Order of the Aurora

Overview
The Order of the Aurora is a military organization that serves the Kingdom of Aurora, a nation located in the realm of Rathnir. The Order was founded during the Auroran Exodus, a historical event in which the Order of the Aurora left their homeland of Escharia and established a new kingdom on the continent of Haven.

Throughout its history, the Order of the Aurora has played a crucial role in shaping the identity and unity of Aurora. It has won numerous victories in conflicts such as the Northport War and the Allium-Coalition War.

At its peak, the Order of the Aurora was one of the most successful and powerful military forces in Rathnir, exerting influence over many foreign conflicts. It still plays a key role in maintaining security and stability within the Kingdom of Aurora. However, in recent years, the Order has declined in size and activity due to a decline in population in Rathnir and a prolonged period of peace in Aurora. Despite this, it remains a formidable military force capable of defending the Kingdom of Aurora.

The Secession and Arkeren Estorii
On 12/16/2020, some members of the Order of the Aurora stationed on the isle of Tessel, attempted a secession from the Escharian Empire and to claim Tessel as their own and to form the Kingdom of the Aurora. Shortly after delivering their document to Irastre SikkeOst, they were soon attacked by ViewedMarquis. The fight was drawn out and many casualties on the side of the Order were accounted for. After being forced off Tessel, the Order moved to the far South-West in an attempt to rebuild and continue their pledge to the world, to protect against Tyranny, Undead, Hellgrowth, and any/all forces of Evil.

Most of the members stationed on the mainland decided to stay loyal to the old Escharian Empire and were eventually integrated into the Ordre Zatrefels, who worked under the Imperial Crown but fought abroad in times of peace. The Ordre Zatrefels under Veriss would become the Arkeren Estorii (Arkeren Retainers/Guard), who would protect the Imperial Court with their last breath. Upon the Ascension, the last members would disappear forever.
