The Stargazers

As far as anyone knows, this knightly order finds its missions and quests by studying the stars. Only its inner circle knows of the prophecy that truly guides the members. The Stargazers clearly stand out from other orders because they are a secret order, they specifically recruit their members personally and most people need to know someone within the order to be recruited. However their is a series of secret trails that individuals must complete in order for them to grant a chance to join, they obey the laws of magic and study the laws in magic for them to be followed. The Stargazers' reputation for being in the right place at the right time draws many to them. Others seek out Stargazers chapters because of the groups reputation for disrupting evil. The Stargazers consider those who undertake their missions but don't join as part of the outer circle. Members of the outer circle are simply adventurers known to the Stargazers for fighting evil and amenable to the Stargazers' missions. Most members don't realize they belong! Knights from the middle circle contact outer circle adventurers and offer them missions or quests. Occasionally they will lead such adventures. If anyone asks how the Stargazers decided to undertake a quest, the response is that they observe the movements of the stars in the night sky and interpret those movements. Outer circle adventurers have no obligations to the Stargazers and may refuse any mission for any reason. The Stargazers choose their members carefully to the outer circle without prejudice against race, class, alignment, or any other characteristic its mainly morality and strength. The Stargazers' quests generally don't appeal to those with evil mindsets, though.
