Suggested Criteria

example template by Alona Twotrees

By an unknown, possiably Wetlander author. Order of the Rose

Qualification for Masterhood: 10 Orders of the Rose

Given by: the Crown - Monarch, Regent (to 9th), Grand Duke/Duchess (to 9th), Duke/Duchess (to 7th), Baron (ess) (to 4th)

Given for: beneficial service to the club, (Heraldry: devices, rose, Sages: corpora/reeves test, debate,) The following are for the minimum qualifications to get that number of Roses.

Limitations: None, however a minimum of 10 of this order are needed to qualify for Masterhood.

Belt favor: Burgundy belt favors with a white border and diagonal mark across the bottom. Masterhood will be denoted by a gold braid or ribbon down the middle.

SUGGESTED criteria: All criteria listed here are just that, 'suggested'. They are BY NO MEANS requirements. This Monarch's Handbook is NOT intended to be a barrier between DESERVING individuals and their just rewards; rather, it is intended as a guideline for groups to use for rewarding their populace. If it can be generally agreed that a person deserves a certain award, even if they may not quite pass muster by the letter of This Monarch's Handbook, then they should probably get the award anyway.

Number of awards, Criteria, (not to be confused with who can give them, refer to "given by" for that information)

1st Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Barony or Shire. Such as successfully completing an office for their group or for excellent role-playing that inspires others to join in.

2nd Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 1st Rose. Such as providing Water Bearer services for their park successfully.

3rd Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 2nd Rose. Such as making loaner garb or weapons for their park successfully.

4th Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Duchy, Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 3rd Rose. Such as writing a quest for their park, or placing 3rd in a Rose competition in their resident Barony or Shire that has fulfilled the minimum number of required categories and achieving the minimum required scores.

5th Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Duchy, Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 4th Rose. Such as successfully organizing local level qualifications for their park, or placing 2nd in a Rose Competition criterion that has fulfilled the minimum number of required categories and achieving the minimum required scores.

Example of an Order of the Rose from the Burning Lands circa 1985

6th Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Grand Duchy, Duchy, Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 5th Rose that warrants the attention of the Crown. Such as making and donating banners, or placing 1st in their resident Duchy level or higher level Rose Competition criterion that has fulfilled the minimum number of required categories and achieving the minimum required scores. Volunteering their services selflessly for whatever purpose is needed to better their resident Kingdom, or Grand Duchy.

7th Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Grand Duchy, Duchy, Barony or Shire and who already has achieved the criteria for the 6th Rose that warrants the attention of the Crown. Such as making and donating regalia, and placing 1st in their resident Kingdom level Rose Competition criterion that has fulfilled the minimum number of required categories and achieving the minimum required scores. Volunteering their services selflessly for whatever purpose is needed to better their resident Kingdom, or Grand Duchy.

Such as doing drudge type work at a several kingdom level events happily and selflessly. Volunteering their services selflessly for whatever purpose is needed to better their resident Kingdom, or Grand Duchy.

10th+ Someone who has displayed service talents or equivalent competition criteria in their Resident Kingdom or Grand Duchy and who already has achieved the criteria for the 9th Rose that warrants the attention of the Crown. Such as creating a system that revolutionizes an aspect of Amtgard, donation of supplies, research, time, space, and resources for the successful running of several Kingdom or Inter- Kingdom level events, organizing efforts to better recognize Amtgard in the eyes of the surrounding community.

Note: The higher the level, the harder it is to achieve more orders of the Rose. No one has ever achieved Master of the Rose status (10th level or higher) without a great deal of self-sacrifice of time, money, sanity, and sometimes friendships. Masterhood is granted once all the criteria has been fulfilled and the Monarch feels that nothing else is required. In the instance where awards have been garnered from another Chapter it will be up to the discretion of the Monarch with input from the Masters of the Rose to decide if additional criteria is required.
