The Order of The Lubba Founded Year 77 of the second age Through many wars we have fought and seen many men and women fight for what they believe in, though mostly as a settlement consisting of mercenaries it is seen that there is a yearning for stability. A stability in forces at the Keep and other holdings under The Silver Lubba where coin will no longer dictate our capability to fight and have blades pledged to fight for our allies. CODE OF THE LUBBA KNIGHTS Seek honor among Lubba Knights and members of The Order of The Lubba at all times, for our honor is what we have. To uphold this honor a chivalric code has been established: I SERVE THE SILVER LUBBA IN VALOR II PROTECT THE WEAK AND DEFENSELESS III GUARD YOUR COMPATRIOT THEIR HONOR IV NEVER REFUSE A HONOR DUEL V GRANT RESPECT IN HUMILITY VI NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO OPPONENTS VII FEAR NO MAN, CREATURE OR CONSTRUCT VII SEEK NO REWARD BEYOND DUTY IX SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THAT IS DARK AND EVIL X RIGHTEOUS YOU WILL STAND A Lubba Knight commanding a small battalion of Man-At-Arms STRUCTURE OF THE ORDER THE SILVER LUBBA The Silver Lubba is the leader of this order on a personal level, ensuring everyone is treated right and sometimes even personally sparring with these knights to keep his combative prowess in check. The Silver Lubba is the only one who can grant one to progress through the chain of command of The Lubba Knights and is seen wandering with at least one Lubba Knight at his side when leaving his holdings. SILVER LUBBA KNIGHT Silver Lubba Knights are The Silver Lubba’s closest line of protection, the final line between those who wish harm upon the wellbeing of the band and The Silver Lubba themself. These members are devoted to their cause to be the greatest warriors the realm has seen and will go through great lengths to prove such. These individuals are often granted titles beyond their occupation and are given a chance to rule a charter of land or outpost within The Silver Lubba’s territory with the blessing of virtuous work to get to that point. These members of The Order Of The Lubba are the voice and acting body of The Silver Lubba. LUBBA KNIGHT The Lubba Knights have gone through vigorous training and have proven themselves to be knighted by The Silver Lubba themself from their Man-At-Arms stage where they had proven themselves to be most capable of combat, teamwork and upholding honor. Lubba Knights are granted the same level of authority as an eternal and captain in their respective divisions of The Silver Lubba Band during times of conflict. Granted upon reaching knighthood is the choice of wishing to continue further to a Silver Lubba Knight or to stay as Lubba Knight and claiming your title as Eternal Defender of the band with a chance at being granted a small plot of land for them and their family to thrive. MAN-AT-ARMS Men-At-Arms are those who have exceeded their Squire stage and with The Silver Lubba’s Blessing made it as a renowned warrior in the chivalric endeavor to climb the chains of command to become a Lubba Knight. Not many pass the trials that are posed as a Man-At-Arms, acting as both Warrior and guard for The Silver Lubba with quests and trials handed out by the upper chains which ultimately need to be completed by these members to prove their worth and devotion to the cause. At this stage, the Men-At-Arms no longer are up for hire as mercenaries and are only sent out to allies of the band to solve dire situations. SQUIRE Freshly picked out of the other divisions of The Silver Lubba Band, these individuals have been granted a chance to join The Order Of The Lubba and take their opportunity as Squire after being sworn to the Silver Lubba. Squires within The Order Of The Lubba are often seen a bit differently as they have already had experience in the other divisions of The Silver Lubba Band beforehand, they aid a chosen Man-At-Arms or Lubba Knight who will teach them the ways of upholding honor and chivalry among descendants. Squires will be sufficiently equipped with excellent armor from the workforce and their prefered weapon and supplied to aid their superior as well as they can. These Squires are trained endlessly and taught all the necessary knowledge to prove useful in any situation. Once their superior has established the Squire sufficient for promotion after years of tirelessly working, The Silver Lubba will personally evaluate the Squire to give judgment. A Lubba Knight standing firm before a holding of The Silver Lubba TRIALS OF THE LUBBA To progress through the ranks of The Order of The Lubba one must complete these trials and gain the favor of The Silver Lubba. To prove their worth to the order, they will be tested through the trials at hand as notable figures or previous Lubba Knights have done. For a Squire to progress to a Man-At-Arms, they must complete five of these trials in addition to gaining The Silver Lubba’s Favor. For a Man-At-Arms to progress to a Lubba Knight they must complete ten of these trials in addition to gaining The Silver Lubba’s Favor. For a Lubba Knight to progress to a Silver Lubba Knight then all trials must be completed with the blessing of The Silver Lubba. THE TRIAL OF JON THE ETERNAL | TRIAL OF ENDURANCE Jon the Eternal simply is, always present and exploring the realms to seek for new possibilities to solve issues. To complete this trial one must make the laborious trek across the realm as they are set out to complete a challenging and lengthy task presented by The Silver Lubba to aid within their holdings. THE TRIAL OF JAMES THE LOYAL | TRIAL OF LOYALTY James the Loyal stood firm alongside every Sutican monarch and leader in the past and earned their knighthood through endless service to Sutica regardless of who he served. For this trial one will be sent out to serve another leader in a temporary fashion for four years without faltering in loyalty to The Silver Lubba. THE TRIAL OF DOMONIC THE SHIELD | TRIAL OF COURAGE Domonic the Shield always stood firm in defense of the city and nation of Sutica, never giving up on a fight and always seeing it through regardless if such was the right thing to do or not. For the trial at hand one must protect a citizen of any nation or settlement from harm. THE TRIAL OF SARRION THE STARCALLER | TRIAL OF POWER Sarrion the Starcaller, as one of the later additions to the Lubba Knights during the Sutican era had shown immense power to the rest of the realm, efficiently and effectively they took care of many situations within the realm. Completion of the trial requires one to head out to seek an opponent magnitudes stronger than oneself and defeat them. THE TRIAL OF AMELIA THE BRAVE | TRIAL OF WILL Amelia The Brave was armless and one of the few warriors sent out to fight a war that was not ours and came out victorious with plenty of spoils and inflicted casualties under their belt for our allies. To complete this trial one must participate in a war for The Silver Lubba’s allies and come out victorious regardless of the circumstances surrounding said conflict. THE TRIAL OF MIKA THE RESOURCEFUL | TRIAL OF WIT Mika the Resourceful was bestowed his moniker through intense labor and mercantile endeavors. Healways seemed to have a better deal than somebody else and fueled the treasury through these practices, though that ended up not being the only part as in battle they commanded as effectively with what they had as possible. This is the only trial split in two parts, the first part of such being to acquire a set out sum of mina through whatever means as long approved by The Silver Lubba. The second part being to defeat a Lubba Knight in combat. THE TRIAL OF LILY OF THE WHISPERING ISLES | TRIAL OF LEADERSHIP Lily of The Whispering Isles was one of the longest ruling monarchs and found many new systems, groups and ways for the Old-Suticans to thrive in their realm. The Trial of Leadership is created in their honor to lessen the burden of all leaders and prepare one for ascending to Lubba Knight. The Trial of Leadership is completed upon successfully leading, this may be done with permission of The Silver Lubba to aid in leading a group of men and women either into battle or to complete a mission. THE TRIAL OF UTARIA THE SCHOLAR | TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE Utaria the Scholar maintained and gathered knowledge for the Sutican Library during its existence, ensuring knowledge was available to everyone in the realm and collected to add to the library. This trial requires one to collect knowledge that is deemed rare among the holdings of The Silver Lubba and approved by The Silver Lubba for completion. THE TRIAL OF CORWIN THE RIGHTEOUS | TRIAL OF JUDGMENT Corwin the Righteous led a lengthy life, a large part of it he served as knight under another kingdom and eventually became King of Sutica, firm in their beliefs they were challenged by an unwilling council. To complete this trial one must seek one that impairs to berate, insult and threaten the trialed while the trialed will stand righteous and tall among this period of time. THE TRIAL OF TERR’HI THE CROOKED | TRIAL OF BALANCE Terr’hi the Crooked once stood as patriarch of Uialbens within the realm, chaotic in nature they went through life as murderer, trickster, though also as defender of the realm when nobody else could bring thesmelves to do so. Seek the bit of chaos within yourself and start the journey of making such considerably less than it was before THE TRIAL OF THE SILVER LUBBA | TRIAL OF PERSISTENCE The Silver Lubba has gone through great lengths to keep their band afloat and to innovate new ways to maintain and grow throughout their life. Either through battle or actions they prove that persisting through anything is possible. Completion of this trial will be determined through a personal challenge posed by The Silver Lubba where one will not give up or otherwise fail. THE TRIAL OF THE CATACOMBS KNIGHTS | TRIAL OF SURVIVAL With limited resources The Order of The Catacombs was founded under Sutica’s Banner by Mika Uialben, starting out underground with little food and no formal backing at the start. Survive within the wilds of the realm for a year's time without aid from the civilized world. THE TRIAL OF THE BLUE LADYBUG | TRIAL OF THE HUNT The blue ladybug stands firm among Old-Sutican settlements although they were always hard to find elsewhere. Seek out a blue ladybug outside of Old-Sutican Realms and holdings then capture them alive. THE TRIAL OF THE DRAKE ISLES | TRIAL OF THE WARRIOR Sutica once stood firm on the Drake Isles, though certainly not without a challenge; fights and skirmishes were a common occurrence in the city and between groups and citizens of the state. Thus this trial is to prove your worth in combat by challenging three warriors, guards or knights of each independent realm to a honor duel and coming out victorious. THE TRIAL OF THE CREATOR | TRIAL OF INSPIRATION The Creator created all that is and was, though descendants have used such creations to make their own throughout their lives. Prove yourself worthy of the realm by creating a personal artifact for yourself, your family or your dynasty. A squire on their trials trekking through the mountains DUBBING The progress of being elevated from a Man-At-Arms to a full Lubba Knight within The Order of The Lubba is a ceremonious occasion for everyone involved. The fresh Lubba Knight will have gained their moniker through this ceremony, with all the members of The Silver Lubba Band gathered around. ACQUIRING A MONIKER A moniker is gained through the actions one has made through their ascension to Lubba Knight. Monikers stick around through the entirety of knighthood and sometimes beyond if they deem such is wanted. A moniker can be changed through service and notable actions that would instigate such change. ELEVATION TO LUBBA KNIGHT Once a Man-At-Arms finds themselves in the position of having completed all the trials necessary for their elevation to Lubba Knight, they need to await The Silver Lubba’s blessing. Once this blessing is acquired a ceremony will be held to elevate and celebrate one to become a Lubba Knight. Upon achieving knighthood within The Order of The Lubba one is granted plenty privileges such as: The ability to petition for a plot of land from The Silver Lubba The ability to command The Silver Lubba’s divisions with permission of The Silver Lubba Preferential treatment for acquiring a home if none is owned at that time Access to restricted section of The Silver Lubba’s holdings Access to before restricted resources of The Silver Lubba If a Lubba Knight retires, only a few of these privileges remain regarding housing and petitioning for a plot of land to accommodate them for their services.

STAND ETERNAL WITH HONOR AND GLORY! CEREMONY OF DUBBING The realms will be gathered and missives sent out to our allies for this momentous ceremony to elevate a Man-At-Arms to become a Lubba Knight of the realm. Once everyone is gathered that day, the one elevated and granted their moniker shall be celebrated the entire day by the Silver Lubba’s Holdings and the allies invited. The Ceremony goes as follows: The Silver Lubba stands upon a plateau with a ceremonial blade gripped by both hands facing downwards, calling forth the one in question. The Man-At-Arms will come forth from the crowd, setting one knee on the ground with their prefered weapon placed in front of them. The Silver Lubba will express approval and ask to cite the oath. The Man-At-Arms shall cite this oath Upon completion The Silver Lubba will raise his blade and tap the Man-At-Arm’s dominant shoulder with the flat side of the blade and offer a hand to the one being Elevated The Man-At-Arms accepts the hand and is aided to rise from the ground and turns around to the crowd to accept the title of Lubba Knight and Sir/Dame of the realm A ceremonious applause will be held for the new Lubba Knight Often after such drinks will be held at a local tavern as celebrations will not stop till the sun rises once again for that day. A Man-At-Arms being dubbed a Lubba Knight in a field HONORS AND MEDALS Recognition of the actions of our members within The Order of The Lubba is a high priority. Thus granting them medals or ribbons for outstanding actions, or having them remembered in ceremonies to remind them of their actions or the actions of their predecessors to further decorate them accordingly is of utmost importance Listed in order of precedence -- Additional Medals may be listed elsewhere ANCHOR OF VALOR The Anchor of Valor is the keep's highest honor, awarded by the ruling Silver Lubba themselves. The Anchor of Valor is given to those that demonstrate acts of valor far beyond the call of duty. To receive the award is quite difficult and requires having your efforts recognized by the Silver Lubba themselves. ARCHRIMS LEGACY - A ROYAL ETERNAL Named after Captain Archrim Elmoran of Sutica before it had fallen, this medal is a level above the medal of sacrifice in that it is only ever bestowed upon those that have given their all and placed everything on the line in the defense of The Silver Lubba.

Every member which has been bestowed this medal shall also be granted the rank of Royal Eternal as a lasting mark of their dedication. MEDAL OF SACRIFICE This medal is given to those who have sacrificed permanent loss of ability in protecting and serving The Silver Lubba.

This is given to those that were willing to sacrifice something, for The Silver Lubba to gain something else. MEDAL OF CIVIC HONOR This medal is granted to citizens of The Silver Lubba’s holdings who have shown tremendous effort towards the security of the Lubban way of life.

CAMPAIGN MEDALS Campaign Medals are granted to members of The Order of The Lubba who endured during major conflicts or during expeditions.

MEDAL OF ETERNAL MEMORY This Medal is given to the families of those that lost their loved ones in their duty to The Silver Lubba and their holdings. At the end of every fifth year, a remembrance ceremony is held to commemorate the ones who lost their lives during the years and to remember the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the years-long gone, the medal given to the families of the fallen at this time. A Lubba Knight aiding Urguan in battle INITIATION Every member of The Order of The Lubba Starts out as a squire, to become such a squire you’d often have to be picked by The Silver Lubba from other divisions or personally invited from outside The Silver Lubba Band. HUMBLING CEREMONY To become a squire, one must be stripped from items made from precious metals or the finer cloths they do or do not adorn unless classified as an heirloom. Such is done to start the Humbling ceremony for a squire, regaining these assets upon reaching Man-At-Arms.

Divisions within the Silver Lubba Band With our influence starting to stretch out into further reaches than we have ever done, it is seen as beneficial to establish different divisions within The Silver Lubba Band to specialize our men and women to optimize our efficiency. New challenges have proven to us that this step forward and officially establishing our bands divisions are deemed fruitful. The Silver Lubba Band Expeditionary Force The acting portion of the Silver Lubba Band which remains the core of the band. Mercenaries for hire, but also acting as a standing army for the holdings of The Silver Lubba ready to take on a fight when necessary. These individuals are for hire, though only take one contract at a time. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band, making deals and contracts with whoever requests them for a reasonable sum of wealth. Often found to don a grand suit of armour decorated to establish their presence among peers. Eternals Eternals are the highest rank you can achieve within the band, often found to be excellently trained and often assigned to special missions that could earn them a good wage. These members are often seen stepping in for The Silver Lubba as commanders or representatives of the band to complete a deal. The Eternals are often found wearing a set of full plate armour with the respective decorations they have earned through their service to the band. Titans Titans are the experienced members of the band, easily distinguished with a full set of plate and a more heavy-duty weapon to finish their missions successfully. These members are granted some major bonuses such as access to storage and more restricted areas in the location the band is garrisoned. Bondsmen Bondsmen are the lifeblood of the band, having sworn the oath and finding themselves to wield their weapon of choice proficient enough to matter in battle they stride forth to fulfill their duties within the band. They are often given a variety of tasks, ranging from protecting roads to staying garrisoned within a city to protect the citizens inside or even fight in a grand war if the contract calls for such. Novices Novices are new members of the band, often seen to do the smaller tasks or walk along with the bondsmen to learn the ropes of how it all goes down. These members usually require training with their weapon and the mindset of being a bondsman, though they are still given jobs and light armour to fit in with their peers. Novices are allowed to be assigned to higher-ranking members of the band to lead them through daily life, making sure they earn their experience that way before they are recommended for promotion to Bondsman and to cite their oath. Eternal We Stand. (A Novice being accepted into the bondsmen of the Silver Lubba Band by an Eternal) (Illustration by Mohawk Games) The Lubba Keep Lawyers Lawyers of The Silver Lubba Band, often seen as experts on their field, are a recently added division within the Silver Lubba Band out of necessity to aid our own members in trial with an added course to go beyond a lawyer to become a Lubba Judge. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band and all of its holdings and divisions. making deals and contracts with whoever requests them for a reasonable sum of wealth, though considering this legal work is often deemed easier than mercenary work, the pricing of contracts will be cheaper. Lubba Judge Lubba Judges are the pinnacle of legalism, having the most experience among this division of the band with ease. These individuals have the right to pass sentences if called for in an official trial in The Silver Lubba’s holdings. Though this does not mean that they can also act as lawyers if called upon, making them one of the more versatile members of this division. Senior Lawyer A Senior Lawyer of Lubba Keep Lawyers is often promoted from a regular lawyer for having more experience and deserving recognition of such, though it might also be possible that these individuals have been promoted for their brutal legal efficiency in the courtroom. These Senior Lawyers are seen plenty in charge of cases with fellow lawyers pitching in. Lawyer Lawyers of Lubba Keep Lawyers are those deemed efficient with their legal prowess, having helped solve plenty of cases as a paralegal and understanding the flow of work that needs to be maintained during a trial. These individuals are often hired in large batches to solve a single case and represent the accused or sometimes even represent the accuser. Paralegal The helping hand of The Lubba Keep Lawyers seen running around with a bag filled with documents, though beyond that also pitch in on cases making sure everything is laid out crystal clear and ensuring no piece of information is left unturned. The backbone of Lubba Keep Lawyers are these individuals who work tirelessly to aid further up in the chain of command. Justice Stands Eternal. (A Lubba Keep Lawyer with a group of paralegal behind them pleading justice within a courthouse) The Silver Centurions The Silver Centurions act as a guardforce within the holdings of The silver Lubba, offering protection and safety to those within or swiftly dealing with threats that are below the capabilities of The Expeditionary Force. This division offers a steady job, though not too much adventure. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band and all of its holdings and divisions. This division is no different from that with The Silver Lubba hiring new recruits and enabling The Silver Centurions to uphold peace and law wherever they are garrisoned. Captain Captains of The Silver Centurions are tasked with managing the lower ranks and upholding the order within the holdings, often finding themselves more on the management side of the division though not to be fooled as they do still keep their years of experience that they have from reaching this point. These individuals are often seen recruiting new members into the band in general, making sure the entire band is well equipped and supplied with new recruits, novices and other beginning members of the band. Large scaled defensive projects often start with a captain before the workforce is notified of such a project and the feasibility of achieving it. Officer Officers of The Silver Centurions are on the way to true leadership, always present to make sure everything runs smoothly among the watchmen and recruits, often seen conducting training in combat, law and equipment maintenance for new recruits and making sure they are up for the task before them. These individuals are extremely versatile and often have the option to switch or add to a different division at this stage, though at the cost of losing progress within the structure of the band to further build up their repertoire and experience. Officers are however also capable of recruiting and managing smaller projects acting for these tasks instead of a captain. Watchman Watchmen are the bulk of The Silver Centurions, finding themselves virtually anywhere The Silver Lubba Band is present. Having passed their training allowed them to become a Watchman ready to uphold the order of The Silver Lubba’s holdings and campsites around the realm. These individuals are allowed to detain those who are in violation of the public order established and either deal with them on the spot or send them further to trial with a Lubba Judge. Recruit Recruits of The Silver Centurions are new to the majority of how everything is supposed to be operated, still needing to go through training for combat, law and equipment maintenance. Often seen staying near a watchman or officer to aid them in tasks or guarding a door or outpost without much conflict happening around them for this period of their career. Eshtael Keeps Balance. (Two officers of the Silver Lubba Band’s Centurion division patrolling the mountains of the main continent) (The mountain pass by Sina Hayati) The Lubba Medical Force Medics are necessary in every group ensuring that no casualties will stay permanent and lives that can be saved will be saved. Nobody will be left behind to rot on the field as long as there is a medic present, making this division essential to the band’s survival. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band and is not much of a medic themselves, though is in charge of overseeing this division like every other to make sure everything looks smooth and to appoint Supreme Healers to their position if they appear to be vacant. Supreme Healer The Supreme Healer is nothing short of a miracle worker, leading fellow physicians and medics to aid those who have endured injuries within battle, though is not limited to such. A Supreme Healer is often found experimenting to find new cures to wounds or ailments they have encountered, working tirelessly to help every single affected member of the band. Physician Physicians are an unmissable component of this division, aiding The Supreme Healers directly and teaching lower ranks on how to use certain herbs and medical equipment. Often physicians are found working in their rooms working to create salves and remedies for the sick and wounded and assessing ailments if one were to approach them with one. Medic Medics are the trained core of The Lubba Medical Force ensuring everyone gets treated and cared for if deemed they need such. Medics are seen everywhere the band goes, always on standby in case of sudden conflict where wounds would be needed to tend to afterwards. Some of these medics take an oath not to harm, though the majority of them will fight if deemed necessary to prevent further injury. Trainee Trainees have been gathered from around the realm to study medicine, herblore and other subjects that prove to be useful for their career as medic. These trainees are often seen carrying large amounts of bags, vials and jars to supply the medics at hand, learning through what the medics or physicians teach them on their way to becoming one themselves. May Your Eternal Scars Heal (A medic tending to the wounds of a struck soldier) The Silver Siege Team Siege engine operation and construction is a wonderful trade to practice, giving our band the ability to lend out skilled siege operators and contractors while constructing our own siege engines to either sell, use offensively or use defensively. This division ensures we will be prepared for anything that comes our way. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of the Silver Lubba Band and prides themselves with these capable contractors and operators to aid in his bidding. Often seen to have a look at the operational siege engine workshops and aid them in construction when deemed necessary. Siege lords are personally chosen by The Silver Lubba and will often stand besides them during a siege to ensure proper entry is guaranteed. Siege Lord Siege Lords are few in numbers, though they manage all below them to make sure every siege engine is built properly and operators hit their targets like intended. Once a Siege Lord is called forth to battle, there is often little hope for the defenses of the opposing side as engines align to give little room for the other side to work with. Contractor Contractors are those who efficiently construct and use the siege engines produced within the workshops of The Silver Lubba Band, often left in charge in absence of a Siege Lord with the duty to maintain workflow and hit the intended targets with great accuracy. These individuals are often hired on a by person basis as it is rare to have a skilled siege contractor at your side. Operator Operators are those who operate the siege engines constructed by contractors, building up experience with how these engines work and how to maintain them in an excellent condition. No siege engine would be too hard for these individuals to understand and on their way to start constructing siege engines of their own as they start to aid in construction during this period. Apprentice Apprentices are often seen running around with supplies and tools and rarely called in to operate a siege engine if there appears to be a lack of manpower to operate them. These individuals are being trained on how to operate and maintain these siege engines to eventually become an Operator of the band. Strike True Eternally (Operators hard at work preparing to fire the built siege engines) The Lubba Band Workforce The backbone of the band, working tirelessly to equip and supply the band with their jobs ranging from a simple farmer to a blacksmith to mighty masons building defenses for The Silver Lubba’s holdings. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is in this chain of command as an overseer and highest in command, assigning High Contractors their new tasks to delegate further down the chain. If The Silver Lubba manages to find spare time from their other obligations, they are often on site to help oversee projects to work out the specifics on the field. High Contractor High contractors are those assigned by The silver Lubba to lead this division to greatness, often seen laying our routes for material acquisition and ensuring the whole band stays supplied. From the siege engines to the armour and blades of the band, it all starts here by the high contractor who supplies these to the other divisions. Masters at their craft they design new forms of weaponry, armour and are often seen working together directly with siege lords to aid in their operations. Project Manager Project Managers are those who make sure every project is executed correctly as one small flaw could mean the end of a building or snaps steel in the midst of battle. as experts on their own crafts they are seen inspecting the works put out by the workforce and evaluated. For a simple worker to pass onto tradesman they must pass the three most recent inspections by a Project Manager in a row. Project managers as experts of their crafts are also seen as teachers within the workforce, lending the secrets of their trade to Tradesmen below. Tradesman Tradesmen are those who have proven to be proficient in their craft, producing consistent quality works that are often used in times of battle and collecting the finest materials for their works. Excelling Tradesmen are often given their own workplace along with the recognition of The Silver Lubba to have the capability to become a project manager. Worker Workers are the backbone of the band, though still in the start of their career of their trade, they are more often seen gathering materials or aiding as extra manpower during projects put out by the people higher up in the chain. If shown interest in a certain trade, they could end up as apprentices for the trade they wish to follow. With Diligence For The Eternal Goal (A blacksmith from the workforce and his daughter working together) (Blacksmith by Dashinvaine The Order Of The Lubba The Lubba Knights are a division within the band that acts as a personal guard to The Silver Lubba and are often hand picked as one of the most efficient warriors in the other divisions for the opportunity at becoming one of the most esteemed members within the band. Chain of command: The Silver Lubba The Silver Lubba is the leader of this division on a personal level, ensuring everyone is treated right and sometimes even personally sparring with these knights to keep his combative prowess in check. The Silver Lubba is the only one who can grant one to progress through the chain of command of The Lubba Knights and is seen wandering with at least one Lubba Knight at his side when leaving his holdings. Silver Lubba Knight Silver Lubba Knights are The Silver Lubba’s closest line of protection, the final line between those who wish harm upon the wellbeing of the band and The Silver Lubba themself. These members are devoted to their cause to be the greatest warriors the realm has seen and will go through great lengths to prove such. These individuals are often granted titles beyond their occupation and are given a chance to rule a charter of land or outpost within The Silver Lubba’s territory with the blessing of virtuous work to get to that point. These members of The Order Of The Lubba are the voice and acting body of The Silver Lubba. Lubba Knight The Lubba Knights have gone through vigorous training and have proven themselves to be knighted by The Silver Lubba themself from their Man-At-Arms stage where they had proven themselves to be most capable of combat, teamwork and upholding honor. Lubba Knights are granted the same level of authority as an eternal and captain in their respective divisions during times of conflict. Granted upon reaching knighthood is the choice of wishing to continue further to a Silver Lubba Knight or to stay as Lubba Knight and claiming your title as Eternal Defender of the band with a chance at being granted a small plot of land for them and their family to thrive. Man-At-Arms Men-At-Arms are those who have exceeded their Squire stage and with The Silver Lubba’s Blessing made it as a renowned warrior in the chivalric endeavor to climb the chains of command to become a Lubba Knight. Not many pass the trials that are posed as a Man-At-Arms, acting as both Warrior and guard for The Silver Lubba with quests handed out by the upper chains which ultimately need to be completed by these members to prove their worth and devotion to the cause. At this stage, the Men-At-Arms no longer are up for hire as mercenaries and are only sent out to allies of the band to solve dire situations. Squire Freshly picked out of the other divisions, these individuals have been granted a chance to join The Order Of The Lubba and take their opportunity as Squire after being sworn to the Silver Lubba. Squires within The Order Of The Lubba are often seen a bit differently as they have already had experience in the other divisions of the band beforehand, they aid a chosen Man-At-Arms or Lubba Knight who will teach them the ways of upholding honor and chivalry among descendants. Squires will be sufficiently equipped with excellent armour from the workforce and their prefered weapon and supplied to aid their superior as well as they can. These Squires are trained endlessly and taught all the necessary knowledge to prove useful in any situation. Once their superior has established the Squire sufficient for promotion after years of tirelessly working, The Silver Lubba will personally evaluate the Squire to give judgement. Stand Eternal With Honor And Glory (A Lubba Knight charging into their opponent) General Ideals of The Silver Lubba Band: The foundations of the Silver Lubba band are depicted here, violation of these rather basic but essential ideals could mean the removal of a band member. Trust Trust is valued above any coin, Trust is what makes one reliable and ready to take on the world before them. This essential aspect of the Silver Lubba Band is presented as something that needs to be built up again with every new novice entering, ensuring their dedication and the building of friendships within the band to keep ourselves entertained. Trust is the foundation we all must acknowledge as everything is built on it. Profit The band is here to turn a profit for everyone in it, depending on individual contribution to the band they shall be rewarded accordingly upon finishing a job or taking care of a group of bandits on the road. While minas are relatively useless in today’s realms and the resources have become a bit more scarce than previous realms, profit is always put back into the band, its equipment, and its garrison site. Honor Honor is prevalent in many cultures, but often found lacking among peers, which is why honor is valued highly among bondsmen and higher-ranking officials to ensure a fair system among themselves and their potential contractors. This means that the Silver Lubba Band will not aid in raids and surprise attacks on citizenry unless provoked or at least make an attempt at excluding citizenry from touching their weapons of choice. Tolerance Tolerance is a necessary aspect of the band as tolerance, in this case, is the acceptance of other cultures and faiths to unite under one banner as a band to allow for diversity in tactics and methods. Tolerance is also practiced as self-restraint, making sure words won’t reach us as well as minor actions, acting righteous rather than tyrannical among peers. The clear exception to this is violence exerted upon you or actions with malicious intent. Discipline A band of mercenaries can not exist if the band is merely affiliated with each other loosely, making communication and general efficiency a priority in the band. Those who are trained properly have allowed themselves to be trained properly with the discipline they hold and build experience from there to develop their own style. Failure to uphold discipline often puts you at odds with the world which you can not win and results in the judgement of the higher officials of the Silver Lubba Band.

Sanity is a Construct 5th of the Snow's Maiden, Year 73 of the Second Age (The valleys of Urguan affected by the unending blood rain) An age of comparative sanity is upon us, our supposed overlords go mad in this crimson liquid falling from the skies yet we remain as we were, sane. The descendants of this realm have proven to lose all form of sanity upon contact with the blood that rains from the clouds above through thorough testing and anecdotal evidence. The affected individuals were swiftly removed from the location for further storage of these descendants and further knowledge gathering for the collective. Our brothers and sisters remain mostly unaffected by the current events and wish to aid in the removal of these afflicted individuals through various means. May you stay safe from the crimson rain. signed, 03, Pleiades, Iron Lubba of The Sutican Guard Kiraso Osser, The Word Bearer Beachball, The Shiny Viridis, Protector of Rattunelia Dave, Shaker of Hands, Executive of The Hustlers Viapatrino, Wrestler of Drunks Pharos, The Towering Flame

The Silver Lubba peered northwards to the woods of where Ebonwood was once situated "Hmm.. A target of many and scapegoat of some is gone from the realm, but where will they all go?"

I'll light up a candle next to my omar grimmer'lak silver statue

Ferryman Timmy had given the last blow to the emperor to knock them out after he was chased into the garden right into him "Fightings doings we of" they stated incoherently

The Silver Lubba smiles as one of the people present during this meeting, patting his chicken

who are you again?

The Silver Lubba sighed "Guess I'll go back to my old routine." he uttered as he reached out for his poleaxe and rallies his band for harm instead of protection once again.

A certain mage of little renown perked up a brow as he spots the missive upon his desk, cracking a bit of a grin as he sarcastically spoke out "Oh no, who could have seen this coming?" before he then looked out the window "Makes you wonder who else has this knowledge."

THE WAR OF THE BEYOND The void has plagued us all throughout existence, offering corrupted power in exchange for altering your very soul and physical prowess. No more will the members of Lubba’s Keep and their allies stand and watch our realm corrupt any further for we declare war upon the void. Lubba’s Keep will truly remain as a bastion without any trace of magic and hopes to spread this sentiment throughout all of Almaris with little resistance as our capable scientists have made a device capable of pushing the veil further back into the void and sending in forces to the realm to conquer it. Other realms of deities, spirits and afterlives might be hit on the way for our thorough cleansing, though that is a sacrifice the elves are willing to make to remove the night sky from existence. (Depiction of Scientist’s Device to the void) All Aenguls and Daemons will be within our realm by force, no longer hiding behind the cosmos of the void within the prisons they themselves have created. Free from the tyranny of the void and realms who hold power over our very lives we will build a new realm with the spark of divinity the deities will offer so they may not be consumed by the void and the many creatures within. All descendants will feel this war to their very soul as we fight for a better future without the void where all realms can be reached through science within this age of exploration. It is time we shift the balance once more where we, the descendants of our respective races, claim the realms to our own so the endless meddling of the divine will cease and we have control over our own futures and lives. Join us in this conflict so we may band together on this eternal quest to claim our realms. Let the Third Age begin.
