QUOTE : Small pioneer towns were often collections of men that believed in similar ideas,prayed to the same God, and brought their families along to build civilization on the plains or desert. They had to trust one another with their lives and their families' lives. These men had set roles to play, but could trust in one another to defend the territory and respect each other's rights and privileges. Just as not all men can be warriors, priests, or scholars, the Männerbund allows for specialization and a network of skilled and reliable men. A hierarchy will form and plans can be executed because order is found within the Männerbund.
