Apprentice

The lowest and, some would say, most vital rank in The Order of Binders.

Usually young men and women learning the craft, apprentices start from as young as 6 years of age. Some apply, some are volunteered by their parents, and some are scouted by the Order directly as a result of possessing natural talent.

Qualifications

A willingness to learn, and a sworn contract with a Master or higher to act as their tutor.

Requirements

Each individual Master is permitted - and encouraged - to use their own discretion when it comes to requirements for their own apprentices.

Duties

To obey and learn from their tutor, to uphold the general spirit of The Order of Binders' laws.

Benefits

An education in the arcane.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

An apprentice may be stripped of their apprenticeship and dismissed by their tutoring Master only if three other Masters lend their support.
This action is almost unheard of - The Order does not let "unfinished" people simply roam free with the power to do harm, but not the wisdom to control it.
