Embassy Scribe / Schreiber
Scribes are an integral part of the Blackwood and Realms Embassy in Mythodea. With various diplomatic letters and documents, commercial agreements, bills, finance documents and other letters being written sent and stored regularly, the need for able-bodied scribes is great. Scribes can serve multiple roles depending on the needs of the embassy but are not required to perform any function outside of the writing and logging function should they not desire the added responsibility. Scribes are paid by contract. Master Scribe’s Apprentice Needed!
Die Schreiber sind ein integraler Bestandteil der Botschaft von Blackwood und den Reichen in Mythodea. Da verschiedene diplomatische Briefe und Dokumente, Handelsvereinbarungen, Rechnungen, Finanzdokumente und andere Briefe regelmäßig verschickt und aufbewahrt werden, ist der Bedarf an körperlich gesunden Schreibern groß. Schreiber können je nach den Bedürfnissen der Botschaft mehrere Aufgaben erfüllen, müssen aber keine Funktion außerhalb der Schreib- und Protokollfunktion ausüben, wenn sie die zusätzliche Verantwortung nicht wünschen. Die Schreiber werden vertraglich bezahlt. Meisterschreiber-Lehrling benötigt!
Mercenaries / Söldner
Mercenaries are important to the defense of embassy interests. Providing the money is right, many can be under the employ of the embassy at any given time. Typically a mercenary contract requires that the mercenary wears the East Blackwood sigil when serving. Mercenaries join the Embassy Guard unless special acceptions are made.
Söldner sind wichtig für die Verteidigung von Botschaftsinteressen. Wenn das Geld stimmt, können viele von ihnen jederzeit in den Dienst der Botschaft gestellt werden. Normalerweise verlangt ein Söldnervertrag, dass der Söldner das Ost Blackwood-Siegel trägt, wenn er dient. Söldner schließen sich der Botschaftswache an, es sei denn, es werden besondere Vereinbarungen getroffen

Three Parts of East Blackwood Explained
East Blackwood Embassy
The Embassy members are diplomats either representing the Kingdom of Blackwood or serving as liaisons between the Kingdom of Blackwood and other nations and peoples. Embassy members follow a strict-rank structure starting with the feudal nobility of the Kingdom of Blackwood descending to the simplest of Embassy diplomats and envoys.
Embassy Guard
The Embassy Guard is a private military unit founded by the East Blackwood Company which is owned by Sir Dagger of Blackwood. The military unit's primary purpose is to defend the diplomats, citizens and guests under the banner of Blackwood, provide support to allies of Blackwood and defend the interests of Blackwood and the East Blackwood Company. The Embassy Guard follows a strict-rank structure starting with Sir Dagger of Blackwood who gives mission directives to its first in command, the Commander of the Guard. The Commander of the Guard is responsible for strategy and field command leading their Captains.
East Blackwood Company
The East Blackwood Company is a merchant house lead by Sir Dagger of Blackwood which encompasses different businesses, professions, merchants and sea captains. Each Merchant and Master Trades-person is permitted to hold their own business as long as a share of the profits are returned back to the E.B.Co. All E.B.Co members are given access to E.B.Co resources and contacts within reason and availability. This includes the Embassy Guard. Each Merchant or Master Trades-person can operate freely unless they wish to do businesses on behalf of the East Blackwood Company directly and officially. Only the Master Merchant and Leader of the East Blackwood Company can seal E.B.Co contracts with the official seal of the company. Beyond that, the East Blackwood Company follows a loose and often varied ranks structure.
