/П-п-п-п-п-п-п-п-п-п-п-П
When scales of existence/
Unbalanced become
And wardens of stone
To darkness succumb

When unravelled are
The threads of fate
And bellows open
Of Chaos gate

A wall of shields
In peril unified
So join if you can

Brief Description:
The current Order is a revival of an old organization that once thrived in Altalsia.
Though having different aspirations and goals, its members are united under a single purpose.
With means combined, they wage war, against not an enemy...
But The Enemy - Chaos itself
Balance is our blade!

How we Rule Ourselves:
To the Order, you are tied only as much as you will yourself to be.
However, treat your comrades with respect - and they will do so as well.
Do not do to them, what you do not wish done on yourself.
Consort with your fellows, but rely on your own judgement.
Seek agents of imbalance, be they people, objects, or occurrences.
End them where they stand. With blade or healing hand.
Keep the world from deathly stillness - as well as chaotic motion.


Who we Seek:
A man alone, can't hope to to possess all weapons needed to combat our foe.
Warriors - For it is behind your shields and arms that we will stand, as they endure dauntless.
Magicians - In your wisdom, will we rely when the enemy employs arcane means.
Warlocks - Know your enemy, and know their blade, so lend us your knowledge.
Rogues - When our enemy strikes from darkness, our own shadows will be there to welcome them.
Healers - War cares not for the injured, but that is a chaos in itself, and only you have the means to combat it.
The Agents of Chaos cast a wide net, so we must cast one wider.
No man exists that can not offer at least a shoulder of comfort - for ours is a lonely vigil.

How to Join:
Shoot me a message here, and we can figure a means of contacting, and the RP that follows.
Likewise, you can seek out a man named Hanzo out.
There will be some in the square that know him.

[i]Q/A Regarding the Organization[/i]
1.) Is the Order an actual organization?
No, The Order is not a guild in the true sense of the word.
It is a loose hub of people that may (or may not) share the same goals in mind.
If a matter is at hand, the members would gather and discuss how best to deal with it.
Naturally, the composition of its members would ensure the end decision is one that is balanced.

2.) What would a prospective member be entitled to? What are their obligations?
As a member, you agree to provide your services and skillset to your comrades.
In turn, you are entitled to their own services.
As was noted above, you don't need to be in possession of, or be very skilled in anything in particular.
The thing we value the most is perspective.
Speaking of perspective, the only true obligation one would have, is to attend Moot.

3.) How does The Order benefit from having members of colourful backgrounds?
True balance can only be achieved by having multiple perspectives regarding different matters.
These can only come by having people both "good" and "evil".

4.) What is a Moot?
A Moot is a council called where every member is supposed to present their thoughts on a given matter.
The priority of such matters is decided by the members as a collective.
As everyone's opinion is taken into account, a solution is thus constructed.
Those with the needed skills are sent to enforce it.
