Angelica Clerica

[NA East] Kingdom of Bordweall

Join the Angelica Clerica Guild Discord Here

Angelica Clerica is a religiously focused group of healers and defenders. We act as protectors for the weak and heal those who are hurt in the name of Angelica who created light and was the beginning of creation. It is the fact that our deity is the creator of all- or at least the beginning of creation that we seek to maintain and preserve what she created. As a result, we defend, heal, and aid those in need.

What do we do?

Angelica Clerica will do four main tasks

• Defend local areas and help keep the peace / preserve order
• Fight in battles if extra solders are needed or combat is called for but only in the case of defending, never for invading.
• Heal those who are hurt anywhere they may be.
• Travel the roadways at night from Abby checkpoint to the next abbey, guiding travelers to the closest safe abbey to their destination where they can resupply and have a safe place to sleep.
• Hunt spawn of darkness such as demons.
• Help guide merchants to their destination and defend them from thieves.

The key is protect and maintain the light which is good as we must put it on a figurative pedestal. Honor means nothing when an innocent life is lost.

What Do We Believe in Regarding Angelica?

The guild has a religious side as we pray frequently to the goddess Angelica. This is not just to give thanks to Angelica but in the hopes that we may be blessed by her to help in our future endeavors. We view the light as something humans cannot live without and if it were to disappear both literally and metaphorically humanity would disappear too. We view the light as both the warmth from the sun which lets us see, as well as a protector from the night. In the same sense, we see light in the hearts of people as the driving force of good as well as the thing that keeps them from doing evil as well as it keeps the darkness out of our hearts.

We pray that we may always have light in our hearts no matter what happens to us, and that all people around us never lose that light.

We have five rules in our Code:

Where Will We Be stationed?

Roles and Ranks

Guardians (knights)

• Grand Herald:

  A leader of the areas members and a direct speaker to nobility in the area. This position does not require combat skills but more so leadership skills

• Herald:

  A leader of a small group under the supervision of the Grand Herald. It involves commanding and sending members out to different places, organizing them on a more micro level than the Grand Herald could. Giving speeches as a representative of that given creed (group he commands) and going on missions as well though usual only within the surrounding area.

• Warden:

  A male only rank, the role of a Warden is to act as the ultimate offensive weapon in the event more combat seems inevitable. They always wield two handed swords and use their great strength and guidance of the light to punish their foes into submission.

• Seraph:

  The most common rank but the most important one. These warriors act as guardians and protectors. They patrol the streets, protect roads, and defeat evil when they see it. This position is crucial to aiding the Practitioners and others while danger is about. Seraph are always armed (unless disarmed otherwise) with a shield and sword or ax.

• Shield Maiden:

  A female only position. These women defend all from danger with a shield and mace. They usually have less combat skill compared to Seraph but often are trained well in first aid, able to be a temporary aid until a Southe can arrive which can be the difference between life and death. Shield Maidens fight with a shield and mace or other blunt one handed weapon.

practitioners (healers)

• Grand Luminary:

  The head of the Practitioner branch and of equal standing to the Grand Herald. She helps guide the order to the right path while cooperating with the Grand Herald in diplomatic matters.

• Luminary:

  A member who focuses on the connection to Angelica, often chosen out of the most righteous of members and given the role of both healer and moral counselor of light. They are known for their wisdom and often help give other members insight. They do journey but not to as dangerous areas as Southe or Seraph.

• Soothe:

  A group comprised of non combat focused members, these masters of first aid often help those who have been hurt in battle. It is a role which can be very dangerous but come with a lot of feeling of self worth while in the act of saving lives. They learn to use staffs as weapons, while two handing certainly, but not large swords like the Warden.

Trainees

• Noble Light:

  A child or early teen who is being taught combat by a sheild sister or Herald. This position is equivalent to a squire.

• Gentle Light:

  A child or early teen who is being taught first aid by a Southe or Luminary.

What is the Plan for the Order?

The order will have its first headquarders stationed in the royal city within the duchy of Bloodoak. Once a proper main building is set up, we shall branch out. Within specific spots along main roads, abbeys will be set up. These abbeys will act as both fortified bases with a few uses.

About Abbys

-Safe fortified buildings for travelers to come and sleep or take a break in a safe place. (This will also act as a safe place for people to log off and know their opc is safe from harm).

-A place to keep our many order members to both rest and train the child members.

-A place to also house trade outposts for both the access to goods as well as a place for the trade outpost to safely stay out of reach of thieves, a mutual benefit.

-A place to worship Angelica and spread her word to those who visit.

-Abbeys will also be used to hold homeless children in the event a player is very young and has no family, thus helping ensure their survival to adult hood, teaching them skills in combat so that once they leave, they may join the order or feel confident leaving on their own.

Is this Group for Me?

If you enjoy Playing as Clerics or Paladins in mmorpgs, this is the group for you. We embody everything that those type of players stand for. We will be the type of people who when others see us in the wilderness or on the roads, they know they can trust us to help them or aid them in their journey. Our order will strive to be recognized as a group whom anyone can come to for help without the fear of abandonment. You will never be alone in the dark when there is a light always being shined by this order.
