THE SONS OF SAINT TYLOS The First Bannermen of Freimark Depiction of bannermen scouting the land around Freimark. For many centuries since tribal times, the Reinmaren military and equestrian tradition has evolved and proven itself. Likewise, so has the Barclay Dynasty built itself upon the column of War since its founding by Baron Wilheim, ever since proving its efficiency in commanding armies and soldiers. Two distinguished Barclays led the first Barclay militia during the dynasty’s beginnings: Wilheim Barclay, whose descendants continued leading the Haeseni armies as marshals, generals and soldiers. On Wilheim’s side was his cousin, Saint Tylos Barclay, with whom he founded the first Landser Corps, and whose sons descended a line of piousness and service to GOD and his Church. The two Barclay commandants, with aid from the House of Jazloviecki as lieutenants and soldiers within the Landsers, were able to grow the order into a formidable and loyal force, serving as bannermen of House Barclay and Haense during the War of Two Emperors. Since those days, the two lineages of the Barclay titans have separated, and that of Saint Tylos found itself residing in the South, now being Counts in the Principality of Savoy. Despite the trials of time, the Dynasty, as taught by tradition, has stayed true to its roots, be these the roots of the peasant humbleness, or those of familiar relations and reinforcement of traditions. Thus, shall the army of the Sons of Saint Tylos be founded by decree of Ernst Barclay, descendant of Saint Tylos and Count von Freimark, with the assistance of Borys Jazloviecki as Hauptmann von Freimark. GOTT MIT UNS The Coat of Arms of The Sons of Saint Tylos THE STORY OF SAINT TYLOS Patron Saint of Stonemasonry, Cavalry, and Lost Causes; Symbolized by a White Stallion Artist's depiction of Saint Tylos' flight over New Reza While this virtuous man’s early years may have been unremarkable, it was the battle which consumed his lifetime that would truly cause word of his virtue to reach the ears of the masses. A man who came from common birth, as the War of Two Emperors sparked alight, so too did a passion to join spark in his soul soon after. Unlike his comrades in his lack of battle experience, St. Tylos would nevertheless pledge himself under the banner of Emperor Joseph I and begin fighting against the Pertinaxi-Horen dynasty. With little else but the armor and horse he had spent the entirety of his savings on, Tylos rode out to join together with the Emperor’s forces in order to face the enemy. Victory after victory marked the early years of the war for Tylos and the Josephite armies, and he found himself befriending many men he fought beside, like the future Lord Protector Adrian de Sarkozy. However, soon enough, the might of the Josephite army and St. Tylos himself would be put to the test. At the Siege of Helena, the Pertinaxi forces won an immense victory and the Orenian forces a great defeat. It was here that the side of Joseph I would be weakened, as nations like Curon and Ves deserted the side of the Emperor. With this, as the Pertinaxi armies tore through the lands of Joseph I, St. Tylos and a small group of friends and soldiers dedicated themselves to an effort of guerilla warfare. While this would be unsuccessful in its greater goal due to them being greatly outnumbered, their self-sacrifice (as the majority of them died in this effort) allowed the citizens of Reza to evacuate before the Renatian forces attacked. In its vulnerable position, undefended by a wall, the troops took to the construction of an outer wall, yet the necessary supplies were not available for them to complete the erecting of this wall. Here, Tylos’s most significant miracle manifested. Before sleeping, the saint laid his cloak over a small pile of bricks. Yet, after a night devoted to prayer for the city’s defense, the soldiers awoke to an immense stock of stone--just enough to complete the wall in time. This very wall would cause the Renatian forces to sue for peace, at which time Haense became a vassal of the Renatian Emperor. Departing from Arcas, Tylos dedicated himself once more to another army, this time Ludvig VII’s in Kalden. Though once again, his side would eventually lose, Tylos’s heroic actions were innumerable. After the war’s conclusion, and a lifetime of combat, Tylos gave up the sword and shield and instead dedicated himself to traveling the countryside, preaching to the masses, and helping the recovery efforts after the war. He soon passed after decades of this most virtuous work and after these years of the knowledge of his work traveling the countryside along with him, the Kaldenic people would claim miracles by the intercession of Tylos and soon this word reached his homeland. Here, he would be known as St. Tylos of Kalden, and his most virtuous deeds of self-sacrifice and protection continue to inspire generations; during the height of the Inferi invasion, his apparition miraculously manifested in New Reza, riding through the town on a white stallion. Therefore, the Synod has affirmed his canonization and encourages the veneration of St. Tylos’s noble example of God’s virtue: self-sacrifice in protection of others. PURPOSE As descendants of the Landser Corps, so will the Sons of Saint Tylos serve as bannermen of House Barclay. They shall serve as levies of Count Ernst Barclay and his descendants, with GOD in their hearts, so as to protect the County of Freimark and the House of Barclay. The ranks of the Sons of Saint Tylos are filled in with abled soldiers, all willing to fight for their country and for GOD. It is filled with pious men and women, all honorable, and all true to their words. To be a Son of Saint Tylos, aside being a levy, means that you are part of something bigger than yourself, something that fights for the living and breathing heart of Freimark, and the faith in GOD. Those who have sworn to be trusted Sons of Saint Tylos, may only relinquish their oath upon an amount of service years, upon which they are rewarded as true soldiers of House Barclay, and strong warriors of Freimark. THE TENETS OF THE BLACK CROSS Written by Count Ernst Barclay von Freimark, the following tenets were decided upon readaptions of old Reinmaren and Barclay tenets. All Sons of Saint Tylos shall keep the Tenets of the Black Cross at heart, so that they may be pure and incorruptible, so that they may have purpose and morals of steel. I: Serve only your Liege and GOTT, may you swear to no other man. II: Hold your faith, and if so required, be prepared to enter the Seven Skies for it. III: Uphold your Schwur and honour, for it is the man’s word that makes him. IV: Flee not in the wake of struggle, for he who flees and betrays his brother was born a traitor. V: Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, be the sword protecting GOD’s men. VI: Respect your steed as if it was your own embodiment. The true Reinmaren values his stallion. VII: Do not look down on your fellow man, for everyone is equal in the eyes of GOD. VIII: Fight alongside your fellow soldiers as you would with your own brother, for they indeed are your siblings-at-arms. IX: Be brave, yet do not throw your life away for naught. X: Be humble at heart, and show obedience to your generals. Disobedience brings naught but ruin. TRADITIONS Artist's depiction of the Sons of Saint Tylos during a pilgrimage. Siblings-at-Arms Upon the emergence of the Barclay Marshalship tradition a century ago, Sir Wilheim and Duke Erwin Barclay introduced and reinforced one of the most important aspects upon which they built the armies under their command, this was brotherhood. The bonding of soldiers is not like that of mere workers, for a soldier fights for a cause, and a soldier puts their life on the line. The good soldier is one that can be trusted, and one who knows that he can trust his fellow soldiers shall excel in times of struggle. As continued throughout the Barclay Marshalship, the Sons of Saint Tylos shall also uphold the tradition of bonding within their ranks. All bannermen are Sons of Saint Tylos, and thus brothers in both arms and GOD, thus they ought to know to trust one another and fight alongside one another. They are to be brothers in both arms and spirit. Equestrian Tradition Emphasising and upholding the already-set traditions of the Reinmaren, the Sons of Saint Tylos shall similarly put value into their horses and their equestrian prowess. All those trained to be part of the army shall also be trained to adapt to the skill of horse riding and fighting on the saddle to an intermediate level. The best of these horse riders shall be held to higher esteem, and shall join the ranks of the Kavaliers. The Pilgrimage of Saint Tylos Following the example of a more recent tradition found amongst the members of House Barclay, the Pilgrimage of Saint Tylos shall also be held by the Sons of Saint Tylos. The long march shall be held every few years or about once a decade, and the travel route shall be decided during its planning phases. During the pilgrimage, those who shall join ought to adorn black clothing, so as to signify their walk of humbleness in the presence of GOD, and a minimum of four Holy Locations such as churches, monasteries or cathedrals must be visited. During such pilgrimages, as was a large one held by Duke Erich Barclay, a practice emerged where those who met the pilgrims of Saint Tylos were invited to join along, so as to praise GOD all together. Such practice shall also be held within the Pilgrimages of the Sons of Saint Tylos. The Feast of the Tribe Derived from the old Reinmaren das Fest des Stammes, or the Feast of the Tribe, it is a rekindled tradition in which the soldiers are gathered by their liege every few years in order to have a collective feast of revelry. The men feast on goats bred in their own land, as was the tradition derived from the chieftain Galim, descendant of the great Chief Hosha. The goat was used as the chieftains own signifying animal, where he wore a helmet adorning the imagery of a goat. As per the tradition, the goats on which the Sons of Saint Tylos shall feast will be slaughtered by them, for he who wishes to feast must first work their share. Der Schwur Translated from Waldenian, the Schwur means the 'Word of Honor' in the Reinmaren context. The concept is based upon faithfulness toward one's word in the form of loyalty or as an allegiance guarantee. The Schwur contains mores toward obligations to the family and, a friend, and the army, the demand to have internal commitment, loyalty and solidarity when conducting oneself with others and secrecy in relation to outsiders. All Sons of Saint Tylos shall hold their Schwur, and be true to their word, which they shall hold sacred. RANKS Der Kommandant des Schwarzen Kreuzes / The Commander of the Black Cross The title of the Commander of the Black Cross shall be held by the Barclay in charge of the army. All the Sons of Saint Tylos answer to the Commander, who delegates work between them, overseeing training and infrastructure as well as delegating work between officers. The Commander of the Black Cross shall be a title held by the Count von Freimark himself, who shall pass it to his heir, so that the young may follow the footsteps of the old, and thus gain their own experience in leading an army. Der Hauptmann von Freimark / The Captain von Freimark The Hauptmann is the right hand man of the Commander, and is appointed by him. He shall ensure the appointment and recruitment of Lieutenants within the bannermen. The Hauptmann leads in battle if all the companies are participating, doing so upon the request or the absence of the Kommandant. Der Leutnant / The Lieutenant The Leutnant is the last officer rank within the Landsers, being entrusted with a company of their own with about five Bannermen. The Leutnant answers only to the Hauptmann and the Kommandant, and also gives them advice. They lead in battle if they have their own company is involved, however, upon the presence of the Hauptmann, their role may be changed depending on the battle. The Leutnants are in charge of leading day-to-day training, making the soldiers battle-ready. For a Landser to become a Leutnant, they have to show interest and initiation for such, they shall hold trainings, and aid the army during their trial phase. Der Landser von Sankt Tylos / The Landser of Saint Tylos With its name derived from the original Barclay Landsers, the Landsers of the Sons of Saint Tylos are the distinguished warriors and soldiers between their brothers. All bannermen should aspire to emulate the image of the Landser. The Landser has served the realm and the Barclay family well, and as a result is in line for promotion to be a Hauptmann. The Landser is in the frontline as a deadly soldier with might. Although it is not a requirement for all Landsers, those of the rank may act as officers and leaders of the Bannermen, granted they wish to do so, adding more utility to the rank. Der Bannermann / The Bannerman The bannerman is the backbone of the Sons of Saint Tylos , being an oathed soldier for GOD, Realm and the Barclays. All Bannermen are expected to have some degree of experience within the army, as well as some battle experience. They pour their body and their soul into their craft, and are proven members of the community. Only after having shown dedication and presence within the army may a Novitiate be elevated to the rank of the Bannerman through taking the Oath of Saint Tylos Das Noviziat / The Novitiate The Novitiates is the essential backbone of the Sons of Saint Tylos, for it makes up the initiates, the fresh faces who will achieve and rise through the ranks. The Novitiates are men yet to be oathed, thus they train daily, attend battles within companies under the watchful eye of the commanders. SPECIALIZED RANKS Depiction of to Kavaliers von Freimark, one approaching a Schmied. Trumpeter / Trompeter The Trompeter is the representative of his army, carrying a brass trumpet to the battle. The Trompeter is responsible for announcing the entrance and exit of a particular company, playing the company’s selected anthem. It is chosen among particularly talented bannermen, to represent their comrades. Medisch / Medic The Medisch is an essential for any company within the Corps. Being a trained physician, the medisch ensures that the wounded comrades are taken care of, with their wounds dressed and their illnesses tended. The medisch also does the sideline job of ensuring all the basic physical needs of their comrades are met, such as nourishment and water and shelter. Schmied / Smith The Schmied of the army serves as the backbone of the forging of the military equipment. They are in charge of forging arms and armour for the army, and they are paid and rewarded accordingly. More than one Schmied can be part of the army, however he in charge of the subdivision is called the Meisterschmied von Freimark. Kavalier / Cavalier Carrying out the equestrian tradition initiated in the first Landser company and the beginnings of House Barclay, so will the Sons of Saint Tylos put heavy importance on the establishment of a good cavalry force. Those horsemen of the army shall be dubbed Kavalier, and he in charge of them all shall be named the Masterkavalier von Freimark. Kaplan / Chaplain Assigned as a direct representative of the church within the bannermen, the Chaplain is a priest, enlisted as a Son of Saint Tylos or not, whose aim is to further increase the relation of the bannermen with the church. They serve as spiritual guides, leaders in collective prayer and during the pilgrimages, and also as catechists for the Novitiates who are yet to convert to Canonism. THE OATH OF SAINT TYLOS Depiction of a Landser of Saint Tylos Any man wishing to bear the title as a Son of Saint Tylos must swear an oath in a ceremony, in the presence of a Lieutenant or above, within sight of the Barclay blade, the Black Cross, a banner of Freimark, and a Lorraine cross. Under the Black Cross, I kneel with my brothers Under the Green and Blue Banner, I pledge to no others Before my Liege, I come forth Before GOD, I bow my head, he shall be witness to my oath. With blade in hand, I pledge my sword With clenched fist, I swear my bond With brothers by my side, I awaken at night With open heart, my guide shall be GOD’s light. From battle I shan’t avert Such do those who traitors were born. To my last hour I shall keep alert That I uphold to what I have sworn So I pray, Saint Tylos keep me, To be his Son, I beg he heed me To call those by my side my siblings I shall hold them tighter than my feelings So I pledged my oath, As a man I came forth Now I raise, as Saint Tylos’ Son May my service be forever undone Until the light is gone, Until the water is gone, Until my life is gone, Wielding my sword in valour until my breath is gone.

Ernst Barclay smiles the sun's smile as another Barclay Bargain is conducted.

Ernst Barclay would prepare to take his Landsers on patrol as the notice found its way on his hands. He chuckled a bit as he looked about his men "Guess we have another thing we can do right now"

Ernst Barclay returns home after a fruitful day of leading the Brigade's men through the holy Canonist mission. He signed the Lorraine then, offered brief thanks and prayers to GOD and Saint Tylos, and went to sleep tardily.

Ernst Barclay blinked a few times as word of the Reinmaren Bishops' intrigues caught his southern ear. The man signed the lorraine, praying for Saint Tylos to mediate and fix the family's disputes, hoping for them to find fairness and justice.

Ernst Barclay signs the lorraine piously as he nods a few times "Ein Principality under GOTT, with ein Brigade under GOTT. Praise be!"

Ernst Barclay nodded with a smile "As ist right" he said. The Barclay would dip his head to his good friend Ulrich the next time he'd see him "Your Highness" he'd greet.

Erich Barclay kneels in the Seven Skies for the based King.

Ernst Barclay, now humbly the Baron of Freimark stood before His Serene Highness, Olivier Renault as the announcement was made in court. With a hand on his heart and a bowed head, the descendant of Saint Tylos smiled widely, his work was rewarded; not only with a Barony, but a Godly nation he could proudly serve. With a heavy heart, he cheered "Fur GOTT, und Savoy!"

Ernst assigns his relative to do guard duty during his wedding too, seeing how dedicated of a sl*ve he was.

Ernst hopes that Our Lady of the Tavern Corazon does not bring a rag, he signs the lorraine to accompany his prayers. "Those we preserve to smoke in memory of the opposition Reinhardt." explained Ernst as he heard of his cousin's plan from the servant. "Already smoked ein pack before though, they were good"

THE UNION OF BARCLAY AND D’ARYN The Wedding of Ernst Barclay and Amadea d’Aryn Penned on the 20th of Snow’s Maiden, 1838 In the sight of GOD, the pair of Ernst Barclay and Amadea d’Aryn are to be wed within the coming days of the warm southern summer.

THE MAYOR’S OFFICE OF SAN LUCIANO Penned by the Office of the Lord Steward On the 4th of Deep Cold, 1937 Any terms in this Edict referencing the ‘Lord Mayor’ shall also apply to the ‘Lady Mayor’ respectively. Since time immemorial, Man has required leadership. He has required governance and he has required management. Likewise, since time immemorial, Man has had leaders, princes, kings, emperors. However, as a Principality grows, so do its subjects, and so does the responsibility of governing these subjects. Thus, as the domains of His Serene Highness expand, so does the work required to to oversee and administer these domains. For this reason, with the counsel and permission of His Serene Highness, Oliver Renault de Savoie, the Lord Steward of Savoy finds it fit to found the Lord Mayor’s Office of San Luciano, the Crown City of Savoy. THE LORD MAYOR’S OFFICE As of the establishment of the Lord Mayor’s Office, it shall be that the Office is held under the supervision and authority of the Office of the Lord Steward.

One individual cannot run for the position for more than three elections. - The Lord Mayor of San Luciano shall be tasked with the management and administration of the City of San Luciano, which may include, but is not limited to: Management of social and cultural institutions: including the writing of literature of Savoyard culture, organization of city-wide events, etcetera. Representation of the people of San Luciano in the Office of the Lord Steward, who in turn shall act as an intermediary to the Prince’s Council. Furthermore, they shall sit in the Grand Assembly as Representative of the Common People. Assisting the growth of San Luciano’s economy with help from the Office of the Lord Steward and Royal Treasurer alike, making sure that businesses are provided the best opportunities for growth.

Changing or presenting new infrastructure in San Luciano, reassuring that the city’s appearance remains as vibrant and efficient as possible Managing the Town Criers of San Luciano, as well as other workers under the Office of the Lord Mayor. THE ELECTIONS OF SAN LUCIANO As important as the role of the aforementioned leaders are, equally important are the ways these leaders of Man are chosen, as well as the following of such systems. Thus, the process through which the Lord Mayor of San Luciano is elected, shall be established as follows: - THE GATHERING OF THE POPULACE: The Lord Steward, - or someone of their choosing in the case of their absence - is to call a town gathering, accumulating as residents as possible during the beginning of the year, preferably during the Amber’s Cold or the Deep Cold (OOC: Monday or Tuesday) before the elections. There, they shall announce the upcoming elections for the position of the Lord Mayor in front of the populace. After such announcement, the Nominations of Candidates shall begin, and those able and willing may register themselves as nominees for the position of Lord Mayor. - THE FIRST INTRODUCTIONS: Once the Nominations begin, during the same gathering of the populace, those willing to put themselves forth as nominees, will be given the stage to briefly introduce themselves, their ideologies and their plans to the Populace, thus being able to address the people of San Luciano directly. - THE NOMINATIONS OF CANDIDATES: The phase of the Nomination of Candidates shall then begin after the addresses, and those who decide to run for the position shall have the next month to sign themselves up. - THE CAMPAIGNS: As soon as a candidate steps forth for the position, they shall have the remainder of the Saint’s Week, until the end of the Grand Harvest (OOC: Saturday) to carry out their campaigning around San Luciano. Campaign posts are encouraged, though even more encouraged and allowed shall be further gatherings of the populace for the spreading of the Candidates’ agendas and ideas; for it is important to know the people, in order to serve the people. Such gatherings can be conducted by Candidates as long as they do not overlap with official city events or greatly disturb the city’s peace. Town Criers may be called upon in order to carry out the gathering of the populace for any Candidate’s address. - THE ELECTIONS: After the Campaigns, the Elections shall begin during the Sun’s Smile (OOC: Sunday), and shall last through the entirety of the month, and all the populace of San Luciano shall be able to vote for their preferred candidate.

THE CENSUS THE TOWN CRIERS OF SAN LUCIANO Lastly, following this Edict, the positions of Town Criers shall be introduced in the City of San Luciano.

The Criers shall be led by the Lord Mayor, and in their absence, by the Lord Steward. IN NOMINE DEI, HIS SERENE HIGHNESS, Olivier Renault Ashford de Savoie, Prince of Savoy, Duke of Corazon, Count of San Luciano HIS EXCELLENCY, Ernst Barclay, Lord Steward of San Luciano, Royal Exchequer of Savoy

Ernst Barclay sighed, dipping and shaking his head as he read his relative's declaration "The stubbornness of man" the young let another sigh escape him, signing the lorraine. The lad then went in search of his cousin, hoping to find him before he did anything else.

Ernst Barclay smiled widely, happy for the union of his cousin and Heir to the Principality. The man then went to fix out the best clothes he could find.

The same Barclay on the seven Skies would pat anyone but Ser Ailred on his back, knowing the BSK is definitely not being carried upon by him. He then tries to go pat Heinrik on the back, for he single-handedly carried the current Marshal to his position. "What a hard worker that Heinrik is!"

A certain Barclay in the Seven Skies remember the quality Barclay showed with their century-long Marshalship whilst K*rts were barely on life support. He then remembers the period of Four Barclay Aulics and the BSK that Erwin Barclay raised almost single-handedly. "These Barclays are good for nothings" he agrees, definitely seriously so

Ernst Barclay kneels for the first Dual Count of Reinmar-Kretzen "Even when they demote you, you make history Johann" chuckled the Southern Barclay towards his Northern kin

Ernst Barclay claps for the braves heroes, though at the same time regretting he wasn't there to help on their quest. "GOTT be praised!" he says finally as he signs the Lorraine.

The Stallion's Stall Inn _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3rd of Malin's Welcome. Year 40 SA San Luciano Depiction of the Stallion’s Stall in on a relatively busy night _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ === CONTEXT === The Stallion’s Stall Inn was founded in 39 SA by the three Barclay brothers Jurgen, Ernst, and Volmar, with the blessing and support of His Serene Highness, Prince Oliver Renault de Savoie (@Lionbileti) in the blessed city of Saint Luciano. Laying its foundations in a prime location just in front of the city’s gates, the Inn’s main aim is to offer the good people of Savoy, as well as newcomers and travelers, a place to rest, drink, eat, converse, and enjoy their time, be it day or night. Equipped with a main bar room in its ground floor, a bouffe, a hookah room, bathhouses and rental rooms in its second and third floors, the Stallion’s Stall continues proudly expanding in both personnel, menu, and services. === MENU === Due to its relatively recent beginnings, the variety of the tavern’s menu continues to expand together with its clientele and staff. Whilst the majority of the drinks offered as of now are of Reinmaren origins, due to Volmar Barclay’s specialty in producing just such drinks, more drinks of both Savoyard and foreign origins have begun to be supplied. Some of these goods include the following: Black Lager: Pale Ale: Coffee von Grand === EVENTS === Throughout its first year of serving customers, the Stallion’s Stall has been able to provide numerous tavern nights to the citizens of Saint Luciano, as well as foreign travelers. With these gatherings usually turning the tavern into a lively center of drinking, conversing and entertainment within the city, many of the inn’s customers tend to leave it feeling rather content. Although not many specialized events have been held yet, the Inn’s staff have begun talks and preparations to offer its patrons many more ways to share joy and entertain themselves. Yet another depiction of the Stallion’s Stall in on a relatively busy night === THE BARCLAY BRAWL === WORK IN PROGRESS One of these plans is The Barclay Brawl. Consisting of the construction of a lower basement and brawling pit beneath the Inn, the Barclay Brawl will allow the hardened residents of Saint Luciano to both view and enter organized brawling matches. Prizes will be awarded, titles for the best fighters will be given, and tournaments will be held once the project is complete. Depiction of the Barclay Brawl fighting pit below the Inn === BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES === Having already recruited a fair amount of competent staff, the Stallion’s Stall Inn continues its search and encourages the employment of anyone willing to work as a Tavern Keeper, so as to keep the inn active and ready to await customers as much as possible. Alongside Tavern Keepers, the Stallion’s Stall is also in an active lookout to hire Bards, Musicians and Poets, or any other entertainer willing to offer their services for our customers. Furthermore, as already conducted with Holy Sir August Jazloviecki @Mykei , the Inn also seeks potential Business Partners who would be able to supply products to be added to the menu, along other services, depending on the potential partners. In order to be hired or partnered with the Inn, please feel encouraged to contact any of the Barclay brothers ( @GoodGuyMatt, @rep2k, @argonian) or one of our right hand-men Branden Baldwyck (@Lickspittle) in order to be redirected. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part of the Barclay Bargains™ Union GOTT MIT UNS. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Signed, the Barclay Brothers
