(From The Desk Of Kieran Darkwater)




Precious Colleagues of Mine,

        It has come to my attention that due to a commotion at the last inn we stayed at, I forgot to attach the detailed descriptions of the council in my previous letter. Apparently some innkeeper's find it acceptable to bring you mushroom soup for dinner when you have expressly forbidden any such fungus from you dining area. Let it be known that it will be quite a while before I return the the Scalded Cauldron for another meal. Back to the topic on hand though, I believe that the descriptions provided below will be an acceptable initial form of the duties for the ranking members of the Equality Brigade Guild.

                                                               Signed Your Perpetually-Revered Friend,

                                                                                                 Kieran Darkwater

Council of Six: This is the governing body of the guild known as the Equality Brigade. Their function is to oversee the daily routines and processes of the guild to ensure smooth operations throughout the organization. Each member of the Council takes on one of the senior duties described in the hierarchy of EB.

Archivist: The Archivist is in charge of: collecting, recording, transcribing, and the safe storage of all books/literature/writing/scrolls/lore that the guild members happen to collect throughout their adventures in Faerun. These are to be used to further advance the knowledge and abilities of the Brigade to ensure our goals are being achieved.

Envoy: The Envoy is the Brigade’s liaison with any influential members of foreign entities. This may include, but is not limited to: foreign dignitaries, faction leaders, law enforcement officials, or any other groups that may wish to be in contact with our burgeoning company.

Quartermaster: The Quartermaster is in charge of maintaining the Brigade’s supply network. This includes: ensuring overall quality in armaments and armor, ensuring ample supplies of food are prepared for any expeditions that members of the Brigade might venture, and storage and inventory of all miscellaneous items that might fall into the jurisdiction of the Brigade (i.e. trade goods, non-magical adventuring equipment, and misc items).

Secretary: The Secretary is in charge of facilitating all of the necessary paperwork and administration duties within the Equality Brigade. This ensures that members will have proper documentation for travel between cities and kingdoms, as well as ensuring that the proper protocols are being followed and enforced within the association.

Taskmaster: The Taskmaster’s duties are to look after the lower ranking members of the Brigade and the auxiliary units that comprise the network of associates that we may have collected. The Taskmaster: delegates jobs to lower ranking members, ensures any retainers that we may have are actively assisting in the advancement of the Brigade’s objectives, and ensuring all animals under the property of the Brigade are well fed and fit for any required duties that they may have.

Treasurer: The Treasurer’s duties are to ensure that the fiscal properties of the Brigade are being properly managed and safely stored. This includes any guild supplies that are equivalent to monetary funds (i.e. cp, sp, ep, gp, pp, jewelry, ore, precious stones/gems, etc.). The treasurer ensures the proper user and growth of the funds reserve by establishing a set percentage from any loot found during adventures to the Brigade Diversity Fund, which is at the expenditure of the Council of Six to use as they see fit to further the Brigade’s cause.

Executor: The sole purpose of the Executor is to resolve any stalemates that may come into conflict during decisions made by the Council of Six. A new Executor is chosen, randomly, every six months and must be one of the current Council of Six. No Executor may be chosen twice in a row but may serve as many time as they like throughout their time on the Council.
