Ricky 320 Share Posted February 17, 2015 FalkenOrder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBmjjfsP0bw ~Background~ ~ House Stafyr ~ House Stafyr currently led by Lord Athelstan II. Stafyr, is a long living and lasting noble house, one that has stood for many generations and shall continue to stand for many more. The house has been through its large share of tragedies and has suffered and gained greatly in their time. The now great house was once a small family of harmless lumberjacks, friends to Oren after providing their skilled services in the lumberjack trade. After a few years within the lands the house grew and grew, expanding as the thought dead members began to reunite within the small hold of Huntshill on the island of Elysium. House Stafyr was once nothing but a few mere lumberjacks, now great lords who follow a moral code of Law, Honor and loyalty, such a code is expected to be followed by its servants as well. This mainly applying to the FalkenOrder. ~The FalkenOrder~ The FalkenOrder is the local guard and military force of House Stafyr, tasked to protect the lords peace within the lands of Stafyr. Formed by Lord Symon Stafyr and Sebastian Thrask the FalkenOrder takes the aspects of regular infantry combat and combines it with a form of combat used by previous Stafyr guard, the Landsknecht pikemen. Along with a branch of rangers often formed from the huntsmen of Stafyr. The order took on its name from Stafyrs past history with Falcons, its name formed from their own dialect of Rivachegian. Stafyrs being avid hunters and falconeers the old forgotten symbol of House Stafyr, the falcon was chosen to represent the symbol of the Falken Order, placed upon the golden cross of the house itself. ~ Moral Code ~ The Falken Order must follow a simple code followed by all nobles of the Stafyr name, the code being: Law, Honour, loyalty. Three simplistic traits that must be taken on, adapted and drilled into the mind of the guardsmen so that they may server the name Stafyr properly. They are taught to respect all and protect the weak, uphold the law and have the utmost loyalty to the house they server. ~Ranks~ Within the FalkenOrder there are several different ranks and each individual rank has their own role to fill, ensuring that the guard is fully functionable in all their tasks and duties. The guard is also divided into three different sections, there is the guard section, the ranger section and the non combatant section. All sharing equally important roles within the guard. ~The Kommandant~ The Kommandant of the FalkenOrder is the sole leader and highest ranking officer of the FalkenOrder, a man of important stature within Werdenberg and the main military advisor to the Lord of House Stafyr. In recent years the role has become obsolete and is mainly taken up by the Lord himself but stays a rank for times when the Lord is unable to oversee all military events going on around him and helps take up the the logistical workload. ~Guard section~ The guard section is focused upon the usage of infantry and close quarter combat, the main responsibility of the guard being that of ensuring the safety and security of Werdenberg and its farms. They are tasked with patrolling the streets of Werdenberg ensuring the safety of the populace, they are tasked with guarding the outer sections of Furstenburg to protect the House of Stafyr, they are tasked to guard the gates or Werdenberg to ensure safe passage in and out of the town and they are also tasked with representing House Stafyr upon the field of battle in times of war. ~Wachtmeister~ The leader of the Guard section is called a Wachtmeister, he is directly in charge of the law enforcement within Werdenberg and can hold trials, hand out punishments and issue warrants within Werdenberg, ensuring the security and safety of the land. The Wachtmeister is appointed by the Kommandant for his service within the guardforce and dedication to upholding the law, his tasks and responsibilities lies within organizing the guard section and ensuring a functionable system for law enforcement. The Wachtmeister has the power and is required to promote members within the guard section but has no authority to relinquish a guard from his oath, only that can be done by the Kommandant or the Lord himself. He is required to organize the patrols of the guard and to participate in a certain quota as to ensure that he does not grow lazy or careless, he is also required to write regular reports to the Lord. The Wachtmeister is outfitted in a set of iron armour, covered in the tabard of FalkenOrder and accompanied with a rough leather cloak on his back.

They are given bastard swords and kite shields to fight with, together with a halberd for guard duty. At times the Serjeants may be picked to serve as personal bodyguards to the lord of Stafyr, depending on the situation. This makes it so that a Serjeant must have been proven to be loyal to the House and no ordinary man would be able to receive it without proving dedication and loyalty. The Serjeants are each given small private quarters within the barracks, where they are required to live close to their men as to ensure a bond of companionship but also showing their position as officers with their personal quarters. ~Gardist~ The Gardist is the lowest ranking member of the guard section, a man who has taken the steps from a recruit and selected for his skills within close quarter combat to the guard section, he is assigned under a Serjeant as part of a squad and required to participate in patrols, guard the gates and all other duties tasked upon him by his officers.
