"In nomine Spiritus sancti, quod de qua Synodus pertractabit."
"In the Name of the Holy Ghost, which the Synod is to take up."
Introduction
The Claw of Union is an organisation that covers the protection of the Synod and control of the Unionist Feudal levies, in other words, they are the Synodical army and guard. All good Unionist warriors should strive towards becoming a Sword's Legionarius, which fulfil the roles of bodyguards, soldiers and event servants of the Reverends of the Synod. The Sword's Legatus who leads the whole organisation, is also responsible as the person for summoning the Warmeet in case of mobilisation of the Synodical military. Men and women of all standing, regardless of experience are taken—so long as they can wield their weapon of choice to a basic level. No matter what background a Legionarius recruit comes from, they are always afforded extensive further training.
The current Legatus, Vladislav Volkovich, is the first Reverend to have ever lead the order, but nonetheless proud and efficient, he is also recognised as the most aggressive Legatus in carrying out his duties to date. The Order is sure to be the first and last shield of Unionism in Regalia and elsewhere in the world.
Hierarchy
Sword's Legatus
The proud leader and commander of The Claw of Union, and General of the Synodical Feudal levies. The Sword's Legate is responsible for the entirety of The Claw of Union.
- Reverend Vladislav Volkovich
Sword's Praefectus
The Sword's Praefectus acts as the senior military advisory to the Legatus, and while usually not a knight like that of Centurions, they are more experienced in tactical and command schooling, and as such, act almost as a second Legatus, in terms of filling in s a General where the Legatus sends him and can not be himself. Praefectus are experienced at training new recruits and local forces as well as establishing defenses.

Sword's Centurions
The Sword's Centurions are a senior rank in the Claw of Union's army. The most senior centurion is known as the Primus Pilus and they advise the Legatus. The Centurions function similar to a Decanus when guarding, but on the field of battle, hold a higher rank, commanding 100 men. As a result, when guarding, the Centurion and the Decanus are equal in rank, but in the army during battle, a Centurion can command up to ten Decanus. It is expected for a Centurion to be an experienced Holy Knight with a record of deeds in service to the faith.
- None
Sword's Decanus
Sword's Decanus are the junior officers of The Claw of Union. Tasked with much of the same responsibilities as the Sword's Legionarius while also overseeing their command. It is expected for a Decanus to be experienced Holy Knights or soldiers with a particular proclivity for the faith. On the field of battle, they command up to 10 men.
- Cedric of Turrent
Sword's Legionarius
The Sword's Legionarius are the stalwart foundation of The Claw of Union. They are tasked with guarding and protecting the Reverends of the Synod as well as being the soldiers of their army, and unquestionably so. They are Holy warriors of the Synod, but more so than anything devoted servants to the Spirit. They are expected to carry out orders of the Decanus, Legatus and Reverends without question and with blind loyalty to the faith.

Hero of the Anvil
The Hero of the Anvil or Heros include is a prestigious positional rank of the Claw of Union responsible for the forging of armour and weapons for the Synod's Army. Each one follows a half forge, half ceremonial process of first creating a weapon or armour piece, then engraving it with a Unionist verse or the motto of the Claw of Union, "In nomine Spiritus sancti, quod de qua Synodus pertractabit." or "In the Name of the Holy Ghost, which the Synod is to take up." before treating the piece with holy water provided by the Synod and performing a prayer. Members of this rank also repair armour and weapons when they are damaged.
- Karoline Vandervelde
Scholar Domus
A Scholar Domus is both the ceremonial and religious expert of the Claws of Union assigned to a warrior with experience on the battlefield and is occasionally present to raise morale of the Synod's Legionarius, offer intelligent discussion to the various officers of the Claw of Union. Whilst they have no input in the workings of the Claw, their counsel is often requested for a variety of reasons, from religious text, to prayer before battle, as well as oversight of burial of the fallen in battle. They are the Claw's religious expert and connection to the Spirit's knowledge. On top of this, they are also tasked with classified research and experimentation when required.
