I... think there are a few groups of warriors and such that work together for hired jobs and that sort of thing. Something like a mercenary group. Not quite sure what it is they do, but it's a start perhaps. There's a little bit about them in the guide for New Feathers, if I'm not mistaken, if you wanted to contact them anyway. Although, they may just contact you on their own.
True... I'm probably a poor judge but... [Chuckles] You know, it's probably just saving cats from trees, quieting noisy neighbors, looking for the occasional lost party who wandered into the forest. That sort of thing. Mercenaries don't only need to fight, right? But. Well, it's just an idea. I'm certainly not part of any of those groups, after all.
A reason why... Oh! Why I'm not part of those groups? It's a little hard to explain. But! To put it simply, I'm on vacation.
Of course, if any real trouble ever came up, I'd be more than willing to lend a helping hand, but for just the everyday sort of thing... Well, it's nice to just relax for a change.
Yes, it was... for a while. Now I find I have more time than I know what to do with. [This is a blatant lie. Van has never had, and never will have, more time than he knows what to do with. He has some use for every second of every day of his life. At the moment, that use is playing nice and helpful.] It only seems fitting to offer it to others.
Well, yes. There is that. But I don't mind the extra time. A little boredom never hurt. And I likely won't be able to complain about boredom for a long while after I'm sent home.
No, I can't say boredom is a luxury I'd have then, either. [It's a bit odd, maybe, to refer to boredom as a luxury; but just the life of a man overseeing a large standing force left little spare time to be had, let alone including all of Van's other activities.] In the cathedral, there was always some matter to attend to.
[He'll just leave his other activities unmentioned, yes?]
The Oracle Knights, the military wing of the theocratic state of Daath. [Which is a lot of fancy words to get around the way "Order of Lorelei" still sticks painfully in his throat.]
Oracle Knights, now that's quite the title. Certainly MUCH more creative.
But it sounds.... rather similar. I apologize, I'm probably being a bit vague. I asked because in Thedas... we might have something similar. Of course I... really don't know anything about your Oracle Knights. But. I was just. Curious. They're probably nothing alike, after all.
[Oh. But. That wasn't him rambling. Ummmmmmmm.... hmn...]
Not... particularly. It's just interesting to hear how different and yet really similar some worlds can be. But! I've side tracked us.
Anyways! If you don't think those sorts of organizations about here suit you. Why not make your own? That... could always work just as well. And you could do something else with it too. Since, all of the kittens in trees and lost items and people will already be taken care of by the other groups. Not too bad of an idea, right?
Certainly it would receive some interest, new or otherwise. You'd need to have a direct purpose and maybe offer joining of new members, but if you had those, I'm sure people would at least look into it.

If you... don't mind my asking. What sort of military were you apart of?

If you want to know more, I don't mind explaining. I did just announce that I'm a soldier for everyone to hear.
