The Order

Introduction

There are two types of people, religious and non-religious. However, if you want to join the religious side of our cause join The Order. Non-religious people seeking the same things but without the central religious organization, then the right place for you is The Order of Ered Luin. Both sides of our Order will work together, but it is you who will make the final decision.

The Order also has two sides, physical and spiritual. The Order and The Order of Ered Luin. The Order serves two purposes: Overcoming the fear of chaos, and teaching and encouraging the mind. The purpose of these beliefs is to reassure us that we have nothing to fear from chaos, and to assure ourselves that human spirit cannot be free until the mind and body has become as one.

To become one of mind and body, one must understand the balance of life and of good and evil. This too is our goal, to bring the understanding of balance to this world and its people.

History

The Order was founded by Zadar Nargath in Tarasac, Cagilan Empire, only days before the start of the Butter Rebellion. In fact, were it not for Zadar Nargath's retirement as Duke of Tarasac, One Rogala would never have had the chance to buy his dukeship and start the rebellion.

A detailed account of the rediscovery of the The Order of Ered Luin, the beliefs of which create the basis for The Order, can be found here.

Also, the ancient history of The Order was long considered a legend by the people of the Drachenwald mountains, until now. We've compiled what we believe is the most accurate account of The ancient history of The Order.

Newspaper

The Elder Telemechus Barthalemus is the editor of our newspaper. It is called The Tai Lo Monthly. He is assisted by Petr Ishimu and Jose Dela Cruz.

Temples and Shrines

The original temple of The Order is located in Tarasac, Atamara, and lies on top of The Order of Ered Luin guildhouse. There is also a shrine located in the outskirts of Tarasac that merchants and travellers visit to pray for blessings on their numerous journeys. Temples can also be found in all current cites of CE and Tara, as well as many other regions. New temples and shrines are being constructed as the faith spreads, giving The Order's followers a place to focus themselves and be cleansed of evil.
