Officers of the Order
The world of the officer is one that consists of duty and honor. The many duties of an officer are dispersed across responsibilities of supervising new recruits, commanding garrisons and frontier outposts, training new cadets, and many other functional duties. In addition to the every day functioning aspects of the Order, though, are the necessary duties of diplomacy, political assuagement, and affairs of state. It is for this reason that officer candidates receive an intense schooling in the formalities of the Imperial Court and instruction in political etiquette.

Equipment
Armor and weapons may be purchased at 75% of normal cost through the Order Armories. The armor listed to the right is the highest grade armor issued via the Order's Armories. If you wish to have a higher grade armor, you will be expected to purchase your armors elsewhere, and without OOS compensation or discount.
In addition to the armor being provided, the officer will be granted an animal companion. This is completely optional, especially if the officer's god does not permit the pairing. When an officer begins to advance in rank sufficient to receive a new mount, the previous mount shall be returned prior to receiving his new mount.
