Bannerfolk – Brotherhood of the Everflame

Concept Introduction

(OOC: Personally and usually I write out an entire concept at one go. Which comes out too big or daunting for others to get involved in. This time I did nothing different. But instead of having a complete story line ready. I decided to work it out in phases. And each phase requiring certain milestones to be achieved. Think about a certain amount of active members, active for consecutive days. Shrines placed, alliances made and so it continues.)

The Main Story

As it stands now, the Chandler, Damar, is gathering a small group of like minded people who seek to do good in the world. Currently he is busy melting, infusing and creating candles that keep the darkness and shadows at bay. It will be their sole purpose to make shrines along paths and roads that are deemed not safe. Often these kind of groups are branded as cultists or zealots. And I can not say that it does not appear like that in the slightest. But the main drive is a philosophy rather than a religion or holy creed. Therefore the Chandler is writing a scripture rather then a doctrine or stone tablet with commandments. These words are the drive behind the Fellowship.

About the Phases

As mentioned before, there are phases that eventually complete the entire concept. Each phase introduces new ranks, branches and purposes. The last phase will be written more like an templars Order, just to keep such in mind going forth.

Current Ranks

Phase 1 - Ranks

The current phase we are in, is the founding phase. Which means there is no actual need for a multitude of ranks, roles and positions. That's why we keep it simple for now. There are no wings, yet. That may come at a later phase if such is needed.

Leadership

Custodian Reveal Charge

Keeper of the whole Fellowship. The Custodian holds the Bannerfolk together and tends its flame, guiding its people and safeguarding all they stand for.

Members

Ember Reveal Charge

A settled member, past their first uncertain days. Embers have found their footing and burn steady among the Bannerfolk.

Newcomer

Petitioner Reveal Charge

Those at the door. Petitioners have asked to join the Bannerfolk and wait to see where they belong.

The Everflame Scripture

Philosophy of the Everflame

This is not a doctrine that is to be enforced. It is not a stone of commandments. This is a personal philosophy named the Everflame. Any who wishes to follow are welcome. None is forced or kept.

On the Road

I did not set out to build anything. I set out to walk, and to bring what I could carry. The need moves, so we move with it. That is the whole of it. If you are looking for a grand reason, I do not have one. There is a road, and there are people on it, and some of them are cold.

On the Shrines

We leave a candle on a stone. That is all a shrine is. A flat stone, the mark of the flame, and a light someone thought to leave burning. It says a simple thing to whoever passes. You are not the first down this road, and someone before you wished you well. Keep it lit if you can. If you cannot, leave it be. Another will come.

On Those Who Carry Steel

Some among us carry steel, and I do not ask them to set it down out on the road. The road is not always kind, and a candle does not stop a blade. But at the Chandlery the steel stays at the door. I will not have this be a place where anyone flinches. Protect people out there. In here, let them rest.

On What Lasts

A candle does not last. That is not its failing, it is its purpose. It gives what it has, and then it is gone, and for a while afterward the room is still warm. Do the work like that. Not to be remembered. Do it well, and let the warmth outlast you. That is the most any of us manages, and it is enough.
