The Arnorian Navy Structure

For the moment, there are 2 regiments that make up the navy. The 1st is the Royal Scouts which are the elite scouts of Arnor. The 2nd is the main body, which is theRoyal Fleet of Arnor that is divided into 3 divisions.

The Royal Fleet of Arnor

There are 3 divisions in the Royal Fleet of Arnor, where only two divisions are open to anyone, which is the Royal Marines and the Elite Sailors and the one unavailable as of yet, Infiltration Seals.

Upon filling out this form, you will then undergo Basic Training, which is 10 questions on lore and warcraft. Available trainers will be myself King Elessar, 1st Marshal Erkendorn, Queen Arwen, Steward Giliathriel and more will come as the palace progresses.

After Basic Training, you will pick a division. Marines or Sailors, and go Marine/Sailor Training, which will be conducted by the same trainers. That training will consist of 5 quick questions regarding that area and then you will have a sparring session with your trainer. After that your trainer will give you a senario regarding that area, and you will tell IC how to solve it. Once you have completed that, you have graduated from Navy Training!

You will start as either a Marine or the rank of Landsman, which is the lowest Sailor rank open. Since we dont have enough numbers for an RPG, we will have a "Lond Daer Port Guard" thread open, which is where the Arnorian Navy is based in. Post there under the command of our NPC officers and you will work your way through the Junior Warrior ranksHere they are.

Sailors

1st Class Marine

First Mate

2nd Class Marine

Boatswain

Seamen

Petty Marine

Landsman

Once you are at 1st Class level, you will be open for petty officer rank. Simply, you will be given another senario to deal with, and once thats been done, you are a Petty Marine Officer or a Petty Sailor Officer. Once your trainer or a higher officer thinks you are finally ready for CPO (Chief Petty Officer), then you can choose to go to the Infiltration Seals, or continue up the officer ranks of Marines or Sailors.

Officer Ranks
After deciding to continue up the officer ranks while your at Petty Officer, you must undergo another senario given by your trainer to become a CPO. After that you will have to post in the Port Guard thread in order to achieve full officer status. If your trainer or any officer thinks you have posted well enough to be an officer, you will be told by your trainer to do an Advanced Officer's Course. This includes an obstacle course which is made by the high officers which is the key to becoming an officer in any Royal Fleet Division. (It hasn't been made yet, will be posted up soon though). Once done, you will have a sparring session with your trainer and then you have graduated to the rank of Lieutenant or Sergeant Major. You may choose if you want to be a commissioned officer, or a non commissioned officer. Sergeant Majors are non-commissioned and will become trainers to the new recruits of that division. Lieutenants will be one of the commanders of that division

After this, any promotions to Commander or Captain will only occur when there is a place available. There are unlimited numbers of Lieutenants or Sergeant Majors, and once a position is open, depending on your posting in an RPG or the Port Guard, the previous officer of that rank will choose a successor Commander or Captain. The officer that is in command of all 3 divisions is the Commodore

After this, all promotions to the Arnorian Navy Control Company will only be done hand-picked.

Infiltration Division[/u]

If you chose the Infiltration division when a petty officer, you will then have to undergo more training, under the direction of an infiltration warrant officer or the same standard ones as before. You will go through infiltration training but it isn't too hard. You will be given another senario and some practical work with the ballista and other infiltration devices.

After that, its Infiltration graduation and then off to the Port Guard once again. Continue up the infiltration ranks and once your at petty officer, its another Infiltration senario and then your a petty officer. Then, one more senario will do once your trainer thinks you've done well in the port guard. Now, achieving full officer status can be done by completing the Advanced Officers Course which is an obstacle course put together by Navy Control and the High Officers. If you do well, then you would most likely be picked in the future for the High Division Officers (Commander, Captain and Commodore). After doing the course, you will have to spar with your partner and then you've graduated to the Full Officer Status.

If you choose to be a Warrant Officer (Sergeant major) you will train the petty officers that have recruited for the infiltration unit. If you choose to be a commissioned Lieutenant, then you will be a division officer. Then, like the other divisions, to be promoted, a vacancy must be available and the previous officer will pick a successor who he/she thinks deserves the position.

Elite Scouts of Arnor
This rank is only opened to Chief Petty Officers who choose not to be Division Officers. Note that NO CPOs FROM THE SAILORS DIVISION WILL BE ALLOWED TO BECOME A SCOUT. This is because the qualifications for the companies of the scout are different to the sailors. Only Marine and Infiltration Seals CPOs will be allowed

There are 2 scout companies. The Scout Marines and the Assasins. To be a Scout Marine, you must have been a marine CPO and nothing else. This is because you have already been trained as a marine and an infiltration seal has none or limited training. To be an assasin, you must have been an infiltration seal and nothing else, the reason likewise as the marine.

You will be given a new senario by a Warrant officer of that division or the standard trainers. After that, its post in the Annuminas Guard a different thread only for the elite scouts that defend Annuminas and Navy Control. There are only two junior ranks. Assasin+assassin 1st Class or Royal Marine Scout (RMS), Royal Marine Scout First Class(RMSFC).

Once your a First Class, there are no petty ranks, so continue to become an officer rank. Take the "Scouts Advanced Officers Course". It is more difficult than the Advanced Officers Course for the Royal Fleet and once completing it, you will be marked out of 10. 7+ and you are a comissioned Lieutenant. Under 7 and you are stuck as a Warrant officer class 2, Sergeant Major, training new scouts.

Then, there's a new rank above Lieutenant. Lieutenant Commander. This rank can only be achieved by an open position. Then, a Commander and Captain both command the two companies.

NPC RODONETH
A tall and slim figure walked into the room. She was clad in the simple grey attire of the Dunedain, with a shaggy looking backpack. The hood was cast back, revealing red hair, that reached half way down her back in soft waves, a freckled hue and green eyes. Brown colour could be found in the woman's hair, and she appeared about twenty years of age. Taking a quill, she filled out the form:

*Name* Rodoneth (Angel)
*Kingdom* Arnor
*Weapons* a longbow with a quiver of arrows, and a longsword of old Numenorean making
*Armour* a chainmail, body armour, a set of bracers and greaves
*Why you want to be in the Navy* I wish to defend the kingdom in any way possible
*Desired Fleet division* Infiltration Seals

[Erkendorn]

Rodoneth, welcome to the Arnorian navy! An Infiltration Seals unit entrance test has not begun yet but i will make sure that you get into the division at once. Thank you and please take this gold-crested helm, used by the elites of the arnorian army, from the second age, may it serve you well, and be it a token of thanks.

I will create an NPC Sergeant major to begin your basic and divisional training. Once it has started, report to the training thread and we will begin
