Description

The Ebon Order are not the best fighters on the field, nor the best crafters of weapons and armour, but we will be, with a strong emphasis on self-improvement both martially and in the sciences of Amtgard.

Holding a high standard for our own members, the Ebon Order has had several internal positions historically: Patricians are full-fledged members of the Order, while others are more specific, such as the Magistrate, which is a lieutenant position in the Order in charge of encouraging the arts and sciences, the Praetor, which is a lieutenant position in charge of encouraging the fighting arts, and the Archon, the leader of the Order.

In order to join the Ebon Order, one must approach a member of the Order to petition to join, or be approached by a member of the Order and invited. The petitioning member will then be watched closely by Order members and a vote will be held at an appropriate time, once enough information has been gathered.

Addendum

Ebon Order. Height: the moral high ground. Weight: the knowledge of good and evil.
