I am Ranion, and I am one of the many who come here from the post on imgur. Naturally as soon as I found out about Chronicles of Elyria I rallied my ragtag band of merry men and set course for Elyria.
The Order of the Blue Rose is a guild at heart, but community by nature. The goal of the Blue Rose is to provide for the community, handle any food shortages, provide necessary services, and above all else, to serve and protect those in need. This ideal comes with a particular plight that is unpopular to many. That magic should be monitored. Now hear me out, this does not mean that magic should be shut out and those wielding it should be executed, quite the contrary really. Magic should be embraced, all forms of it, wherever it falls on the spectrum, however, this being said, we all know that magic can be an unwieldy beast that rears it head when we least expect it. Magic is a tool to be used, but an tool that should, nevertheless, be used with caution. The Blue Rose hopes to watch for the dangers of magic, so that no man or woman should become so powerful that their anger could level the land itself. Magic is something to take pride in, not something to be feared for.
My merry band of men and women is already a dozen strong, and we hope to gather as many more for our motley crew as we can. We are a kind people, who only wish for the good of the realm, at any costs. We wish to lay down our time, and lives if need be to better the realm for others, for our families, for our friends, for brothers-in-arms, for strangers, we hold to no creed other than our own, and our own creed is to aid those in need.
The Order of the Blue Rose draws a touch from Dragon Age mythos, the Chantry wanted to do what was right, but in the end they couldn't see past their objective, they couldn't reason, they couldn't aid those that needed it most, apostate or not. This is where our similarities fall off. The Chantry wanted to imprison mages and to shut out magic, the Blue Rose wishes for no such thing, only to keep those without magic safe from those who would use their own magic to harm others.
Joining the Order of the Blue Rose is simple, if you wish to better the land through hard work, fair trade, and respect for those around you, look no further. If you wish to be a brother or sister-in-arms pm me, all that is required is your intended IGN, what you wish to do in the order, what you hope the order can do for you, and some form of contact information (i.e. Skype, E-mail, etc.) or just drop a message on our Discord.
