The Order
Introduction
The Order has two aspects, spiritual and physical. The spiritual aspect is the religious organization known as The Order (a guild) and its physical aspect is The Order of Ered Luin (an in game RP element with no actual guild).
Order serves two purposes, overcoming the fear of chaos, while teaching and encouraging the mind. The purpose of these beliefs is to reassure us that we have nothing to fear from chaos, and that the human spirit cannot be free until the mind and body have become one.
To become one of mind and body, one must understand the balance of life and good versus evil. This is the Order’s goal, to bring an understanding of balance to the 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. Only couple of our Temples has been burned or sacked during our time. Temple at Lothruin has been burned by evil member of MS-reliogion. The Order had a magnificent Temple at Barad Falas but Duchess Renee Quasath showed his true colors.She Killed guards and robbed its treasury only 1400 gold ,before sacking it. Cowardly she did leave Atamara without saying anything to Beluaterra where she will continue to harm anyone,just like a snake . It should be wise to send a warning to every Noble of Heen that this witch cannot be trusted. These kind of actions does really show how evil ones act and we must keep on fighting them.
