The purpose of this thread is to:
Clarify the Edict ranking system
Clarify groups and group structure (Hafnas)
Organize Edict Members by rank and group
Clarify the Edict Chain of Command
Ranks within the Edict:
Senior Ranks:
Baldr
The Baldr (Master) is the supreme commander of the Edict, his/her word is law.
Stýrimaðr
The Stýrimaðr (Captain) is the mate of the Master, he/she is second only to the Master.
Félagi
The Félagi (Companion) is the Master’s most trusted advisor and most senior officer. He/she works directly with the officers and members, reporting directly to the Baldr (or Stýrimaðr in the case that the Baldr is absent).
Officer Ranks:
Hersir
Hersirs lead Hafnas, reporting directly to the senior officers. They oversee the operations and training of their Hafna. Hersirs are the only non-Konungr rank with the
ability to give the oath freely. Hersirs may promote Drengr to Thegns, along with appointing Aesirs within their Hafnas. Hersirs may also recommend
members to be promoted to Radningar.
Radningar
Radningars are junior officers with the role of supporting the Hersirs. They may take temporary control of a Hafna when their Hersir is absent. Radningars may also oversee trainings, helping the Aesirs to keep their men in fighting shape. Radningars may also be given special permission to give the oath, if they are deemed worthy.
Main Ranks:
Aesir
Aesirs are experienced and competent members of the Edict. Hardened by years of tireless service to their oath-kin, they have earned the distinction that comes with their rank. Aesirs act in the same manner of an NCO, commanding a small team of their brothers and sisters. They are responsible for keeping the needs of their teams met; requisitioning weapons and armour, requesting and carrying out trainings in the keep, and more.
Thegn
Thegns are the backbone of the Edict, competent warriors and accomplished professionals. They report to their Aesirs or Radningars. Thegns are encouraged to mentor the Drengr, teaching them the ways of the Edict.
Drengr
The Drengr are the initiates of the Edict, inducted members who have yet to earn their stripes among our ranks. Drengr are encouraged to seek knowledge of the Edict from more experienced members.
Group System:
Hafnas are units of Edict members comprised of members of all professions. They are lead by a Hersir, who is generally supported by a Radningar.
Fyrds are small teams of combatant Edict members. Lead by an Aesir, they are units within Hafnas.
The Konungr is the governing body of the Edict. The Konungr is made up of the Baldr, his/her mate, and his/her most senior officer.
Edict Chain of Command:
Baldr > Stýrimaðr > Félagi > Hersir > Radningar > Aesir > Thegn > Drengr
