footman, circa 1619 Paleos or Paleoi are members who have fully joined the Order. This rank is the rank most members have, as it is given to those who don't have a good amount of experience in warfare. They are tasked with doing lots of hard labor, practising hard to improve their skills. As a result, an experienced and dedicated Scoutatos tends to be more skilled than someone with a similar rank. Neos Neos or Neoi is the rank given to those who have just enlisted to the Order. They have no or little combat experience and their loyalty isn't tested. Thus, they are often treated rather harshly, giving them tough tasks to see if they can endure. Those who after a time limit have shown all the necessary qualities, stop being recruits and start being footmen. Special Ranks There are some ranks in the army which require certain skills to attain. Some of these ranks may be available to only specific standard ranks, others may require certain years of experience and others may be a matter of ability. A member can attain such a position if he has the ability to do so, but without any privileges within the army. Whatever the prerequisite, these special ranks mean that you have a talent in more than just warfare. Stratopedarches A quartermaster is responsible with making or acquiring and distributing equipment to the members of the Order he is part of. He must be at least a Footman. Medic A medic is responsible with saving lives just as much as he is responsible of ending them. He is tasked with healing the injuries of men both in training and in battle. Depending on the skill of the person, a Medic can be a footman or a Man at Arms. Varangian The Varangians, after the battle for Trier, 1619. The Varangian is the rank of the mercenaries who have decided to serve the Dukes of Mystra for as long as he affords their service. They are the elite force of the Order. Bandophoroi Tasked with the most glorious task, carry the Akritian banner. An honour only for the few. [!] A salary is given to each soldier per year, standard salary is a hundred and fifty minas, they can earn extra coin through missions and guard duty and by getting promotions.
