  1. A CHANGE IN NAME Issued at Year 168 of the Second Age, 14th of Sun’s Smile Let it be known throughout the realms of Lurin and beyond, that a grand transformation is upon us, one that shall shape the annals of our history and mark a new era of prosperity, justice, and unity. As the sun sets on the dominion of House Anarion, we, the sovereign heirs of Lurin, do hereby declare the ascension of House Uialben to the throne. Casting away our fake adopted oppressive titles in exchange for what is synonymous with the bloodline of the Lurinite founders. With profound reverence for our storied past and unwavering determination for a brighter future, we embark on this journey of change and renewal. The Lurin regality wishes not to be synonymous with a bloodline tangentially ensnared in a family on the coattails to Liliyana Carrington and Karysmov Faroe, something that people seemed to bring as some type of dig onto not only the previous Trade Nation of Sutica, The Defunct Magi Nation of Llyria, but now our fair new independent state of the Lubba. With this change, not much will truly change. To put it simply, the surname of the ruling house of the Most Serene State of Lurin will be reverting back to what it once was before Lily Helenson-Anarion adopted our previous Silver Lubba. The Reigning Silver Lubba feels this change is necessary. To reclaim our true heritage, rebuild a once great house. To be something more than what we once were. Henceforth, the Silver Lubba and her immediate family will be Anarion’s no more. It served us well. However, it no longer suits who we have been freed to grow into. May House Uialben grow stronger than it once was in eons past. Long may we prosper and progress. The Silver Lubba, Lumia Uialben
  2. A CHANGE IN DEFENSE Issued at Year 168 of the Second Age In these new times since the departure of Mika Anarion from the throne of Lurin to lead their forces instead, it is deemed necessary to restructure the way these forces operate and include our most serene lords and ladies into the commanding structure while simplifying such. This document will also approach what is expected of each rank and what authority they hold within their realm and structure. THE COMMANDING STRUCTURE To ease your eyes from the scribed words, a visual representation was made And with such, the explanation, The structure has been simplified and made more dynamic to avoid the imbalances that the previous structure provided. The addition of implied authority enables the various forces to command each other when a link in the structure above them is missing. All ranks above the rank commanding the other hold higher authority than those below and can command even the lowest ranks in the structure without issue. RANKS OF THE STRUCTURE We shall start from the top of the ranks and gradually make our way down the list, explaining all functions and held authority by these individuals. THE REIGNING LUBBA The Reigning Lubba holds supreme authority over all of Lurin, its ministries, structures, people, vassals, nobles and resources as its natural leader. This gives The Reigning Lubba complete command over the Ministry of Defense on all ranks. THE LUBBA’S HAND The Lubba’s Hand is a direct descendant in structure from The Reigning Lubba and is second in command to lead Lurin with their granted authority. This means that much like our Reigning Lubba, they hold authority over the Ministry of Defense on all ranks. THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE The Minister of Defense is granted the position by The Reigning Lubba through dedication to the defense of the Lurinite Territories and shows unwavering loyalty to them. The Authority of The Minister of Defense granted by The Reigning Lubba only concerns that of defense, fortifications, external diplomacy and the various interests of our most serene state. HIGH COMMAND The various parts of the military split up here into the knights of the realm, the centurion force and the various levies from the lords of the realm. All of these individuals are needed to organize their men and women into battle capable warriors while maintaining their respective institutions. The Supreme Lubba Knight is the leader of the knight branch, capable of extensive missions and campaigns while holding the most authority out of the three in the high command. This individual is usually seen right besides The Reigning Lubba as the entrusted protector of them. They command their Lubba Knights and decide when a Lubba Squire is ready to become knighted and join the order entirely. The Captain is the supreme voice of The Silver Centurions and has a voice in all matters of defense. This individual organizes officers, centurions and recruits alike while maintaining morality and efficiency, giving them more of an organizational role. However, do not be fooled by this role as to become a captain you must climb all ranks below, which makes this individual capable in combat as well. The Lords have little to do with the direct organizing of the military other than providing Levies and Man-At-Arms, however, it may be deemed that a lord is capable of commanding, which grants them a seat in the war room. A Lord must be capable of maintaining a minimum of 5 seasoned Man-At-Arms to be granted further liberties such as tax cuts during wartime. COMMANDERS Each commanding body holds authority over that below and in some cases where a commanding authority is missing then they are also able to command those of other branches. Lubba Knights are not necessarily a commanding force, however, they hold absolute authority over their squire and are to be trained to command to make them the most capable force out of all three branches. Officers command and organize the Silver Centurions into the force that it is. These individuals have authority over the centurions and recruits below, however, they also hold authority over levies during wartime if their lord/lady is deemed incapable of commanding. These individuals are granted the ability to recruit new members into the ranks and are often granted specific duties that compliment their capabilities. Nobles hold their titles through work from various trades, may it be the blade, trade or having a sizable family. This, however, does not exempt them from their duties during wartime with their lord able to call them into battle with ease or make them contribute in other ways such as providing resources or having their own levies or men-at-arms to contribute. MAIN FORCE The main force is defined by trained individuals who are regularly exercised and held up to standard. These individuals should be capable and compliant with the state’s various laws and authority. Lubba Squires are those in service of a Lubba Knight, the lowest rank in the knight branch. However, it should be noted that not anyone can become a squire as they will have to prove themselves to their Lubba Knight and swear fealty directly to The Reigning Lubba. Silver Centurions are the main peacekeepers of Lurin and have proven themselves capable in combat, law and morality. These individuals are granted the ability to request uniform modifications to represent their house while maintaining the armor itself and cerulean blue of Lurin. Men-At-Arms are the soldiers of lords and nobles, often described as house guards who wear the banners and uniforms of the lord or noble that they represent in combat. They are all required to contain cerulean blue however and are often serving the purpose of a local militia for a lord or vassal. THE FRESHLY ENLISTED A force cannot maintain itself without replacing or growing out soldiers. With this in mind this is an active recruitment program to gather new soldiers such as enlisting the willing recruits for the centurions or levying forces from local lords. Recruits are the freshly enlisted folk into the Silver Centurion branch, granted training and having to pass basic academy which will give them the required skills necessary to maintain peace as a Silver Centurion in the main force. These individuals hold no real authority yet and are barred from the majority of privileges a seasoned Silver Centurion may have. Levies are those quickly recruited during wartime efforts and are not held up to the same standards as those who are enlisted permanently into the branch. These individuals are granted basic gambeson, mail, weapons and supplies for combat from their most serene Lord/Lady or guid/institution. PAYMENT Every rank gets paid in one way or the other, however, it must be made clear that every branch gets their pay in other ways. RULING GOVERNMENT The Reigning Lubba - Unpaid The Lubba’s Hand - Tax Exemption on one property The Minister of Defense - Tax Exemption on one property HIGH COMMAND Supreme Lubba Knight - Tax Exemption on one property of 40 mina or less Captain of The Centurions - Tax Exemption on one property of 40 mina or less Lord/Lady - Unpaid COMMANDERS Lubba Knight - Tax Exemption on one property of 20 mina or less Officer of The Centurions - 20 Mina Annually Noble - Unpaid (Maintained by Lord/Lady) MAIN FORCE Lubba Squire - Unpaid Silver Centurion - 10 Mina Annually Men-At-Arms - Unpaid (Maintained by Lord/Lady or Noble) FRESHLY ENLISTED Recruit - Unpaid Levy - Unpaid (Maintained by Lord/Lady or Noble) It should be noted that Tax Exemption of properties only apply to homes within the capital or vassals who agree to have properties within their lands become available for it. This Tax Exemption does not apply to land owned or vassal lands. Uncollected payments will be seen as a donation to the state. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Former Silver Lubba, Mika “The Resourceful” Anarion, Serene Marq of The Most Serene March of Cerulia and Minister of Defense of Lurin, Protector of the Lurinite Floodplains, Lord of Lubba’s Keep, Lubba Knight of Lurin, Founder of Lurin The Silver Lubba, Lumia Anarion Hand of the Lubba and Prime Minister of Lurin. Baron of Aevum, Edvard Kervallen
  3. TO FIGHT ONCE MORE Issued at Year 159 of the Second Age For too long have I enjoyed peace and statesmanship. Now it is time to establish my old presence once again and it will be done through honor, battle and kindness to those who agree to aid me in this quest. My descent from the Lurinite throne was done willingly so that I may rest and then grow once more as forging a state is easier than maintaining it and I had maintained it for too long to be effective. Now I search for adventure, action and aid in the eternal battle against darkspawn. THE RETURN OF THE SILVER LUBBA BAND The Silver Lubba Band is hereby established once more, taking contracts and hiring new blades in exchange for services I may provide for them in return. As of now this band is not really a band any longer and merely myself and whoever wishes to join. Those joining the band will be provided with the same structure as the marchland levies and are entitled to: -free limb replacement -a home in the marchlands -weaponry -armour -food -drinks -A claim to spoils from battle -A claim to a share of the paid contracts -Access to magical resources once deserving -Training of any kind All contracts involving the extermination of darkspawn will be done for free with the only request that your own forces will aid me in doing such. For further information, you know who I am and where to find me. ETERNAL WE MARCH signed, The Silver Lubba
  4. THE MARCHLAND LEVIES Issued at Year 157 of the Second Age The duty of Cerulia is to protect Lurin and bolster the forces to protect the greater CCC alliance block in case they are needed. Training citizens of Lurin and possibly even Lurinite allies, Cerulia shall march wherever they need to be. PURPOSE OF THE MARCHLAND LEVIES Our Marchland Levies shall protect all in the CCC and their extended allies according to the pacts signed by our most serene ruler of Lurin and their diplomats. By no means are our levies a replacement for our most serene Silver Centurions as these levies are not in direct service of the state, but the lord that holds lands within The Marchlands who are able to maintain their holdings through service to our most serene ruler of Lurin. LEVY STRUCTURE All levies are permitted altering their uniforms to fit their family, house, clan or lordship. OUR MOST SERENE RULER OF LURIN Our most serene ruler of Lurin watches over the lands of Lurin and in turn provides for The Marchlands. They have supreme command in this structure and may call upon all marchland lords if they so desire. MARCHLAND LORDS The Marchland Lords are those who have dedicated themselves to the marchlands and have proven capable to lead levies of their own as a commander. These individuals are capable of rallying their own marchland levies and have a plot of land to call their own where they may grow their influence and provide more levies for The Marchlands. These Marchland Lords are granted a crown made of cloth representing their house to show that they have proven themselves. MARCHLAND LEVY COMMANDERS Having proven capable to follow orders and found their way around a weapon they can defend the lands with. They are chosen by a Marchland Lord to command levies in their stead when necessary, being granted a significant increase in armour to protect these individuals at all costs. MARCHLAND LEVIES Marchland levies are the lifeblood of The Marchlands, often found to be conscripted workers from the various Marchland Lords. Granted a uniform, a weapon of Marchland making and rations the second there is any form of conflict on the borders of Lurin. They shall march, they shall serve and they shall defend The Marchlands. ETERNAL WE MARCH signed, The Silver Lubba
  5. CERULIA, PROTECTOR OF THE MARCHLANDS Issued at Year 157 of the Second Age Upon retirement from my Lurinite crown, I was granted lands which I am to watch over. During the end of my tenure, I have focused on development of The Marchlands of Lurin which now act as the connection between all parts of the realm and host of forts and farms. I have held myself content and enjoy my retirement, however, the ambitious person I am, I crave progress in our most Serene State and will continue development of the Marchlands. THE MOST SERENE BARONY OF CERULIA, CAPITAL OF THE MARCHLANDS Cerulia, better known as Mika Anarion’s Retirement home stands tall within The Marchlands, joined by farms and a few centurions. These serene lands have earned their title as it is a place of peace and progress under the watchful eye of the Lubba. Constructs are made in peace who then tend to their duty to either maintain or protect the barony at all costs. This barony houses few men though all are productive, paying tax in service instead of mina. THE MARCHLANDS OF LURIN While Cerulia is only a small part of it, I intend on transforming the region of The Marchlands into a collective of farms, small keeps and a place of willing soldiers to aid Lurin in protecting their people, territories and allies. I am only one descendant with a few constructs and a plot of land to my name, I will need help protecting these lands and I will reward those dedicated to the cause. Those aiding me in developing and protecting these lands and dedicate themselves to the cause of protecting Lurin in my name shall be rewarded accordingly. Those most dedicated to the cause may be granted their own plot of land to develop, protect and thrive with friends and family while keeping their oath to protect the lands. Those interested, find me in my Most Serene Barony of Cerulia or send me a note. ETERNAL WE MARCH signed, The Silver Lubba, Mika Anarion
  6. TO THE UNDEAD Issued at Year 151 of the Second Age Cease you Gasha-*****. Lurin is not your vassal, Lurin is not your ally and Lurin is not your friend. Your attempts to sow chaos only reaches those most desperate to gain reasons to end us. If we were to attack the cherry blossom village, we would do so ourselves instead of relaying it to exactly that which we have been exterminating from our lands. If I manage to find where you keep this warlord captive, I will free him. There is no honor between the undead and living, only conflict. May your bones rot and crumble in the light. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba To those who wish to figure out the swear:
  7. TO THE CHERRY BLOSSOM VILLAGE Issued at Year 151 of the Second Age The recent missives brought out have shone light on a few issues I was not made aware of, however, now I know and I will write this missive to make everything as clear as possible for the village of Sakurakagure. ON MY DAUGHTER I was unaware of her actions up until now, not a single diplomat was present from your village to inform me of these actions and your people allowed hatred to fester where reason was possible through communication. Rationality and good will is an uncommon thing these days, it shows me that even from the very start you have sought conflict and have sent raiding parties to my citizens without a message, without a cause to communicate, merely to try to slaughter them. My daughter, Scrisa, will be talked with. A solution will be had for her working with darkspawn and dark mages. Even though my heart wishes for something light, it cannot be ignored in the wake of the inquisition with my efforts undermined and will most likely end up on the more harsh side of punishment regardless of my attachments. ON THE TERMS While I find it most agreeable to find, arrest and execute the two mentioned necromancers, it shall not be ignored that your acts of violence could have been resolved with words as most civilized folk would opt to do. Your people have killed citizens unrelated to this conflict and even visitors during a time of day where most of my citizens are asleep. We were unaware of your location so we could not retaliate, now we know and the other terms you wish for will be ignored. We have a three strikes and you are out policy here in Lurin and your village has exceeded this limit, though we shall give one more chance due to these unorthodox circumstances. If you wish to truly wish for the best then send one diplomat with at most two guards to find a solution for this situation. Do so swiftly within the Esht day or it shall be presumed you only wish for war. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba
  8. THE SILVER CENTURIONS Issued at Year 150 of the Second Age A reform of the Silver Centurions has become a necessity with hostility of foreign forces making their attempt at hurting the balance of our most serene realm. Thus an effort shall be made to increase our capabilities from a defensive force to that of a military. STRUCTURE With the structure remaining intact, our most serene Silver Centurions shall not be confused about whose command to follow at all times. 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. PURPOSE AND DUTIES The purpose of The Silver Centurions is straightforward and clear, however, if one may forget their purpose or duties, it shall be stated here or in other documents if found necessary to amend. Maintaining Order Maintaining order is the primary purpose of all Silver Centurions, all other duties and purposes are secondary to maintaining order through upholding and enforcing law through the proper means and conduct. Without this essential duty the realm will devolve to chaos and makes the state more likely to look for alternative means to keep their citizens safe. Purging the Dark While not originally included in our previous duties due to the rather obvious nature of it, it should be known by every single centurion in our most serene territories that darkspawn are a threat to every single realm present of this world. None may live, regardless of if they are perceived as friendly or good in nature. Arresting Criminals While conduct dictates part of maintaining the order is to lock up criminals of the state, it is often overlooked how valuable a proper trial and sentence may be. The arresting of a criminal should be the first priority unless they are found to be unreasonably hostile and need to be dealt with as efficiently as possible. Interrogating Criminals Upon the arrest of a criminal, it is more than likely that they had a goal in mind and a reason for doing so, the task at hand is to find out their reasoning and to gauge if this reasoning is sound or simply criminal. Judgement may be formed from this interrogation. Eliminating Threats There is a chance one day a clear threat will come to our territories, it is then that every centurion must come to aid to eliminate this threat as fast and with as little casualties as possible. Investigating Individuals If seen fit by an officer or by the captain of the Silver Centurions, an investigation may take place to ensure the safety of our citizens. This would merely be a precaution for most, though if taken seriously, an arrest might come out of it. Patrolling Territories While keeping the city is key, our allies and the roads leading to our territories can prove to be useful to be kept safe. The presence of bandits, spooks and undead upon our roads or allies’ territories can prove to be detrimental to the flow of people and prosperity. Small scouting groups will from time to time be sent out to ensure the safety of our territories or collect information on potential threats. Aiding Military Missions Military missions are rare during times of peace, however, every Silver Centurion along with the Expeditionary Force and Lubba Knights become part of the general military of our territories during times of war, making them most valuable to keep them up with training. Military missions are oftentimes used to inflict damage to morale or to secure certain strategic areas. Aiding Those In Need While the primary goal is to keep order, it cannot be maintained without putting the troubles of others to rest. With such citizens or travelers may request aid from this division, though one ought to be careful of deceit and bring ample men to aid those who request aid outside of the Silver Lubba’s territories. Protecting The Realm Maintaining order is ofcourse the first priority, however, as the bulwark of these territories every Centurion must aid to protect the realm regardless of the odds. Every raider and hostile invader must be struck down or incapacitated with extreme prejudice. However, this is not only done through combat as preparation and information is enough of a deterrent most of the time, if someone wishes to do harm upon the realm they are to be reported as soon as possible. Maintaining Equipment While equipment is provided by the state, it must be maintained by the individuals who received such. It is possible for the state to give out another set of equipment during times of active conflict where equipment becomes harder to maintain properly. Every Centurion will be taught how to properly maintain their equipment either by their brothers in arms or at the academy. Maintaining Knowledge Knowledge is one of the most valuable assets to any force in the realm as some spooks and undead have specific ways to more effectively defeat them or remove them as a threat entirely. Alongside this comes the knowledge of how to use your weapon properly in defense of the territories to most efficiently deal with common threats. CODE OF CONDUCT members are expected to follow all of the following or risk punishment : They shall uphold the laws of the Lurin Codex and remain within the Laws of the Lurin Codex or risk a level higher punishment for their actions. They shall never harm a citizen or through inaction allow a citizen to come to harm unless in pursuit of the greater good. They shall follow the orders of the officers and captain placed above them unless through such action they would be committing a crime or acting outside of this Code of Conduct. They shall respect their fellow citizens in all legal affairs. They shall maintain a level-headedness in the face of danger. They shall regardless of their personal interests not act upon such. They shall not disgrace their uniform by making modifications which would be seen as disgraceful or ill-taste unless directly approved by The Silver Lubba. They shall frequently be training both their mind and their body to ensure peak performance at all times. They shall never initiate with aggression unless provoked prior. They shall maintain decent language in front of children. They shall NEVER take part in any non-approved offensive action, as this could violate a neutral stance towards some settlements and nations. They shall NEVER harm an innocent citizen or a fellow Centurion unless in doing so they end a greater threat. They shall NEVER give information to an enemy of The Silver Lubba. They shall NEVER be recruited into foreign militaries for any reason. They shall maintain a level of cleanliness of their room in the barracks and uphold a level of cleanliness of themselves. They shall keep all equipment on them while on duty, and they will be responsible for obtaining replacements from the Quartermaster. Violation of this conduct may result in the direct stripping of one’s rank and be tried for one’s crimes. IDEALS The ideals are what makes the Cerulean Army an Army, without clear ideals or morals, a nation is bound to fall. The ideals the Cerulean Army follows are not only internally, but external as well, requiring a focus on what we wish to do with this army: cause Peace and Prosperity.. Peace The Silver Centurions are here to Protect and ensure peace and prosperity, it is not to cause chaos. causing chaos will lead to a dishonorable discharge and relieve you from your position as well as all granted titles if any. Termination of Cults and the Dark The Silver Centurions, as a majority internal force, work together to keep cults out of our territories and exterminate darkness from our realm by hunting down dark mages and creatures within its borders without hesitation and with extreme prejudice. Fortitude It is sometimes found that an individual is struggling with their work or life in general, let it be known to those individuals that taking a break from the Silver Centurions is allowed and Hiatus can be held with permission. The mental state of a member of the Silver Centurions is as important as its physical state, allowing for Silver Centurion field days to relax a bit or do some fun activities. Aid of All The Silver Centurions, provided each member is to learn a certain set of skills by requirement, they are not to back away from conflict or wounded individuals, no matter the race, group or nation they are affiliated with. We are here to help, not turn our backs to fellow living descendants and beings of this realm. Kindness and Gratitude are key to living a better life for all of us for a man who turns to banditry out of necessity can always be rehabilitated if offered the right tools to do so. Logic and Law, Driven by morals. While the law is set in stone, one who has broken a law must have had a rational reason to do so, with such a member of the Silver Centurions can interrogate an individual to see why this law has been broken by them and possibly hand out a lower fine or even exempt them from the crime they had committed. Self-sufficient together There is an emphasis within the Silver Centurions that once you are at the rank of Watchman, your set of skills taught to you are just enough to supply your own food, your own equipment, and your own minas. However, this does not mean you stand alone in conflict and is merely a tool to improve your ability to aid other members of the Silver Centurions. During times of conflict the territories will not be shy to give out some extra equipment to get the job done. HONORS AND MEDALS Recognition of the actions of our members within The Silver Lubba Band is a high priority, 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. Listed in order of precedence -- Additional Medals may be listed elsewhere Anchor of Valour The Anchor of Valour is the highest honor, awarded by The Silver Lubba themselves. The Anchor of Valor is given to those that demonstrate acts of valour 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, 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 our territories. By risking it all, they have demonstrated their dedication to the Oath and will be forever remembered for their contributions to the territories. Every member which has been bestowed this medal shall also be granted the rank of Royal Eternal as a lasting mark of their dedication and become eligible for knighthood by default. Medal of Sacrifice This medal is given to those who have sacrificed permanent loss of ability in protecting and serving The Silver Lubba. It is given with the blessing of The Silver Lubba to show their unending support of those who have sacrificed to see our territories continue to grow and prosper. 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 territories who have shown tremendous effort towards the security of the Lubban way of life. It is the highest Non-Band medal, being granted directly by The Silver Lubba themself. It is to serve as a reminder of the binding nature of citizenship in the territories and those who have risked it all for the greater good of the community as a whole.. Ribbon of Heroism Given to an individual who has against all odds demonstrated boundless courage and has performed above and beyond in service to his fellow Band members and in doing so saved the life or lives of his companions. As well as those that achieve results far beyond typical expectations in the service of The Silver Lubba. Ribbon of Loyalty This honor is given to those individuals that stood and continue to stand firm in their duty to The Silver Lubba. This is usually awarded by the Captain of The Silver Centurions. It is awarded to those that have devoted their lives to the Silver Centurions and to the duties of The Silver Lubba. Campaign Medals Campaign Medals are granted to members of The Silver Centurions who endured during major conflicts or during expeditions. These medals are to serve as a reminder of the actions they took part in and as an outward display to remember those who may not have returned. To receive this class of medal it is only necessary for the member to have taken part in a campaign deemed fit by a captain of The Silver Centurions with permission of The Silver Lubba to receive a medal. Medal of Eternal Memory This Medal is given to the families of those that lost their loved ones in their duty toThe Silver Lubba and their territories.. At the end of every tenth 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. INITIATION For our ranks to expand with willing future centurions, it is found to be most effective to recruit them as volunteers as requirement to serve is not found yet to be a necessity in times of peace. Additionally this would make our forces able to have a higher level of professionalism if trained up correctly. The Process With the desire to become part of The Silver Centurions a citizen has a simple path ahead where they merely need to find an officer, captain or The Silver Lubba. Once one of these individuals are contacted they need to show that they are willing to join on their own accord, are capable of basic combat and have ample knowledge on The Codex of Lubban Law. Once deemed fit for The Silver Centurions, they shall receive their uniform and a set of equipment to deal with general threats and uphold the law accordingly.

STAND ETERNAL WITH HONOR AND GLORY! INCENTIVE To maintain a reliable force of centurions, it will be necessary to grant them incentive for staying loyal to our most serene state.

  9. THE FROST WITCHES IN LURIN Issued at Year 149 of the Second Age We found the frost witches, they are gone now. THE LAIR OF ICE Hidden deep underneath the city, there was a lair of ice. We blocked the only entrance with piles of wood and lit them on fire to smoke them out and melt their icy walls. Presumably there are no survivors as afterwards we stripped the lair of any defenses and texts they held. The names on the signs of their abodes within the lair seemingly were targeted towards Lurin itself as they included every single council member’s name including that of my own and notable Lurinites to mock us and use in transcripts written by them. Corpses were burnt, bodies in vats were found and all remaining forms of life were thrown into the hole without a bottom. SURVIVORS Not all frost witches were found or present within these caves, be careful of a return in another realm nearby. They may hide in vassals of surrounding nations as they are masters of disguise and may convert a female leader to be in favor of them. Testing here in Lurin continues to find those who have decided we are not hostile enough to their existence. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba

  11. THE SIMPLE DEAL OF THE INQUISITION Issued at Year 146 of the Second Age Reports from our Silver Centurions have been flooded with false inquisitors and priests who do not understand the process. This document should bring light to the bare minimum requirements. ON THE INQUISITION It has been a success so far, having dealt with a few minor vampyric folks and Xionists who have tried to hide themselves in our borders, however, we have found that there are some who wish to join this inquisition without proper permissions resulting in vigilantism. To join the inquisition is very simple, all members of The Silver Centurions, Office of Stewards and Taxes, members of the Eshtaelite Church and The Brotherhood have the natural rights from the state to enact the inquisition. Joining this inquisition as a foreign entity is allowed once granted permission from the following: The Silver Lubba Lubba’s Council Members A Centurion Officer Cardinal Arnaud The High Pontiff Once granted permission from these entities, you will be needed to bear a letter signed by them, confirming your task in the inquisition. Those unable to actively participate in testing are free to point out and expose darkspawn, Xionists and vampyric folk to a permitted Inquisitor. ON OUR LAW OF UNLAWFUL PREACHING It was made with the purpose to reduce preachers of evil within our borders and those who are insensitive to the Lurinite culture and those deemed a nuisance to the general population, shouting senselessly into a square with barely any canonists present instead of willingly educating on a personal level. Recently we have seen an increase in preachers violating this law while in reality it is quite easy to do so lawfully. To be granted the right to preach for your religion you shall either need to do so within the Eshtaelite church or be granted permission from The Silver Lubba. The latter giving permission to preach wherever one desires as long as discrimination against the Lurinite folk and culture is not present. I personally hereby grant Cardinal Arnaud and Bishop Odo the permission to preach for their mission within reason. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba
  12. ON LURINITE SUCCESSION Issued at Year 145 of the Second Age As I grow older and my body becomes covered with scars and memories, it is found necessary to think about succession within my most serene realm to avoid conflict within succession of vassals, nobility and eventually myself. Lurinite Succession For Vassals Our most serene vassals stand central for the growth of our realm to develop lands which our state does not have an interest in or having been granted a plot of land for their efforts towards our most serene state. I. Vassals by default have their ruling family to choose from for an heir, this may be appointed by the current ruler at any moment during their reign. II. If a ruler of a vassal leaves their position before an eligible heir is chosen, a vote by the council may be had to choose from the ruling family to lead them. III. If found that none are eligible, a new ruler may be appointed from the council through the previous methods. IV. Vassals may discuss their own succession with The Silver Lubba for other methods and must be documented for validity. Lurinite Succession For Nobility Nobility is the breath of the realm, giving life to our roads and streets and represented by a single person of that family in our most serene courts. As such, it is necessary for our nobility to continue the cycle and pass the torch if the previous one cannot hold it anymore. I. Nobility by default have their ruling member appoint a successor to take their mantle of noble during their lifetime. II. If the leading member of a noble family leaves before a successor is found, the family may collectively appoint a new leading member. III. If there are no members of this family left within Lurinite lands, the family loses their status of nobility. IV. Nobility may discuss other methods of succession with The Silver Lubba and must be documented for validity Lurinite Succession For The Silver Lubba Even my own succession is to be handled, regardless of my long reign from Lubba’s Keep to what Lurin is today. Without a successor we cannot stand eternal as I have preached to all for decades. I. The Silver Lubba may appoint their successor from the Eshtaelites of House Anarion, House Edevane, House Bojo, House Snowell or The Lubba’s Council at will. II. If The Silver Lubba decides to leave early, The Lubba’s Council may through any method choose an Esthaelite among them, be it combat, contest or democracy, choose a new Silver Lubba. III. If there are no Eligible successors in the previous methods, an Eshtaelite from the nobility of our realm to take the mantle until a new Silver Lubba rises. IV. If a non-Esthaelite is willed as The Silver Lubba, they are either to convert to the cause or rejected. V. If a Silver Lubba is chosen illegitimately, that Silver Lubba is to be put down or The Realm of Lurin Dissolves if that pretender keeps a hold of our most serene lands.

  13. TO KRUGMAR AND THEIR CAELIAN BRIGANDS Issued at Year 140 of the Second Age The orcish and human forces that have arrived at our most serene territories have been a nuisance and have laid harm upon our people through dishonorable practices and banditry of the innocent. My daughter, Princess Freya, has had an attempt on her life by these brigands who are called Caelians. My daughter has survived, but not without having harm done to her, consequences are needed to be had. DECLARATION OF FREEDOM Due to the nature of these brigands, there is only one punishment applicable, they shall be granted freedom. This strips them of all rights that our most serene state could offer and are no longer considered a protected entity by law, making them unable to obtain properties in the future and are free to be slaughtered on sight without repercussions for the one that does so. EMBARGO ON KRUGMAR Until aggression is fully ceased, all horde assets in Lurin will be confiscated by the state and all trade offers will be refused. Merchants of our most serene state will be urged to remove their goods from the markets of Krugmar and their affiliated realms, presumed that any and all trade with krugmar as the embargo us in place is an act of undermining authority of our most serene state. PEACEFUL UNTIL DISTURBED Our most serene citizens have been assaulted and kidnapped by the brigands of Krugmar and held hostage within their very capital without prior aggression from our people before they were released by force. Our citizens seek peace, yet are not afraid to defend themselves if deemed necessary as our Lurinite spirit deems so. May you come to your senses and make the right choice before one is made for you by your own people. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba
  14. UNREGISTERED CITIZENS Issued at Year 139 of the Second Age It has been brought to my attention after some years that my very own citizens are unaware of who they invite into their homes to live with them to the dismay of many others within our most serene state. Thus we shall purge the evil from our homes by force. ADDITIONAL SPOOK TESTS For a person to live with an already established citizen, they are needed to undergo a standardized spook test which can be conducted by any Lurinite steward. Failure to comply will result in a fine and if found that a person is hosting darkspawn in their abode, they shall be charged with the aiding of dark creatures, a class A crime warranting execution after seeing the darkspawn they have hosted executed before them first. REGISTERING CITIZENS All citizens who are living in your abode are now necessary to be registered with a Lurinite steward and otherwise charged with Claiming, a class C crime. Temporary guests are allowed as long they stay within a two year period of time total over the course of a decade. Individuals trying to loophole this system will be subject to be charged with the same law regardless and our Stewards are allowed to enforce this law and observe any unfamiliar faces visiting frequently and question them.

  15. STEEL FOR THE LURINITES Issued at Year 139 of the Second Age With a sudden boom in the Lurinite steel industry spearheaded by our most serene state and The Silver Lubba, it has been decided that we shall distribute a fraction of our production towards supplying our most helpful citizens with this steel for projects and personal equipment. THE DISTRIBUTION With the acquisition of a few new iron mines within our borders, we have achieved an abundance of steel in our market and storage, steel that remains unused as Lurin has achieved its more than comfortable surplus of steel that shall only be touched for the most dire of situations. This steel shall be distributed amongst the population through valid requests to the state. THE ELIGIBILITY The eligibility of our citizens to acquire the steel they desire from our most serene state depends on a few factors which are easily met by the more productive members of our society. The following citizens are eligible with proper reason: Silver Lubba Band Members Tavern Workers Critical Industries High Nobility Low Nobility Direct Vassals Special cases may arise and they shall be discussed personally upon receiving a request. THE REQUESTS The requests should always be fair and reasonable to both the productive citizen and the state, any amount may be requested, though the state may always deny a request if deemed necessary. The following reasons are likely to be accepted by the state: Equipment Maintenance Equipment Replenishment Production of State Goods Production of Critical Goods Fortification of Property Supplying Workers These reasons are most valid to the state and one may suggest another if deemed necessary. Any and all requests are able to be denied even if meeting all criteria. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba
  16. DENOUNCING THOSE OF FALSE FATES Issued at Year 138 of the Second Age A few reports have come out regarding fortune tellers with dark magics, using the minds of our citizens with good faith left for their own malicious gains. No wounds are found on the victims, yet they are left exhausted and unable to work for our most serene state. BANISHMENT OF THE PRACTICE Fortune telling is against the law now, being declared a class C crime and makes the lawbreaker subject to a mandatory spook test. Further elaboration will be made within the codex as to what constitutes breaking this law under 2.6.3f. ETERNAL WE STAND, ESHTAEL KEEPS BALANCE signed, The Silver Lubba
  17. LURIN WINDOW INSURANCE ACT Issued at Year 116 of the Second Age Due to the increasing amounts of shattered windows and the solidarity of the state to its people, The Most Serene State of Lurin has decided to open up insurance for their citizens. As glass is a resource not many have on hand to quickly repair a window due to the labor intensive process of creating perfect glass panes and the state having the workforce to back them up in such a process, it is seen fit to provide the citizens with repairs. GLASS FOR THE CITIZENRY This deal between state and citizen comes at a bare minimum cost where as long as they pay their taxes their windows shall be patched up with a glass of their choosing. Failure to contact the state for your broken windows for a prolonged duration will fall under our general negligence law found at general safety, 2a. The Payment of tax has to be completed before any repairs may be done on behalf of the state, the one holding the property will be able to avoid this by creating and installing the window themselves. There is a possibility that your window will be repaired without your knowledge initially, however, a note will be placed in the inhabitant's mailbox notifying of a potential break in and offered a potential modification in design to avoid future window smashing for potential invasions of property. DEFENSE OF THE STATE With this alarming amount of mischief and failed robberies, The Most Serene State of Lurin will expand efforts to add new constructs to the brotherhood to more frequently patrol the city and make it clear to any who attempt to do so again will be unpleasantly surprised by increasing the severity of this crime temporarily to a class A crime without the escape of bailing yourself out, leaving only blood payment as an option for the following till the 120th year of the second age. Additionally, The Most Serene State of Lurin wishes to revitalize their efforts on expanding The Silver Centurions to limit reliance on construct production. Those Willing to join the cause of keeping our streets safe can contact John or The Silver Lubba for more information. Eternal we Stand, Eshtael Keeps Balance signed, The Silver Lubba
  18. MISCHIEF MAKERS WANTED Issued at Year 114 of the Second Age There has been an alarming rate of mischief going on within the city of Lurin, making it hard to go through the daily lives of our citizenry without minor inconveniences being bestowed upon them by an unknown source. As normally this is not much of an issue, we have found evidence that it is scaling drastically and makes it a necessity for the state to take action. THE SEARCH FOR MISCHIEF We have collected multiple reports of missing items, such as jewelry, scraps of food, trinkets made from precious metals and the steel tools of varying occupations. While theft is something rarely struggled with due to the security provided, it has caught the state by surprise to have such a spree of crime occur while on the other hand there is an immense increase in mischievous behavior that does not align with the citizenry. Everyone within the city is affected by this spree of mischief from the moving of writing utensils to the other side of the room to having their door jammed with a metal pin stolen from the workforce to having a potato thrown at your feet while having a conversation in the square. The Silver Centurions will be on the case for this strange spree of mischief and we hope to report to our citizens about our findings.

  19. ON THE CURED Issued at Year 112 of the Second Age After receiving the missive regarding our citizen, Sarah Artenin, of being a vampire, the Lubba’s Council was in shock. Thankful to the shamans that they cured her of her vile disease, however, there was another part of the missive which did not resonate with the citizens of Lurin as Sarah was made to forcefully live in Nor’asath or be hunted down and executed. The council gathered today to draft up an official response regarding the situation and express their displeasure to this foreign policy. ON THE ABDUCTION OF SARAH ARTENIN As Lurin does not want to waste further ink and blood on this matter, while we agree with your sentiment against darkspawn, the holding of our citizens against their will is a vile act and The Most Serene State of Lurin hereby declares a simple warning: The attempt at a repeated taking of Sarah Artenin will result in conflict of degrees the balance of Eshtael will allow. May the wisdom of the shamans of Nor’Asath and The Iron Horde be everlasting and conflict kept to a minimum so all our lands may experience the prosperity it deserves. signed, The Silver Lubba
  20. LURINITE MINING OPERATION Issued at Year 111 of the Second Age With our soaring levels of wealth it has been decided to invest it back into the people of the state, providing further jobs and making local goods cheaper through the acquisition of a profitable mine near the city. THE OPEN MINE OF LURIN The mine of Lurin will be open to all who have the equipment to properly delve within, however, at the end of your mining trip you will be faced with the question if you will sell your acquired wealth to the local state provided stall at a decent rate or perhaps buy resources from it during a shortage of material. May this newfound acquisition of resources provide further wealth and prosperity to the citizens of Lurin through trade and craft. signed, The Silver Lubba
  21. MEAT FOR LURINITES ACT Issued at Year 111 of the Second Age With a recent expansion of the production of animal products and our exports being overflown with meats, Lurin has taken note of the necessity of increasing welfare for its people by distributing our excess to the taxpayers of Lurin before our storages overflow with the meats we produce locally. MEAT IN THE MAILBOX Our most faithful citizens of Lurin have aided us establish ourselves properly in the south and with this the standard of living for the Lurinites must increase accordingly. While we will not hand out grain, potatoes and vegetables due to our production simply being too low to hand out on top of our exports, we will feed our people the best we can, with steak and beef. Lurin citizens who have paid their taxes are entitled to a pouch of steak and beef in their mailbox if one is available. In some cases the tax is lower than the price of the goods provided, though we will stand by our worth. signed, The Silver Lubba Lumia Anarion, High Steward of Lurin
  22. The Silver Centurion Division Issued at Year 99 of the Second Age With the amount of people living within our territories, it is deemed necessary to organize our local militia to a more well equipped and trained standard. With this change order shall be maintained by these individuals as they will be maintained and trained by the state. STRUCTURE OF THE SILVER CENTURIONS With the increasing number of people entering our gates, we are needed to become more organized than our local militia forces teaming up with the garrisoned mercenary forces and capable warriors. With this simple structure, growth is able to be had and capability will increase with rank. 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. PURPOSE AND DUTIES OF CENTURIONS The purpose of The Silver Centurions is straightforward and clear, however, if one may forget their purpose or duties, it shall be stated here or in other documents if found necessary to amend. Maintaining Order Maintaining order is the primary purpose of all Silver Centurions, all other duties and purposes are secondary to maintaining order through upholding and enforcing law through the proper means and conduct. Without this essential duty the realm will devolve to chaos and makes the state more likely to look for alternative means to keep their citizens safe. Arresting Criminals While conduct dictates part of maintaining the order is to lock up criminals of the state, it is often overlooked how valuable a proper trial and sentence may be. The arresting of a criminal should be the first priority unless they are found to be unreasonably hostile and need to be dealt with as efficiently as possible. Interrogating Criminals Upon the arrest of a criminal, it is more than likely that they had a goal in mind and a reason for doing so, the task at hand is to find out their reasoning and to gauge if this reasoning is sound or simply criminal. Judgement may be formed from this interrogation. Eliminating Threats There is a chance one day a clear threat will come to our territories, it is then that every centurion must come to aid to eliminate this threat as fast and with as little casualties as possible. Investigating Individuals If seen fit by an officer or by the captain of the Silver Centurions, an investigation may take place to ensure the safety of our citizens. This would merely be a precaution for most, though if taken seriously, an arrest might come out of it. Patrolling Territories While keeping the city is key, our allies and the roads leading to our territories can prove to be useful to be kept safe. The presence of bandits, spooks and undead upon our roads or allies’ territories can prove to be detrimental to the flow of people and prosperity. Small scouting groups will from time to time be sent out to ensure the safety of our territories or collect information on potential threats. Aiding Military Missions Military missions are rare during times of peace, however, every Silver Centurion along with the Expeditionary Force and Lubba Knights become part of the general military of our territories during times of war, making them most valuable to keep them up with training. Military missions are oftentimes used to inflict damage to morale or to secure certain strategic areas. Aiding Those In Need While the primary goal is to keep order, it cannot be maintained without putting the troubles of others to rest. With such citizens or travelers may request aid from this division, though one ought to be careful of deceit and bring ample men to aid those who request aid outside of the Silver Lubba’s territories. Protecting The Realm Maintaining order is ofcourse the first priority, however, as the bulwark of these territories every Centurion must aid to protect the realm regardless of the odds. Every raider and hostile invader must be struck down or incapacitated with extreme prejudice. However, this is not only done through combat as preparation and information is enough of a deterrent most of the time, if someone wishes to do harm upon the realm they are to be reported as soon as possible. Maintaining Equipment While equipment is provided by the state, it must be maintained by the individuals who received such. It is possible for the state to give out another set of equipment during times of active conflict where equipment becomes harder to maintain properly. Every Centurion will be taught how to properly maintain their equipment either by their brothers in arms or at the academy. Maintaining Knowledge Knowledge is one of the most valuable assets to any force in the realm as some spooks and undead have specific ways to more effectively defeat them or remove them as a threat entirely. Alongside this comes the knowledge of how to use your weapon properly in defense of the territories to most efficiently deal with common threats. CODE OF CONDUCT members are expected to follow all of the following or risk punishment : They shall uphold the laws of the Lubban Codex and remain within the Laws of the Lubban Codex or risk a level higher punishment for their actions. They shall never harm a citizen or through inaction allow a citizen to come to harm unless in pursuit of the greater good. They shall follow the orders of the officers and captain placed above them unless through such action they would be committing a crime or acting outside of this Code of Conduct. They shall respect their fellow citizens in all legal affairs. They shall maintain a level-headedness in the face of danger. They shall not disgrace their uniform by making modifications which would be seen as disgraceful or ill-taste unless directly approved by The Silver Lubba. They shall frequently be training both their mind and their body to ensure peak performance at all times. They shall maintain decent language in front of children. They shall NEVER take part in any non-approved offensive action, as this could violate a neutral stance towards some settlements and nations. They shall NEVER harm an innocent citizen or a fellow Centurion unless in doing so they end a greater threat. They shall NEVER give information to an enemy of The Silver Lubba. They shall NEVER be recruited into foreign militaries for any reason. They shall maintain a level of cleanliness of their room in the barracks and uphold a level of cleanliness of themselves. They shall keep all equipment on them while on duty, and they will be responsible for obtaining replacements from the Quartermaster. Violation of this conduct may result in the direct stripping of one’s rank and be tried for one’s crimes. IDEALS OF THE CENTURION The ideals are what makes the Cerulean Army an Army, without clear ideals or morals, a nation is bound to fall. The ideals the Cerulean Army follows are not only internally, but external as well, requiring a focus on what we wish to do with this army: cause Peace and Prosperity.. Peace The Silver Centurions are here to Protect and ensure peace and prosperity, it is not to cause chaos. causing chaos will lead to a dishonorable discharge and relieve you from your position as well as all granted titles if any. Termination of Cults and the Dark The Silver Centurions, as a majority internal force, work together to keep cults out of our territories and exterminate darkness from our realm by hunting down dark mages and creatures within its borders without hesitation and with extreme prejudice. Fortitude It is sometimes found that an individual is struggling with their work or life in general, let it be known to those individuals that taking a break from the Silver Centurions is allowed and Hiatus can be held with permission. The mental state of a member of the Silver Centurions is as important as its physical state, allowing for Silver Centurion field days to relax a bit or do some fun activities. Aid of All The Silver Centurions, provided each member is to learn a certain set of skills by requirement, they are not to back away from conflict or wounded individuals, no matter the race, group or nation they are affiliated with. We are here to help, not turn our backs to fellow living descendants and beings of this realm. Kindness and Gratitude are key to living a better life for all of us for a man who turns to banditry out of necessity can always be rehabilitated if offered the right tools to do so. Logic and Law, Driven by morals. While the law is set in stone, one who has broken a law must have had a rational reason to do so, with such a member of the Silver Centurions can interrogate an individual to see why this law has been broken by them and possibly hand out a lower fine or even exempt them from the crime they had committed. Self-sufficient together There is an emphasis within the Silver Centurions that once you are at the rank of Watchman, your set of skills taught to you are just enough to supply your own food, your own equipment, and your own minas. However, this does not mean you stand alone in conflict and is merely a tool to improve your ability to aid other members of the Silver Centurions. During times of conflict the territories will not be shy to give out some extra equipment to get the job done. HONORS AND MEDALS Recognition of the actions of our members within The Silver Lubba Band is a high priority, 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. Listed in order of precedence -- Additional Medals may be listed elsewhere Anchor of Valour The Anchor of Valour is the highest honor, awarded by The Silver Lubba themselves. The Anchor of Valor is given to those that demonstrate acts of valour 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, 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 our territories. By risking it all, they have demonstrated their dedication to the Oath and will be forever remembered for their contributions to the territories. Every member which has been bestowed this medal shall also be granted the rank of Royal Eternal as a lasting mark of their dedication and become eligible for knighthood by default. Medal of Sacrifice This medal is given to those who have sacrificed permanent loss of ability in protecting and serving The Silver Lubba. It is given with the blessing of The Silver Lubba to show their unending support of those who have sacrificed to see our territories continue to grow and prosper. 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 territories who have shown tremendous effort towards the security of the Lubban way of life. It is the highest Non-Band medal, being granted directly by The Silver Lubba themself. It is to serve as a reminder of the binding nature of citizenship in the territories and those who have risked it all for the greater good of the community as a whole.. Ribbon of Heroism Given to an individual who has against all odds demonstrated boundless courage and has performed above and beyond in service to his fellow Band members and in doing so saved the life or lives of his companions. As well as those that achieve results far beyond typical expectations in the service of The Silver Lubba. Ribbon of Loyalty This honor is given to those individuals that stood and continue to stand firm in their duty to The Silver Lubba. This is usually awarded by the Captain of The Silver Centurions. It is awarded to those that have devoted their lives to the Silver Centurions and to the duties of The Silver Lubba. Campaign Medals Campaign Medals are granted to members of The Silver Centurions who endured during major conflicts or during expeditions. These medals are to serve as a reminder of the actions they took part in and as an outward display to remember those who may not have returned. To receive this class of medal it is only necessary for the member to have taken part in a campaign deemed fit by a captain of The Silver Centurions with permission of The Silver Lubba to receive a medal. Medal of Eternal Memory This Medal is given to the families of those that lost their loved ones in their duty toThe Silver Lubba and their territories.. At the end of every tenth 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. PAYMENT OF CENTURIONS While it would be beneficial for the Silver Centurions to work with volunteers only and random bonuses, it would heavily limit the rate at which recruits would be able to join. This is why the Silver Lubba pays its Centurions a decent wage to live inside of its territories. Payment based on rank Recruit: 5 minas a year Watchmen: 10 minas a year Officer: Tax Exemption for one 10 mina tax property Captain: Tax Exemption for one 20 mina tax property Though on top of the yearly payment, it is possible that a mission is found successful and a bonus is handed out to the more excelling centurions with the size of this bonus depending on a couple of factors like the minas earned from the mission and how the team present did overall. This bonus is handed out by the highest-ranking leader present and yearly payments can be found in a designated payment spot. INITIATION OF CENTURIONS For our ranks to expand with willing future centurions, it is found to be most effective to recruit them as volunteers as requirement to serve is not found yet to be a necessity in times of peace. Additionally this would make our forces able to have a higher level of professionalism if trained up correctly. The Process With the desire to become part of The Silver Centurions a citizen has a simple path ahead where they merely need to find an officer, captain or The Silver Lubba. Once one of these individuals are contacted they need to show that they are willing to join on their own accord, are capable of basic combat and have ample knowledge on The Codex of Lubban Law. Once deemed fit for The Silver Centurions, they shall receive their uniform and a set of equipment to deal with general threats and uphold the law accordingly. If they wish to further affirm their loyalty and be eligible to gain further access to the HQ, other facilities and the potential to rank up, they are needed to take the oath below. The Oath I [Name] do solemnly swear without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, To pledge my undying loyalty to the Service of The Silver Lubba Band, to the Silver Lubba for which guides these holdings, And to the citizens and subjects under the Silver Lubba I pledge my efforts to the prosperity and defense of the institutions of the Holdings I pledge my body as a tool for the The Silver Lubba, a friend to the commoner, a blade for the wicked I shall uphold to the principles of the code, and maintain the dignity of the division I shall obey the orders of those placed above me, and I shall never falter from this oath On my soul, honor [and on deity applicable] this I swear. STAND ETERNAL WITH HONOR AND GLORY! Eshtael Keeps Balance. signed, The Silver Lubba
  23. THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO PAY 4th of The Deep Cold, Year 84 of The Second Age The Silver Lubba Band has been hired in plenty of recent conflicts, though our treasuries have remained unfilled due to the lack of willingness to pay regardless of our excellent services to aid them in battle or to destroy opposing smaller factions on our own. Such is unacceptable. Hereby I declare the following factions unable to hire us for conflict until their debt to the band is cleared. THE IMPERIAL REMNANTS OF BALIAN While merely a verbal contract was established due to the immense speed of this conflict between the Empire or Oren and the Kingdom of Oren, our bondsmen fought in their battles and suffered losses due to them. While the Empire does not remain anymore, the debt must be paid either way as the remnants and the leadership of the Empire of Oren moved to Balian. But to keep honor in your words, you must provide the actions to back them up as we remained unpaid for this service. 3000 Mina PRINCESS IVARIELLE I OF CELIA’NOR This Contract has been established with a goal in mind, even though we rallied our men to aid Ivarielle in her warfare upon the island of Haelun’or, we were unable to take the island. Regardless of being unable to do so, we were hired and provided our service and wish to be paid for such. 2000 Mina. THE HIGH PRINCEDOM OF MALIN’OR While it is merely a recent contract against Krugmar, the sum agreed upon between The Silver Lubba Band and The High Princedom of Malin’or has yet to be paid after almost an elven month. A successful campaign came out of this conflict with the lubba band conducting military operations of their own to aid the general war effort successfully. 2000 Mina signed, The Silver Lubba
  24. The Mali-Lubba Contract Malinor has contracted The Silver Lubba Band today, 11th of Snow’s Maiden of the Second Age to do the following within the lines of a preset contract WAR CONTRACT A war contract is the most expensive, though also the one contract which requires the Silver Lubba Band’s full attention to aid in war as a faction of its own. Contracts like these are often structured on what the band rallies and what needs to be done in the war to see it to its completion and get paid per battle aside from the initial fee that pulls the band into this war. We will aid in military operations for the duration of this war, however long it takes, The Silver Lubba Band will stand with The High Princedom Malin'or. This Contract lasts for the entirety of the war before it either needs to be renewed or ends. The High Princedom of Malin’or agrees to pay 2000 minas for this length of service. signed, The Silver Lubba Vytrek Tundrak, High Prince of Malin’or and of the Elves
  25. 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.

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.
