The Goldlight Order

=2135 AC=

Sixty one years, of The Order at work since its "official" founding.

And thirty eight, since Martyrs´ Vigil endured its first founding.

The Order marches on, to make it to a hundred.

To weather through the oncoming storm.

To Endure

---

A Shift in Ranks:

• All prior Knight-Captains have welcomed retirement, for their valiant service.  An honorable discharge and leave, granted after years of duty.
  
• A New Knight-Captain has been assigned to the Logistics and Support Wing, through the promotion of Tandava Meanderdog. Pending the assignment of a War-Captain, she has also taken charge of the Militant Wing and its operations.
  
• Additional Knight-Sergeants are in the process of being selected and promoted, to maintain the stalwart and binding link of the Chain-Of-Command.
  

Adaptive Reforms:

• The Rank of War-Captain has been replaced with that of the Warden-Castellan, with a shift in duties and focus. In honor of The Order´s oldest allies, the title of Lord-Warden is not utilized as an official honorific for the holder of the position, due to its common ties to Athelios himself, and instead, Lord-Castellan and its alternatives are preferred.
   The title of War-Captain, for the Knight-Captain of the Militant Wing, still remains. 
  
• The Order, through its Vigilant Tribunal, has earned a Patron of choice. Worship or induction is not mandatory, as the matter remains strictly personal, yet a preference is visible towards the more popular options from The Tribunal or the Asperan Church, especially for the former.
  

The Cadet Program:

• With war-time policy in effect, and higher standards to be maintained even in the face of danger, the Cadet Program has been established, for any volunteers to be inducted. Any volunteer under the age of Sixteen shall remain within the Program till they are of age, while those at the enlistment age, or older, will see a shorter stay within this trial period, till they are elevated to full members of The Guard.
  
• With this new initiative, the standard Ward education provided by the Tribunal shall include the Cadet Program as an optional "class" for their curriculum, for those seeking to advance into service post-graduation.

With the oncoming Atrellyan Invasion, and a siege upon the nearest occupied island of the Protectorate of Fortune, the Order summons its enlisted volunteers to convene, so that more orders may be issued, and a defense may be properly organized.
