Rank Advancement System
Words count for nothing until trust is earned through doing.
So the bastion Guard has a structure where trust is earned through doing and building ones own abilities.
Praise is given where praise is due and the same is true of respect. By working your way up the ranks you gain respect from other through recognition of what you have done and who you must be to of done them. Character. Your character speaks before you do and your rank in the Bastion Guard is proof of your character. Respect is not given freely to anyone, it is earned by someone.
