Quest 1:
A New Cadet...
- To become a cadet the young warrior needs to find a sponsor.
- The sponsor will be a Defender(plus)... (access to our armory).
- The sponsor will supply the cadet with the starting pack (or more).
- The sponsor will supply the Torm's Watch.
- The sponsor will ask the cadet to post his characters(ooc).

Quest 2:
Choices and Consequences...
- To become a FaithBlade the cadet needs to train his skills.
- After most skills are trained the cadet can request a Baptism of Fire.
- The sponsor then decides on the right Challenge...
(#1- Baptism of Fire Quests... open discussion)
- Once the cadet overcomes the challenge he becomes a FaithBlade.
- The Cadet then becomes a full TormTar (GuildMember)
(#2- GuildMembers acess to HQs... give Rune)
- The Cadet learns the...

Equipment Description Mainstays:
1.Clean armor (includes: arm wear, head wear, foot wear, leg wear, body wear) made from quality materials and with color denoting current rank.
2.Facewear may be visor of appropriate color only.
3.All attire must be kept neat, clean, and in perfect condition. Repairs and replacements are needed regularly.
4.Founders may have "named" weapons, but no two names may be the same.
5.The appropriate badge, color of which also denotes current rank. Tormtar are expected to wear helms that dont block eye sight, if they choose to wear face wear;

No eye covering will be accepted. No exceptions will be made.

Quest 3:
The Straight and the Narrow...
- This Quest is directed to the Core of the TormTar.
- This Quest will temper his new skills with wisdom.
- It is a Journey... and a Destiny.

And it goes like this...
- The FaithBlade learns the Code.

Code of ChivalryLoyalty: Faithfulness, allegiance, and commitment to the people, ideals, and values that dictate the way in which a knight lives his life. Loyalty can never be compromised for any reason.
Courage: A strong quality of mind that enables a knight to face danger with great confidence and resolution. However, a knight must also seek wisdom so as to understand that being overly brave can lead to stupidity.
Justice: Maintaining a moral principle of right over wrong. A knight should always seek the direction of truth while always remembering to practice "justice tempered with mercy."
Prowess: To always move in the direction of excellence. Knights must always perform every action with total effort in the quest for superiority in strength and mind.
Faith: A return to loyalty and a strong sense of values and beliefs. Faith creates hope against despair that can be caused by human emotions.
Nobility: A Knight must always build strong character through faith, loyalty, and integrity. Age, by means of wisdom and experience, ennobles the mind and character.
Generosity: Always willing to give of one's self what one can afford. The opposite of selfishness, generosity allows for a better understanding of the concept "justice tempered with mercy."
Humility: While striving for perfection and superiority, a knight, must first value the contributions of others and not boast of personal accomplishment. A knight is almost always one of many and must remain loyal with and aid his brothers in arms.


- The FaithBlade will then visit Trinsic and spend some time learning more about the "Old Ways". Some TormTars found out that spending a few months serving the Empire would bring great knowledge.
- The FaithBlade will then travel to New Haven where he will explore and learn its secrets(quests) and the town villagers... so he can provide guidance if that is requested.

- To become a Warden the TormTar should be able to defeat all EVIL in the Island.
- The TormTar must be a grand master...
- Once the TormTar has both martial prowess and inner wisdom he should travel to any Ilshenar Gypsy Camp... and find out more about himself... and learn which virtue will guide him...
