The Alliance

Hail and well met, potential member!

This contract has been set forth to acquaint you with our ways, and to protect you and all others within this allegiance.

History of this Allegiance
This allegiance has been formed to provide a forum for the advancement of intellectual pursuits and to promote adventuring in the lands of Dereth. Our Monarch, Hawk, has been a guiding force to many in the land, even those not pledged to him. Kindness and understanding backed by a firm hand are but a few of his most admirable traits. The Alliance comprises Warriors and Mages of all types.

Requirements for Pledges
ALL pledges will be of level 5 or higher.

The purpose of this is to ensure the person pledging is making an educated decision to join our allegiance. This encourages stability in our ranks, while promoting growth.

ALL pledges will "sign" a page in the Membership Tome, swearing allegiance to Our Monarch, Hawk, and their patron.

Since the original author can only alter parchments, books, and tomes, this will be accepted as a legally binding document.

ALL members will agree to reveal spells only to those that are members of this allegiance.

Shared magic is weakened magic.

General assistance in learning a spell will be given freely by your patron.

Level 2 spells are not generally shared unless the Mage is at least level 5. This will ensure that the recipient has enough knowledge (and mana) to handle a level 2 spell.

Spell knowledge must be earned; no spell will just be GIVEN to someone. The only exceptions to this rule will be made at the discretion of Our Monarch, Hawk, or one of his directs.

ALL Patrons of Allegiance Rank 4 and higher must maintain an organizational chart of the allegiance and an Allegiance Rank Gift List.

This chart will have Our Monarch Hawk at the top, and will be in Excel format. His Majesty will determine the Gift List.

All members of our allegiance will have access to our stores of pyreals/trade notes, components, armor, and weapons. Ask your patron for more information. (For example, you want a super helm, armor level 200, or two Gold Scarabs. Your patron will check to see if it exists in our stores, and provide it for you if possible. NOTE that this is not a charity house. It is expected that you will earn most of what you have.)

Benefits
ALL members, when they first join, will receive an initial "Allowance" to help them get started. This "Allowance" will consist of the following:

  • A number of pyreals (minimum 500)
  • Mage: several components for your class of magic, Scarabs will only be provided at one level above the caster's current highest spell (for example, if you currently can cast a Level II spell, one Copper Scarab will be provided for research).
  • Mage: one free spell, in the class that you are trained in.
  • Warriors: one weapon that is consistent with your specialty. If that weapon requires ammunition, that will be provided at this time as well.
  • Warriors: one extra weapon may be provided.
  • Armor will be provided on a type-needed basis. A Warrior requires heavier, more durable armor, whereas a Mage requires light armor.
  • Additional benefits may, or may not, be provided by your patron.
ALL BENEFITS LISTED ABOVE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY OUR MONARCH, HAWK, AT HIS SOLE DISCRETION. ALL BENEFITS LISTED ABOVE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.

Council representation
One person will represent the Warriors, and another person, the Mages. The Council makeup will be determined by Our Monarch and can be altered at any time at His Majesty's sole discretion. This Council will be utilized to settle any and all disputes within this allegiance. Lord Hawk will sit in the High Chair, and his decisions are final. The Council members are only there to provide Lord Hawk with advice and represent their individual classes.

Allegiance Rank Prizes
Each Patron of Allegiance Rank 4 or higher has a Gift List. The Gifts listed are available for attainment of various Allegiance Ranks. For Allegiance Ranks of 4 and higher, Lord Hawk himself will provide the Gift.

Campaigns
From time to time, Lord Hawk, or one of his Directs, will sponsor a Campaign: an organized trip to a fort, dungeon, or castle. This will provide an avenue for the less experienced to gain some experience. Lord Hawk or one of his Directs will sponsor all Campaigns. If Lord Hawk or one of his Directs does not sponsor the Campaign, then Lord Hawk or one of his Directs MUST sanction it. A parchment will be signed by Lord Hawk, or one of his Directs, and be in the possession of the Leader of the Campaign. All Campaigns will be conducted under a Fellowship. If any of the requirements listed for Campaigns is not met, then you may not be protected under our auspices.

Conclusion
Let it be known that by accepting this Contract and the terms set forth within, you agree to uphold the bylaws and covenants of Lord Hawk. The bylaws and covenants can and will be changed at Lord Hawk's sole discretion. Any and all that are bound by this contract and violate this contract agree to the re-assignment of their vassals to another member of the allegiance and immediate removal of all rank and privileges. Lord Hawk reserves the right to make modifications to this Contract with, or without, prior notification to the members of this allegiance.

These words are set forth and decreed as legal and binding in the Lands of Dereth by

His Majesty, Lord Hawk
