The Royal Army

[Prince Arthur Pendragon]

You cannot jointhe brotherhood or the Guild if you join the army

About the Army

The Army consists of four Divisions:

Division 1- The Swordsmen
With strong upper bodies and nimble feet, swordsmen must be able to wield a heavy weapon and be quick to flee from enemies.

Division 2- The Archers
Archers must be clever, staying away from the heat of battle, to pick off the most dangerous enemies from a distance. They may also carry a small knife, useful for close combat.

Division 3- The Cavalry
The most rounded members of the army, the cavalry, should be able to wield swords and bows moderately well, but must be able to carry and use a spear effectively. It is these soldiers upon their noble steeds who lead the Amry of Camelot into battle.

Division 4- The Assasins
While wielding a weapon of choice in battle, Assasins are more often used for spying, and of course killing important members of enemy nations. They must be agile and sly, and strong willed as the job can get very intense. Physical strength is less of an important factor in this division.

In order to be accepted into any division, you must first apply in the recruitment office. If accepted, you must then head to the training grounds [create your thread] and be willing to train hard in order to rise through the ranks.

When training, you may cover all types of weapon, not just the ones which fit your division. Therefore, Archers may use swords and Swordsmen may ride a horse.

You must also complete one division before moving onto the next.

Army training works similar to that of the Magicians Guild. Through making a series of posts, increasing in length, your character becomes more skilled and powerful in combat, and this is reflected through the titles awarded at each stage.

To Train in the Army:

1) Your character must possess an interest or skill in combat, but must not be powerful. You do not necessarily have to have stated this in your character application to the site.

2)Firstly you must enrol. To enrol in the Army, follow the instructions and post in the Recruitment office. Once I have replied confirming your place you may begin training.

3) Training: Traning occurs in the training board. On your first training session, you may create a thread simply called' [insert character's name here]' Training'. Here, you will post all of your training sessions and I will post my feedback.

4)In the training sessions, you must write a post to a certain minimum wordcount. Training will take place under my instruction [therefore your posts must make reference to Prince Arthur, including his opinions of you and his feedback during session. For this part you MAY roleplay The Prince] Just make sure you convey a gradual improvement in your abilities. You may also include NPC's in your training. [see the example post below for how to RP Prince Arthur]

5) I will reply to your training post either accepting it, or denying it. Reasons for denying it include: being more than 10% under the wordcount, very poor grammar/spelling, plagiarism of a fellow magicians training ideas etc.) Please wait for one post to be accepted before posting another.

6) Ranks and Word Counts (Ranks, once achieved may be added to your signature)

Title/Task
Recruit: Enrollment accepted
Soldier: One post 250 words
Page: One post 500 words
Squire: One post 650 words
Master: One post 800 words

Knight: - 1000 word post.

(Knight is the highest possible rank in the Army. The equivalent to the Enchanters of the Guild.)

All wordcounts are minimum, more would be great!

I hope that makes everything clear,
Any questions don't hesistate to PM me (Or the other staff members)
