Order of the Aurora

Overview
The Order was established 300 years ago after the southern incursion. The incursion started with a decisive Imperial defeat at the Battle of the Braunfels against hordes of the blighted lead by a demon, Vrizshak. In this battle an Escharian King along with a Vendare Prince fell to the hordes of demons, losing their Knights. The survivors and fleeing civilians rallied at Gentumar and defeated the hordes after being reinforced by the Escharian and Castrillan Kingdoms. One folk hero who helped rally people was Miri. After this Gentumar was built and the Order of the Aurora was founded in the Nieden.

The Orders fortresses eventually fell into disrepair until they were once again revived by Emperor Siegfried and Cardinal Ortwin Aurelius.

The main goals of the order is to help those in need and stick up for those who have difficulty defending or supplying themselves. As well as mediating diplomacy while supporting the Empire.

Current Management

Gentumar

The Secession

Shortly after delivering their document to Kaiser SikkeOst, they were soon attacked by ViewedMarquis. The fight was drawn out and many casualties on the side of the Order were accounted for.
