Solomon House Agent Ranks

As agents of Solomon House undertake various missions and turn in various magic items their efforts do not go unnoticed. So long as they remain in good standing an agent can expect to be promoted up the chain of command as they go. This comes with more responsibilities but also more rewards. The only outward sign of a change in rank is the color of the rim around the edge of their Solomon House badge.

#### Solomon House Badges

All Solomon House agents have a badge. It is a small, dark blue, shield-shaped badge with a crimson "SH" superimposed over a compass rose. It has a trim color that indicates an agents rank in the organization.

# Agent Ranks

## Novice Agent

Everyone begins as a **novice agent**, regardless of how skillful or storied they were before joining the ranks of Solomon House. They are expected to carry out the tasks assigned to them by a station master (this is generally for their own good).

* They have a green trim around their badge.
* All players are part of this for their first few sessions.

## Agents

After they’ve proven themselves on a few missions of exploration they are made into **full agents**. Agents have a lot more autonomy and can decide what sort of missions of exploration they’d like to go on with input form their station master.

* They have a blue trim around their badge.
* On your 5th session you are promoted.

### Scholar of Solomon

A scholar of Solomon is an equivalent rank. Scholars are kept in stations (rather than out in the field) or in the main branch. Their job is to identify magic items and research topics. They are the source of most of the information Solomon House produces. Scholars are part of the clergy of the deity Solomon.

* Their badges are similar to field agents (using the same trims) but their badges are circular.
* These are NPCs.

## Veteran Agents

A **veteran agent** is someone who Solomon House innately trusts who has proven time and time again that they have what it takes to be a leader within the organization. Veteran agents advise local station masters and largely set their own destinations.

* Their badges are trimmed in red.
* 10 or more sessions

## Senior Agent

A **senior agent** is a station master in training. They act as their deputy, their eyes and ears in the field, and begin to be able to train the next generation. They are sometimes referred to as “lieutenant station masters” or “Jr. station masters”.

* Their badges are trimmed in white.
* 20 or more sessions

## Station Master

A **station master** is an agent responsible for a region and all exploration within it. They dispatch teams, collect information, and/or lead important missions of exploration. Some are ok staying behind a desk while others are more at home on expeditions. The former are referred to as “**station scholars**” in Solomon House slang and the latter “**station stallions**” (a “stallion” being a slang term for an enlisted soldier becoming an officer later in their career). Many work in the main branch and oversee missions from afar.

* Their badges are trimmed in yellow.
* 40 sessions or more

## Station Master General

The **station master general** is one of the mysterious top advisors in Solomon House. They are on part of the council who oversees all of Solomon House. They are assigned to oversee multiple station houses or particularly important ones. They often have several station masters under them and will oversee dozens of field agents of varying ranks. Some say they are Solomon’s avatars and act directly on Solomon’s orders. There is no known leader of Solomon House beyond the council of station masters but it has been posited that, as they are "advisors", they must be advising someone.

* Their badges are trimmed in gold.
* 100 sessions or more
