The **Fellowship of Kin of the Ferocious Mother of all Dragons** or the **Reyimic Fellowship** in common tongue is a religious military order tasked with the elimination of all evidence of chaotic and evil gods in Sahul. They will hunt down monstrous creatures and burn down temples related to, in their eyes, false gods who only left stains upon the clean lands.

## History

The Reyimic Fellowship was founded in 1274 AD by the dragonborn Ilar the Faithful. It was founded with one simple goal, the eradication of all foul spawns of chaos by the deity Konsulh, as once Reyim tried to accomplish. This has always been a goal of any dragon-kin however now was the time to find a proper military order. The nation of Drazenia was more concerned with internal affairs, while outside of Drazenia there was still chaos to be fought and destroyed. So the order was founded, initially they owned a few castles around the borderlands of Drazenia, towards Hilal. Despite Drazenia's concern for internal affairs they nevertheless supported the Reyimic Fellowship. The Fellowship aligned themselves closely with Drazenia and for a while it was under direct control of Drazenia. However as time passed the Fellowship expanded outside of Drazenia and the influence of the Fellowship grew. In 1380 the order received a more autonomous status from Drazenia. But their greatest success would come in the Sarum War in 1410 when the Fellowship conquered large swats of land from the country Sarum who had fallen under the influence of orcish necromancers from Hilal. After the war construction was started on a new base of operations, the fortress now known as Reyim's Redoubt. Currently in 1498 the Fellowships still has most of its land it conquered in the Sarum War and is considered a minor power within the region. As a the half-elf historian Nilminar said: The Reyimic Fellowship is an army with a nation. The Fellowship and Drazenia are currently have a truce with Hilal.

## Structure

'There is a large overlap between the army structure. However there is still a small distinction nonetheless. First the general structure with the army structure is discussed of the Fellowship, following that will be the much smaller civil structure*.' -* Sora the Curious, dragonborn scribe and historian in her book *Organisational Structure and History of the Fellowship.*

### Army Structure

* **Grand Capitaini**
	+ The leader of the Reyimic Fellowship and holder of Reyim's Redoubt. The Grand Capitaini will lead the soldiers into battle and is considered the most skilled commander and has often the most martial prowess. This position isn't however acquired through brute force (unlike some filthy orcish leadership), the position is an elected one. The Grand Capitaini is chosen by the Capitaini**.** The Capitainiwill usually pick someone from among their own ranks, however this is not required by order rituals and in a few occasions lower ranking soldiers have been chosen to lead the Fellowship.
* **Capitaini**
	+ Each Capitaini is a ruler of a castle owned by the Fellowship. The Capitaini are responsible for electing the Grand Capitaini and commanding division within a grand armée. Capitaini's will make a list of their finest soldiers with the Capitaini Préféré inheriting the title of Capitaini on the dead of the current Capitaini.
* **Capitaini Préféré**
	+ The Capitaini Préféré inherits the title of the Capitaini on their dead. They're the right hand of the Capitaini and will take care of many matters within the castle. The Capitaini Préféré lead division with the Capitaini. Due to their high position they're entrusted with with the closest secrets and perform the most important tasks in name of the Capitaini. The Capitain Préféré is generally picked from among the Adjoints but can also be chosen from a loyal soldier who has proven their worth.

* **Adjoint**
	+ The Adjoint is the most numerous of the higher ranking positions within the organistational structure of the Fellowship. Every Capitaini will have at least a dozen Adjoints under their control. During times of peace the Adjoint will take care of every day tasks around the castle. During times of war they will lead the subdivisions of the armée. The Adjoints are appointed from man who have proven themselves in combat and who can be considered trust worthy by the Capitaini.
	+ **Grand** **Adjoint** is the title given to Adjoints who are in direct service of the Grand Capitaini. They perform the exact same tasks as Adjoints but the title is seen as slightly more prestigious as the Grand Adjoints are sometimes promoted directly from regular Adjoints. The Grand Adjoint generally stay in service of the Grand Capitaini, however when proved strong they can promote to Capitaini Préféré usually going back to the Capitaini they served as Adjoint before being promoted to Grand Adjoint.

* **Prêtre de Reyim**
	+ The Prêtre de Reyim or Priests of Reyim in the common tongue are powerful battle priests. During times of peace they train their minds and body to perfection, so that during times of battle they can unleash powerful spells at the enemies of Reyim. Before a battle starts the priests will come together to sing a hymn for Reyim, using their magic they amplify the noise of this hymn providing a boost in morale for allied soldiers, who will enthusiastically sing along, and trembling the enemy before the battle. This rank was first developed out of ordinary priests during the Sarum War in a response to better take out the undead. Now the battle priests have become fully integrated within the forces of the Fellowship.

* **Soldiers**
	+ The Soldiers are the bulk of the forces within the Reyimic Fellowship. They will do most of the heavy lifting under the command of the Reyimic Fellowship. There are differing ranks among the soldiers of course but otherwise there isn't a big distinction. These soldiers consist of the following ranks: Foot soldiers, foot archers, spellcasters and mounted riders. The siege engines are placed under the command of the foot soldiers. A special fifth category exists containing dragons.

Other functions:

* **Inquisiteur**
	+ The inquisiteur are an odd group, they fall neither under the civilian structure, nor on under the army structure directly. An inquisiteur is tasked with seeking out any acts of heresy and either reporting back to the Fellowship or taking swift action themselves if the threat is still small enough. Most of the time the inquisiteur travels on their own, but sometimes they will travel in smaller groups to deal with any heretical things they encounter along the way. They typically report to one of the many adjoints about any information the inquisiteurs might have found.

### Civil Structure

The civil structure of the Fellowship consists of all non-combat functions. That doesn't mean that they aren't unskilled fighters, for even the civil ranks of the Fellowship are trained in the art of combat.

* **Hospitalarius**
	+ The Hospitalarius are the doctors of the Fellowship, performing surgeries and healing any wounded with spells. Before surgery a Hospitalarius will pray to Reyim so that she can bestow her wisdom upon the doctor. Despite with their focus being on healing the wounded, the doctors are still capable of packing a bunch with their bone saws.
* **Personne d'argent**
	+ The Personne d'argentis the treasurer of the Fellowship. Each Capitaini has one treasurer at their function who helps finance the castle budget. This budget is partially gained via taxation of the land around the castle or looting.
	+ The **Grand Personne d'argent**, who serves the Grand Capitaini, is responsible for the overall budget of all the castles within the Fellowship. They can be seen as an overseer of grander budget and they distribute gold throughout the different castles.
* **Maître des Clés**
	+ The Maître des Clés can be seen as the chancellor of the Fellowship. They take care of the seals and keys within the Fellowship, they will also act as the recording clerk for each chapter/castle. Generally they will delegate this function to a Maître des clés in training, while they will concern themselves with advising the Capitaini.
* **Huissier**
	+ The Huissier is responsible for supplying the chapters. They are responsible for providing quarters, rations, clothing, and other supplies for each castle.
	+ **Armée Huissier** is the responsible for the supplying of the troops in the field but stays in the back of the baggage train and isn't considered a proper military rank within the order. This used to be different but after a series of battles where Armée Huissiers were lost it was decided to keep them out of arms way. During the transitation it was still seen as a proper military rank however over time the Armée Huissier was seen as less of a soldier and hence the rank become associated with the civil structure of the Fellowship.
* **Prêtre de Théurgie**
	+ The Prêtre de Théurgie advises the Capitaini on all matters magical. They will be the first to identify the sources of evil magic, which is in deviance of the Will of Reyim. The Prêtre de Théurgie is also responsible for interpreting the Will of Reyim.
