Red Lynx Trading Company
Rank System
Viceroy
Trade Govenor/Lord General
Master Artisan/Commander
Master Gatherer/High Mage
Merchant/Lieutenant
Journeyman/Sergeant
Apprentice/Corporal
Initiate
I am proposing a change in the ranks system in our free company to accommodate for different paths that can be taken in the game and to increase interest and clarify our ranking system. Essentially, all members start as an initiate, the way they always have. Then during their next promotion they pick whether they will follow the path of the dragon (adventuring and combat) or the unicorn (crafting, gathering, and roleplaying).
Those following the path of the dragon will journey through military themed ranks such as corporal, sergeant, and lieutenant. Whereas the path of the unicorn will be themed in terms of trade and mercantilism: apprentice, journeyman,and merchant. The three highest ranks in each path will be reserved for one individual and will be an officer class rank. These include the dragon’s commander, high mage, and lord general. The unicorn will include the master artisan, the master gatherer, and the governor of trade. Above all would be a single preeminent leader: the viceroy of the Red Lynx Trading Company.
In essence, aside from the viceroy, the ranks will be equal across divisions. For example a lieutenant is equal to a merchant and both ranks have voting rights in the company for major decisions. A laborer is equal to a corporal, and so on. Just because one chooses a particular path does not mean that he/she is bound to only combat or only crafting in the game. All aspects of the game should be enjoyed by all. This ranking system offers primarily a thematic preference, but also serves the purpose of helping to determine what our company will expect from you as a member. For example, if you are a dragon then you will be expected to participate and help more in aiding other members in running dungeons, training members in combat, and being a part of raids.
Moreover, it should be noted that through the viceroy is supreme, the Lord General and the Trade Governor along with the viceroy create a triad of ruling power which can then be expanded to the commander, high mage, the master artisan, and the master gatherer. This creates the council of seven.
Council of Seven Rank Responsibilities:
Viceroy: Holds all rights as master of the free company and leader of the other members. The viceroy is both an accomplished fighter and crafter and values both avenues of growth in the game. He/she is the final say on decisions concerning the free company.
Lord General: Is the head of the Order of the Dragon in the Red Lynx Trading Company. He/she has many powers that assist him/her in teaching and leading in the disciples of war and the disciples of magic.
Commander: Is second in command of the Order of the Dragon and is given powers and responsibilities that allow him/her to aid primarily the disciples of the war.
High Mage: Is third in command of the Order of the Dragon and is given powers and responsibilities that allow him/her to aid primarily the disciples of magic.
Trade Governor: Is the head of the Order of the Unicorn in the Red Lynx Trading Company. He/she has many powers that assist him/her in teaching and leading the disciples of the land and the disciples of the hand.
Master Artisan: Is second in command of the Order of the Unicorn and is given powers and responsibilities that allow him/her to aid primarily the disciples of the hand. He/she is also responsible for maintaining and governing the gardens of the company.
Master Gatherer: Is third in command of the Order of the Dragon and is given powers and responsibilities that allow him/her to aid primarily the disciples of the land. He/she is also responsible for maintaining and governing the stables of the company.
