Introduction

The Banners of Casa help define the career path of Cavaliers. By joining under a Banner, those sharing similar goals or jobs can come together to complete more work, or plan changes that can effect the pack as a whole. Each Banner is governed by a member of the Council or the Leadership, however those within the Banner do not hold rank over one another; meaning the Titles and Ranks of Casa do not hold sway over decisions made within a Banner. Instead, decisions are made together as a collective group, with the Council or Leadership standing in as any necessary final say or judge.

Joining under a Banner gives your character a chance to develop and grow alongside their peers, each sharing different skills with one another that can help reach certain goals. Each month the Banners will be given a task to complete along with prompts that they can carry out within that month, with some of these tasks being ones set up by the members of the Banner themselves.

Once under a Banner, characters will also have access to special buildings set up within Wolfville, to be used for Banner gathering as well as places of temporary lodging or work.

Guidelines

Requirements for Banner Membership

The first and most important requirement for joining a Banner is to have a Co-Rank. Each Banner has a list of Co-Ranks that fit into their skillset, to demonstrate the importance of presenting a skill when representing one of the Banners. Speciality Co-Ranks are not listed on the Banners, but can however be used to meet the requirement provided players have discussed with leadership prior to their request to join a Banner, and the Speciality Co-Rank fits the theme of that particular Banner.

NOTE: Although each Banner has been given a choice of four Co-Ranks to apply, Leadership can be flexible on these. For example, if your character is a Hunter, but fits better in the Orchid Axe over the Amethyst Eye, then this can be discussed prior to your request.

Provided you have a Co-Rank, the next step is completing the two additional requirements, specific to each Banner. These prompts must be 'completed' (900 words or 3 replies), before a Banner Membership request can be made.
