Ranks within the Order of Solomon
Jun. 1st, 2017 06:15 am((Note: This is mainly adapted from this site, with a bit adapted from this site. I haven't looked much at either site and was mostly concerned with the rank structure they were using.))
All members of the Order of Solomon are allowed to marry and all leadership positions within the Order are open to women, with the notable exception of positions which require the member to be ordained by the Catholic Church. Members of the Order of Solomon are expected to live according to Catholic morals, with positions Knight and above also requiring vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. The Order defines chastity as abstinence from sexual relationships if single and faithfulness to one's partner if married. The Order's demands of poverty mean that every member of the Order of Knight rank and up...every member of the Order given the means and the instruction in how to use their faith-based magic...is dependent upon the Order for even basic necessities, as they have given up almost all of their previous possessions. The Order's demands that once the vow of obedience is spoken, the Knight must remain loyal to the Order until death. While retirement is allowed, retirees are encouraged to assist in the charitable works of the Order whenever possible. Those Knights who betray the Order are listed as enemies of the Order, to be dealt with as any other military threat.
( No really, this is extremely long and goes into TL;DR levels of detail about the rank structure of the Order of Solomon... )
