(This will be last of the orders ranks, then I'll get started on the actual book chapters.)

Scribes

Scribes are tasked with creating and keeping records of the technology recovered and used by the Order and experimenting with new weapons and other useful devices to be used in the field by the knights and paladins. Scribes rarely leave the safety of the order fortifications, but they are sometimes called into the field to examine a piece of technology or perform a task beyond the skills of the Order soldiers. The attitude of many scribes in the Order can be described as techno-centric. While a great number study history and cultures, the majority of scribes focus their studies on subjects related to the acquisition, repair, or creation of technology.

Scribes are also assigned to educate young Teutonic Order members. Their teachings involve the principles of science, including, chemistry, and combat tactics There are three major scribe orders: each is headed by a proctor, designated by the head scribe.

• The Order of the Sword is responsible for weapons research and development. Guns, ammunition anything of an offensive nature.

• The Order of the Shield is responsible for defensive research. Tanks, defensive structures, anything that is intended to protect.

• The Order of the Quill preserves the written knowledge of the ancients, seeking out all manner of books, and videotapes.

Head scribe

The head scribe is the highest-ranking civilian class of the Teutonic order . The head scribe is responsible for choosing which scribes work on which project and which scribes should be assigned to each order. The head scribe also chooses the proctors of each order and must also oversee the projects each order is working on. The head scribe is a highly intelligent person who has mastered the orders of the Sword, Shield, and Quill, and may also take on a project of their own interest, as Head Scribe Rothchild did with the Liberty Prime project. The head scribe is one of the people who must attend the meetings with the high elder, elder council, generals, head paladin, and head knight. The head scribe reports to the high elder and Elder Council only.

Proctor

The proctors oversee and approve of each project that the scribes in their order are working on, and assign the proper scribes to the right projects. Each proctor must report to the head scribe, which assigned them to their respective order, on each project, and to get approval to move ahead with a new project. They often work on their own projects, which are usually completed very quickly because the proctor can prioritize them and assign senior scribes to them.

Senior scribe

Senior scribes are some of the most advanced scribes. They are always chosen for the most important projects and are the next in line to become proctors of orders when the old proctor retires or dies. They often take on the most promising journeyman scribes to be their apprentices and choose what order they should be in (usually, it is the same order that the senior scribe is in). Senior scribes teach their apprentices everything they know and will continue to teach them until they are nearly senior scribes themselves. On rare occasions, the senior scribe will be promoted to head scribe and their apprentice to proctor. When this occurs, the apprentice will be given special treatment and the elders usually separate the two to remove any impression of impropriety.

Journeyman scribe

(This rank is typically referred to as just Scribe.)
Scribes are tasked with creating and keeping records of the technology used by the Order. The attitude of many scribes in the Order can be described as techno-centric. While a great number study history and culture, the majority of scribes focus their studies on subjects related to the acquisition, repair, or creation of technology.

Archivist

An archivist is a position used by August Wilhelm's order. Little is known of their role inside the Teutonic order other than they can work with and directly report to the elder on matters assigned to them, and have a highly scientific skill set, capable of parsing energy readings and determining the source and possible purpose.
