The Rise of True Rectitude The Birth of the Teutonic Order Ve Zantek i ve Hauchvojshka Teutonik [trans. New Marian] The Genesis of Mankind's Military Prowess 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅗𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 - Ezekiel Tarus, of the Kingdom of Oren after the division of the Land of Men between Oren & Hanseti. History in some ways can be considered cyclical, repetitive even, and in no way is this more apparent than in the manners by which peoples form themselves into cohesive polities, into distinct tribes and groups. No one form of government or of organization is truly unique and in some instance of the near or distant past; there were others who had same such forms of organizing themselves. Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs have all contended with banding together whether by some common goal or, at the very least, that they may preserve lineage and guard themselves and their homes. One such form of banding together is that of the knightly order. This particular conception of organization usually requires a held set of values that all organizing themselves willingly concede are worthwhile in forming their worldview and giving them the lenses through which they viewed themselves and their neighbors. There have been many knightly orders throughout history dating as far back as Aegis. This particular work narrates the genesis of the first of the knightly orders; the birth of the Teutonic Order. The Hochmeister Gaius Marius is identified as the progenitor of this knightly order, but he is not alone in contributing to both the philosophy of the Order nor was his labor alone to credit for the awesome success of those most dreaded Black Crosses whose legend is now inscribed in the histories kept in wondrous libraries across the lands. Herein will be narrations, descriptions, letters, and stories compiled from various Sariants ("knights" in Old Marian) that illuminate both the causes for the founding of the Teutonic Order and those major events that left indelible impressions on the early history of the Order. Out-of-Character Note: This is an attempt to revisit and improve upon my first long-form story when I first joined the server here. I hope you will enjoy.
