Guild Ranks


Battle Master

The Battle Master is the ultimate authority and decision maker for the guild. Important descisions are often discussed with the Council members and/or Lord Commanders, however the Battle Master can act independently of the Council when deemed prudent or necessary. If a member has been removed from the guild for violating guild policies or undesirable conduct, the Battle Master must be petitioned before membership can be restored..


Lord Commander

Lord Commanders have the authority to remove members for misconduct, can organize guild-wide events, and perform a variety of guild maintenance and other duties as deemed necesarry by the Battle Master. These members have demonstrated a high level of trustworthiness and loyalty to the good of the guild and are organized and professional in their demeanor. Lord Commanders are hand selected by the Battle Master to assist in the day to day management of the guild and can delegate tasks to the Council when reasonable. To avoid gamer burnout, Lord Commanders may change frequently due to the extreme demands of their rank.


Council

Council members are in place to ensure the smooth opperation of the guild from day to day. They are available to mediate conflicts between members and are able to demote members to a less privilaged rank as a probationary measure. Council members have enhanced Vault access and are the go to members when you would like to purchase special items or to exceed your access level for the good of the guild. Officers demonstrate a high degree of guild loyalty and participation in guild activities, they typically have a strong understanding of game mechanics and a willingness to pitch-in.


Knight Commander

Knight Commanders are the go to members for their calling. They have a strong understanding of class mechanics, gear, souls, rotation, and their role in either PVP or PVE encounters. These members have strong ties in the guild and have demonstrated commendable leadership capabilities and skill. These members are not only a valuable asset for seeking class related assistance, but also have a key role in planning guild events and mentoring / testing new members for raid worthiness and other activities. A member can not advance past the Member rank without a recommendation from a Knight Commander or higher ranking official.


Espada

Espada are the master PVP dominators of the guild. The Espada are responsible for the promotion of telara-wide destruction and mayhem to the Guardian Race. These members regularly participate in and schedule War Fronts, and other PVP opportunities. The Espada are often seen schooling the new comers and generally are the go-to group for tips and tricks relating to all things PVP. The Hit List on the Forums shall be maintained by this group with kill on sight instructions and other need to know information to aid the cause.


Knights Elite

Knights Elite are our quintessential Guardian Slayers, who regularly kill the enemy on sight no questions asked. These members will go out of their way to seek out opportunities to maim, kill or otherwise harm members of the opposing faction. You will often find Knights Elite wandering away from a rift groups or other activity to hunt down and taunt Guardians into flagging themselves. These natural born killers are promoted by impressing the Espada with their extreme dedication to the eradication of the opposition. Knights Elite are expected to attend scheduled and occasional unscheduled PVP events regularly.


Knight

Knights are the PVP junkies of the guild. This rank is for members of any level who have demonstrated an unquenchable lust for blood and valor. These members are skilled in their calling and have the deathcount to prove it! Knights can be promoted after a short probationary period but are not required to participate regularly in scheduled guild sponsored events; it is strongly encouraged that these players participate regularly in organized PVP activities however. Members may be removed from this rank if they are caught consorting with the enemy in unseemly activities or have failed to slaughter a member of the opposing faction in the last 24 hours of game play.


Raiders

Raiders are responsible for regular attendance in guild sponsored raid activities to advance our guild standing on the Faeblight Shard. These members have been recommended by a Knight Commander or higher ranking official and have the met the minimum gear/skill requirements to be successful in raid encounters. Raiders must continually strive to meet the standards of the raid group and may be placed on standby due to performance or misconduct at the disgression of the raid coordinator at any time. Raiders must be prepared with all required provisions and maintain an acceptable attendance to retain their rank. This rank is a privilage and should be regaurded as such.


Freelancer

Freelancers are the casual players in the guild who enjoy a little bit of everything but are not as diehard or have the time to dedicate to the other ranks. These members are free to enjoy life outside of Faeblight and come visit and participate as often as they like. Freelancers are welcome to Vault goods and other guild resources as well as join us for guild sponsored events as space permits.


Recruit

Recruits will hold this position for as long as they feel they need to warm up to our members, activities and policies. To move up in rank they must first sign up on the guild website and discuss their intent with a Knight Commander or other officer. Members placed on probation will hold this rank until an officer has been petitioned to reinstate their status after an incident has been reported. This rank is considered a guest rank with limited access while "proper fit" is determined.
