Guild Name: Pious Multitude

**Concept**:
Pious Multitude is a guild inspired by the Knights Templar, combining religious themes, medieval chivalry, and a structured hierarchy that emphasizes loyalty, faith, and valor. The guild will have a strong focus on PvP and PvE content, with a specific interest in protecting its members, dominating node warfare, and being a force of stability and justice within the game world.

Guild Vision & Goals
- **Mission**: Uphold justice and order, defend allies, and secure wealth for the guild's prosperity.
- **Focus**: Node warfare, resource management, PvP dominance, and religious RP events.
- **Playstyle**: Semi-hardcore with a mix of structured gameplay and immersive roleplay elements.
- **Alignment**: Lawful Neutral—acting as defenders of order and as enforcers of a higher cause within the game world.

Thematic Elements
1. **Templar Imagery**: The guild will use symbols of purity, discipline, and protection, such as crosses, shields, and religious scriptures.
2. **Religious Undertones**: Incorporate titles and ranks based on chivalric orders, with roleplay elements that give members a sense of duty and honor.
3. **Uniforms and Mounts**: Members could use specific armor and mounts that align with the guild’s image, like white and red uniforms (reminiscent of the Templars).

Guild Structure and Ranks

The rank system is based on a modified version of the Templar hierarchy, blending chivalric titles and roles. Each rank has specific duties, privileges, and expectations.

1. **High Council** (Leadership and Strategic Direction)
- **Grand Master**: Leader of the guild, responsible for setting the vision and maintaining diplomatic relations with other guilds. Makes key decisions and leads in times of war.
- **Marshal**: Second-in-command, oversees military operations, war planning, and strategic deployment of members.
- **Seneschal**: Oversees administrative tasks such as recruitment, event coordination, and guild finances. Acts as a liaison between officers and members.
- **Priory**: Spiritual leader, responsible for morale, resolving disputes, and maintaining the guild’s lore and religious aspects.

2. **Knight Commandery** (Core Officers)
- **Commander**: Leads squads or divisions in battle, oversees training of lower ranks, and ensures members are combat-ready.
- **Chaplain**: Provides support and guidance to members, hosts religious roleplay events, and reinforces guild ideology.
- **Treasurer**: Manages the guild bank, resources, and assets, ensuring wealth and resources are distributed fairly.

3. **Order of Knights** (Elite Members)
- **Knight-Captain**: Veteran members with proven leadership and combat skills, trusted to lead smaller groups in skirmishes or PvE encounters.
- **Knight**: Core PvP and PvE force of the guild, responsible for executing commands in battle and protecting lower-ranked members.

4. **Order of Squires** (Intermediate Members)
- **Squire-Sergeant**: Experienced members, assist in training recruits and providing logistical support during large-scale conflicts.
- **Squire**: Members who have demonstrated commitment and skill, undergoing training to become knights.

5. **Initiates & Devotees** (New Members & Recruits)
- **Initiate**: New recruits undergoing trials and training. Must prove their loyalty, skill, and understanding of the guild’s philosophy.
- **Devotee**: Non-combatant members, such as crafters and traders, who support the guild’s infrastructure and resource management.

5. **Resource & Crafting Initiatives**:

- Specialists within the guild (Devotees) will manage these aspects and contribute to the war chest.

Guild Code of Conduct

- **Oath of Loyalty**: Every member must swear an oath to uphold the guild’s values, obey their superiors, and put the guild’s interests above all else.
- **Respect & Honor**: Members are expected to show respect within the guild and to allied guilds. Disputes should be resolved through mediation by the Chaplain or Seneschal.
- **Discipline**: Maintain a disciplined approach in battles, follow commands, and strive to perfect one's skills in service of the guild.

Guild Anthem / Motto

- **Motto**: *"In Unity, There is Strength; In Faith, There is Power."*
