[Guild] Imperial Guard

[Sangwa]

Introduction
The Empire's dedication to the martial fields has been stern and objective over the times. Draklar and Setill, former Warlords of the Dark Empire, left for us to inherit a set of examples in leadership, tactic and skill.
Even today the Empire holds true to its military functions, through the Imperial Guard, a Guild created to protect the Dark Empire's brethren and their ambitions.

Structure
The Imperial Guard has a solid structure, in order to allow a competent commandeering of its units.
After surpassing a trial phase as recruits, members are designated to occupy active ranks, each with its specific purpose, as you will soon see below.
Leadership within this Guild is determined by Imperial Title, some ranks even requiring a certain tier of command from their occupiers. The Imperial Guard assumes itself as a Company of the Dark Empire's Army, being divided into Platoons, and Squads.


Uniforms & Insignia
Order within the Imperial Guard is vital. Members on duty must be plainly visible as being such, since their actions and will become the Imperial Guard's.
To this extent Imperial Guards are given uniforms, adorned at the chest with insignia that distinguish ranks.


Ranks
Recruits: This rank belongs to those who wish to join the Imperial Guard, but have yet to prove themselves as capable officers.

Mercenaries: These members are not imperialists, therefore forfeiting any leadership within the guild. Their trainning and sustenance is guaranteed by the Empire, as well as luxuries for successful missions.

Enforcers: These valued officers sustain the front lines and take part in any issues requiring close combat intervention.

Artillery: Adepts at ranged combat, Artillery units are expected to provoke casualties on the opposers' side before they have a chance to strike back.

Supplymen: Responsible for supportive chores such as healing, repairing and the transport of supplies, men designated to this task force tend to mobility and tactical issues. Usually a temporary duty for all but the leading multi-guilded individuals within.

Scouts: These agents are required to earn information about the terrain and the opposing force. They must be fast, stealthy and durable individuals. In this rank it is common to witness the presence of both multi-guilded stable members and Shadow Force temporary volunteers.

Tacticians: To occupy this rank one requires the the title of Commander or above. Tacticians, as their name indicates, have the duty of planning out strategies, and controlling the positions of their fellow Imperial Guards.

Special Guard: To occupy this rank one requires the title of Captain or above. The Special Guard is a special task force, its members usually multi-guilded so that they can be present at other Imperial activities in order to protect them. Their leadership and outstanding battle skills make them versatile units, expected to succeed in the most complex of situations.


Discipline & Trainning
Those who are charged with the duty of watching over the Empire's safety must possess a flawless discipline. They must be steady to offer their superiors, or their subordinates, the best of their abilities.
Members are assigned their duties, or freetime, by a Tactician or the highest titled amongst them. These duties usually consist in the following: Patrolling and Trainning.
Those assigned to Patrol duties are expected to walk around in squads, with their weapons close by and their senses keen on their leader's orders.
Recruits and Imperial Guards are trainned daily, from the start of their career to the end of their lives. Besides the regular physical and skill trainnings they are kept on edge with battle drills, marching and duels. They must also be familiar with the Way Of Steel.



Council of Tactics
The Imperial Guard is ran by a Council, headed by the Tacticians. Methods, objectives, trainning and tactical issues are the most common topics discussed at this Council.

Long live the Empire! This guild has looked great for so long but it looks so much better still when it is all put together like that.

[Sangwa]

Hehe, yes, we've made a good job. I've edited the thread to add a link to the Way Of Steel.

[ThomPhoenix]

Well done as usual, Sanwa!

[Garile]

*Smiles*

All four subguilds have been accounted for. Good to see it's all working out great 

[Sangwa]

Hehe, our objectives are close to being met. The Scholars are almost established ingame, and we just need some good members for this one. Then a new saga will begin!

[Ecuetas]

Hail to the Empire. We truly have come a long way in just months of time. This will be interesting to see further ambitions

[Parallo]

Its been bubbling under the surface for a long time actually. I'm sure the idea of spanning out like this came to Sangwa long before we did.

[Sangwa]

Hehe, who cares about the past? All that matters is that the Empire is better than it ever was. We're close to finishing this chapter of the Dark Empire and starting a new one. As soon as we fully implement this guild and the Imperial Scholars, things will start getting even better.

It'll certainly take some time though, as we require good members to join.

[Garile]

hmm well wanting good members sometimes means not taking the shortcuts, but in the end you should get something even better in return

[Sangwa]

I've added the Imperial Guard's logo to the first topic. I think it look awesome. Thank you Jekkar.

Agreed, nice work. 

[Garile]

I love it aswell. To bad we can't force the guards to all use spears

[Phinehas]

Oh but we can...

[Garile]

*laughs*

I somehow feel we should atleast wait untill the spears are actually ingame before starting to force them. There are limits even to my evilness.
