This message announces the addition of a new Ministry of Information to the Zormite ranking system. I am posting the details of each rank below with their RP descriptions. I would like to thank Zen and Drakeero for their inspiration in the creation of this ministry.
The mission of the Ministry of Information follows the philosophy set forth in the Zormite constitution inasmuch as all ministries are directly controlled by the state, each ministry leader being a cabinet member belonging to the Dictator. Although the primary intent of this branch is education, it should be clear this endeavor is to support the will of the state and ultimately to uplift its purposes. Therefore there is a strong reinforcement of 'control and proper use of information' as it serves the state.
Ranks and descriptions:
Fedakahn (1)- Leader and Head Master of the Informational branch, the Fedakahn oversees all lower rank activities and at all times is mindful of and responsible for the proper dissemination of information to the public as 'education' or 'news', and to the correct officials as 'intelligence'. Is often called upon to write speeches or give informed 'opinions' to the Zormite people in support of the will of the Dictator. In the absence of the Dictator, he/she may be called upon to write a 'public statement' to be given by the Chancellor or himself.
Elderan (2, more if needed) - High Assistants to the Fedakahn, and nearly always at his side or on a mission delegated by him, the Elderan is equally educated with an identical mission but works more 'in the field' as the Fedakahn dictates. Assigns tasks to lower ranks and moves in many circles to interpret, influence and report public sentiment. This player often acts as informal FAQ within the kingdom.
Pirollyr (no max but should be limited) - Basically a counsellor or teacher who serves by educating Zormites with 'approved' information. Often acts as a mediator with internal personal or social conflicts. This rank also assimilates intelligence brought in by the Huginera and Muninera field ranks and passes on what is necessary to the appropriate person or group.
Huginera (no limits, male) or Muninera (no limits, female) -
This rank is only for the most trustworthy, they are essentially 'gatherers' of information from the field and report directly to the Pirollyr for assimilation as to what is useful intelligence and how it will be used.
Feradin (no limits, female) or Geradin (no limits, male) -
This rank is for high level bmode players only. Their work focuses upon researching and documenting fighting techniques. Often involved in training missions with military groups. Often hold sparring events.
Rugin (no limits) - Scouts who serve widely as recruiting agents. Assists in public relations and bringing potentials to emotional and physical readiness. (teaches players about the game) These are the best behaved public representatives of Zormite on the game.
Achiban (no limits) - Initiates to entry level informational branch. Serve in all capacities to upper ranks as aides as they learn their full mission. Must have pen and literacy to enter.
The Historical Branch
Mithralie (3 max, maybe more)- works closely with Celestus and Chaokirs compiling Zormite history as accepted as 'official' by the state and developing/ documenting the historical culture of Zormite. Manages the Zormite library. (more on this later) These players will often tell historical stories in guild to keep the population informed, properly educated and inspired into national devotion. Often hold RP events.
Mesian (3 max) - works on recording present history as it happens. Records events and meetings. Reports to Mithralie. Often assist in writing fables and tales that teach the public good Zormite living. Assists with managing Zormite library. One will often be called upon to accompany the Dictator or other high officials on RP excursions for documentation of any important event, rather like a news agent, to take dictation on site, etc.
Sidos (no limit)- lower level scribes - literally writing footmen who record local events, take notes at public meetings, anything they see or feel might be important to the Mesian. Often freelances in other lands during his travels and is always honing his compositional/mental skills. Assists with libary when needed. By the time these players are promoted they will have high mental skills.
Sidosan (no limit) Entry level to the historical branch. Serve in all capacities to upper ranks in historical branch as aides in various capacities as they learn their missions. Must have pen and literacy to enter.
Bragii - These are in house poets and musicians, enlisted purely for the entertainment of the Dictator and to inspire national pride during military events, shows and comminity feasts or gatherings. One or two might also accompany the Dictator at times.
Tameias - Travelling story tellers who spread and preserve the cultural history of Zormite by telling stories handed down by the Mithralie. They are not officially allowed to write their own stories about Zormite, but they are eager to entertain and often thought of as jokers or jesters by the general public until they become more serious. Sometimes though, they never do.
I will make changes if necessary as we begin to absorb the role of each rank within the ministry.
