Shienar Testing System

Shienar Testing System

All members of Shienar achieve rank in the unit through performing tests which demonstrate their skill in many aspects of Dagorhir combat. Members have the freedom to take different combinations of tests, achieving proficiency in skills of their choice. This is because the survival and success of any soldier depends on not only combat prowess, but also his/her diversity of skills and ability to adapt to any situation. At the same time, Shienar recognizes that no two individuals are the alike, and therefore would never impose a specific style of combat to any member of the unit.

Each test has three levels of difficulty, and completing a level earns an amount of Rank Points equal to its difficulty rating (1 for Level-1, 2 more for Level-2, and 3 more for Level-3).

Upon obtaining a certain amount of Rank Points, as well as fulfilling the other criteria listed in the Ranks section, a member will be promoted to the appropriate title within Shienar.

Members of Shienar may attempt any test once per day at a unit gathering, be it a practice or an event, to a maximum of three different tests per day.

All opponents in any given test are chosen by the Captain and Lieutenant(s) of Shienar, keeping in mind the idea to present a fair challenge to the person taking the test.
