The Schwarzbär House Guard | House Black
IC:
Notices would be seen scattered around Regalia, all reading the same message: "Dear reader, if you find yourself reading this and you are not of a stalwart constitution, save your time and do not read on. But on the off chance someone is reading this with conscientious intentions to dedicate their time to a worthwhile pursuit, consider this is an official invitation to apply for a spot in The Schwarzbär House Guard. A guard made of honorable and skilled warriors looking to protect and show their worth for nobility and more specifically, House Black. I, Arran Black trust that you will be treated fairly under my command and will be paid accordingly for your service." the notice continued ended short, leaving a simple address and the names "Baron Christopher Black, Paladin Arran Black" signed across the bottom right of the paper finally, leaving the family's sigil of a Dragenthal Bear stamped in on the lower space of the page.
OOC:
The Schwarzbär Guard started in August of the year 305 A.C by a newly graduated Viridian, Arran Jay Black. House Black's guard has always been around but fell through to be seemingly unorganized and more of a social hangout instead of a functional house guard. The Black saw this flaw in his family's guard, and more importantly their safety, and decided to remodel it himself. The Viridian modeled it after his own family's symbol, the Drangenthal Bear which symbolizes strength and ferocity in the protection of one's kindred. With this, Arran began to model a code to keep his members in line and within the law, the Frieden Code was crafted to ensure peace among each other and to fight within the Empires requirements.
