1 Domain

Garin is the Lord of War, Tyranny, and the exercising of dominance over the weak. Also known as “The Warlord” or “The Tyrant”.

2 History

<<< To be included when appropriate plot line is finished. >>>

3 Motivation

“To the victor go the spoils, and to the vanquished goes subjugation…”

The followers of Garin know that it is might that makes right and believe that they are the ones to set down what is right. They are not above working from the shadows or striking from cover, but when they possess the strength they favor hammer blows.

4 Aspects

On those rare occasions when Garin manifests or grants Divine Intervention it is always with swift and terrible force. As he expects his priests and followers to be conquerors, Garin always looks dimly upon those who entreat his aid, so his interventions will rarely result in positive for the caller. Often it will result in deformity, curses, or other penalties, though not death. For those the priest has called aid against, if they are enemies of the faith then Garin will destroy them…utterly.

For those times when Garin does manifest, he always appears as he did in his moral life, a tall human with graying black hair and dressed in black leather armor and wielding a great sword.

5 Structure of the Priesthood/Temple

Garin’s priesthood collectively refers to itself as the Legion of Garin, or simply the Legion, and the priests are collectively referred to as Legionnaires. The temples, or Citadels, are referred to as Cohorts and typically take the form of, for example, the Rougtero Cohort. The command of each cohort is given to an Arch Strategos who is in turn advised by a number of other senior priests & lay priests known as the Strategoi. Unlike other Faiths, lay priests may ascend to the leadership of the Cohorts or even the Legion.

Within each Cohort are various subcommands, or Merarchies to govern the various aspects of the Companies endeavors and each is under the command of a Strategos. These Merarchies commonly include: Land Forces, Naval Forces, Intelligence Services, and Logistic Services. It is from these Strategoi that the Arch Strategos is chosen. Further each of these Merarchies has distinct divisions within each that are geared towards training in more specialized areas that fall under the purview of that command.

These break down to Tetrarchies under the command of a Tetrarch and comprised of 2-4 Lochos of 5 to 10 Skylos under a Decurion.

The Legion of Garin is commanded by the Archon of Garin. The Archon is commonly chosen by Garin who will select from among the Arch Strategois of Jaern, though exceptions can be made for truly exceptional individuals.

5.1 Organization

The organizational structure of each Citadel, or Cohort, flows like a pyramid from the top, Arch Strategos, down through the Strategoi, Tetrarch, Decurion, Skylos, and down to the Probationary Legionnaire and Candidate.

Each Legionnaire is responsible to those above him in the hierarchy and addresses them with the respect due their position. Though if a higher ranking Legionnaire proves to be incompetent this respect can waver to outright hostility. Further, Legionnaires will always address a superior as “Sir”, “Ma’am”, or by their rank.

5.2 Requirements

Potential Legionnaires must first and foremost be of Pure Human, Pure Elven, or Human-Elven descent. They must also be of good health, intelligence, and have the strength necessary for wielding a sword. Candidates of either sex are accepted as well.

Legionnaires are always on the look out for new potential Candidates and if someone with real potential is found they are reported to the Intelligence Command of the Citadel who investigates the candidate, and then if they are found to be acceptable, they are recruited into the faith.

Also, some are drawn to the Legion because of they feel a special calling in their hearts for the faith of Garin. In these cases the potential Candidate seeks out word of a near by Citadel, and then petitions for entry. Generally Candidates who become Legionnaires in this manner are marked for greater things as it is viewed that Garin has selected and guided them into the fold personally.

Elves may become full priests of Garin as well. If they wish too, at the end of their advanced training a blood sacrifice is made in which they in essence steal a soul of a victim that allows them to have the divine connection to Garin. To those observing the Elven priest by magical means this soul is atrophied and strange to behold, but there none the less. Further, this does not make elves subject to the death effects of Deliver, it would however eliminate their ability to recharge their spell casting abilities until a new ceremony was performed.

5.2.1 Apprenticeship

The Candidacy of a Legionnaire will last for 8months, during which time he is subjected to hard mental and physical testing and training. Also during this time, the Candidate is never allowed to leave the Citadel and constantly kept under the watchful gaze of the Land Force Instructors who train oversee the candidates during this time. At the end of this time, called The Candidacy, the Candidate is inducted into the Legion as a Probationary Legionnaire after undertaking a Binding Oath to faithfully serve Garin and the Legion. But the Probationary Legionnaire is not done with his training yet.

As a large part of his candidacy was devoted to training to find the area with which he is most suited. The Legionnaire then undergoes another 6 months of advanced training in the area which he is most adept, be it Land Forces, Naval Forces, Intelligence Services, or Logistic Services. At the end of this period the Legionnaire is considered a full member of the Legion.

5.2.2 Initiation

After the Probationary Legionnaire has finished advanced training he is inducted into the Legion during a special ceremony where the Arch Strategos, his commanding Strategos to be, his Candidacy Instructor, and Advanced Training Instructor formally grant him full Legionnaire status. During this ceremony the Legionnaire is presented with his first set of Blessed Weapon and Armor, and then he casts Garin’s Blessed Blade upon the weapon, consecrating it and himself to Garin.

5.2.3 Duties

All Legionnaires are tasked with the promotion of the Legion of Garin either clandestinely or overtly, first and foremost. They are also to perform maintenance upon the Citadel as well as to donate excess funds to the upkeep of the faith.

Further, each day the Legionnaire is tasked with performing a 30 minute set of exercises to maintain strength and prowess. These exercises may be performed solely when not near a Citadel, but in such cases, it is expected for the Legionnaire to join his brothers and sisters for the workout. Further, at least once a year, Legionnaires of a Cohort will gather, usually in a remote area, to train together for one month. This group training is often supplemented with more frequent Lochoi and Tetrarchy level training.

When in the field or operating alone on a mission for the Citadel, the Legionnaire is expected to advance the cause of Garin if at all possible. However, given the often secretive nature of the Priesthood, this is often done clandestinely.

5.3 Functions

Given that the Legion is often a minority within a given region, and sometimes persecuted for its tenants, it will generally operate in secret. The Arch Strategos, Strategoi, and other Legionnaires will be dispersed amongst the populace and working in secret. Further, non-commanding Legionnaires will often undertake work as mercenaries to hone their skills, test themselves, and earn money for the faith. However, despite work as a mercenaries, each Legionnaire always puts the good of the Faith ahead of all else.

Within each Cohort are several subcommand that govern the various duties of the Citadel. The first is the Land Forces which is comprised of both land and amphibious forces. Its members train in both in land combat, marine assaults, and boarding actions. When mustered are organized into Tetrarchies and Lochi. Often the Land Forces will have a specially trained group within its ranks to devote to the accomplishment of special missions. Members of the Land Forces will often hire themselves out as mercenaries and adventurers.

The second subcommand is the Naval Forces which specializes in naval combat, construction, and other activities. While each Legionnaire within the naval forces is generally an experienced sailor first and foremost, they also include many skilled fighters and artillery crews. Further, there is often a special cadre of marines who specialize in waterborne special missions such as sabotaging ports and ships. Members of the Naval Forces are also organized into Tetrarchies and Lochi. Tetrarchy’s generally consist of the entire crew of a ship, and Lochi will often comprise the watches on a ship or other specialized units within the Naval Forces. Members of the Naval Forces will often hire out as Marajo’s for Hire or act as pirates, with the Naval Forces Strategos often being a local shipping magnate or ship yard owner.

The next subcommand is that of the Intelligence Services which specialize in the gathering and processing of information for the other subcommands and the Arch Strategos. Each Intelligence Legionnaire is expected to maintain his own set of eyes and ears throughout the region and keep tabs on people and events of interest. These Legionnaires are often the most widely traveled of the Citadel and are generally viewed with suspicion by the rest of the Citadel as they are also charged with maintaining Citadel Security and loyalty tests. However, because they are in charge of loyalty tests, they are often a fairly cutthroat group since they must also watch each other. Like the Land and Naval Forces, the Intelligence Services also generally maintain their own special operations group for the accomplishments of the most clandestine tasks. Members of the Intelligence Services may work in their day to day lives as absolutely anything

The final major subcommand is that of the Logistic Services. These are the people charged with the running of the day to day operations of the Citadel in terms of supplies and equipment. They maintain the bases, caches, and finances keeping things in order as well as expanding the Citadel’s holdings. Their primary task, of course, is keeping the Citadel well funded so that it may complete its operations. They often include many craftspeople who produce the supplies the Citadel needs, including weaponry, arms, etc…

Outside of normal Citadel Structure are also a few special organizations which serve the Archon directly. These include the Archonal Guard which functions as the personal guard and elite troops of the Archon. The Archonal Intelligence Service which gathers intelligence for the Archon as well as checks the loyalty of the various Intelligence Services and often has at least one member of a Citadel Intelligence Service as a member. Finally there is rumored to be a cadre of Legionnaires who specialize in accomplishing extremely bloody and dangerous tasks. Though they have numerous names attributed to them, they are generally referred to as the Black Tyrants.

5.4 Advancement

The Legion is a strict meritocracy in that it only promotes those who have been the most effective and meritorious in their services to Garin. This law comes down from Garin himself who demands that only the best and the brightest climb through the ranks of his Legion.

When a position becomes vacant, the eligible Strategois and their assistants will review the eligible candidates, and then promote the one who is most eligible. Further, when a Citadel is capable of funding a new Citadel in another location, it will pick the most eligible members to become the new command staff of this new Citadel.

5.5 Dogma

“The Sword of Justice has been broken…It is now the Sword of Strength which brings order to the world.”

The followers of Garin are, in many cases, former followers of T’or who grew dissatisfied with the self imposed limitations that that faith placed upon its members. Further they grew tired of the uncaring manner in which many viewed justice and the laws. So instead in their quest for justice they turned to dominance and the view that they should impose their justice upon the masses. Still others see it as their right, by force of arms to dominate others. And still others simply relish the thrill of battle and glories of war and have found a home within the Legions of Garin.

But for all who find their calling within Garin’s Legion their motives become the same, the advancement of the Faith and the acquisition of power in its various forms, from brutal tyrant, to merchant prince, to mercenary captain, to politician. But they all believe in the virtues of dominance and war and consider all other faiths to be heathens to be used with the exception of Torites. Torites they consider to be heretics, whom Garin holds a special hatred for. Though they will work with Torites, they will always in the end betray them.

Further, Garin has a special dislike for the non-human and non-elven races of Jaern. He and his followers view them as inherently lesser creatures that are to be dominated and used. Though they will use them as mercenaries and if outnumbered will hide their disdain, they will only do so if it advances the cause of Garin.

5.6 Traditions

Legionnaires are expected to be able to defend themselves and the faith using whatever means necessary. However, they do have a special weapon and suit of armor and as they grow in power, these become more and more of a part of them, though they lack that fundamental connection that is renown among Torites. The weapon must always, without exception, be a sword, though the style is left up to the individual Legionnaire. The armor may change over time, but Legionnaires will often favor differing suits depending upon missions until they obtain greater levels of power when they are then able to specially bond a suit of armor.

5.6.1 Clothing

Legionnaires do not have an every day uniform or garb so to speak. Instead, because of their often clandestine work, they will dress in whatever is appropriate. However, when they gather for holidays, ceremonies, and other formal gatherings they will dress in uniforms. Each Legionnaire has a formal uniform that is specific to their Cohort as well as a field uniform which is again specific to their cohort. The one thing they do have in common however is the emblem of Garin worn over their hearts, a black mailed fist clutching the blade of a sword on a silver field, as well as a rope with knots of rank on the Legionnaire’s collar.

5.6.2 Appearance

While the dress of Legionnaires may very, the Tenets of Garin do require that members maintain a well mannered appearance, with dispensations being allowed for when acting in the best interests of the faith. Legionnaires should be well groomed at all times. Makeup, while allowed, is not encouraged.

5.6.3 Speech and Gestures

Superiors are always addressed either as “sir” or “ma’am” as appropriate, except when discretion is called for such as in mixed cohort. Those of lower rank are addressed by their rank or rank and name.

For combat, each cohort, Tetrarchy, and Lochoi develops its own battle commands and hand gestures that are used to convey orders quickly and concisely. These commands are never shared outside the group to which they belong.

Ranks within the Legion of Garin are divided as follows, ranks below Strategos are divided into standard and senior, with Senior being superior, the difference between the two being Seniors use a gold braid and junior using silver.

Rank Commands Rank Emblem

Archon Legion of Garin Gold Braid with 5 Knots

Arch Strategos Citadel-Cohort Gold Braid with 4 Knots

Strategos Subcommand Gold Braid with 3 Knots

Tetrarch Tetrarchy Cord with 2 Knots

Decurion Lochoi Cord with 1 Knot

Skylos None Cord without knots

6 Worship

6.1 Sacrifices

As mentioned before, blood sacrifices of soul bearing victims to allow an elf to become a full priest is practiced, but also other forms are practiced as well. Garin demands that during or after a major battle, victims be dedicated to him and their blood shed in his name. Be this in the form of those who perish via the priest’s blade in combat, or prisoners who are sacrificed via ceremony. However, after all major battles, at least one sacrifice must be made to the glory of Garin.

6.2 Donations

At least 25% of all of a Legionnaire’s income must be donated to the maintenance and upkeep of the Citadel to which he belongs. Portions of this are also reserved for the establishment of new citadels, operational funds, and sent to the Archon for use towards the good of the faith as a whole. Those found to be profiteering for their own advantage however are punished harshly and immediately.

6.3 Obligations

For at least 30 minutes every day a priest must exercise to maintain physical soundness as well as skill with his weaponry. Further, for one month of every year, Cohorts will gather together to train as a unit in a remote location to keep their skills as working as a group fresh. Further, training on the Lochoi & Tetrarchy levels are conducted more frequently.

6.4 Penance

Those violating the tenets of Garin are dealt with in fairly harsh means. For minor transgressions of discipline and etiquette, punishments range from a judicial flogging to fines. For more serious transgressions that endanger others then demotion is often the punishment meted out. For those that endanger the Cohort or even the Faith, the only punishment is Death.

6.5 Advice

Legionnaires may often be found as advisors to kings, warlords, and other potentates, though they do so clandestinely and always seek to influence those they advise to act in ways that would please Garin. Further, since they often disguise who they are, they are extremely reluctant to hire out their spell services to others not of the faith. While they may be willing to cast core spells for others for donations, they will never do so of the spells of Garin unless it absolutely and unequivocally advances the cause of Garin or to save their own lives.

7 Holidays & Feast Days

The only true feasts within the faith are those held after victories where the victorious Legionnaires will invite those of his Cohort to celebrate the advancement of the faith. Said priest traditionally supplies the food, drink, and other sorts of entertainment with the larger the victory the more lavish the celebration.

Further, at the end of each yearly cohortal gathering a banquette will commonly be held that, depending on the Citadel holding it, can be quiet lavish or Spartan depending on the local traditions. These gatherings are not nearly as boisterous as those Victory Celebrations, they are instead much more sedate and often include reviews of what has been learned in the training, discussing new tactics to be reviewed for next years training, and toasts to the memory of fallen brothers and sisters.

8 Ceremonies

The only real ceremonies conducted within the faith are for those times when new Legionnaires are inducted, elves are given souls to become priests, and the times when sacrifices are done.
