Requirements to Join

In order to be accepted by the Order of Saint Michel a supplicant must vow to hold true to the demanding code of the Order. Should a member fail to uphold the code they will be asked to leave the Order. Furthermore the Order will not accept as a member anyone who has a connection with the Evil Sphere or who uses Items of Evil Power. Members of the Order may not learn the skills Sneak Attack or Throatslit under any circumstances as these skills have been deemed dishonourable.

Tenets of the Order and its Code of Chivalry

  • Work to provide a safe place for the people of the White Retreat and their Allies
  • Discipline in all aspects of life
  • Oppose the Evil Sphere and its followers
  • Respect for all Peers and equals
  • Honour to all above your station
  • Military prowess exercised in service to your Order
  • Never betray your word of Honour
  • Defence of any charge to the utmost
  • No honour in attacking an unarmed opponent (this does not include one disarmed during combat)
  • Death before dishonour
  • Reveal your Order to those who might understand the import
  • Receive and give hospitality to other Knights
  • Avoid war/opposition becoming a personal vendetta whenever possible even, in conflict we can have respect for our foes.
  • Obey the codes of war amongst the Chivalric (things like the release of bodies after death, granting ransom, single combat offers most honour.)
Words to Live by:
Honour, Bravery, Pride, Good Faith, Respect, Skill at arms, Glory, Courtesy.

Members of the Marshall Orders take a vow not to imbibe alcholoic liquor at any time other than a designated feast day.
