The Warden [OPEN] - Lace - 09-09-2015 The Warden is a group founded by Lace the Silverthorn and Dröm that transcend herd loyalties and religion. Their purpose is to create a foundation for balance, freedom and equality in all of Helovia. With the ideals of the Qian as guidelines they set out to accomplish thus; To prevent war. To protect mortals from the wrath of the gods To protect the gods from the ignorance of mortals. To uphold the balance between races, between lands, between gods. To promote peace and understanding. To strengthen the weak and mend the broken. To live with honor and strive for goodness in everything they do. For this they seek to gather like minded souls from outside of Helovia and from within. The Warden do not discriminate against herds or outcasts. Everyone is welcome, but the group should always strive for neutrality, and leadership is therefore often placed outside official herd lands to provide an unbiased perspective. The Warden strive for peace and prosperity, but they understand that words are not always enough. If a diplomatic solution no longer can be found they will not hesitate to use force in order to achieve their goals. This shall never be done arbitrarily or to protect personal honor, and any member within the Warden found guilty of pointless violence shall be judged before their peers to the full extent of the laws. This also holds true for any cases of rule breaking, for which the ultimate punishment will be exile from the group. ♦ Do not take that which belongs to another ♦ Do not hold another against their will ♦ Do not perform acts of violence without cause ♦ Show the gods due respect. ALL the gods, in equal measure ♦ Belong to no land, and all land. Helovia itself is home, regardless where you live ♦ Aid anyone who asks for help, regardless of personal affliction ♦ All creatures are born as equals and shall be treated as such, regardless of physical, mental, cultural or magical differences ♦ Uphold the Balance, for if it crumbles chaos will reign ♦ Honor the laws of the Warden and honor Yourself. Warden exist in every heart that believe. -- Those who are found guilty of breaking any of these laws will be subjected to a trial. They will be given time to form and submit a formal defense of their actions, after which a jury of peers will decide upon a verdict. Punishments come in following degrees of severity: Theft - The guilty will return the stolen item and provide compensation of equal value*. Kidnapping - The guilty will return the stolen person to their original herd** or family and will provide compensation equal to the time spent captive. Violence*** against opposing forces - The guilty will be condemned to extra labor and will receive a punishment from the leadership equal to the damage caused Violence against civilian^ - The guilty will be condemned to double patrols for two seasons and required to provide compensation to affected parties. Depending on the severity of the crime the guilty may face expulsion from the group Violence against Warden members - The guilty will be faced with punishment from the leadership and may face expulsion from the group Murder - The guilty will be punished, provide compensation to the bereft family (if such can be found) and will be expelled from the group, no pardon. Crimes committed against Warden members - will be treated with the same system, but should the guilty belong to a herd they will first be turned over for judgment by the own herd. With the turning over of a convict the Warden will submit a request to hold a second trial, or if possible to create a jury formed from both the Warden and affected herd. *The compensation will double if the item cannot be returned in its original state. **The guilty will be turned over to face the justice of affected herd - PROVIDING THAT THE WARDEN FIND THE TRIAL WILL BE HELD IN A FAIR AND UNBIASED MANNER ***Meaning acts of violence that was not previously agreed upon by both parties and cannot be justified by provocations or threat of ones own or others life ^Meaning any person not in possession of a warrior rank The leadership of the Warden is formed by the founders and their advisors, the most skilled individual within their groups, called Faction Heads. Together they form the Council that assign missions and deal out punishments, and it is within the power of any of these members to accept or deny membership to the organization. The Head of a Faction may organize their subordinates into further ranks to make communication easier, but all within a Faction should be treated with respect regardless of age, skill or time spent with the Warden. Similarly, all Factions are to treat each other with respect and understanding, as all share an equally important role within the Warden, regardless of their chosen occupation. New recruits will be regarded as trainees until they have spent one season with the Warden, to ensure that their devotion to and understanding of the group is genuine. Once the season has passed they will be offered the choice to stay or leave and may at this time change their Faction if they find that their situation has changed. Any members of the Warden are welcome to and encouraged to approach any member of the Council with concerns, questions or suggestions. Their voices will be heard, but in the end the Council make decisions based upon the welfare of the Warden as a group and of Helovia as a whole. No ranks within the Warden can be taken over by force, but each individual have the right to request a formal challenge with a superior in order to test their skills. The results will be judged by the Council and the individual proven to be more adept at their task will be promoted. This ensures that only those capable are placed in positions of power. The ranks of the Warden fill from the top and down. This means that new members will have key positions while the group is still small, and each additional arrival will have to test themselves against the existing crew if they wish to sit on the Council. All members of the Warden are free to leave the group at any time. The Founders do ask that they are given the chance to hear the reasoning behind this choice however, so that they may have the opportunity to offer solutions or aid as necessary. The Warden is to be a herd and a home as much as an organization, and it is vital that all members believe in and trust the leadership and the cause they are working towards.
