The Lodge of the Opal Stag is a Regalian born fraternity, operating from the heart of the Imperial City. The Lodge serves as a place for gentlemen to smoke the finest of tabaca, indulge in the sweetest of opiates, and mingle in exclusive company. Membership is costless, and requires all but an oath of fraternity, and a drop of Noble blood.
The Lodge opperates on a set of idealistic principals, of brotherhood, loyalty, chivalry, and harbours a code of conduct which mirrors this. On occation, the Lodge will host public and private events, though favours a sense of anonymity for its membership. The Lodge members are often persuaded to identify eachother with a unique handshake, or gesture, outside of Lodge Walls.
The Lodge was established by Richarr Ravenstad in his late teenage years, though has recently dwindled in numbers. Ser Ravenstad has recenty sought after new members, and word is Richarr seeks new brothers to share revelry and memories. The Lodge is an ideal place to practice dueling, aquate oneself with fine spirits, propose thoughtful philosophy, or not-so-thoughtful Philosophy.. Or anything its membership would so desire. Above all, the Lodge is a Social Club.
Recently the Lodge mysteriously came under the management of Albaer Ravenstad. To what end he wishes to conduct the Lodge is unknown, though surely not as he nephew did.
- The Lodge Fathers are the founders and first among equals of the Lodge. The the Fraternal Code maintains that all members are of equal station within the Lodge's walls, though maintains that we all require proper station to better serve. The Lodge Fathers deal with mangement of events, membership, and direction.
- The Lodge Brothers are the bulk of membership within the Opal Stag. They are informed of the many Fraternal Secrets of the Lodge, and trusted with the Key to the Lodge Hall. Brothers are presented with their Opal Ring, to symbolise their membership of the Lodge, and granted access to the iner-sanctum of the Lodge Hall.
- Though not trusted fully with the rights of a full Lodge Brother, these men are not far from such an honour. Junior Brother's are asked to complete a single dare, to prove their Fraternal Trust and Spirit. After such a task is completed, these Brothers are invited to join the Lodge fully. Junior Brother can be seen as a Recruitment Rank, within the Lodge.
- The Lodge Warden is tasked with maintaining the safety of the Lodge Hall incase of invaders. The Lodge Warden must be a Lodge Brother prior to being appointed to the position. The Lodge Warden is granted his own Ceremonial Amulet, bearing the ensignia of his station (Two crossed maces).
- The Lodge Treasurer is trusted with maintaining the financial books of the Lodge; counting Lodge Donations; taking tifes; and protecting the vault. The Treasurer is entrusted with one of two keys to the Vault of the Lodge Hall.
- The Secretary is the only position obtainable by a woman. The Lodge Secretary deals with the day to day paperwork and running of the lodge, while also acting as a public-face when need be. The Lodge Secretary is entrusted with the same honours as Lodge Brothers, and is also expected to take the Fraternal Oath.
By [Whichever Diety the Applicant May choose]. I, [Name] do swear an oath of unbreakable trust, solidarity, and loyalty, to be outshined by only the Emperor himself. I shall strive to revel with my brothers, and bring great festivity in doing so. I shall take no qualms with my brothers, nor shall I strike them by hand or by tongue, without rightful cause. I shall do good by those in need, and strike heavily those who mar the Emperor's name.
I swear all this, and more.
May the Lodge never fail us.
