Formerly a large mercenary group that was hired by the king of Ethalia to be a part of his conquering force. Their prowess in battle and tactical expertise were augmented by regular shipments of rations and weapons to make them more than they could ever be as simple mercenaries. They were hired repeatedly until they eventually just became a major part of the royal army.
Though the Order itself is loyal to the crown, many members and leadership in the Order retain a memory of their less lawful days and still seek for individual profit. Others, usually newer members of the order, are strictly loyal to the crown and filled with patriotism. The King seems to know of this divide however as he has never promoted someone from the Order to the Crownguard. A fact of which certain members of this faction are well aware.

Considered among the most honorable of the Order, these soldiers make up the military prowess that often create the final shadows of their enemies. Sellswords by nature, they will abide by contracts they deem fitting of their unknown goals. Some call them usurpers, others the bastard children of Ethalia but no one can question their results. By their word, it was their armor and blades that the kingdom found its foothold. The Everglade will prove no different.

This insidious guild of cutthroats and deadly herbalists are beholden to nothing but the coin and the kill. To seek them out is to imbibe poison and know your enemy will die. Their contracts are sealed with the upfront payment of your blood. Rumors say this is to aid them in finding you when the deed is done so they may collect the true payment they desire: your gold… or your life.

Once a mere dragon cult, the Embers now stand beside the Order of the Blood Lily, lending their magical prowess to their martial mastery. They are currently attempting to curry favor with the king for the Order by imposing law on what they see as a chaotic Vespririan. In the background some have taken to worshipping Vis Perpituus, idolizing his ability to force its will on the world. They are the order to chaos and while Ethalia was their place of birth, Versperian will be their home.
Description: Each player who is a member of the Embers may cast the Truth spell without a rune cost once per day without the need for the skill.
