  1. MÄNNERBUND DES HEILIGEN JOHANNES THE HOST OF SAINT JOHANN, GUARDIANS OF REINMAR THE HYMN OF SAINT JOHANN Composed by Gottfried Barclay in the year of our lord 1967 SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR, “A Unified Reinmar” - The collective wishes of the Barclays of Reinmar and of Minitz. Formed in the days of old, the Warband of Theoderic was a stray gathering of souls with no land to call home, composed of brave, adventurous Reinmaren men to seek glory and the prosperity of their tribe. Led by the Barclay cousins Leon and Dietrich, they paved the way forwards for the County of Minitz. With time they were reformed into an organized military arm of the newly lifted Duchy and Grand Principality of Minitz and served through countless wars from Glebite War to the Adrian Rebellion of 1916 and the Aevos Coalition War. Theoderic’s Warband paved the way for what we today call and enjoy home, a unified Reinmar, the standing bastion of Reinmaren traditions and culture. The Landsers were birthed from the flames of The War of Two Emperors as bannermen of House Barclay. The Landsers would serve as auxiliary forces in the battles initially, doing irregular military tasks such as escorting, harassing and skirmishing irregularly during the war. Drawn by the esteemed Saint Tylos Barclay and Wilheim Barclay, the Landsers were drafted to be a formidable military force within battle, serving bravely in the War of Two Emperors. They would play a role in catching and executing a few enemies, and many Landsers are known to be veterans of many battles that have occured during the war. With the Landsers fight finished after the war of the two Emperors, there would be a decline in number, until the Adrian Rebellion of 1916 and the rising threat of the Mori Forces demanded their return. Their numbers swelled once more and would skirmish in and around Haense fending off the Mori and Adrian’s alike. Before continuing the fight later when they were called up to serve in the Covenant wars against the Veletzian League. To this day the Landsers march as they always have, with the Reinmaren Eagle Blazing overhead. The merger of the Warband of Theoderic, and Landsers stands as a strategic and culturally enriching initiative, consolidating the historical strengths of each entity into a unified force. By combining the battle-hardened experience of Theoderic's Warband, and the versatile skills of the Landsers, the merged organization becomes a formidable military presence. This alliance not only ensures comprehensive protection for House Barclay but also fosters unity and mutual respect among members from diverse backgrounds, thereby preserving and advancing Reinmaren and Waldenian cultural heritage. The merger symbolizes a continuation of House Barclay's historical legacy, creating a powerful and cohesive entity that is well-equipped to face the challenges of the realms and uphold the proud traditions of its predecessors. Thus, shall the brothers and sisters of Reinmar ride once more, under the banner of green and blue with an eagle at their backs, axe in hand.

My brothers close I kept, In times of need I shall come to their aid. As my own I accept this tract, To its defense I shall raise my blade unafraid. Through my veins flow the customs of my people, The light of the Kanun shall guide my way. Within me resides the spirit of the Waldenian eagle, A spirit so strong it shan’t know decay. Through my spear will be protected the feeble, Only the wrongdoer will be my prey. My soul I shall keep uncorrupted by evil, Humility I shall know, orders to follow and commands to obey.

  2. “NUR JETZT LEBE ICH WÜRDIG,” “ONLY NOW I LIVE WORTHY,” Hymn of The Host of St. Johann Composed in the year of our Lord 1967 by Gottfried Barclay Composed by the Gottfried Barclay, in the founding years of the Principality of Reinmar and its subsequent military order, The Host of St Johann. The song sings of the tales of St Johann, and the great achievement that has now been wrought forth to the Reinmaren people. Thus are the translated lyrics of the song, sung a new by the many battle brothers and sisters of The Host of St Johann in the Waldenic tongue; Only now I live worthy, Since my sinful eye has seen The uncorrupted land and also the earth To which so much honour is given. That which I have prayed for has happened to me. I came to this place, Where St Johann walked in sanctified form, Beautiful lands, rich and glorious, Which I have seen before, You surpass them all. What miracles have happened here! That a maiden bore a child, Exalted over all the sanctified host, How could this not be a miracle? Here He was sainted, pure as He was, So that man might be pure. Then He let himself be struck here, So that we Reinmaren might be free. Otherwise, we would have been lost. Hail to you, spear, cross, and thorn! Woe to you, heathens, that this outrages you! WER RASTET, DER ROSTET, His Grace, Gottfried Barclay von Kanunsberg RSTSR Duke of Kanunsberg, Vizekanzler of Reinmar, Ritter of the Order of Saint Tylos The Stallion of Reinmar, Cannonside, Aide to his Holiness' Inquisition
