Warbanner

Warbanners are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual Dark Jedi on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the Warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans or those that hold a Clan title. Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the Herald. Under no circumstances is a member to design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, as they are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.

Warbanner Example

A warbanner has a wide variety of options. Fabric colors, shapes, stripes and support rail colors unlock as you progress through the ranks of the Brotherhood, as well as other options being available to you based on positions served and Society ranks such as the Grand Master's Royal Guard and the Shadow Academy Society.

Warbanner options unlock at the following tiers of rank:

• Journeyman 6-7 (Guardian-Jedi Hunter, Defender-Padawan)
• Journeyman 8-Equite 1 (Dark Jedi Knight-Equite 1, Jedi Knight-Equite 1)
• Equite 2-Equite 3
• Equite 4
• Elder-Grand Master

When you request your warbanner, you will be asked to provide a crest. Your crest is a personal symbol that represents you. Certain copyrighted materials may be denied as crests, as well as the use of unit logos - these may be represented on your warbanner in other ways, but you do not own your unit logo (and can therefore not use it as a personal symbol).

Warbanner Colors

Each rank tier unlocks new warbanner colors for use, in addition to all previously unlocked choices available for your choice of Dark Path or Light Path.

• Dark Side members may use red, purple or blue at Guardian-Jedi Hunter. Light Side members may use teal, green or yellow at Defender-Padawan.
• At Knight rank and Equite 1, more options are available in addition to previous choices. Dark Side members add green, yellow and orange. Light Side members add red, blue and orange.

Additional Options

There are a wide variety of additional options that allow for further customization of your warbanner.

• A warbanner tasset is a small medal that indicates membership in certain societies. You must meet the minimum requirements to request them as stipulated below:
  • Grand Master's Royal Guard: Rank I
  • Shadow Academy Society: Rank I
  • Antei Combat Center: Qualified
  • Order: Jedi Knight/Dark Jedi Knight
• A warbanner medallion is a larger version of a tasset that holds a Clan or House logo. Members that have served as Aedile or higher for 3 months, or Rollmaster, Battleteam Leader or Praetor for 6 months, and/or hold a Clan title, may request a medallion.
• Background patterns are further available to add more depth to the warbanner.
  • Grand Master's Royal Guard: Rank IV
  • Shadow Academy Society: Rank IV
  • Clan or House patterns are available if you meet the requirements for a medallion. You may request either a medallion or unit pattern, but not both.
• Members of Equite 2 rank or above may request an Order-specific warbanner. These warbanners do not have customization options such as stripes and colors, but these unique warbanners may have minor customisations to specific elements on the banner itself. These requests must be emailed directly to the Herald or Praetor. Currently Order warbanners are restricted to Dark Side members only.
• A warbanner Sash is reserved for members of the Dark Council or the Dark Summit, and their staff. They are given in the warbanner color and with the trim selected for the warbanner support. The left Sash holds the position and the right Sash holds the office the position is/was held in. Only members who have served six months or more in these positions may request Sashes.
