Night Sentinel
Founded in the Turn 3014[/center]
domestic support
Upon a field of silver fabric, a black quill is embroidered at its center, representing the Domestic Support branch of the Night Sentinel. This branch serves as the Administrative hub of the Sentinel. It conducts all business with the Weyrleaders and serves as the coordinating task force to which all information is passed between the Watches and the Guards.
Whermaster
Current: Kaius & Kaiusk
Just above and to the right of the quill, three slash marks angle upward and toward the right on the armband. This wherhandler and his wher lead the entire Night Sentinel, and are the public face of the wherhandlers to the rest of the Weyr. More importantly, perhaps, they direct the Domestic Support branch, including wherlingmasters, healers/dragonhealers, and anyone deemed levelheaded enough to join the administrative team. This wherhandler is usually a goldhandler or a senior wherhandler.
Wherlingmaster
Current: Kaius & Kaiusk
Just above and to the right of the quill on the armband is a diamond device. In charge of the implementation, creation and revision of the curriculum for wherlings, they have arguably one of the most important jobs.
Support Staff
Just above and to the right of the quill on the armband is a leaf device. These wherhandler pairs are charged with guarding the wherlings and the Whermaster in the event of an attack. They also help coordinate, performing any task passed down to them from the Whermaster.
Current Support Staff:
Vivano & Vivask,
Porita of Blue Posk
Swithin of Blue Swisk
rescue squad
Upon a field of white-stained leather, a red cross is embroidered at its center, representing the Rescue Squad of the Night Sentinel. This branch has intimate knowledge of the weyr structure and is responsible for providing support during night crises. They also deal with some of the structural upkeep of the weyr. Healing is an asset but not required.
Rescue Leader
Current: Max & Maximisk
Just above and to the right of the cross on the armband is a diamond device. In charge of overseeing rescue efforts, he reports directly to the Whermaster in terms of supplies and support needed, any discrepancies that occur on duty and any hazards that might have been discovered. He commands the Rescue Squad, and is second only to the Whermaster to the rest of the Squad.
Rescue Whers
Just above and to the right of the cross on the armband is a leaf device. These wherhandler pairs are charged with aiding wherever needed, rooting out any hazards and responding to any emergencies. They report to the Rescue Leader.
Current Rescue Squad:
Sena & Sensk
night watch
Upon a field of red-stained leather, a white eye is embroidered at its center, representing the Night Watch of the Night Sentinel. This branch patrols the jungles surrounding Selenitas Weyr and entrances to the weyr, marking migratory patterns of potentially dangerous predators and identifying any intruders to report to the Domestic Support Branch.
Watch Cadre
Current Cadre: Yoalla and Yosk
Just above and to the right of the eye on the armband is a diamond device. In charge of the Watch, they command the scouting wherhandler pairs, determining patrol grids and making sure any suspicious or threatening activities are reported to both the Guard and the Domestic Support Branch immediately upon discovery.
WatchWhers
Just above and to the right of the pick on the armband is a leaf device. These wherhandler pairs are charged with patrolling Selenitas Weyr territories. Not only must they be familiar with the region, the wildlife, and the migratory patterns of the beasts, but they also must be capable of moving with stealth and extracting themselves from any sticky situations they may end up in. They report all unusual/dangerous activity to the Watch Cadre.
Current Watch:
Tekivix of Green Tekivisk
night guard
Upon a field of red-stained leather, a white fang is embroidered at its center, representing the Night Guard of the Night Sentinel. This branch is charged with defending Selenitas Weyr and/or investigating suspicious activity reported by the Night Watch.
Guard Cadre
Current Cadre: Roivao of Bronze Roisk
Just above and to the right of the eye on the armband is a diamond device. In charge of the Guard in they command the fighting wherhandler pairs. It falls to them to clear out predators dangerously close to the Weyr and to decide whether or not to engage intruders should they enter into Selenitas territory. If engagement is determined to be the best course, they direct the fighting, keeping in close contact with both the Watch and the Domestic Support branch.
GuardWhers
Just above and to the right of the eye on the armband is a leaf device. These wherhandler pairs are charged with guarding Selenitas Weyr territories. This does not necessarily mean engaging all intruders, though it does mean taking action when action is prudent (at the command of the Guard Cadre). They are the strength of the Night Sentinel, and as such are required to be in top physical and fighting condition should they be needed. They will always obey the command of the Guard Cadre placed above them.
Current Guard:
Piden & Pidesk
Casandra & Casansk
::As a sidenote, wherlings have no rank according to the Night Sentinel. They earn their armband upon graduation. After that, they must 'earn' their leaves, something that typically happens a turn after joining one of the four branches as a member. Of course, meritorious achievement can earn them a leaf earlier...or they may wait longer if they have trouble adjusting to their roles.
