    Default orders

    Can you create Orders, like the order of the white cross in GSTK?

    That would be cool if we could make something like "The faith Militant" or "the order of the seven"

    I like your idea. Probably The Order of the Seven would be better.

    Technically wouldn't Night's Watch and Kingsguard be considered Orders?

    Yes, but they will be pre-existing orders with special rules. For example, one of the proposed rules for the night's watch is that they cannot recruit troops, instead relying on houses donating troops, i.e. volunteering or emptying their dungeons.

    Which would make sense. Night's Watch by now is not as powerful as before and their ranks are thinning slowly, but steadily due to the Wildlings. So I bet they would have to reply on donations from various nobles and houses for troops and money.

    That's another thing, we haven't named a Commander for the Kingsguard nor the Night's Watch.

    There's people who'd like to get it, so I think it's filled up soon.

    Yeah, thinking about "The flying Scouts" or something, like a recon/fighting guild.

    Kingsguard, Nightswatch, (my introduced Princeguard). We should have more members before we start overdoing it. There isnt enough activity

    Yey Majonga!
    I took out the order rules *for now* because they seemed to far off of anything within Westeros without a major complete rewrite, along with the fact that there are next to no major orders within the world of Westeros that I can think of except for ones that would need extra rules to begin with such as TNW, or the Kingsguard.

    There are two other orders: Warrior's Sons and Poor Fellows. They are associated with the faith of the seven

    I am aware of that, but for this time period they aren't in existence, and if they are wished to be made later on it is just a matter of adding them, don't really need orders as so few actually exist and are made within. Easy enough to RP a secret group or order or whatever.

    Not like orders such as "Brotherhood Without Banners" were official?

    The Brotherhood Without Banners is not an order in the sense that was used in GSTK. It is more of a group of Outlaws/Mercenaries. As such it would fall under a Sellsword company rather than an order.
