Roster: Sonantius Strigidae

~ Vigiles Amicae Service Record ~

~ Available to all sworn Amicae ~

Name: Sonantius Strigidae

Status: Active

Rank, specialty, auxiliary: Aspirant; Safety & Security, Crusader - Paladin; Tinkerer & Armorsmith

Gender: Male

Age: around 50 (in human development, roughly mid-twenties), specific birth date unknown

Race: Gnome

Birthplace: Thundering Steppes, specific location unknown

Residence/Citizenship: New Halas, stationed in Gorowyn for training

Description and/or portrait:

With his fair skin, blonde hair, grey-blue eyes, long face, and chiseled chin, Sonantius’s face strongly fits the archetype popular among human noble houses of Qeynos. As he is a gnome and not a human, however, these features are almost comically out of proportion. Stance and build bespeak a life of military service. Armor is immaculately fitted and polished heavy plate, of a brass hue. Favors a gnomish naginata, but more usually armed with a longspear or lance best suited for mounted combat. May be wielding a sword and shield instead where long weapons are impractical or unwelcome. Shield blazon: Party per pale Or and Murrey, a cogwheel counterchanged.

Specialties:

Tinkering, with a special interest in precision, standardization, and reliability of parts; maintenance of armor, arms, and other equipment; spears & polearms; cavalry and mounted melee combat; percussion instrument performance

Proficient:

sword & shield; two-handed blades; peacekeeping & police work; heraldry & history of noble houses; arcane theory (but not practice); alchemical theory (but not practice)

Weaknesses: ranged weapons; magical practice; alchemical practice; wilderness survival & tracking; singing; diplomatic contact with “uncivilized” races

Service Record & Events of Note:

Previous known Aliases: Ondegar Farspark (birth name)

Former squire of an unrecorded Paladin of the Tribunal. Currently devoted “Quality Control Inspector” of the Tribunal. Known to have attempted to organize a clockwork-mounted gnome cavalry from Gnomeland Security HQ to raid Klak-Anon, but efforts failed due to prevailing gnomish tendency of ill-timed tinkering of their mounts. Admitted as an Aspirant by Vigiles Amicae to bolster ranks of cavalry and security units.

Roster: Chevanima Amrunrosse

~ Vigiles Amicae Service Record ~

~ Available to all sworn Amicae ~

Name: Chevanima Amrunrosse
Status: Active
Rank, specialty, auxiliary: Civites, berserk-fighter, woodworker and tinkerer
Gender: Female
Age: 75 - in truth a very young elf.
Race: Ayr'dal - mixed teir' and koada' heritage
Birthplace: Freeport
Residence/Citizenship: Gorowyn, Freeport, and Maj'Dul

Description and/or portrait:
A slender, and very youthful elf of uncertain heritage, shorter than average.
Her skin is too smooth and her movements too cat-like to be part human. Her skin is an ashy middle tone, neither light nor dark. Her long ears would suggest teir'ish heritage, but the tone of her hair is more gold than white.
One eye is gray, the other, blue.
Frequently wears green. When in armor, it tends to be battered, poorly fitted, and stained with grease, glitter, paint, or glue rather than blood.



Specialties:
Tinkering. Woodcarving. Evading sentries. Baton fighting.

Proficient:
Pickpocketing. Unarmed combat. Edged weapon and shield. Blunt weapon and shield.

Weaknesses:
Easily distracted. Can frequently be bribed with jam or other sweets. Curious well beyond the limits of even human etiquette.

Service Record & Events of Note:
Although the younger Amrunrosse has no official military capacity, Vigiles records indicate her tutors have largely been drawn from its ranks. She has studied with every blade specialist in the ranks, with or without official sanction, and the list of search and recovery missions which have been deployed in connection with her are by this point too numerous to count.
Records indicate that the frequent refectory and crafthall fires through the Age of the New Combine, the Age of the Dead, and well into the Age of Dragons are attributed to her continuing studies in gnomeric mechamagical tinkering.
Shortly after the elder Amrunrosse was placed in supervised exile in Velious, Schuemakkar was detailed to oversee the martial education of the younger Amrunrosse, for which he draws an additional stipend of 25 gold ducats per season.
Late in the Age of the New Combine, the younger Amrunrosse was given an honorary commendation for her success in designing a stable, reproducible flight kajigger harness with a closed manabattery motor capable of 12 hours continuous flight. In the intervening years, further refinements have increased the range to 72 hours and the weight limit to nearly 22 stone.

Previous known Aliases: Cheva. Imp. That elf that just blew up my office. Littlest. 
Chevanima has lived among the Amicae for most of her life: her full acceptance and protection as Amicae was a condition of the elder Amrunrosse taking oath in the Age of Shadow.

Service Record & Events of Note:
Amrunrosse swore full oath late in the Age of Shadow, and swiftly advanced through the ranks to the post of Vigiles Captain, which position she held until well into the Age of the New Combine. In the aftermath of the Cel'Voda and D'Vinnian campaigns for the Recovery of the Legate, she intervened in an altercation between the Praetor and Vigiles Captain Valacor Valinos.
In the course of that confrontation, she had the Praetor declared medically unfit for duty, and claimed the position of Acting-Praetor herself.
Among her first actions in power:
     - directed the restraint of the Praetor
     - Ordered the court-martial of Valinos, and the automatic verdict of high treason, punishable by execution, in the event that he should escape before trial
     - Stripped Chief Medical Officer Yorrik Thrayson of his rank
     - declared the medical corps fully under the authority of the Praetorship, without recourse to the Council
     - deployed a full cohort to the D'Vinnian territory with orders to slay all hostile units
     - ordered the Legate Bellum to permanently neutralize the former Praetor as soon as the Legate Pax or the remains thereof were located
Amrunrosse brief tenure as Acting Praetor was rife with conflict, although ultimately she did lead a successful raid to recover the remains of the Legate Pax. Near the end of her reign, she issued a warrant for her own arrest for treason, which was submitted to the Acting Legate Pax in such a manner that it could not be unmade.
She was arraigned first on assault on a Vigiles officer, for striking Equites Kanaemar without just cause, and the final list of charges when she was brought before the High Council were rumored to fill five pages, although those records have been since classified.
Amrunrosse was assigned to serve out her Exile in Velious in perpetuity, and this sentence remained in effect  well into the Age of Dragons, when the Praetor applied to the Council to modify the terms of the exile to permit her transfer to Maj'Dul and limited privileges of Equites rank.

Previous known Aliases: Folodu, Flo, Fol, General Folodu Amrunrosse, Exile, Bright One.
Former soldier and general of the Argentium Circuli, known for speed, agility, wilderness survival, and a chaotic civilian life. Well trained in group or solo missions, she is a career woman who enjoys causing others embarrassment and training new soldiers. Honorable separation from Argentium Circuli: head of Argentium Circuili was declared oath-breaker in the season preceding the fall of the Overlord’s Citadel. Intervening years spent incognito.

Roster: Sytan Fiac

~ Vigiles Amicae Service Record ~

~ Available to all sworn Amicae ~

Name: Sytan Fiac
Status: Active, with medical restrictions
Rank, specialty, auxiliary: Legate Auxilus Pax, Necromancer, Sage
Gender: Male
Age: Appears no more than middle-age - or about 300 years old for an elf.
Race: Teir'dal
Birthplace: Unknown
Residence/Citizenship: Most recently registered in Gorowyn

Description and/or portrait:
A light ashen skintone over a thin frame, and perpetually slouched shoulders. His face is etched deep with worry lines and is set in almost a continuous frown. He frequently can be seen walking with a limp. In loose or thin clothing, a set of gnarled, poorly healed scars bisect his sternum and scapula. He can typically be found in dark, somber robes, Except in Maj'Dul. When he is in the desert he frequently adopts the thin and ornamented linens of the local dervin people, though even in these he selects deep jewel tones.
He wears a bone ring on his right pinky finger. The faint smell of sandalwood follows him.
His hair is shoulder length, frequently braided, and seems to lack luster, as if he is not eating well or recovering from illness.


Specialties:
Staff fighting, histories, diplomacy, magical theory, direction of entropic and hematergic magical energies

Proficient:
Unarmed combat, light arms, medium arms, pole arms, staff, terrain, research, magic theory, energy storage, carpentry, needlepoint, diplomacy, field survival.

Weaknesses:
Diplomacy. Walks with a limp, and sometimes needs a cane for balance and support. Vulnerable to all standard physical and magical attacks capable of overcoming the shields and reactive defenses of any average necromancer of middle-rank.

Service Record & Events of Note:
Appears to have been appointed as Legate Pax as far back as the earliest records of the Vigiles. With the exception of the years he was being held by hostile fores, he has served that role continuously ever since. His service record is exemplary: without controversy or challenge, except insofar as he traditionally opposes the Legates Bellum when debating matters of diplomatic significance before the Council.
Widely believed to serve the Praetor as consort, but no official record supports this rumor.

Previous known Aliases: Legate Auxilus Pax Sytan Finn, Diplomat Sytan of Argentum Circuli. Referred to by the Erollissian devotees as Brother Fiac. Hailed by the Ravens as Greyfeather. Known in certain slums as Sidhen Finn.

Records suggest no public positions held before being named Diplomat for Argentum Circuli. Argentum history hotly contested by reputable scholars, as those fragmentary records date from the Age of the Spires many dozens of centuries ago. Likely the record refers instead to an ancestor of the present Fiac.
