We do not award promotions for donations. You must earn your promotions by displaying loyalty and leadership potential.
We have two promotional paths - Domestic (internal) and Foreign (external).
Below are our ranks and their attendant responsibilities/requirements.

They can offer training assistance to lower levels. Sergeants can bring to the recruiters attention any potential new members.
At this point, Sergeant's will be assessed as to their strengths and can either enter the Domestic or Foreign path of leadership. Domestic refers to matters dealing inside the alliance and Foreign will work with matters on the server and with other alliances and our branches.
