Chartered Company: Order of the Crimson Guard


Pathfinder Online

Goblin Squad Member

Background: The Order of the Scarlet Mockingbird was founded during Absalom Reckoning, year 4697, in the River Kingdoms. The order began as a grouping of guards, noble paladins, and clerics seeking to protect the roads to and from Liberthane. They earned a meager sum offering protection from banditry and piracy to wealthy traders.

Eventually a large following of the order sought to establish their own bastion of protection against the chaos. Utilizing an in-depth intelligence network they maneuvered their loyal to the Crusader's Road and founded the Order of the Crimson Guard.

Name: Order of the Crimson Guard (Shorthand: Crimson Guard)

Alignment Axis: LG / NG / CG
LN / TN / CN
(Due to the principles of the Order the more lawful and good alignments are heavily favored)

Purpose: (Our OOC purpose is to protect the investments of players within the guild, while simultaneously offering and extending hands of friendship/protection to other guilds and industrial pursuers.)

1. To protect the roads for safe travel and trade
2. To establish a city of fortitude and freedom
3. To militarily disrupt the operations of Evil
4. To offer training and protection to those who aid the Order
(Our Particular Lore will allow us to pursue industry and team-building, while offering recruits/veterans protection for their investments and pursuits)

Structure:(We want to allow as much player customization as possible while still allowing the principles of the guild to improve.)

Order members can focus on their association with the order or they can leave to pursue industrial pursuits, joining any association they must. Those who do associate exclusively with the Order are encouraged, but not required, to join one of the three branches of the order, which each specialize on one means in order to improve the overall effectiveness of the order. These branches represent the differing philosophies of the Order.

The Branches are as follows:
1. The Bulwark - The Militaristic Arm of the order. This branch provides protection to the other branches and is the branch responsible for fulfilling contracts in relation to protection. Members of the Bulwark are referred to as Knights.
2. The Watchtower - The eyes and ears of the order. This branch provides the necessary intelligence to the other branches and is responsible for gathering lore and maintaining diplomatic ties to other organizations, in addition this branch is also responsible for fulfilling bounty contracts. Members of the Watchtower are referred to as Sentries.
3. The Union - The moving gears behind the order. This branch provides the backbone of the organization. Responsible for training and industrial pursuits the Union allows members to seek the best way they know how to improve the order. Members of the Union are referred to as Citizens.

(Each branch has its own methods of promotion and leadership.)

Recruitment: The recruitment process is done via interview with a 1 week trial period followed by a 1 month evaluation period. If the individual fails to attain the first rank above recruit after one month they will be evaluated at the end of the month for disenfranchisement.

Who we are looking for:
We are looking for individuals who can work well in a team and will be inclined to aid others while fleshing out their own experience. With a focus on Team-building exercises and industrial pursuit we will hope to shape our little corner of Golarion into something that offers both protection and advancement in all aspects of the game.

((The HOOK: One of our founding principles will be Anti-Grieving.))

RP Level: Casual. Official events will be high RP, (Not necessarily in character, but the spirit of the event will be portrayed) RP is highly encouraged but not required.

Nihimon will add your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list shortly. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM him or post a clear request here.

Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community, and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach. (Note, this is not an offer for Alliance, just a way to open formal channels for private discussions.)

I look forward to butting heads with you repeatedly.

Dark Archive Goblin Squad Member

Thank you Cartomancer, The Watchtower will keep a strict eye on you and your group, My deepest desire is a peaceful solution.

Goblin Squad Member

Decius has already covered most of what I normally say, so I'll just note that I've added your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list.

Also, I do believe that Deacon left out a few important details about our charter company,

We currently have a voice chat program with several "Sub-Chat" rooms in place so we can communicate with one another in and out of Pathfinder Online, the rooms we have set up currently are "Requests," for basic needs and simple non-quest related inquiries "Tribunal," A place for taking members aside and talk them through disagreements, as well as a judges quarters, no decision will be based on a single individuals opinion the Charter heads will hold a meeting and discuss the best coarse of action. "General Guild Chat," most time will be spent in this chat a place for all guild members at any time "Quest Help,"(Pretty obvious on this one) "The Bulwark," A Chat for Knights only. "The Watchtower," A Sentry only chat "The Union," a chat just for Citizens. and lastly "Crimson Elite" a chat room for the more dedicated members of each of the three branches to discuss cross and multi-branch agendas. There is a text system to these chats as well so messages can be left to other guild members in each of these chat types we are also working on developing an independent website dedicated to the charter members.

The Order of the Crimson Guard adhere to an unofficial motto "Virtute et armis"-By valor and arms. Our Charter has several U.S. military and ex-military personnel, dedicated to a smooth opening, these men and women dedicated their time, effort, and very lives protecting our great nation, and will be devoting their time, and effort once again protect and develop another. Their experience and advisement has us setting our pre-oppening objectives. Foremost we are testing training protocols with civilian players experienced in online play like myself in other MMO's to ensure any training requested by future companions is fun, rewarding, and likely to stick with the player through their career as a gamer.

while we will be focusing heavy effort on anti-grief campaigns, It is also important to note that without expansion and diplomacy it will be impossible to maintain order or even protect our boarders.

We are not forgoing questing and dungeon delving it is an important part of any Pathfinder game, it would be inconceivable to ask players to help guard a land ill-equipt and underleveled!

Also thank you DeciusBrutus, Nihimon


This guild seems very interesting. I like the idea of the three different branches! Have room in the Bulwark for a Half-Elf Cleric?

Dark Archive Goblin Squad Member

always Aven, I will inform our the charter leader and heads of each branch ^^ they will also check this post, Deacon will most likely contact you in person as well.

Goblinworks Executive Founder

If your doctrine and training proves as good as your confidence indicates it will, I might be interested in adapting it to a wider audience.

Give a man a fish, &tc.


As an emissary for the Kingdom of Aeturnum may I extend a cordial welcome to the boards. We would like to extend the offer of diplomtatic links should you be so inclined

Decius I assure you my pretension is well founded, and your intrigue into our procedures fills me with joy.

Pagan, thank you for your hospitality, and upon reviewing your company guidelines I believe a friendly relationship to be in the best interest of both groups I happily accept your generous proposal of early diplomatic negotiations.

If they is any way I can be of service please contact me directly

News from our Commander, we have been working on setting up a settlement charter, and he has taken the time to set our actions to paper. Here is the latest news for the Crimson Guard directly from the desk of Commander Wulf

"Topic: The Crimson Elite places the call towards the establishment of New Liberthane.

Government: City Council. The Council is staffed by a representative from each permanent Chartered Company within the city and the Crimson Elite.

Alignment: L/N

System of Law:
1. All Petty Crimes, crimes with no victim or lack of severity, will be presided over by a judge who will rule in favor of reputation unless evidence is provided to sway his opinion. This also includes disputes between citizens.
2. All Major Crimes, crimes with severity, will be presided over by the Tribunal of the Crimson Elite.

*A Note on Guards*
--In Addition to the normal city guards, members of The Bulwark will regularly join their ranks on patrols in order to better protect the citizens and denizens of New Liberthane.--

Goals: To provide a safe haven to all weary travelers and those who seek training. An industrial and trading hub with a safe economy monitored by The Watchtower and empowered by The Union under the protective shield of The Bulwark.

(( We are wishing to establish a city safe from grieving to use as a central hub in our protective duties.))

Requirements:
((We are looking for other like-minded, or reputable, chartered companies to fill necessary roles in support of these operations, so that we as a whole may provide a reputable position of support throughout PFO.))

The Crimson Elite is searching for like-minded Citizens of the River Kingdoms and beyond to establish the city of New Liberthane as a bastion of fortitude against those who would usurp the personal or industrial freedoms of all races of Golarion.

Specific Requirements for Chartered Companies:
An Adventurers Guild/Catalogers of Lore:
The Order of the Crimson Guard recognizes the need for understanding and lore in these dark times and wishes to extend a hand to any company who wishes to aid the individual adventurer, and will provide shelter to any such organization in New Liberthane.

Rogues Coterie:
The Crimson Elite also recognizes the need for heroes of the people, by allowing sanctioned rogues to seek shelter within the walls of New Liberthane we will remain just in our verdict and maintain punishments that fit the crime. It is the best interest of those of the aforementioned coterie to recognize the laws of New Liberthane so that they may maintain a reputation of good standing among the people.

Trader's Union:
The Crimson Elite wish to promote the philosophies of trade and extend a hand towards any trade union that would deal with the Crimson Guard.

Nondescript Chartered Companies:
The Crimson Elite have deemed it acceptable to allow all organizations with a reputation in good standing with the people to seek sanctuary within the walls of New Liberthane. All Organizations that follow the laws of New Liberthane will be permitted to run operations on a probationary visa for one fortnight before seeking permanent acceptance by way of sponsorship from the city council. Once fully accepted, an organization can only be expelled by a vote of 2/3 by the Council of New Liberthane.

Individuals:
Any individuals not affiliated with a preexisting organization may seek refuge or business within the walls of New Liberthane. Individuals who remain unaffiliated with an organization after one fortnight will be granted the same privileges as a rank one Union member.

The gates of New Liberthane remain open for those affiliated with any organization currently at peace with the city.

Registration of a Chartered Company:
Step 1: Have your Guild Leader contact either Crimson Commander: Deacon Wulf or Crimson Elite: Sheherazad. Alternatively you may send a representative to register an account at http://crimsonguard.boards.net/ and post an application for your chartered company for review. And as a final alternative you may reply directly to this thread with your application.
Step 2: Once your application has been reviewed either the Crimson Commander, or one of the Crimson Elite will contact you with the status of your application.
Step 3: If accepted you may select one individual from your your chartered company to be the city council representative. This individual will vote on behalf of your organization in any city matters. In addition all members of your organization will gain citizenship within New Liberthane. Citizens gain all of the privileges of a rank 1 Union Member.

Registration of an Individual:
Step 1: Contact either Crimson Commander: Deacon Wulf or Crimson Elite: Sheherazad. Alternatively you may register an account at http://crimsonguard.boards.net/ and post an application for citizenship or sanctuary. As a final alternative you may reply directly to this thread with your application.
Step 2: Once your application has been reviewed one of the City council members will contact you with the status of your application.
Step 3: If accepted for Sanctuary, you may spend up to 31 days within our city walls under the protection of The Bulwark before submitting a request to the council for extension or action. ((Individuals only qualify for Sanctuary if their organization is at war)) If accepted for citizenship you will gain all privileges of a rank 1 Union Member.

Also, or Forum Board is back online @ http://crimsonguard.boards.net/
it is a little rough at the moment but it is a good way to get ahold of us.

I would also like to make a note, that Alignment Axis is very subjective for our charter, if you do want an evil character that adheres to the rules, we may be able to work something out, as long as you understand the impact of your actions and decision.

Greetings from the Crimson Commander.
I wanted to update the progress of our Charter and explain our current milestone. As it stands we are in the second milestone, guild recruitment as well as establishment of policies. As a portion of this milestone we are attempting to gather 20 pledges and fill the 12 positions of the Tribunal. For more information on the Tribunal you can visit our message-boards and look under the topic The Basics.

The Tribunal is currently 6/12 and we are seeking individuals that wish to be part of the leadership of our order. ((The process is simple as it just requires the individual to drop an application on our message boards as if he were attempting to apply for an officer position. At that point we will schedule a voice meeting over Dolby Axon or another medium.))

As for pledges we are currently 8/20 are are seeking more to fill the ranks of the Crimson Guard. ((There are multiple ways to pledge to the Crimson Guard in this stage of recruitment.You can contact either Crimson Commander: Deacon Wulf or Crimson Elite: Sheherazad. Alternatively you may register an account at http://crimsonguard.boards.net/ and post an application. As a final alternative you may reply directly to this thread with your application.))

Things are changing in Crimson Territory and as part of our latest update you can review out policies at http://crimsonguard.boards.net/ under The Basics.

At this time I would also like to post the brainchild of the members of our organization. We have restructured the Order of the Crimson Guard.

An update to our Milestone:
We are still looking for those last few leaders to flesh out our leadership, and our membership pledges are continuing to grow.

The majority of our leadership are veterans in other MMOs with experience ranging from Shadowbane, EQ 1&2, WoW, EVE, and other MMORPGs, to non RPG styled MMOs such as League of Legends and Smite.

We are also looking for a non leadership position House Bloodwulf member to help run and manage our guildportal website. It is currently under construction by a novice and we are using our message boards as the primary means of mass dissemination of information. If we can land a guru in website management, some in our order have discussed the purchase of a domain name and having a more official website.

Voice Chat Update:
Although we currently use Dolby Axon as our main voice chat program at the moment, we are discussing the possibility of obtaining a teamspeak or ventrillo server for the Order's use.

Getting involved with the members:
Right now a majority of our organization members are staying connected through many games and activities. You can contact us on our message boards and get involved with the Crimson Guard. We look forward to playing with you.

Recruitment Milestone Completion:
House Bloodwulf: 7/12
Pledges to the Order: 15/20

For any questions or to request membership for your charter company or as an individual please refer to

My egocentric nature finds it flattering that you would name your house in my honor.

I also welcome you and your company to the PFO community. I'm certain we will have many interactions in game.

Do you plan to pursue these goals in a mostly insular fashion, only protecting what's yours, or do you plan to actively engage with other groups outside your territory in the pursuit of these goals?

As we reach individual milestones our AOI(area of influence) will increase allowing us to increase our "protective umbrella" if you will.

We will operate on contract services to offer protection to areas or individuals under other organization's control.

Active protection will take place within our AO(Area of Operations), with QRFs(Quick Reaction Forces) responsible for our AOI.

You may want to review our restructure on our message-boards for more information.

I welcome you (as late of a welcome as it is :D) from The Bloody Hand. I look forward into the "bumping" into each other that will happen, and I wish you the best of luck in your goals!

Goblin Squad Member

Stopping by to drop off an announcement:
We have completed our second milestone ahead of schedule and will be pushing forward for the completion of our next milestone by 1 DEC 13.

We have met our first recruitment milestone and will be driving ahead with our new membership base. Our next recruitment milestone is more in depth and will be announced at a later time.

You can contact me or visit our website if you would like your charter company to join our organization or if you as an individual would like to join one of the companies of the Order.

Coming soon:
We will be making an announcement pretty soon that I hope will delight the community as well as announce the next big steps for the Crimson Guard.

Goblin Squad Member

There has been a bit of a hick-up in our next step, but the issue is resolved and major progress is being pushed through. Hopefully by the end of the day we will be able to push out that announcement.

Somethings that we are looking at currently:
If you are a guild charter pledge level and would like to be part of our community you can contact me or Sheherazad to work out the mechanics, or you can stop by our forums and drop an application.

We are no longer accepting individual applications until we have successfully screened the ones we have currently, but exceptions can/will be made for individuals with leadership experience in real life or in previous games.

**Also, in keeping with our style, we are extending an exception to all veterans and current military personnel that wish to be involved in our community.**

This comes from another thread, so please put it into the intended context:

Edit:

I should also like to add that, in the same way that the Treaty of Rovagug was proposed to address the concerns of an "Outside Entity" coming into PFO and ruining the game for all of us. Some of the smaller, more fringe companies (particularly CN, CE, Outlaws, etc) have an equal interest in knowing what the larger settlements have in store for our play style. The fact that these questions are being sent first to TEO are not just because TEO is apparently the largest company, but their stated goals are to in some way curtail our activities.

I would have the same questions for:

Pax Aeternum
Seventh Veil

TEO August 2nd Meeting Agenda

Any CG members would be welcome to attend. Your input would be particularly valuable when we begin discussing our diplomatic status with the CG.
