Tier-2 Command Staff

Intro
Tier-2 is a unique station for command staff members. Simply speaking, tier-2 members are some of the most powerful Verditians in the Empire and have a right to design their own standards according to title. As such each title holds differing rank rights concerning garb standards: 
Title 	Special Cloak 	Special Garb Policy	Special Armor Policy	Special Insignia
Fourth Guardian Marshal 	Red Cloak 	Red Garb 	Red Armor 	
Grand Inquisitor 	Black Cloak, Red Interior	 	 	
Foundation fabric may use decorative red prints	Tigers 	 	 	
Warlord General 	Black Cloak 	 	 	
Gold Armor 	Phoenix and Kanji 	 	 	
This tier of command staff is often the head of a high-functioning branch.
Additional Info:
* Only subject to the authority of the Verditian Lord
* Appointed through the Verditian Lord
* Allowed to wear a Gold Antioch symbol
* Minimal rank of Vanguard required to hold position
* Tier-2 decorate their rank chain by adding an alternating red and gold ring for every 5 black rings.
* Inquisitors retain all the samurai armor exceptions given to Taichou, where they can utilize gold colored grommets and other findings.
Holding a Tier-2 title adds 2 to authority level .

How to become Tier-2
Tier-2 Command members are appointed through major merits within the Empire. Verditians of this status pushed Empire standards and often are responsible for spawning golden ages. By the time a Verditian becomes a Tier-2 command member, there is no doubt of their worthiness to lead.
* Required to own elite level garb regardless of combat rank.
* Required to wear elite level garb at least 50% of the time they are attending any Verdish event.
* Required to attend at least 50% of official practices (once a week when concerning multiple practice days).
* Required to be easily contactable for questions outside of Verdish events by standard members.
* Expected to attempt to generate additional growth for the empire.
Misc.
# Much of the wiki refers to "Taichou and above", this statement includes all Gold-Antioch symbol wearing command members: Fourth Guardian Taichou, Generals, Inquisitors, Tier-2, and the Verditian Lord.
# In the past there were additional Tier-2 ranks, namely 'Verdish Command' and 'The High Priest of Kelm'. Both have become defunct as the member who held them is no longer active.
