MEMBERSHIP

Full membership is open to all confessing (Trinitarian) Christians, provided that they complete

the novitiates training and exit interview with me.

I have a specific mission plan for Dagorhir of which

the Hospitallers are a key ingredient. I am employing a modified version of the Jesuit plan, also called the "Christ IN culture" or "Christ WITH culture". Plan.

If you desire to be a missionary in the "Christ  AGAINST culture" model, please go and start a TEMPLAR unit.

Provisional membership is open to all players with a "lawful/good" character alignment… provided they agree to follow the "Code of Ethics" describe in the "Codex". They will hold the title of "Hospitaller" but will hold no rank or office in the Order. They will be know as "Turcopollers" and welcome as secular

brothers in the order. They may ware the Tabard of Black with a white cross of Malta and carry a round shield with the same cross or personal insignia.

ALTER-EGO / PART-TIME Members ARE allowed.

This means you don't NEED to be a Hospitaller ALL the time... just when you are in THAT character.
