The Kingdom: Difference between revisions

In a meeting between Auel, Vulnus, and Sherlock, a system was formulated to support a sizable guild that would unite the community under a single banner. Vulnus later drafted and archived the plans for future use.

When their plans were put into effect, the Kingdom unified every military guild in existence into one common cause. There were numerous great houses, each led by their respective family. Subservient houses flocked under the great houses, which typically had guilds starting with "Knights of." All houses had claims to land, as well as the right to compete for territories against other houses.

House CraesCrawford would later secede from the Kingdom system and incite the Crawford Rebellion, challenging The Royal Army (the joint forces of the Kingdom and its houses). High King Vulnus called upon and rallied the collective houses, mustering what was arguably one of the largest armies in the history of the military community. The two sides clashed in combat for less than an hour, until the leader of House Crawford was forced to swear fealty to the High King before the eyes of the Kingdom.

In due timeAueltime, Auel Vulnus stepped down and abdicated the throne to Auel Vist. This action did not sit well with the other houses and caused major unrest, eventually leading to the demise of the Kingdom.

Knights are the primer fighting force of the Kingdom. They are sworn to fight for and protect their Lord. To become Knight, one must display the attributes of a Knight, someone who is level-headed, intelligent, respectable, and talented warrior. One can only become a Knight after training under a Knight as a Squire, then being Knighted by the LordofLord of their Hold in a formal ceremony. This ceremony signifies the transition of being a warrior within a Banner to a respected Officer within a Hold.

The royal family has direct control over two other guilds which are allied to it. These guilds are the royal gurdsguards divisions. The royal family also has some dominion over other great houses. These great houses in turn have dominion over regions of Graal known as holds. These great houses have control over minor houses, which make up most of the great houses’ armies. Each great house can have three minor houses to rule over. The major houses also have a guild of knights at their disposal to protect their holds.

Minor Houses are filled with two types of people, house members and bannermen. House members are official members of the family, which are allowed to have a small fief of land to control within their Lord’s domain. Bannermen are those that serve as the guards and soldiers for the house. They can be anything from Knights to new recruits. What makes a bannerman a bannerman is that they serve under their Liege-Lord and their Liege-Lord’s family.
