Scribe Order

Scribe Order
Order
Origins	City of Regalia

The Scribe Order sometimes also referred to as the Order of Scribes or Scribarium, is a Guild that has been around since the founding of the Empire, and was primarily created by the Solvaan Elves as a means to preserve history in an Empire that was ruled by Ailor, who are comparatively short-living and easy to forget history passing from generation to generation. The Scribe Order has silently recorded the events of Regalian history, albeit with a Regalian bias, and can in many ways be considered the quintessential source for historical nuance and information that is often lost in the history books. The Scribe Order also expanded to include scholars who use their libraries as a resource, historians who use it to debate historical context, and bureaucrats who use historical precedent for legislation and paperwork. The Scribe Order is in general seen as the quintessential education Guild, which also manages the majority of the public and private schools in Regalia, and also offers tutoring lessons for those who are illiterate.

Design

There are no design limitations on the Scribe Order's Guild members. The Scribe Order prides itself in being a neutral common ground, even for purists and the Occult, who have a common interest in the correct interpretation of history and fact. While the individual ideologies of the members might violently conflict outside of their work, there is a general rule that internally, none of the members may commit violence or verbal assault on any other member, even if they can do so at people outside the Guild. Any person of any age, heritage, gender, affliction, affinity, occult or purist, social class, religion etc is permitted to join, and the Guild does not discriminate even against Vampires, with their Guild headquarters being neutral ground where even Knights cannot arrest the Occult or criminals, though how they get in and out of the Guild Headquarters without being caught may be a problem for another time. Those who violate the sanctity of the Guild's HQ and internal neutrality and peace are expelled from the Guild. The Scribe Guild does not currently have a formal headquarters in Regalia as it is under renovation, however the Order has temporarily assigned the Regalian Lecture Hall (next to the Conference Hall close to /tp Regalia, white building surrounded by water), as their Guild HQ, which is where the neutrality truce applies.

Recommended Jobs

Recommended Jobs is not strictly a required set of Jobs like it is for the Knight Orders, but just a general recommendation towards the players where best to apply this particular Guild Membership in Roleplay.

• Historian: Progressions and Events can sometimes come across as overwhelmingly difficult to understand, or fail to explain the nuance of what happens. Many groups in roleplay benefit from that one person who has read all the important progressions and understands the sequence of events in the server's 10+ years of history. These people may provide invaluable input to prevent mistakes from being made during pivotal moments, but requires a love for reading.
• Fact Checker: Player Characters, and especially Event Characters, can lie and be duplicitous. A Fact Checker or some kind of Noble Scribe is invaluable to any group that attempts to engage in politics on the global or local stage, because having all the wrong facts results in all the wrong decisions. A Fact Checker needs to be quick on their feet to know where to look for specific information on the Wiki, cross reference, and Ticket where necessary for unmentioned info.
• High Advisor: Naturally Scribe Guild members are intellectuals, and as such might have a wealth of insight and knowledge about day to day ongoings that makes them have a very important input on decisions made by those in higher positions of power. Scribe Guild Advisors are particularly useful to those who do not yet fully grasp the nuances of social interactions between the various guilds, or can warn for legal, royal, economic or historical complications.

Mechanics

Guild Mechanics facilitate certain interactions that might not normally possible for people outside of Guild membership who do not have the Guild's resources. Guild Mechanics are always Mundane and do not make a Character Occult, and are contingent on being a Guild Member. Some Guilds have special rules which are required for the Mechanic. This means that membership is not contingent on these requirements, but that unlocking the Mechanic is, so that these strict guidelines don't needlessly block membership, but still gate-keep the actual Mechanic behind conforming to a Character design.

Scribe Order Mechanics

• Scribe Order Members may appeal to Scholarly research during Staff Events that may give them more historical insight to see through an Event NPC lying about the facts (consult with Event DM).
• Scribe Order Members may request additional research material after Staff Events or Progression Events in Staff Ticket, which may or may not be provided depending availability and Staff input.
