The Order of Dratmos
Purpose:
The Order of Dratmos is a loose group of the warriors and adventurers of Althanas. While some tend to believe that the power these individuals have belong to those that buy their services, This Order thinks differently. Instead, The Order of Dratmos stands for the belief that it’s members are the ones that really hold the power. They choose were to align themselves with and what they put their skills towards. In short, it’s mostly an adventurer’s or mercenary guild. However, the highest bidder doesn’t necessarily get to borrow their skills, but rather to whom they choose to work for.
The Order isn’t closed to just those that can wield a weapon either. It reconigizes the fact that there are those that wield magic or other skills as well. As long as you consider yourself and warrior, knight, adventurer, mercenary or someone that may end up fighting for what they believe in or for what they stand for you’re welcome to join the Order. Just be prepared that we’re the ones that sometimes risk our lives and may eventually be hired to help fight in a war.
Admission:
Membership into the Order is open to anyone that expresses interest in joining. Although the initation process hasn’t been decided yet, the idea of holding a small tournament is being considered. If this does happen, all participants will be initiated just for competing. If this does not happen or if someone joins after the Order has obtained a few members, newcomers will be initiated by means of fighting against a member of the order in the Citadel. This is just so that the Order can evaluate the ability of the initiate and find a suitable place for him in the Order.
Financing:
Since the Order of Dratmos (OD) is somewhat of a mercenary group. It is only logical that the major source of income comes from those that buy the guild’s services. Of course, most of the gold goes to the members who completed the task. The Order understands that money can be a problem for most adventurers. Which is why we are satisfied with ten percent of the earnings. All gold received from the members will be held in a bank until a need arises for it. Such as if a member needs a new weapon or a piece of armor.
It’s also said that one member is interested in purchasing some land in Salvar in order to create a mining site. Once that gets established it should help the Order greatly.
Ranks/Divisions:
The leadership of the OD will be comprised of five individuals. These five will meet regularly and make make the important decisions such as where to assign new recruits, purchasing food and water, diplomatic negotiations and which contracts the OD will accept. Each of the five is given the privilege to have a title of their choosing and each one is head of a division of the Order. The Divisions have yet to been named, but it’s clear that each one will be geared towards the different methods the members work. For example, one division will be for those that use an arsenal of magic, while another will be for stealth and assassination. From there, each one of the five will decide which rank to give to those in his division and will give promotions as he/she sees fit.
The ranks are as follows, keep in mind names are likely to change.
The Five
Veteran
Member
Initiate
Code of Conduct:
1. Under no circumstance is one member to kill another unless the two of them are either competing in a tournament or fighting in the Citadel. In these two cases the Order encourages the member to fight their hardest. That way they can receive construction critisism from their opponent and learn where they can improve.
2. If there is a dispute between members outside of a tournament or the Citadel, it will be taken care of in the means of a one on one fight. However, the fighters are given wooden weapons and killing the opponent is strictly prohibited. To ensure there are no ‘accidents’, the match will be witnessed by a group of fellow members.
3. Members must contribute ten percent of earning received from jobs given to them by the Order. All other earnings a member receives is seen as theirs, Therefore it completely belong to them.
4. While members are allowed to be a part of other institutions, Loyalty is important to the OD. Therefore, if a member is part of another group that goes to war against the Order he/she must comes to the Order’s defense. If the individual chooses to side with the other group, he/she will be shown no mercy in the coming battle.
5. All private meetings between members of the Order are to be kept private. If you take a top-secret mission given to you by the Order, there’s a reason it’s a secret.

1: It came from the desert
Description: Word has travelled from Fallien of strange sightings of a monster near the Ruins of Kesta. It's not the fact that this creature is near the ruins, it's the description of the fiend. Witnesses descripe it things as a large, scaled creature with massive front claws that leaps out from underneath the sand. Lightning crackles at the end of its mace-like tail and it attacks swiftly and suddenly. The thing that worries most people is this. The frightening thing about it is that it resembles a blue dragon. You job is to find out if these rumors are true and where the creature came from. If you happen to encounter it, avoid it. If you think you can kill it, you're more than welcome to try. Just remember it's your life on the line.
Reward: 500 gold
Alright, hopefully this will interest some people. Once we get enough member we'll discuss ideas for possible benefits and such. Hopefully I'll be able to answer any questions.
