Fortress is divided into to parts Acolytes & Scribes on one side, and Marans & Squires on the other. Scribes and Squires are the initial rank upon entrance.

You only need to have an evil pk to be a squire, and that epk must me where you got the killing blow.

Acolytes are protecters of light and Marans are vanquishers of evil. Pick your poison and adapt and blend as you desire for your character's story.
