Queen/Goddess
Highest rank attainable in Family of Silver Serpents. She
is the beacon of light that guides in the dark; she is the darkness
that cloaks us in the shadows. She is the goddess who makes everything
possible. We shall conquer in her name and reap meaningful rewards
for her glory.
Ranked Serpent Lords
Lord of Serpents / Serpent Death Lord
Leaders of the Queen’s army. Complete trust between the two, they
are sworn brothers and are the strength of the Queen. In instances
where the Queen requests something, they make it happen.
Lord of Serpents
-- Commander of the army and policy creator of the guild.
Serpent Death Lord
-- Leader of the Elite Serpents. Ruthless -- he is the enforcer
of the Queen’s will. Any means necessary, he will get the job done.
Named Serpent Lords
Dark Serpent Lord / High Serpent Priest
Both are rather secretive and may have motives that are only privy
to the Queen or Serpent Lords.
Dark Serpent Lord
-- Leader of the spies and those things we Serpents do not speak
about publicly.
High Serpent Priest
-- In charge of the loyal Priests of the Goddess. They spread the
word of the Queen through prophecy, scripture and warfare.
Titled Serpents
The elite Serpents. Extraordinary deeds will grant them this distinction.
They will have personal titles with “Serpent” included. These are
the leaders of the core family members and are treated with honor
and respect throughout the family. Leaders of the day-to-day affairs
of the guild, they can be called on for aid, to lead, or to fight.
Names usually refer to personality traits or certain inclinations.
Serpent of Stealth, Serpent of Valor, Pride of Serpents, Serpent
of Honor, Serpent of Chaos, Serpent of Law, etc…
Great Ceremonies will be held to honor Serpents meeting this level.
To end the feast we will mount up as a family and raid one of our
rival guilds, till they are all dead or we die trying. In the rare
event one of these members leaves or betrays the guild, they will
be hunted down. Forever, to be mocked, killed and scorned. Any guild
that takes them in is subsequently “kill on site” to all FSS members.
NO mercy on those who betray.
Serpents
Those who have been proven worthy of the family will be grouped
based on class. IE. Serpent Knight, Serpent Rogue/Thief/Scout, Serpent
Mage/Wizard, Serpent Priests/Cleric/Friars/Soothsayer/ etc….
When someone is promoted from Serpling, to a full Serpent they
will give their oath to the Queen for life. There will be a ceremony,
in their honor where battles will be fought and ale drank. The Serpent,
who is promoted, will fight this night against the Lord of Serpents
and the Serpent Death Lord. Once promoted to a Core Family Member,
any betrayal or leaving of the family will mean death. You will
be hunted down and killed, at least one time. If joining a guild
of neutrality, this may cause war between our guilds.
Serplings
Beginning ranks in the family. They must prove they can live by
the code FSS. They must prove loyalty, honor, and no cowardice.
Must show us they can be self-sufficient. This period may last anywhere
for 1 hour to months. Some may never be accepted in the guild. All
new applicants will be considered “Serplings.” You will not get
special attention. This is a probation period, where you will be
deemed worthy or not worthy. You may leave or enter this ranking
freely.
New positions might entail: Lord of the Serpents
Song, the leader of our minstrels and bards. This person would also
be in charge of our ambassadors and diplomats. Lastly, a title retired
for the time being, Mystical Serpent Lord might be reactivated if
the goddess delivers us one worthy of the position. The Queen, being
a Queen, likes goodies. She is in charge of the merchants and taxes
throughout the kingdom. She may appoint someone to be the Lord of
the Merchant sector.
