Order of Saint Margeta
The Order of Saint Margeta is an independent order of Eoni (Peoni) with temples located in the City States of Trikal, Stoval, Assina, and Paolic on the Kachya Island in the Kajerian League. It is unusual in allowing both genders. Like many independent Peonian orders, their practices and beliefs sometimes border on heresy.
The Order is named after Margaret of Trikal, the celebrated, sainted healer, who performed miracles when the Red Death ravaged Karejia between 553 and 563 TR. Her disciples founded it after she died in 566 TR.
Margeta of Trikal was a renowned healer who saved many lives during the darkest days of the Red Death. This deadly plague killed millions in western Lythia and caused much political and economic upheaval. Saint Margeta performed blessings and selflessly tended to the sick, bathing them in an alleged magical healing pond located in an underground grotto. Unfortunately, the grotto's location has since been lost after an earthquake struck the city in 635TR. Sadly, the good, pious Margeta, who led both male and female priests, was so dedicated that she worked herself to an early grave. She was canonized after several miracles were attributed to her.
