General
1. Remain loyal to your station and do not desert your post under any circumstances unless given direct orders by your superiors to do so. If you are required to leave for an extended period of time, you must give your superiors three months’ advance notice. Deserting will be met with the harshest punishment, up to and including discharge from the organization.
2. Obey all orders from your superiors without question. If even one Liberator fails to do their part, the whole operation will be at risk.
3. Treat your superiors with respect, including saluting and responding promptly when addressed. Use of foul language in front of or directed towards a superior will not be tolerated.
4. The safety of all Liberators is more important than that of an individual soldier.
5. It is considered a privilege and an honor to be a Liberator. Take pride in your duties and do not abuse your status.
5. Liberators are eligible to retire at the age of 65, though they are free to continue serving as long as they are able. If a Liberator chooses to retire, they and their family will receive a pension equal to 75% of their salary during active duty.
6. Should a Liberator be permanently disabled as a consequence of serving in combat, they and their family will be recompensed with disability pay equal to 80% of their salary during active duty.
Daily life
1. Liberators shall be paid every two weeks or as the situation allows.
2. Liberators are given three meals a day. One is forbidden from consuming more than their given ration.
3. Possession and consumption of alcohol at any time is forbidden. Any discovered alcohol will immediately be confiscated.
4. Liberators sent on supply missions are forbidden from consuming any of the supplies they gather before they return.
5. Liberators must wear their Dawnwing Uniform and have their equipment (mainhand weapons, Magicaster and Holster, Connection Orb) on hand and in top condition at all times.
6. If any Liberator turns Aberrant, they are to be dispatched immediately to prevent further casualties and infection.
Cadets
1. Cadets must be at least fifteen years of age to be inducted into the Dawnwing Organization organization.
2. All cadets must partake in the Bonding Ceremony and summon a pactbeast in order to be inducted into the Dawnwing Organization organization.
3. Pets are not allowed at Skyhaven due to the risk of disease and aggression towards other Liberators and pactbeasts. If a cadet arrives with a pet, they will be ordered to release their pet before they can partake in the Bonding Ceremony.
Pactbeasts
1. You are responsible for caring for and training your pactbeast. It is expected that you treat your pactbeast with respect and that you train them to interact with other Liberators and their pactbeasts in a respectable manner. Abuse and neglect will not be tolerated.
2. Once summoned, pactbeasts are bound to their summoner as long as they remain in the organization and cannot be transferred to another individual. Additionally, the Bonding Ceremony cannot be redone once completed.
3. Liberators can only have one pactbeast at a time.
4. Should a Liberator die while their pactbeast lives, their Genesis Brace will be returned to the organization and reset, and their pactbeast retired. Should the reverse happen, the Liberator shall be recompensed with another pactbeast of the same kind; rarely they may be asked to change to a different role and be retrained as such, as well as given a new pactbeast to fit that role.
5. Pactbeasts and their Genesis Braces are organizational property. Should a Liberator leave the organization in any way, whether it be via defection or discharge, their Genesis Brace shall be returned to the organization, their bond with their pactbeast permanently and irrevocably severed, and their pactbeast retired.
Leadership and line of succession
1. Should the current High Commander be incapacitated or retire, the role shall pass to the High Lieutenant. The new High Commander must choose their successor among the remaining Division Commanders before nightfall.
2. Should the current High Lieutenant be incapacitated or retire, the High Commander must choose a replacement among the remaining Division Commanders before nightfall.
3. Should both High Commander and High Lieutenant become incapacitated or retire, two of the remaining Division Commanders shall take on their respective roles.
4. Should any of the above happen, or should a Division Commander be incapacitated or retire, a new Division Commander must be chosen among the remaining senior officers in the impacted division before nightfall.
5. A High Lieutenant must have served as a Division Commander for at least one year and is required to continue mentoring those in their division.
6. A Division Commander must have successfully completed at least three high-profile missions.
Relationships with others
1. If one defects from the organization or is dishonorably discharged, they will be permanently blacklisted as outsiders and traitors to be killed on sight.
2. Medics must treat all members equally, regardless of personal history or faction.
3. No Liberator can neglect someone in pain or danger, even if they are from an enemy faction.
4. Do not needlessly hurt or kill others unless they are outside the law or if it is necessary for self-defense.
