Crimson Edict

The Crimson Edict (also sometimes referred to as "The Edict") is an organization originally dating from Asulon with the purpose of ending slavery, racism, and oppression. Their methods for doing such can vary substantially for the given situation and can range from teaching things such as trades, academics, and medical training, to aiding victims by providing them sanctuary or medical assistance, or may outright fight oppressors in various ways.

The Edict is considered a brotherhood, and thus the utmost importance to the Edict is loyalty to each other, even after death. When joining the Edict, one is required to take an oath for life swearing this loyalty. Due to this loyalty, they honor the dead former members of the Edict almost religiously, so much so that they often have shrines and other memorials to them, and the Oath is done before one of these shrines to represent the "witness of the Honored Dead".

They are currently vassals of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan and are an auxiliary military to the Legion of Urguan, though their function isn't entirely martial.

History

brief description of the origin of the order

Purpose

The main purpose of the Edict is to end slavery, racism, and oppression, or at least aide those who are currently suffering under such woes. The methods are variant to the situation. Currently, the Edict offers sanctuary to any runaway slaves, whitewash orcs, half-breeds that have no nation, et cetera, and will provide teaching, rehabilitation, and resources if needed. They also teach non-magical medicine and other academics. However, they have been known to attack oppressors, slavers, and racists directly or indirectly as well. They are not above kidnap, torture, and execution as methods.

Command

The Edict is run as a series of cells called "hafnas", each answering to a different Hersir. The Hersirs in turn answer to the upper-command of the guild.

Positions

Officers
