Almost forgot to mention, there is another part to this which will be a separate lore post if/when this lore is accepted. It explains what happens after with the single Clay Man.

"Horen, otherwise named Man, known among mortals as Human, a creation well known for their stubborn concept of success. To strive to do better, bravely explore new worlds, gather endless knowledge to fill their ancient archives, Humans will never slow down their advance. But this nature, this drive Humans have will and has steered them into the harmful path of conflict, which as always, consumes those sucked into it with forever chaos, forever conflict. It is in Human blood to fight, whether it be foreign races, ancient evils or inevitably among themselves." ~Unknown The Man of Clay Long ago, high in the heavens above, was once an Aengul whom has now long been lost in the stretch of time. This Aengul, it had a simple being, as it merely was tasked with forever watch, to always be glancing down at the mortal world below. Despite repetition though, the Aengul was fond of watching the mortal way of life. The races, the creations whom banded together to rise grand civilizations and turned on each other to only fall what they had built. This was all interesting to the Aengul, but one being, one simple race, Man, snatched the greater interest of the Aengul. It kept a close eye on Man, it watched for ages and ages, soon having its interest of Man turn into a liking, then in time the liking to a love. But as this Aengul had grown to love man, it had also grown a hate of watching Man. Man suffered to dangers, Man lost many to conflict, Man was weak compared to all else. This was unfair in the eyes of the Aengul, very unfair indeed. The Aengul could bare Man’s suffering no more, it had made it’s goal to protect man and had devised a plan which would protect Man from all harm. The Aengul travelled down to the mortal realm below, collecting clay from the soil, then sculpting together a statue that resembled that of an armored man. It was satisfied with the statue, then made more, hundreds more identical to that of the first. But something happened, another of the same kind as the Aengul, had come down from above, attacked the Aengul while it was working on another statue, leaving it in the mortal realm to parish, then disappeared to back from where it had came. The now dying Aengul had failed his reason of being in the eyes of the other, for it’s purpose was to watch, not make change. The dying Aengul, with it’s time soon coming to an end was left devastated. It loved Man, it was so close to saving Man, it would not let Man down. The dying Aengul with it’s final gasp, had blown a powerful breath into the deformed statue it had been working on, and with the end of that, ceased to be. Soon after, the statue rose from where it lay looking around in a state of confusion, but in the end the thoughts came rushing it. It’s purpose was to protect Man. --- OOC: First lore I’ve ever written for this server, hope you guys like it. It’s basically an old legend/folktale, which if ‘good’ in concept, I plan to further write lore into to possibly make a reality? This would mean I would need to delve into depth about the ‘Aengul,’ it’s purpose, why it died, what happened in specifics, etc, etc. Either way, feel free to leave feedback below! ~Your friendly neighbourhood Ggt

Having connections spread far throughout all of the current Human 'Kingdoms.' Currently stationed in Aesterwald, the White Stag offer their aid which includes transporting, protecting, constructing, and fighting to all those who they deem fit to recieve their services (They work for coin, out of respect, or out of their own selfish needs. They are currently 'vassalized' under Aesterwald). `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ ´°ï¦ï°` `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ `•.,¸,••,¸,.•´ `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ ´°ï¦ï°` `•.,¸,• •,¸,.•´ •.,¸,• . . . . . . . . . . . •.,¸,• _______________________ •.¸.•°ö°•.¸.•º¨¦¨º•.¸. Joining the White Stag º¨¦¨º º°”˜`”°”˜`”°º°*"˜.•°*"˜*"˜*:•. Training By enlisting into the White Stag, you're guaranteed the expertise of some of the greatest sword masters formerly known to the Stag. You will be taught formally (RPly) and properly (PvPly) to use either a two handed sword of sorts, or a long sword, on request. With that, a White Stag recruit is also educated correct and effective use of multiple armor types, plate-mail and plate armor most of all; as well as some knowledge with a shield, however, less expertise lies with shield training compared to any other weapon or armor training. The White Stag has an almost Academy like side to it, of course with the military aspect, but there is so much to learn from being in and around the White Stag. The students are often the teachers, and everyone has something to offer in knowledge. Other, optional yet encouraged training and/or education are listed in the following (You'll be trained in RP as well as forced to grind the mechanics): - Hunting - Smithing - Archery - Seafaring - Basic strategy/Tactics ¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜*•¯¨`¨˜ˆ¤´´˜“°'*'°”`˜` ¤ˆ˜¨´¨¯•*˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨ By enlisting into the White Stag, you are permitted to wear a uniform; there are only two types of uniforms which are open to customization for the user, that being the "Officer's Issue" and the "Standard Issue" uniforms. New recruits don't walk around with the gleaming white-plate armor marked with the White Stag sigil engraved over its collar, only officers are within their right to adorn themselves with such armor. When you join, simply ask the Quartermaster or Iroh for a uniform and he shall have one made. ¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜*•¯¨`¨˜ˆ¤´´˜“°'*'°”`˜` ¤ˆ˜¨´¨¯•*˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨ Rank Hierarchy The hierarchy of authority, or ranking system, within the White Stag is fairly simple and easy to follow. The following is a list of the current ranks in order of least authority to highest authority: NCO Positions: • [stag Pvt.] (Private. Recruits.) • [stag Cpl.] (Corporal. Someone who has ranked up by proving them self.) • [stag Spc.] (Specialized jobs like healer, tactician, etc.) • [stag Sgt.] (Sergeant. Someone who has ranked up by either completing their training or earning a/the position.) Naval CO Positions: • [stag Cpt.] (Captain. A person who is a captain of a ship in the Navy) • [stag Admiral] (Officer's who make all tactical decisions for all seafaring forces) CO Positions: • [stag] (Everyone who got to this point from ranking up but doesn't fall under any other category) • [stag Lt.] (Lieutenant. An officer who keeps steady control of the ranks, often a second-in-command position. No specialty value.) • [stag Trainer] (People who train in different things) • [stag Mjr.] (Major. Officer's who make critical decisions for the White Stag when the Commander(s) is away, Second-in-command to Iroh) • [stag General] (Iroh. General's, they have ultimate control over the operations and functions of the White Stag. They make all important decisions for the guild. Their word is law within the Stag.) Specialty Positions: • [bronze Stag] (Muscle. Bronze Stag's act as bodyguards and such. Bronze and brawn.) • [black Stag] (Executioners. Black Stag's are the jailors and wardens of the guild. They often use the Bronze Stag's to assert the laws of the guild for them, and keep everyone in line.) • [Gold Stag] (Veterans. Those who have served in the Stag for the max of twenty five years. They are looked up upon and respected within the Stag.) NCO Ranks - The positions listed in the NCO ranks are those known as "Non-Commissioned Officers", as in, your authority other over members of the guild is limited. You don't make critical decisions, you don't train or teach other members, you don't wear the decorative White Stag armor, and you don't lead. Your job as one of these members is to learn, discipline yourself, train, and observe. Your dedication, progress, and attitude will reflect the future outcome of your place in the White Stag. A lesson learned within the ranks is that a man reaps what he sews. CO Ranks - The positions listed in the CO ranks are those known as "Commissioned Officers", which is a position of authority and leadership in the White Stag. If you are a Stag, you are more than likely the result of well appreciated loyalty and hard work put into the guild, or better yet you have proved yourself to be an instructor of new recruits. As a Stag(or higher), you likely have a specific job other than simply being a trainee and the muscle for the White Stag. This specific job will suit your position as an officer. ¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜*•¯¨`¨˜ˆ¤´´˜“°'*'°”`˜` ¤ˆ˜¨´¨¯•*˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨ Enlisting Fill out an application format and send it to the White Stag (Post below) or contact a recruiter.

They give orders for a reason, not to make your life miserable. • Do not harm, wish harm to, steal from, or dishonor another White Stag member(s). They are your brothers and sisters and would give their life for your own. • Do not assault anyone, or cause discord in foreign lands, or threaten others. We work with society to protect the people and assert order, not to inflate chaos and violence. • Do not insult or disrespect the nobility or Lord's/Lady's. • To dishonor yourself is to dishonor the Guild. • Do not draw arms or bear armors, unless in uniform, in a place we are unfamiliar with. The White Stag does not wish to threaten or stir uneasiness in foreign lands. • Desertion from the White Stag is dishonorable, and will result in shaming and excommunication from the White Stag. More laws to come with time. ¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜*•¯¨`¨˜ˆ¤´´˜“°'*'°”`˜` ¤ˆ˜¨´¨¯•*˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨ Allies and partnerships • "Greyborn & Son's" - Partnership - "Greyborn & Son's" is the official arms and armor supplier of the White Stag. • "Drunken Monk's Inn" - Partnership - "Drunken Monk's Inn" is one of the White Stag's favourite and most respected taverns. They are especially known within White Stag ranks for their amazing tea. The White Stag supplies the inn with whatever supplies are needed, as well as offers free protection. ¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜¨ˆ´´˜“°'°”`˜*•¯¨`¨˜ˆ¤´´˜“°'*'°”`˜` ¤ˆ˜¨´¨¯•*˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨˜“°'°”`˜`ˆ¨¨ Guild To-Do's - Set up a payroll for recruits and members. - Set up a hierarchy of medals/ribbons to award members for well appreciated services and duties. - Set up a treasury and elect a treasurer. - Acquire currency. - Complete construction of guild hall (40% done).
