"The Order of the Vetrium is the embodiment of people united by creed and fuelled by passion to protect the freedoms we hold dear on the isles. We are the shield of the people, and we will not crack until the last stones are swallowed by the sea."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"Through over a decade of service dedicated to the Astrum Isles primarily through the Vetrium, it has come to my attention that there was little to nothing left of the last guard. As with all things that change with time, so too will the Vetrium. However, I write this book in hopes future lore-keepers of the Vetrium might look back on my words and remember our purpose. May our Maiden keep you."

- Captain Drew Swift

+ = = Creed of the Vetrium = = +
“I hereby swear my service to the Order of the Astrum Vetrium. I pledge to uphold myself with integrity, valour, and honor in the line of duty to the people. Under the Mother’s guidance, I stand proud among the ranks.”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Originally commissioned by the ruling house Tekton; the Vetrium serves as a shield of the people, and the living law to ensure the stability of the Astrum Isles.



Integrity holds the ranks of our order to standard,
to a strength of self so to match the strength of our whole.



Valour and pride in the fact we are granted our station to serve
the people. It is ours to fight to our last that Astrum may endure.



Honor in our strength and must remain in every aspect,
may we may use it to prevent violence wherever possible.


While focusing heavily on martial subjects, it is important to remember the purpose of the order is primarily to be keepers of the peace.

“Treat your kit with care, practice with it, maintain it, respect it; it'll return the favour."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


While the equipment of the Vetrium must be flexible to suit different purposes as needed in the ranks, the following list serves as a basic guideline of what should be provided to each member.

- Tapered steel shortsword or arming sword

- Heavy Glaive or Bardiche

- Gambeson/reinforced leather

- Steel chest guard

- Steel arm plates

- Steel shin plates

- Astremian Shield

-Medium crossbow

Short and medium range melee should be covered, a missile weapon should be carried, and a shield of at least nine inches in width should be kept.

All issued armor of the order should bear the house colours of Astrum in purple and green primarily. As of the time of writing this, these colours are borne proudly on painted stripes.
