The Red Knights of Cattagia [Organization]

The Red Knights of Cattagia are an elite force that operates arround the whole mainland, their sole objective is to keep peace arround the nations, they were created secretly after Cattagia was introduced to the world council and high officials in said council became cattagians. The knights are considered the royal guard of Cattagia, as well as the defenders of the council, in peace times, they escort diplomats and consuls. In case of a war, the knights will try to aid the civilians affected by the war, bringing food and the like, as well as tending the wounded. According to the declaration of rules of war signed by all nations, the nations, in case of a war, will not attack the red knights during aiding such as tending wounded from all nations, or helping civilians.

The Discovery of Heonia: A Changing point in the organization and the discovery of the arcane material.

After the discovery of Heonia and this, the arrival of Excedia to the island, the word spread out quickly towards the organization. In fear that the excedians use this new material for warlike purposes, the organization decided to organize an operation in which they would seize part of the arcane material from the excedians. After recieving an order from the council to do so, they took from the excedian camp a small ammount of arcane material to conduct experiments on it. The only ones aware from this movement, however, are some heads of the council, the red knights and the Cattagian government.

After various experiments, the Red Knights managed to create a really limited number of artifacts, that are the symbol used in all the high ranks, The Runic Rings of Telum, as well as the creation of the Gyin Rune, used in the creation of these rings. This discovery sparked a new revolution in the organization, creating a new objective, recover artifacts from the island of Heonia as well as the further study of this material and the magical properties of the island.

Organization and Ranks

The Organization is led by the highest rank knight, who's title is the "Seer" This doesn't mean he can see the future, however, the name of the title has to do with the term being used as the leader should behave, he is in charge and takes the decissions on the organization's moves, and thus, he must take the decissions that would do best for keeping the organization's objective, making him seem like if he read the future.



From here, the organization roots from the different ranks only from the higher part, these being all numbers, 2,3,4,5, all the way to 10. After this, the ranks go to officers, soldiers and squires.

Next to the number, however, there's a title to go, there can be more than one with the same title, and the titles are normally are what the person behind the helmet masters, Cavaliers are known as cavalry, Archers, Sailors, Swordmen, Brawlers (They use a special spiked glove to fight), etc.

A title that is hard to achieve, however, is the "Jack" Which are a special force that has the hability to take on any type of weapon.

Terms, Selectivity and Influence

The Red Knights are a secretive organization, all of the members' identity is hidden completelly from the public, but are kept in a special archive. This is just for the sake of their member's safety.

Even though the Red knights is a cattagian organization, people from other nationalities can join them, however, all of the people that attempt to join must be recommended by someone inside the organization.

To join, the apprentice must proove himself worthy for such, being tested against some knights and the like, as well as being done a moral evaluation. after such, the apprentice, if passing this tests, must make a ritual in which they dedicate their loyalty towards the organization, and thus, also Cattagia, in the case of a serious emergency.

When it comes to terms, the knights use "Brother/sister" whenever they talk to an equal rank, "Sir" is used on higher ranks, specially high Ranks, and between numbers, they ussually reffer each others as their number, except the seer, who is ussually refferred as "Seer" or "Grand Seer".

When it comes to influence, the red knights have small influence on all the governments, they only have the biggest influence in cattagia, due to the fact that, peacekeepers or not, the soldiers still are a line of defense in the unlikely posibility of cattagia getting under attack (This will only occur, as it states on their codex of behavior, if Cattagia itself has not started the conflict), however, they do have the favor of the world council, given the fact they act as guards of it, escorting Diplomats, councelors, etc. Overall, their influence is small

Uniforms

The red knights ussually wear a full helmet, as well as red clothings on it to adornish it, they tend to have hoods to cover the helmets and their armor tends to be as full as possible, on the plates there's always engraved the symbol of the organization.
