[NA-W] The Dawnguard of the Haverlands

Background

The Dawnguard is an elite defence force established in the Haverlands, a duchy of the Kingdom of Ashland, over 60 years ago for the purpose of protecting and furthering the interests of the region. It acts as the premier body of security for the duchy, surplus to the standard military forces stationed in the lands.

A knight of the Dawnguard commands and perpetuates respect in everything that they may do. Rigorous training methods and strict discipline are imposed upon all members of the organisation. Weakness in the ranks of the Dawnguard are considered to be weakness in the region as a whole.


Structure

The structure of the Dawnguard follows the below format:

Initiate
  • All members of the Dawnguard start as an Initiate
  • An Initiate becomes a Squire after receiving basic training, and a suitable Knight has selected them to take on the rank
  • Once an Initiate is ready to become a Squire, they swear the Oath of the Dawnguard
Squire
  • A Squire is a member of the Dawnguard that has been paired with a Knight, and has taken the Oath of the Dawnguard
  • A Squire will be entirely trained by their mentoring Knight
  • A Squire becomes a Knight after their mentoring Knight recommends them for promotion to the Knight Commander, and the Knight Commander approves the request
Knight
  • A Knight is a full member of the Dawnguard and reports to the Knight Commander
  • A Knight can only become the Knight Commander once the previous Knight Commander has either died or been removed from the position
Knight Commander
  • The Knight Commander is the highest rank of the Dawnguard
  • The Knight Commander is appointed, and may be dismissed, by the Grand Marshal
  • The Knight Commander reports directly to the Grand Marshal, and commands the forces of the Dawnguard as directed by the Grand Marshal
  • The Knight Commander holds authority to strip a Knight, Squire or Initiate of their title and/or remove them from the Dawnguard

Why enlist in the Dawnguard?

Being a Knight of the Dawnguard is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a title of respect and denotes the very best combat members of our region. A range of PvP play styles are supported and encouraged through the military structure, including extensive RP and leadership opportunities. You will play a central role in the defence and empowerment of the Haverlands, including all the benefits associated with being a citizen of the duchy.

All Knights are guaranteed a customised set of Dawnguard armour and possibly a customised Dawnguard weapon as secured with Duke/Duchess and Weaponmaster pledges. This is a badge of honour that only the most skilled PvP players of the Haverlands may attain.
