Standing Orders For Patrols

2015-07-15T17:19:31Z

Valestrion:

Here are the Standing Orders for regular Patrols.

# These standing orders apply to regular patrols carried out during a normal security state, and not necessarily to patrols carried out as part of a larger military operation.
# Each patrol will comprise three to five Disciples, of whom one may be of Crusader rank and the rest of Knight rank or higher.
# The patrol will be led by the senior Disciple present who should preferably, but not exclusively, be at least a Chaplain. A Knight may lead the patrol when there is no more senior Disciple available.
# Reinforcements may be brought in, if necessary.
# Patrols should be scheduled to last between about 30 minutes and an hour.
# Patrol objectives should be determined as follows:
#* As requested by a senior officer to support an ongoing operation
#* As requested, through the Patron or Master Chaplain, by the Stormwind Council
#* As requested by the Intelligence Officer to obtain information
#* To establish a presence in areas of known frequent random killings by the Horde
# Rules of Engagement shall apply throughout the patrol

Rank requirements for patrol members are currently suspended until sufficient Disciples of appropriate rank have been appointed.

Knighting Ceremony

2015-07-15T17:16:37Z

Valestrion:

It seems only fitting that, with all the requirements a Knight must meet, he should have a fitting ceremony when he is promoted. The ceremony will be carried out in the Cathedral, and will be a public event. In particular, the Stormwind Council will be invited, as will our allied Guilds, and the Candidate's family and friends.

__TOC__

==Preparation==

The Candidate should attend the Cathedral in full Imperial Plate armour, or the equivalent for those who do not wear plate, without shoulders and helm, and without tabard or weapon. The Candidate should have in his inventory the following items, although in the ceremony itself they will be emoted as being given to him.

* His Disciples Tabard
* Lieutenant Commander's Shoulders or equivalent of identical appearance
* A set of mithril spurs, which will be given to him by the Guild
* A hammer, either one or two handed

Given the gravity of the ceremony, the Candidate should spend a period of 30 minutes in silent prayer, kneeling before the altar. Fifteen minutes before the ceremony is to begin, the Candidate will retire, just out of view, at the entrance to the Disciples crypt.

==The Roles==

The main roles in the ceremony are as follows,

;The Candidate
:The Crusader who is about to be Knighted

;The Master of the Ceremony
:The person who will bestow Knighthood, being the Patron, the Chaplain General or the Master Chaplain, in that order of preference

;The Sponsor
:The person recommending the Candidate for Knighthood, being the Master Chaplain or a Chaplain, in that order of preference

;The Supporter
:A friend of Crusader rank or less, chosen by the Candidate to assist with the ceremony.

;The Knights
:All other Disciples of the rank of Knight or above

==The Ceremony==

Once all Knights and guests are in place, the ceremony will begin. The Master of the Ceremony will be stood at the top of the steps before the Altar, and the Sponsor two steps down, to the right when facing the Altar. The Supporter stands beside the Sponsor. The Knights will form the front rows of the audience.

;Sponsor
:There is one amongst us who has this day completed the requirements to be made a Knight of the Holy Light. Come forth, Crusader <name>, and present yourself before your betters.

The Crusader comes out from the side and kneels on the bottom step before the altar. The Sponsor turns to the Candidate.

;Sponsor
:As a Knight of the Holy Light, you will be recognised as someone who has worked with skill and dilligence to achieve your rank. You will be an example to new members, and a mentor to the Initiates, Aspirants and Crusaders of this Order. From this day forward, you represent not only yourself by your actions, but also the Disciples of Light, of which you are a part.

:The proper goals of a Knight are seven: the Three Virtues of the Holy Light - Respect, Tenacity and Compassion, and the four qualities of a Knight - Justice, Prudence, Temperance and Strength. Do you intend to take on the duties and goals of a Knight of the Holy Light to the best of your abilities?

;Candidate
:I do

The Sponsor turns to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:Sir (or Lady), does the pledge of this Candidate meet with your approval?

;Master of the Ceremony
:It does

The Sponsor turns to the Knights.

;Sponsor
:Knights of the Disciples of Light, will you take the Candidate as your Brother (or Sister) in Arms?

;Knights
:Aye

;Sponsor
:Let the spurs be brought forth

The Master of the Ceremony moves down the steps to stand immediately before the Candidate. The Supporter moves to stand behind the Candidate, bearing the spurs.

;Sponsor
:The Spurs of a Knight symbolise diligence and swiftness, in service and in preservation of his (or her) honour as a Knight. May these Spurs never be stricken from your heels in disgrace.

The Master of the Ceremony nods to the Supporter. The Supporter straps the spurs onto the candidate's boots. The Supporter then returns to his original position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Tabard be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the tabard from a table situated just behind his position and carries it to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Tabard represents the Order that will stand at your side. Let this be a reminder that a Knight does not stand alone. May you always be true to your Brothers and Sisters and never fail them in battle.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the tabard from the Supporter and places it over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his tabard. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Armour be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the Shoulders from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:These Shoulders are the mark of your rank and a symbol of Strength. May you always act as an example to those of lesser rank and be obedient to those of greater rank. May your Strength never fail you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Shoulders from the Supporter and places them over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his Shoulders. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Hammer be brought forth

The Supporter picks up the Hammer from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Hammer is the Symbol of Uther, our great hero of the Holy Light. May you be worthy to follow in his footsteps and may you always set an example to those who come after you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Hammer from the Supporter and hands it to the Candidate. The Candidate bows his head as he accepts the Hammer. The Candidate may now equip the Hammer. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:You have now been girded with the Vestments of Knighthood, and have been told their meanings. Are you still prepared to take your Oath?

;Candidate
:I am

;Sponsor
:Then place your hand upon the Sword and repeat the words of the Oath.

The Master of the Ceremony holds out his sword, point first, and rests it on the Candidate's shoulder. The Candidate rests his hand on the sword and repeats each line after the sponsor

;Master of the Ceremony, repeated by the candidate
:Here do I swear by mouth and hand
:To serve my office as a Knight of the Light
:To support the King in all just actions.
:To improve myself, both body and soul
:To be a beacon of Chivalry and an example to others
:To teach those who wish it and learn what I can
:To seek Justice and Mercy
:To defend the Weak
:To speak with Discretion
:And put Humility before Pride
:So swear I
:<Name>

;Master of the Ceremony
:Having fulfilled the Requirements, been girded with your Vestments, and having taken your Oath, I hereby dub thee a Knight.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Respectful

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's left shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Tenacious

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's right shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Compassionate

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's head.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Arise Sir (or Lady) <Name>

The Master of the Ceremony removes his gauntlet as the Candidate stands, facing him. The Master of the Ceremony strikes the Candidate across the face with the back of his hand.

;Master of the Ceremony
:This blow is to remind you of the Oath you have taken. Let this be the last blow you take unanswered.

The Master of the Ceremony faces the audience.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Lords, ladies, Knights and gentle folk, I present to you Sir (or Lady) <Name>

;Knights
:Huzzah!

Rank Structure

2015-07-13T19:10:13Z

Valestrion: /* Chain of Command */

The Disciples of Light offers a simple structure that divides its members in three groups:
* '''Officers''' with ranks Master Chaplain, High Chaplain and Chaplain in descending order for the chain of command.
* '''Members''', with ranks Knight, Deacon and Devout which form the bulk of the guild's troops and from which junior officers are selected.
* '''Trainees''', with ranks Squire, Adept and Initiate.

=Overview=

==Officers==
[[File:Officers.png|center]]

* '''Patron''': Sir Aarian Northlight. No longer on active service, the Patron was the founder and original leader of the Disciples of Light. He remains a spiritual beacon to the Disciples.

* '''Master Chaplain''': Sir Beladon Indarys. The Master Chaplain is the commander of the Disciples of Light.

* '''Chaplain''': Sir Vardrek Ironhammer. The Chaplains are the teachers and field commanders of the Disciples of Light, tasked to organize the different divisions of the Order.

* '''Chaplain General''': Sir Valestrion Drayke. Unlike the other officers, the Chaplain General does not take an active role in the management of the Disciples of Light directly. Instead, the Chaplain General is tasked with the management of the Holy Brigade, an over-arching organization between various Orders of the Church of the Holy Light.

==Members==

[[File:Members.png|center]]

* '''Knight''' Knighthood is a title reserved for those Disciples who have gone above and beyond to prove their Valor, Courage, Strength, Wisdom and Ability to lead. They can support the leadership by leading missions and training sessions.
**'''Knight-Captain''' Captains can be chosen among the Knights. These are sub-officers chosen to handle a particular responsibility within a division of the Order. For example, they may be tasked to lead a defensive battleline.
**'''Scout-Captain''' Captains can be chosen among the Scouts. These are sub-officers chosen to oversee scouting missions, managment and the training of new scouts.
**'''High Cleric''' High Clerics can be chosen among the Clerics. These are sub-officers chosen to oversee the civilian services and see to the training of new Clerics.

* '''Crusader''' Crusader is the rank given to Aspirants who have finished their training. They form the core of our Order and are able to carry out missions without guidance from officers. Crusaders can be granted acting leadership in the field, with the temporary rank of Lieutenant.

==Trainees==

[[File:Trainees.png|center]]

* '''Aspirant''' Aspirants undergo their training under the tutelage of a ''Knight''. They serve their Knight in and around the field of duty in return for their tutoring within their specialization.

* '''Initiate''' New members of the Order are welcomed in the rank of Initiate. Their duty binds them to learning the origins and principles of the Order, its code, its beliefs and structure. When their knowledge of the Order and its origins is proven adequate, they win the right to bear the coat of arms, take the vow of Disciple and become an Aspirant.

=Special titles=

While rare, sometimes a special title can be awarded to a Disciple for their service to the Order or the community.

==Champion==

The title Champion is awarded to Disciples who demonstrated service to the Order and the citizens of the Alliance beyond measure.
Most commonly, the title is awarded posthumously to Disciples whom sacrificed themselves in the line of duty, for their fellow Disciple or the citizens of the Alliance.

This title is known to be awarded to Officers following an extended service for the Order.

Champions that are honored death are entombed in marble, in the Catacombs of the Cathedral.

==Chaplain General==

The Chaplain General is a special title given to the officer responsible for leading and managing the Holy Brigade. It is not a title directly involved with the management of the Order, though in their duty towards the Holy Brigade, the Chaplain General can task Disciples to commit duties for the Holy Brigade.

=Chain of Command=

While the order encourages Brotherhood and Sisterhood among its Disciples, it also upholds a strict military chain of command during both times of peace and war. This is based upon ranks and titles as follows, in descending order:

*'''Master Chaplain'''
*'''Chaplain'''
*'''Knight-Captain''' and '''Scout-Captain''' and '''High Cleric'''
*'''Knight''' Knights take command if no (acting) Commander is assigned.
*'''Lieutenant''' A Lieutenant is a Crusader temporarily appointed to command more junior Disciples
*'''Crusader'''
*'''Aspirant'''
*'''Initiate'''

**'''Knight-Captain''' Captains can be chosen among the Knights. These are sub-officers chosen to handle a particular responsibility within a division of the Order. For example, they may be tasked to lead a defensive battleline.
**'''Scout-Captain''' Captains can be chosen among the Scouts. These are sub-officers chosen to oversee scouting missions, managment and the training of new scouts.
**'''High Cleric''' High Clerics can be chosen among the Clerics. These are sub-officers chosen to oversee the civilian services and see to the training of new Clerics.

* '''Crusader''' Crusader is the rank given to Aspirants who have finished their training. They form the core of our Order and are able to carry out missions without guidance from officers. Crusaders can be granted acting leadership in the field, with the temporary rank of Lieutenant.

==Trainees==

[[File:Trainees.png|center]]

* '''Squire''' Squires undergo their training under the tutelage of a ''Knight''. They serve their Knight in and around the field of duty in return for their tutoring within their specialization.

* '''Adept''' Adepts undergo their training under the tutelage of a ''Deacon''. They serve their Deacon in and around the field of duty in return for their tutoring within their specialization.

* '''Initiate''' New members of the Order are welcomed in the rank of Initiate. Their duty binds them to learning the origins and principles of the Order, its code, its beliefs and structure. When their knowledge of the Order and its origins is proven adequate, they win the right to bear the coat of arms, take the vow of Disciple and choose a path as Squire or Adept.

=Special titles=

While rare, sometimes a special title can be awarded to a Disciple for their service to the Order or the community.

==Champion==

The title Champion is awarded to Disciples who demonstrated service to the Order and the citizens of the Alliance beyond measure.
Most commonly, the title is awarded posthumously to Disciples whom sacrificed themselves in the line of duty, for their fellow Disciple or the citizens of the Alliance.

This title is known to be awarded to Officers following an extended service for the Order.

Champions that are honored death are entombed in marble, in the Catacombs of the Cathedral.

==Chaplain General==

The Chaplain General is a special title given to the officer responsible for leading and managing the Holy Brigade. It is not a title directly involved with the management of the Order, though in their duty towards the Holy Brigade, the Chaplain General can task Disciples to commit duties for the Holy Brigade.

=Chain of Command=

While the order encourages Brotherhood and Sisterhood among its Disciples, it also upholds a strict military chain of command during both times of peace and war. This is based upon ranks and titles as follows, in descending order:

*'''High Chaplain'''
*'''Chaplain'''
*'''Knight-Captain''' and '''Scout-Captain''' and '''High Cleric'''
*'''Knight''' and '''Deacon'''. While they are essentially equal ranks, on the battlefield Knights take command if no (acting) Commander is assigned.
*'''Devout'''
*'''Squire''' and '''Adept'''
*'''Initiate'''

Knighting Ceremony

2014-01-31T21:21:30Z

Valestrion: /* The Ceremony */

It seems only fitting that, with all the requirements a Knight must meet, he should have a fitting ceremony when he is promoted. The ceremony will be carried out in the Cathedral, and will be a public event. In particular, the Stormwind Council will be invited, as will our allied Guilds, and the Candidate's family and friends.

__TOC__

==Preparation==

The Candidate should attend the Cathedral in full Imperial Plate armour, or the equivalent for those who do not wear plate, without shoulders and helm, and without tabard or weapon. The Candidate should have in his inventory the following items, although in the ceremony itself they will be emoted as being given to him.

* His Disciples Tabard
* Lieutenant Commander's Shoulders or equivalent of identical appearance
* A set of mithril spurs, which will be given to him by the Guild
* A hammer, either one or two handed

Given the gravity of the ceremony, the Candidate should spend a period of 30 minutes in silent prayer, kneeling before the altar. Fifteen minutes before the ceremony is to begin, the Candidate will retire, just out of view, at the entrance to the Disciples crypt.

==The Roles==

The main roles in the ceremony are as follows,

;The Candidate
:The Devout who is about to be Knighted

;The Master of the Ceremony
:The person who will bestow Knighthood, being the Master Chaplain, the Chaplain General or the High Chaplain, in that order of preference

;The Sponsor
:The person recommending the Candidate for Knighthood, being the High Chaplain or a Chaplain, in that order of preference

;The Supporter
:A friend of Devout rank or less, chosen by the Candidate to assist with the ceremony.

;The Knights
:All other Disciples of the rank of Knight or above

==The Ceremony==

Once all Knights and guests are in place, the ceremony will begin. The Master of the Ceremony will be stood at the top of the steps before the Altar, and the Sponsor two steps down, to the right when facing the Altar. The Supporter stands beside the Sponsor. The Knights will form the front rows of the audience.

;Sponsor
:There is one amongst us who has this day completed the requirements to be made a Knight of the Holy Light. Come forth, Devout <name>, and present yourself before your betters.

The Devout comes out from the side and kneels on the bottom step before the altar. The Sponsor turns to the Candidate.

;Sponsor
:As a Knight of the Holy Light, you will be recognised as someone who has worked with skill and dilligence to achieve your rank. You will be an example to new members, and a mentor to the Squires, Adepts and Devouts of this Order. From this day forward, you represent not only yourself by your actions, but also the Disciples of Light, of which you are a part.

:The proper goals of a Knight are seven: the Three Virtues of the Holy Light - Respect, Tenacity and Compassion, and the four qualities of a Knight - Justice, Prudence, Temperance and Strength. Do you intend to take on the duties and goals of a Knight of the Holy Light to the best of your abilities?

;Candidate
:I do

The Sponsor turns to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:Sir (or Lady), does the pledge of this Candidate meet with your approval?

;Sponsor
:The Spurs of a Knight symbolise diligence and swiftness, in service and in preservation of his (or her) honour as a Knight. May these Spurs never be stricken from your heels in disgrace.

The Master of the Ceremony nods to the Supporter. The Supporter straps the spurs onto the candidate's boots. The Supporter then returns to his original position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Tabard be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the tabard from a table situated just behind his position and carries it to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Tabard represents the Order that will stand at your side. Let this be a reminder that a Knight does not stand alone. May you always be true to your Brothers and Sisters and never fail them in battle.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the tabard from the Supporter and places it over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his tabard. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Armour be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the Shoulders from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:These Shoulders are the mark of your rank and a symbol of Strength. May you always act as an example to those of lesser rank and be obedient to those of greater rank. May your Strength never fail you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Shoulders from the Supporter and places them over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his Shoulders. The Supporter returns to his position.

:The Hammer is the Symbol of Uther, our great hero of the Holy Light. May you be worthy to follow in his footsteps and may you always set an example to those who come after you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Hammer from the Supporter and hands it to the Candidate. The Candidate bows his head as he accepts the Hammer. The Candidate may now equip the Hammer. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:You have now been girded with the Vestments of Knighthood, and have been told their meanings. Are you still prepared to take your Oath?

;Candidate
:I am

;Sponsor
:Then place your hand upon the Sword and repeat the words of the Oath.

The Master of the Ceremony holds out his sword, point first, and rests it on the Candidate's shoulder. The Candidate rests his hand on the sword and repeats each line after the sponsor

;Master of the Ceremony, repeated by the candidate
:Here do I swear by mouth and hand
:To serve my office as a Knight of the Light
:To support the King in all just actions.
:To improve myself, both body and soul
:To be a beacon of Chivalry and an example to others
:To teach those who wish it and learn what I can
:To seek Justice and Mercy
:To defend the Weak
:To speak with Discretion
:And put Humility before Pride
:So swear I
:<Name>

;Master of the Ceremony

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's right shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Compassionate

The Master of the Ceremony removes his gauntlet as the Candidate stands, facing him. The Master of the Ceremony strikes the Candidate across the face with the back of his hand.

;Master of the Ceremony
:This blow is to remind you of the Oath you have taken. Let this be the last blow you take unanswered.

The Master of the Ceremony faces the audience.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Lords, ladies, Knights and gentle folk, I present to you Sir (or Lady) <Name>

;Knights
:Huzzah!

Standing Orders For Patrols

2012-11-28T20:33:12Z

Valestrion:

Here are the Standing Orders for regular Patrols.

# These standing orders apply to regular patrols carried out during a normal security state, and not necessarily to patrols carried out as part of a larger military operation.
# Each patrol will comprise three to five Disciples, of whom one may be of Squire rank and the rest of Knight rank or higher.
# The patrol will be led by the senior Disciple present who should preferably, but not exclusively, be at least a Champion. A Knight may lead the patrol when there is no more senior Disciple available.
# Reinforcements may be brought in, if necessary.
# Patrols should be scheduled to last between about 30 minutes and an hour.
# Patrol objectives should be determined as follows:
#* As requested by a senior officer to support an ongoing operation
#* As requested, through the Master Chaplain or High Chaplain, by the Stormwind Council
#* As requested by the Intelligence Officer to obtain information
#* To establish a presence in areas of known frequent random killings by the Horde
# Rules of Engagement shall apply throughout the patrol

Rank requirements for patrol members are currently suspended until sufficient Disciples of appropriate rank have been appointed.

Knighting Ceremony

2012-11-28T20:26:39Z

Valestrion: /* The Ceremony */

It seems only fitting that, with all the requirements a Knight must meet, he should have a fitting ceremony when he is promoted. The ceremony will be carried out in the Cathedral, and will be a public event. In particular, the Stormwind Council will be invited, as will our allied Guilds, and the Candidate's family and friends.

__TOC__

==Preparation==

The Candidate should attend the Cathedral in full Imperial Plate armour, or the equivalent for those who do not wear plate, without shoulders and helm, and without tabard or weapon. The Candidate should have in his inventory the following items, although in the ceremony itself they will be emoted as being given to him.

* His Disciples Tabard
* His Lieutenant Commander's Shoulders, as per the promotion requirement
* A set of mithril spurs, which will be given to him by the Guild
* A hammer, either one or two handed

Given the gravity of the ceremony, the Knight should spend a period of 30 minutes in silent prayer, kneeling before the altar. Fifteen minutes before the ceremony is to begin, the Knight will retire, just out of view, at the entrance to the Disciples crypt.

==The Roles==

The main roles in the ceremony are as follows,

;The Candidate
:The Squire who is about to be Knighted

;The Master of the Ceremony
:The person who will bestow Knighthood, being the Master Chaplain, the High Chaplain or the Chaplain of the Candidate's Chapter, in that order of preference

;The Sponsor
:The person recommending the Candidate for Knighthood, being the Chaplain or Lieutenant of the Candidate's Chapter, in that order of preference

;The Supporter
:A friend of Squire rank or less, chosen by the Candidate to assist with the ceremony.

;The Knights
:All other Disciples of the rank of Knight or above

==The Ceremony==

Once all Knights and guests are in place, the ceremony will begin. The Master of the Ceremony will be stood at the top of the steps before the Altar, and the Sponsor two steps down, to the right when facing the Altar. The Supporter stands beside the Sponsor. The Knights will form the front rows of the audience.

;Sponsor
:There is one amongst us who has this day completed the requirements to be made a Knight of the Holy Light. Come forth, Squire <name>, and present yourself before your betters.

The Squire comes out from the side and kneels on the bottom step before the altar. The Sponsor turns to the Candidate.

;Sponsor
:As a Knight of the Holy Light, you will be recognised as someone who has worked with skill and dilligence to achieve your rank. You will be an example to new members, and a mentor to the Squires and Gallants of this Order. From this day forward, you represent not only yourself by your actions, but also the Disciples of Light, of which you are a part.

:The proper goals of a Knight are seven: the Three Virtues of the Holy Light - Respect, Tenacity and Compassion, and the four qualities of a Knight - Justice, Prudence, Temperance and Strength. Do you intend to take on the duties and goals of a Knight of the Holy Light to the best of your abilities?

;Candidate
:I do

The Sponsor turns to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:Sir (or Lady), does the pledge of this Candidate meet with your approval?

;Master of the Ceremony
:It does

The Sponsor turns to the Knights.

;Sponsor
:Knights of the Disciples of Light, will you take the Candidate as your Brother (or Sister) in Arms?

;Knights
:Aye

;Sponsor
:Let the spurs be brought forth

The Master of the Ceremony moves down the steps to stand immediately before the Candidate. The Supporter moves to stand behind the Candidate, bearing the spurs.

;Sponsor
:The Spurs of a Knight symbolise diligence and swiftness, in service and in preservation of his (or her) honour as a Knight. May these Spurs never be stricken from your heels in disgrace.

The Master of the Ceremony nods to the Supporter. The Supporter straps the spurs onto the candidate's boots. The Supporter then returns to his original position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Tabard be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the tabard from a table situated just behind his position and carries it to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Tabard represents the Order that will stand at your side. Let this be a reminder that a Knight does not stand alone. May you always be true to your Brothers and Sisters and never fail them in battle.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the tabard from the Supporter and places it over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his tabard. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Armour be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the Shoulders from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:These Shoulders are the mark of your rank and a symbol of Strength. May you always act as an example to those of lesser rank and be obedient to those of greater rank. May your Strength never fail you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Shoulders from the Supporter and places them over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his Shoulders. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Hammer be brought forth

The Supporter picks up the Hammer from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Hammer is the Symbol of Uther, our great hero of the Holy Light. May you be worthy to follow in his footsteps and may you always set an example to those who come after you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Hammer from the Supporter and hands it to the Candidate. The Candidate bows his head as he accepts the Hammer. The Candidate may now equip the Hammer. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:You have now been girded with the Vestments of Knighthood, and have been told their meanings. Are you still prepared to take your Oath?

;Candidate
:I am

;Sponsor
:Then place your hand upon the Sword and repeat the words of the Oath.

The Master of the Ceremony holds out his sword, point first, and rests it on the Candidate's shoulder. The Candidate rests his hand on the sword and repeats each line after the sponsor

;Master of the Ceremony, repeated by the candidate
:Here do I swear by mouth and hand
:To serve my office as a Knight of the Light
:To support the King in all just actions.
:To improve myself, both body and soul
:To be a beacon of Chivalry and an example to others
:To teach those who wish it and learn what I can
:To seek Justice and Mercy
:To defend the Weak
:To speak with Discretion
:And put Humility before Pride
:So swear I
:<Name>

;Master of the Ceremony
:Having fulfilled the Requirements, been girded with your Vestments, and having taken your Oath, I hereby dub thee a Knight.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Respectful

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's left shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Tenacious

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's right shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Compassionate

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's head.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Arise Sir (or Lady) <Name>

The Master of the Ceremony removes his gauntlet as the Candidate stands, facing him. The Master of the Ceremony strikes the Candidate across the face with the back of his hand.

;Master of the Ceremony
:This blow is to remind you of the Oath you have taken. Let this be the last blow you take unanswered.

The Master of the Ceremony faces the audience.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Lords, ladies, Knights and gentle folk, I present to you Sir (or Lady) <Name>

;Knights
:Huzzah!

===The Political Chapter===

While currently inactive, in times of political distress the Disciples of Light call upon the political chapter to support the political bodies of the Alliance. This Chapter also works as diplomatic body, should the need for particular diplomacy arise.

==The senior ranks of the Disciples of Light==

===Champions of the Disciples of Light===

The title of Champion is a title of merit, awarded to Disciples who have demonstrated exceptional devotion or sacrifice to the Order and the Light. It is awarded only with the approval of the Master or High Chaplain.

Throughout the guild's history, the title was often awarded posthumously to those Disciples who have sacrificed themselves for the better of the Order, Light's quest or the Alliance. It is known to be given to some Chaplains after a long and productive term.

Champions carry the same duties as Knights, both towards the Order and the people of the Alliance. However, their accomplishments often gain them a status of reverence among their fellow Disciples, making them favorable leaders when no officer is available.

Known Champions of the Disciples are:
* [[Shariah Longhill|Lady Shariah A. Longhill]], awarded for long service as Chaplain of Faith.
* [[Rentarn Finje|Sir Rentarn Finje]], awarded for his long service as officer and supervising surgeon.
* [[Vinje the Grand|Sir Vinje the Grand]], awarded for his long service as officer.
* [[Tydor Scourgebane|Sir Tydor Scourgebane]], awarded for his service and temporal leadership of the Disciples.
* [[Perturbo|Sir Perturbo]], awarded for his service as officer among the Disciples.
* [[Vatheras|Sir Vatheras]], awarded for his service as officer among the Disciples.
* [[Maci|Lady Maci]], awarded for her service and temporal leadership of the Disciples.
* [[Bors Lighthammer|Sir Bors Lighthammer]], awarded for his sacrifice and service as officer.
* [[Adabella Nightshade|Lady Adabella Nightshade]], awarded posthumously for her sacrifice during her service as a Disciple.

===Knights of the Disciples of Light===

Knighthood is granted after completing the tasks and requirements for every rank. Knighthood is granted through a faction wide ceremony. The title of Knight is one for 'life'... or it would require dramatic events to loose it. The title is carried wherever the Knight goes.

Knighthood is an accomplishment on itself and the final mark in a carreer of hard training and development, but it also symbolizes a new beginning. Once a Knight, the Disciple becomes a shining symbol of the Light and righteousness. A Knight is always on a quest or ready to defend the innocent!
A Knight is required to function as a full Disciple, but is also deemed capable of leading his own operations for his Chapter and make independent choices in his actions.

</gallery>

===Squires of the Disciples of Light===

Upon completing the requirements for promotion, Disciples can be promoted to Squires. Squire is the first senior rank of the order, in which the Disciple is required to make a choice in Chapter. Depending on which Chapter the Squire will join, they will be trained, measured and tested differently.

Generally, Squires receive the final stage of their training in the ways of the Light. They are also given their greatest challenges to prove themselves worthy of Knighthood. Aside from their new tasks and chapter specific training, they are expected to ride (or learn to ride) the swiftest of our gryphons, and assist allies in the toughest and ongoing battles.

==Academy ranks of the Disciples of Light==

===Initiate===
[[File:Rank - Chevalier.jpg|thumb|right|Symbol of the Initiate]]

If the Initiate passes all requirements for promotion, they become Initiate. Their teachings in the Light are continued and more challenging tasks are presented. Initiates partake in the day to day work of the Disciples, working their way throughout the lands and aid our allied forces where required.

As they serve the Order in active duty, they also learn to prepare to choose a Chapter and how to serve it.

===Novice===
[[File:Rank - Squire.jpg|thumb|right|Symbol of the Novice]]

Novices are the starting rank for all Disciples. It is a first step in being taught the ways of the Light and the Order. Most Novices manage to grow rapidly under the teachings of the Academy Chaplain, to the rank of Initiate.

===Knights of the Disciples of Light===

Knighthood is granted after completing the tasks and requirements for every rank. Knighthood is granted through a faction wide ceremony. The title of Knight is one for 'life'... or it would require dramatic events to loose it. The title is carried wherever the Knight goes.

Knighthood is an accomplishment on itself and the final mark in a carreer of hard training and development, but it also symbolizes a new beginning. Once a Knight, the Disciple becomes a shining symbol of the Light and righteousness. A Knight is always on a quest or ready to defend the innocent!
A Knight is required to function as a full Disciple, but is also deemed capable of leading his own operations for his Chapter and make independent choices in his actions.

===Squires of the Disciples of Light===

Upon completing the requirements for promotion, Disciples can be promoted to Squires. Squire is the first senior rank of the order, in which the Disciple is required to make a choice in Chapter. Depending on which Chapter the Squire will join, they will be trained, measured and tested differently.

Generally, Squires receive the final stage of their training in the ways of the Light. They are also given their greatest challenges to prove themselves worthy of Knighthood. Aside from their new tasks and chapter specific training, they are expected to ride (or learn to ride) the swiftest of our gryphons, and assist allies in the toughest and ongoing battles.

Novices are the starting rank for all Disciples. It is a first step in being taught the ways of the Light and the Order. Most Novices manage to grow rapidly under the teachings of the Academy Chaplain, to the rank of Initiate.

===The Political Chapter===

While currently inactive, in times of political distress the Disciples of Light call upon the political chapter to support the political bodies of the Alliance. This Chapter also works as diplomatic body, should the need for particular diplomacy arise.

==The senior ranks of the Disciples of Light==

===Champions of the Disciples of Light===

The title of Champion is a title of merit, awarded to Disciples who have demonstrated exceptional devotion or sacrifice to the Order and the Light. It is awarded only with the approval of the Master or High Chaplain.

Throughout the guild's history, the title was often awarded posthumously to those Disciples who have sacrificed themselves for the better of the Order, Light's quest or the Alliance. It is known to be given to some Chaplains after a long and productive term.

Champions carry the same duties as Knights, both towards the Order and the people of the Alliance. However, their accomplishments often gain them a status of reverence among their fellow Disciples, making them favorable leaders when no officer is available.

Known Champions of the Disciples are:
* [[Shariah Longhill|Lady Shariah A. Longhill]], awarded for long service as Chaplain of Faith.
* [[Rentarn Finje|Sir Rentarn Finje]], awarded for his long service as officer and supervising surgeon.
* [[Vinje the Grand|Sir Vinje the Grand]], awarded for his long service as officer.
* [[Tydor Scourgebane|Sir Tydor Scourgebane]], awarded for his service and temporal leadership of the Disciples.
* [[Perturbo|Sir Perturbo]], awarded for his service as officer among the Disciples.
* [[Vatheras|Sir Vatheras]], awarded for his service as officer among the Disciples.
* [[Maci|Lady Maci]], awarded for her service and temporal leadership of the Disciples.
* [[Bors Lighthammer|Sir Bors Lighthammer]], awarded for his sacrifice and service as officer.
* [[Adabella Nightshade|Lady Adabella Nightshade]], awarded posthumously for her sacrifice during her service as a Disciple.

===Knights of the Disciples of Light===

Knighthood is granted after completing the tasks and requirements for every rank. Knighthood is granted through a faction wide ceremony. The title of Knight is one for 'life'... or it would require dramatic events to loose it. The title is carried wherever the Knight goes.

Knighthood is an accomplishment on itself and the final mark in a carreer of hard training and development, but it also symbolizes a new beginning. Once a Knight, the Disciple becomes a shining symbol of the Light and righteousness. A Knight is always on a quest or ready to defend the innocent!
A Knight is required to function as a full Disciple, but is also deemed capable of leading his own operations for his Chapter and make independent choices in his actions.

===Squires of the Disciples of Light===

Upon completing the requirements for promotion, Disciples can be promoted to Squires. Squire is the first senior rank of the order, in which the Disciple is required to make a choice in Chapter. Depending on which Chapter the Squire will join, they will be trained, measured and tested differently.

Generally, Squires receive the final stage of their training in the ways of the Light. They are also given their greatest challenges to prove themselves worthy of Knighthood. Aside from their new tasks and chapter specific training, they are expected to ride (or learn to ride) the swiftest of our gryphons, and assist allies in the toughest and ongoing battles.

==Academy ranks of the Disciples of Light==

===Chevalier===
[[File:Rank - Chevalier.jpg|thumb|right|Symbol of the Chevalier]]

If the Squire passes all requirements for promotion, they become Chevalier. Their teachings in the Light are continued and more challenging tasks are presented. Chevaliers partake in the day to day work of the Disciples, working their way throughout the lands and aid our allied forces where required.

As they serve the Order in active duty, they also learn to prepare to choose a Chapter and how to serve it.

===Squire===
[[File:Rank - Squire.jpg|thumb|right|Symbol of the Squire]]

Squires are the starting rank for all Disciples. It is a first step in being taught the ways of the Light and the Order. Most Squires manage to grow rapidly under the teachings of the Academy Chaplain, to the rank of Chevalier.

Knighting Ceremony

2012-10-07T13:51:15Z

Valestrion:

It seems only fitting that, with all the requirements a Knight must meet, he should have a fitting ceremony when he is promoted. The ceremony will be carried out in the Cathedral, and will be a public event. In particular, the Stormwind Council will be invited, as will our allied Guilds, and the Candidate's family and friends.

__TOC__

==Preparation==

The Candidate should attend the Cathedral in full Imperial Plate armour, or the equivalent for those who do not wear plate, without shoulders and helm, and without tabard or weapon. The Candidate should have in his inventory the following items, although in the ceremony itself they will be emoted as being given to him.

* His Disciples Tabard
* His Lieutenant Commander's Shoulders, as per the promotion requirement
* A set of mithril spurs, which will be given to him by the Guild
* A hammer, either one or two handed

Given the gravity of the ceremony, the Knight should spend a period of 30 minutes in silent prayer, kneeling before the altar. Fifteen minutes before the ceremony is to begin, the Knight will retire, just out of view, at the entrance to the Disciples crypt.

==The Roles==

The main roles in the ceremony are as follows,

;The Candidate
:The Gallant who is about to be Knighted

;The Master of the Ceremony
:The person who will bestow Knighthood, being the Master Chaplain, the High Chaplain or the Chaplain of the Candidate's Chapter, in that order of preference

;The Sponsor
:The person recommending the Candidate for Knighthood, being the Chaplain or Lieutenant of the Candidate's Chapter, in that order of preference

;The Supporter
:A friend of Gallant rank or less, chosen by the Candidate to assist with the ceremony.

;The Knights
:All other Disciples of the rank of Knight or above

==The Ceremony==

Once all Knights and guests are in place, the ceremony will begin. The Master of the Ceremony will be stood at the top of the steps before the Altar, and the Sponsor two steps down, to the right when facing the Altar. The Supporter stands beside the Sponsor. The Knights will form the front rows of the audience.

;Sponsor
:There is one amongst us who has this day completed the requirements to be made a Knight of the Holy Light. Come forth, Gallant <name>, and present yourself before your betters.

The Gallant comes out from the side and kneels on the bottom step before the altar. The Sponsor turns to the Candidate.

;Sponsor
:As a Knight of the Holy Light, you will be recognised as someone who has worked with skill and dilligence to achieve your rank. You will be an example to new members, and a mentor to the Squires and Gallants of this Order. From this day forward, you represent not only yourself by your actions, but also the Disciples of Light, of which you are a part.

:The proper goals of a Knight are seven: the Three Virtues of the Holy Light - Respect, Tenacity and Compassion, and the four qualities of a Knight - Justice, Prudence, Temperance and Strength. Do you intend to take on the duties and goals of a Knight of the Holy Light to the best of your abilities?

;Candidate
:I do

The Sponsor turns to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:Sir (or Lady), does the pledge of this Candidate meet with your approval?

;Master of the Ceremony
:It does

The Sponsor turns to the Knights.

;Sponsor
:Knights of the Disciples of Light, will you take the Candidate as your Brother (or Sister) in Arms?

;Knights
:Aye

;Sponsor
:Let the spurs be brought forth

The Master of the Ceremony moves down the steps to stand immediately before the Candidate. The Supporter moves to stand behind the Candidate, bearing the spurs.

;Sponsor
:The Spurs of a Knight symbolise diligence and swiftness, in service and in preservation of his (or her) honour as a Knight. May these Spurs never be stricken from your heels in disgrace.

The Master of the Ceremony nods to the Supporter. The Supporter straps the spurs onto the candidate's boots. The Supporter then returns to his original position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Tabard be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the tabard from a table situated just behind his position and carries it to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Tabard represents the Order that will stand at your side. Let this be a reminder that a Knight does not stand alone. May you always be true to your Brothers and Sisters and never fail them in battle.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the tabard from the Supporter and places it over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his tabard. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Armour be brought forth.

The Supporter picks up the Shoulders from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:These Shoulders are the mark of your rank and a symbol of Strength. May you always act as an example to those of lesser rank and be obedient to those of greater rank. May your Strength never fail you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Shoulders from the Supporter and places them over the Candidate's head. The Candidate may now equip his Shoulders. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:Let the Hammer be brought forth

The Supporter picks up the Hammer from the table and carries them to the Master of the Ceremony.

;Sponsor
:The Hammer is the Symbol of Uther, our great hero of the Holy Light. May you be worthy to follow in his footsteps and may you always set an example to those who come after you.

The Master of the Ceremony takes the Hammer from the Supporter and hands it to the Candidate. The Candidate bows his head as he accepts the Hammer. The Candidate may now equip the Hammer. The Supporter returns to his position.

;Sponsor
:You have now been girded with the Vestments of Knighthood, and have been told their meanings. Are you still prepared to take your Oath?

;Candidate
:I am

;Sponsor
:Then place your hand upon the Sword and repeat the words of the Oath.

The Master of the Ceremony holds out his sword, point first, and rests it on the Candidate's shoulder. The Candidate rests his hand on the sword and repeats each line after the sponsor

;Master of the Ceremony, repeated by the candidate
:Here do I swear by mouth and hand
:To serve my office as a Knight of the Light
:To support the King in all just actions.
:To improve myself, both body and soul
:To be a beacon of Chivalry and an example to others
:To teach those who wish it and learn what I can
:To seek Justice and Mercy
:To defend the Weak
:To speak with Discretion
:And put Humility before Pride
:So swear I
:<Name>

;Master of the Ceremony
:Having fulfilled the Requirements, been girded with your Vestments, and having taken your Oath, I hereby dub thee a Knight.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Respectful

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's left shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Tenacious

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's right shoulder.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Be thou Compassionate

The Master of the Ceremony lays the flat of his sword on the Candidate's head.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Arise Sir (or Lady) <Name>

The Master of the Ceremony removes his gauntlet as the Candidate stands, facing him. The Master of the Ceremony strikes the Candidate across the face with the back of his hand.

;Master of the Ceremony
:This blow is to remind you of the Oath you have taken. Let this be the last blow you take unanswered.

The Master of the Ceremony faces the audience.

;Master of the Ceremony
:Lords, ladies, Knights and gentle folk, I present to you Sir (or Lady) <Name>

;Knights
:Huzzah!

Standing Orders For Patrols

2011-07-18T18:48:30Z

Valestrion:

Here are the Standing Orders for regular Patrols.

# These standing orders apply to regular patrols carried out during a normal security state, and not necessarily to patrols carried out as part of a larger military operation.
# Each patrol will comprise three to five Disciples, of whom one may be of Gallant rank and the rest of Knight rank or higher.
# The patrol will be led by the senior Disciple present who should preferably, but not exclusively, be at least a Champion. A Knight may lead the patrol when there is no more senior Disciple available.
# Reinforcements may be brought in, if necessary.
# Patrols should be scheduled to last between about 30 minutes and an hour.
# Patrol objectives should be determined as follows:
#* As requested by a senior officer to support an ongoing operation
#* As requested, through the Political Officer, by the Stormwind Council
#* As requested by the Intelligence Officer to obtain information
#* To establish a presence in areas of known frequent random killings by the Horde
# Rules of Engagement shall apply throughout the patrol

Rank requirements for patrol members are currently suspended until sufficient Disciples of appropriate rank have been appointed.

Valestrion Drayke

Valestrion:

High Chaplain Sir Valestrion Drayke is Second in Command of the Disciples of Light. Though still only 22 years old, he has risen through the ranks to become Sir Aarian Northlight's right hand man.

==Background==

Though dramatic personal histories seem to be a trademark for Disciples of Light, Valestrion is an exception. He is the son of Caelan Drayke, a junior officer in the Stormwind Guard, still currently serving though now in an administrative role due to a wound received during the Elemental invasion preceding the Cataclysm. His mother, Angharad, is the daughter of a minor priest at Stormwind Cathedral. Valestrion's parents live in Stormwind's Canal District.
