Order of the Three Stars

The Order of the Three Stars is a major organization mostly made up of Stargazers and Astronomers who believe that the will of their God would be shown by the star though most of their day would be fighting and training for the many crusades they would be sent upon their night would become sacred as any holy site. Scripture and Secular writing most documentation would be taken by observing the stars which would suspect times of waging crusades and declaring truces of peace. Another major part of this section of the order would be their holiest weapons of the order would look for special Sky rocks which they suspected were gifts from their god they would use religious chants and even spread the pieces of these off land rocks within the making of steel for each Greatsword, War Axes and their most holy weapons.

Creation and war within Arander
Within the year 210 TE in the Empire of Skorm the Grand Patriarch of the religion had ordered the creation of the Holy Order of Skorm a religious order and military order who would protect the borders of the empire. With this, the Patriarch also declared a great crusade against the Solomonians within the realms of Arander a far distant continent away from Terra. The First Grand Master Luey Hong of the order gave a speech to his knight brothers on the night of the creation of the order and look up into the sky to see a major event in the sky, Three stars would shine a bright red. The Grand Master hinting this as a sign from their god would instead change the Orders name to the Three Stars in honor of their god. With this, the knight of the realm embarked on their crusade to Arander against the Solomonians.

When the Order of the Three Star arrives to Arander they created the base of Longberg and deemed it as their Order Castle. The war in Arander was bloody and the Solomonians were a cunning race. they were able to fight the Three Stars tit for tat on their land but after a 3 year campaign, the Three Stars were able to set up a section of Order Fortresses able to make what they call the Serpent. Though they would win this campaign the First Grand Master Long Huey would pass away from a mysterious illness within Arander though some suspect a Solomonian spy had poisoned the Grand Master his body was buried within Arander with all military honors.

War of the Sun Emporer
In 220 TE, the Order would return to Skorm underneath a New Grand Master Charles Donnerfeste they would find Skorm in a bit of political strife as the past Patriarch of Skorm as passed away while the Three Stars were on campaign and the Emporer of Skorm had tried to consolidate power over the state and church making him a god. The Three Stars would not like this and actually declare a crusade against the Emperor. This would result in the revolution against Robert the Sun Emperor which would last around 20 years in Skorm. Grand Master Donnerfeste would lead his order and the people of Skorm against Robert with his overthrow and his brother Harry who brought back the Patriarchy and in turn brought a Golden Age for the Three Stars.

Golden Age
After the Great Crusade against Robert in 230 TE, the Order would entrench itself into politics who would now actually have the Grand Master as part of the Emperors Council who would advise the Emperor on major section including the religious sector of the nation. This would see the Three Stars using their expertise in banking and engineering who had started to repair and rebuild Skorm while in this time the Order would gain major influence and even almost fully take over Skorm as the de facto rulers of Skorm and even her far long colony in Arander. Though with everything must come to an end and with the passing of Grand Master Donnerfeste then came Grand Master Turmherz who believed the Order should leave away from politics and major events in Skorm politics leading the order to lose power within a nation they has deeply defended.

Bruce Rebellion
With the end of the Order influence in 243 TE came the return of a faction, Bruce of Fresinia a member of Roberts Council who sought to regain some lands of his fallen friend. This would lead to the time of the Great Terror where Bruce would go on a campaign against lords who had supported Harry one of these houses would be Falkenturm underneath Francis Falkenturm his realm would be siege by Bruce of Fresinia which would lead to the entire murder of the Falkenturm except Francis and his last son Franz. Francis would take Franz to an order castle in his realm that was held by his childhood friend Knight Commander Sigismund Adelsburg, which Francis would beg his friend to take son in as his adopted son though to the deep dismay of Grand Master Turmherz who would deem Sigismund adopting Franz as the end of the order. Though Turmherz would actually be the fall of the order he had brought to disaray during the Great Terror.

Dissolution
Ten years would pass wirh Bruce becoming the Emperor of Skorm through his political intrigue and even taking over many houses would lead him to be the most powerful person in Skorm. While this was going Knight Commander Sigismund had been training Franz in the ways of Astrology and Stargazing he would also teach the way of the sword and the many history of the order while also seeing how Bruce had murdered Francis his friend he would see the rest of Franz family disappear though Franz not knowing his last name Sigismund would deem it an essential need for his life and would nickname him Falkenturm calling him the Eagle of his Fortresses. After a couple of years Franz would be ordered to Arander so he could spread the word of their religion while their Turmherz would tell a loyal protégé who he believed would become the next Grand Master about Franz and his actual family. This would lead to the Order's downfall in 245 TE as this protégé would actually be a spy for Bruce who wanted to take control of the order as a piece of his new wars across the continent. Seeing this he would lay siege to the Grand Order Castle. Franz would return and meet Sigismund demanding that he should fight with his Knighy Brothers Sigismund would tell him he need to survive and ordered him to leave on a vessel to the land of the East. Franz would accept the orders from his adopted father and flee, though he would watch the end of the order he had been given as the Grand Order Castle would be set ablaze with everyone inside.

Restoration
After three years of traveling Franz would arrive within Rathnir in 249 TE and become a member of the town of New Roberg underneath its Major and Lord Mars Archambeau he would be adopted into the house. Though Franz would not know his place in life and with his new friend as much of his life had been drenched within stargazing and holy scripture and most of his early childhood had become a blur Franz would still remember home taking the name Falkenturm he would vow to create the order of the Three Star and avenge the destruction of his order against Bruce of Fresinia.

The Great Piligrimage
With Franz vowing to return the order to greatness he would face his greatest rival his friend from Medinae who would suspect he was creating a cult to worship and overthrow King Mars of Medinae. Franz would try to explain to his father why he must do this but did lost listen to his son. Franz would recurit Nostradanus a member of medinae into the order and teach him about it greatness. But overtime Mars would start to question the loyalty of his son even leading to his son leaving Medinae to live in Tek. Their fued would come to a head with Mars vowing that the order was banned within the lands of Medinae and that everyone in Franz family betraying him. Though Fran would feel a stab in the back as most of this was the people he loved and adored he would ask his god to forgive his Father and Mother and the friends he had created. Franz with Nostradanus, Eightwhisper and fellow members of the order would board a vessel leaving their land for a land free from oppresion. Franz would weep seeing his friend abandoned him but Nostradanus would comfort his friend knowing that the lord of Three Star will forgive them someday for their crimes
