Founded by Yuri Ishimu, who was the last priest of New Way of the Dragon. NWotD was itself The Path of the Great Dragon refounded, though it has lapsed into obscurity once again in between the fourth and fifth invasion. Yuri is also the nephew of the late Petr who was martyred in service of The Order.

The two (or three, depends on how you look at it) religions are based on different continents. The lores are very similar in some ways, yet rather opposite in others. The common theme being there was once a mighty dragon that watched over the world, nurturing mankind. The other common theme being a group of men rising up against the mighty dragon. Where they differ is why the group rose up against the dragon and what happened after.

New Way of the Dragon and The Path of the Great Dragon lores state those men felt mankind was held back by the dragon. Whereas The Order lore states the dragon grew tyrannical.

The Order believes the men killed the dragon at great loss, whereas the Path of the Great Dragon believes the dragon allowed the men (or rather, the lady) to strike it down after they suffered great loss. Presumably due to it being immortal, it was said that the dragon continues to watch over men. The New Way of the Dragon believes the dragon merely rebuffed the group without killing any of them, then left mankind to run their own lives with only the occasional guidance.

It's clear that there is much lore lost through the ages. The Draconic Order dedicate itself to seeking out lore and relics of the past. It believes a mighty dragon is out there guiding mankind.
