 +====== L'Ordre Ésotérique d'Aureon ======
  
 +When a mage joins L'Ordre Ésotérique d'Aureon, he
 +must take a vow to only make use of the mystic arts
 +within the confines of the law and for the purposes
 +of preserving civilization and society.
 +
 +[[Aureon]] is the Sovereign of both Law and Lore,
 +and the founders of the order believed that magical
 +knowledge should always be used in the service of
 +the law.
 +
 +The Esoteric Order is the oldest wizards circle
 +in [[Brelande]], and it helped King [[npc:galifar_i]] spread
 +the rule of law across the nation. The arcanists of the
 +Order fought along side the [[Église de la Flamme d'Argent]] during the [[inquisition_lycanthropique|Purge Lycanthropique]]
 +and led the battle against the twisted
 +wizards of [[Le Cercle Fermé]]. But
 +over the past two centuries, much
 +of the zeal has gone out of the
 +Order. Most members are still
 +lawful, but more and more are
 +lawful evil or lawful neutral.
 +These wizards abide by the rules
 +and traditions of the Order, but
 +many are more interested in the
 +acquisition of gold or power than
 +the preservation of society, and
 +the wizards of the Order demanded
 +a fortune in exchange for their services
 +during the [[Dernière Guerre]].
 +
 +Despite the tarnishing of the Order, the wizards
 +and sorcerers still respect the traditions of the past.
 +One of the most important traditions is the requirement
 +that the wizard know the precise purpose of
 +every spell that he casts, to ensure that his actions
 +do not spread chaos and discord across the world.
 +As a result, the “no questions asked” option is not
 +available when dealing with the Esoteric Order, and
 +a mage may refuse to perform a spell if it serves an
 +ignoble purpose. Because of this reputation, the
 +wizards of the Esoteric Order are widely respected in
 +Breland, and the King’s Citadel and other forces of
 +the crown are more likely to deal with wizards from
 +the Esoteric Order than those associated with [[La Guilde des Étoiles et des Ombres]].
 +
 +L'Ordre Ésotérique d'Aureon currently has
 +179 members spread across Breland. Most are
 +wizards of 1st to 4th level, with a smaller number
 +of sorcerers and Artificiers mixed in. The Esoteric
 +Order also includes 25 5th-level characters, 12
 +6th-level characters, 6 7th-level characters, 3
 +8th-level characters, and 2 9th-level characters.
 +At any given time there are usually 30 to 40 members
 +of the Order in [[Sharn]]; it is rare for there to
 +be more than one 8th- or 9th-level character in the
 +city at the same time. [[Humains]] and Nains make
 +up the majority of the order, though most races
 +are represented; one of the most recent additions
 +to the ranks of the Order is a Guerrier de Fer artificer
 +named Stone (LN male personality Guerrier de Fer
 +artificer 6).
 +
 +While wizards and sorcerers associated with the
 +Esoteric Order can study all schools of magic, the
 +Order focuses on the abjuration, divination, evocation,
 +transmutation, and universal schools. Specialist
 +wizards who wish to join the Esoteric Order must
 +follow one of these schools.
 +
 +The Esoteric Order ofA ureon. Members of the
 +larger of the two societies, the Esoteric Order of Aureon,
 +take a vow to use their talents to preserve and advance
 +civilization and to operate within the confines of the law.
 +The Esoteric Order helped Galifar I maintain the rule of
 +law, and many of its members served Breland during the
 +Last War. Although its members aren't prohibited from
 +studying any form of magic, the specialties of the order
 +are abjuration, divination, and evocation magic. Wizards
 +and artificers are almost always welcome in the guild.
 +Sorcerers must prove their grasp of arcane theory to
 +earn a place, and warlocks are rarely accepted as members.
 +The hall of the Esoteric Order of Aureon is in the
 +district of Clifftop in Upper Dura.
