“We march the path of power, unafraid and unshaken by the masses driven before us. We are unbreakable. We shall not be denied. Greatness is our destiny and the glory that comes with the slaughter of the savages who threaten the Duchy of Baxteria will be our ultimate reward” ~ Baleron Vindhlér, Lord of Gödenheim Castle
Gödenheim is interested in having citizens of any and all skills and professions, but in particular the following leading proprietor and commerce roles are needed for our success as our base economic structure will depend upon them.
If you are interested in establishing a business within the city, please contact Count Baleron Vindhlér.
Gödenheim Keep lies at the heart of the castle and is the residence for the noble house as well as the official chambers or offices of the county seat. There are a number of staff positions available for those wishing role-play as well as professional opportunities within the noble house.

We will strive to create ways in which to offer opportunities for professional gain for those taking on castle staff positions whenever possible, for example :
A castle cook could also own a bakery shop within the city so might benefit from using our cooking stations to increase their skills and/or be granted a portion of the goods created for use in the castle as payment for their service that could then be sold in their shop.
A groundskeeper might also own a grocery shop and receive a portion of the produce harvested from the gardens in payment for their service that could then be sold in their shop.
The master of the hunt could also own a tannery and benefit from being able to hunt on castle lands and/or receive the skins obtained during a hunt as payment for their service.
All staff will be provided with servant quarters within the castle or may have the option to receive rent-free land on which to build a home or business.
Anyone interested in a staff position or that might have an idea for a position not listed above, please contact Baleron Vindhlér.
Gödenheim Castle currently has the following organizations with professional roles available for anyone interested in becoming a member. If you are interested in starting a new organization that you believe would fit well into the theme of our city, please contact Baleron Vindhlér.
The Gödenheim Military Academy is the primary location in the county for education, research and training in all Basic Military Skills and Advanced Tribal Combat Specialties. The academy will be a role-play setting, but the skills taught will have professional applications.

Page
Novice rank open to anyone interested in joining the academy to learn basic military knowledge and skills. Pages must complete a “test of fealty” assigned by a Master or the Grand Master of the academy in order to advance beyond this academic rank.
A skill test is an assignment that must be passed at the completion of each academic rank, in addition to mastering any game mechanic threshold requirements to advance military training. The requirements to pass each test will be determined by the Master instructors and/or the Grand Master of the academy. Every skill test will be different for each academic level and may also be different for each student. A test may require a simple demonstration of the knowledge learned such as a “test of skill” or may entail a more complex task or series of tasks to be completed alone or as a group such as a “test of valour” or a “test of faith”.
