Náhda-Order ([naxda])

Founded by King Bartolj II. and first Grandmaster Artan es Radicz in 2363 the first task of the "Order of the Crimson Star" was to build an elite force of knights and sorcerers to lead the Morawian army in their conquest of Altvania and Burgaland. With Northern resistance during the Transvanian campaign being more fierce than expected and the emergence of Blood and Dark Elves, Lycranthropes and other abominations in the East of Tarell the main focus was shifted to cleansing the North of heretics, necromancers and monsters.
Recruiting from aristocratic families and lowborns alike, the order knows how to utilize its members skills in both espionage and battle. Usually travelling in groups of three or four, the highly trained teams are deployed all over the continent. Although the order is quite wealthy, being partially funded by the Morawian king, owning several holdings all over the kingdom and receiving donations from believers, members are only provided with the most essential equipment and need to upgrade their gear with their own gold.
Members are taught to put the well-being of the order above anything else. This is to prevent racially motivated fights and conflicts within the order. Although the order legally owes fealty to the King of Morawia, its High Council does everything in its power to ensure the members' loyalty belongs to them.
Led by the Grandmaster, the most experienced and decorated members are made Masters of the Council, who decide over any actions deemed necessary to ensure the success of missions, but first and foremost the survival of the order. Once a Grandmaster dies, the Council holds the Great Seclusion to put a new leader into place.
