The Roadbuilders

[Naamandre3]

The Roadbuilders.

The Roadbuilders are a fraternal order. They are loosely based on the ancient road-builders of rome and the Masonic order. They also have their own Religious and social beliefs. A roadbuilders lives a simple life with no great need for huge material wealth.
They focus on the building and maintenance of the roads of Kiwike, Exploration, Establishing trade routes, Promote peaceful negotiations in the affairs of nations. And act as neutral arbiters when called upon.

They have no allegiance to any one nation, but live by “The laws of the Tables”

Most Roadbuilders due to their nature to build and explore. Live a life outside the comforts of civilization. They are constantly exploring the wild, surveying for future road construction. They are deep underground searching for the new “Quarry” And travel Stones They are forging lasting peace treaties and help settle the disputes of neighbors.

The Laws of the Tables.

The laws of the Tables are rules followed by any Roadbuilders.
Alto there original origin long gone. And the original Tables believed to been destroyed.
They still upkeep the rules of those.


Table 1: Civil procedure

If someone is called to go to court. He has to go.
If he does not go, a witness should be called. Only then should he be Captured.
If the suspect shirks or flees, he could be captured.
If because of illness or old age he is not able to go to court. Give him a carriage to take him there.

Only a landowner should be able to be surety for another Landowner.
But any citizen can be surety for another citizen.

Table 2: Debt

In case of admitted debt or proven debt. Or awards made by a court decision.
The person in debt has 30 days (Minecraft days) for payment.
After the time. The creditor can lay hands on him and haul him to court. If he is found guilty and no-one cares to surety for him. The creditor may take the defendant property as his own. With the belongings found within for himself.
Or let the defendant work to the creditor till the debt has been payed off.

Table 3: Inheritance.

If a person dies intestate and without heirs. The nearest kinsmans shall inherit. If there is no near kinsman his clansmen shall inherit. If someone leaves the road builders. The property and its resources shall be dived among the other clansmen

Important locations to the Roadbuilders.

The Quarry:
It was a sacred site to the Roadbuilders. A large creator where the first Travel Stones where found eons ago. Many of the stones that laid the roadways of Old Kiwike where once cut from The Quarry.

The Quarry was abandoned in the Old Lands. A new quarry location is being sought. Only a place rich in the delicate minerals that make up the Travel Stones may bare the name of The Quarry.

2.0 Quarry: After a long search for the magical area, a new Quarry was found. A giant lake was drained and the search for the mythical Travel stones has begun. After none of these were found the Quarry was abandoned and left behind.

Foundry:
Once the small village that surrounded The Quarry. It was the home to many of the Roadbuilders that work to provide the materials that maintained the Roadbuilders operations. There is of yet no current Foundry

New Haven:
A retreat far from the civilized nations. It was established as an outpost and rest-stop for Travelers. It is also home to Kubrick the last surviving member of the order. The town is now abandoned seeing how all members vanished or have died.

New Hope:
-

Traveller Stones:
Every road that is constructed by the Roadbuilders must begin and end with a Travel Stone harvested from The Quarry. The Roadbuilders believe these mystical black stones are the key to safe travel and peace throughout Kiwike. Because none of these stones have been found in the new lands the Builders believe this is the reason for the bloody conflicts that plague the land.
The only remaining Traveller stone is the stone in the initiation room were new members of the order join.



Degrees:
Degrees are ranks and signs of status within the brotherhood of Roadbuilders.

Entered Apprentice: the degree of an Initiate, which makes one a Roadbuilder. One becomes Apprentice after completing their Initiate Task.
Fellow Craft: an intermediate degree, involved in learning the laws and rules and roadways of the builders.
Expert: Has achieved great success within the workings of the Roadbuilders.
Master: A necessity for participation in the most secret of brotherhood ceremony and policy making.


Titles:
Titles are attached to the Degree's as indication of ones job within the brotherhood. All Roadbuilders will have at least one title. Most will strive to be Masters in all fields and earn the Title True Master.

Stone Cutter: Miner that worked and lived within Foundry and The Quarry. Now the stone cutters are the ones searching for the New Quarry.
Surveyor: Explorer that lays the initial path that will become the road.
Mason: The builders of the road and structures within kiwike.
Keeper: The traders that maintain the Road as the travel. Negotiating and setting up new partnerships on their travels.

Just because a person might have acted wrongly out of there character.
does not mean this will be inflicted to how they acted in there character.
Dont forget there is a line to roleplay Guthrie.
