The Orders

Ok, so the setting of my current campaign has several orders of mages living within it. While some things are fundamentally the same across them all, others are radically different.

The current orders are: -

• The White Sun,
  
• The Black Moon,
  
• The Orange Flame,
  
• The Blue Wave,
  
• The Golden Sword,
  
• The Purple Dream
  

You will notice a lack of The Crimson Soul, this is because the rest of the magical world doesn’t know they are back yet! Well lets now have a quick run down of the character of each of these orders.

The White Sun.
This is the order with the most members, its also one of the most powerful. The White Sun are the self appointed police of the magical world. They believe, fanatically, that they have the right to punish those breaking the laws. Laws which they themselves impose. The order of the White Sun was responsible for the destruction of the Crimson Soul in 1782.

The Black Moon.
This order is small in size, but the members are some of the most powerful mages in existence making its power on a par with the White Sun. The order itself is matriarchal in structure as well as being two tiered in ranking – those born within the order above those who have joined from outside. Fortunately for many the Black Moon doesn’t really give a damn about any one else and keep themselves to themselves.

The Golden Sword.
Crusaders is a good way to describe this group. They hold themselves to a higher purpose and laws than those of the mundane world. Many members of this group have made agreements with the Angelic and its even rumoured that divine blood run in their veins.

The Orange Flame.
Almost all members of the orange flame have skills in the Elementalist discipline which is appropriate as there main dealings are with Elementals. Members of the Orange Flame bind elementals of fire & earth to their service as well as make bargains with the greater elemental beings of fire.

The Blue Wave.
This order is the counter and balance to the Orange Flame. Again most members will have some skill as Elementalists, but its is water & air that is bound to their service. The bargains and pacts of the Blue Wave are with the powerful entities of water.

The Purple Dream
The strangest order of them all. The members of the purple dream have abilities beyond all others when it comes to the human racial sub consciousness. They can call into reality things from man’s greatest fears and desires. The rumours go that the more powerful members of this order can even travel into the group mind of non human creatures both mundane and supernatural.

So that is an overview of the magical orders in my game. In my next post on the chronicle I will go over the main supernatural entities that exist within the setting.
