Congratulations here is the new banner for the Knights Templar of Antioch.
Miles militis Templum Antioch
Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici
History
The year is 1307. The French King Philip IV, due to his lust for greed and gluttony, has demanded the immediate arrest of all known French Templar and their associates. His Holiness, Pope Clement, pressured and bullied by Philip, released the Pastoralis Praeeminentiae, dissolving the order for all time. All holdings of the Templar's were attacked, and most of the Order were captured and killed. However, a small band of Templar Knights from Antioch managed to escape the rabble, and made it to a ship. These are the remnants of The Order, and from this a New Order will grow.
Ranks
We are first and foremost a brotherhood of men. We refer to ourselves as brothers first, and ranks second.
Like I stated previously, we are first and foremost a brotherhood. When speaking to any fellow Templar, you are to address them as such. You will refer to those outside of the order by their role in society. If they are performing a role that is unambiguous, the term used will be Citizen.(WILL BE REVISING THIS)

Ranks
We are first and foremost a brotherhood of men. We refer to ourselves as brothers first, and ranks second.
Master of the Order - Leaders of a single Order Bastion. Highest given rank at this moment.
Knight of the Crown (Seneschal)-Historically the right hand man and second in charge for the local order. In our case we have such low numbers this will be entrusted to trustworthy individuals whom will be the best in everything they do and defend the lord who ever shall be it.
Knight of the Land (Turcopolier) - Knights who have proven themselves in battle. This rank is given to those who have proven themselves countless times in battle, and who The Master deems worthy to lead men. Historically one of the highest ranks achievable in a military/monastic order by a noble born male.
Knight of the Sword - The mainstay of the New Order, this rank is no longer withheld only to those of noble blood. Any man who shows himself worthy can obtain this rank.
Standard Bearer (Confanonier)- Historically was the man in charge of all the squires and of training. Here is in charge of the economy to include all engineers, doctors and serfs.
Knight Errant– Historically was the backbone of the armed forces but always small in numbers. I don’t see any reason to change this at all.
Squire – A Sergeant who has recently shown the honor and martial skills of a knight, but is in training.
Men-At-Arms - Were Better trained and usually mounted medium cavalry and even at times the body guards for the lower nobles in the Chapter. Here they will be the main guard force and shock troops.
Sergeants - A recruit that has shown signs of growth, but has not yet proven themselves ready for Knighthood.
Lay Servants- The economical backbone of the faction.
Chaplian Brothers - A new recruit to the Order.
Visitors to the Order- temporary members who wish to see how we operate (possible recruits)

things to come are:
how to get promoted, a chart for what equipment each rank can use (yes you will still have choices), a more in depth history( sorry Deo its too short for me), a Faction motto or if you will a code of conduct, a wage system (still working out the finality of this), making a map of our own and either hosting it ourselves or having some one host it for us.
Standard bearer woo!!!
