| + | When a mage joins L' | ||
| + | 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]], | ||
| + | the rule of law across the nation. The arcanists of the | ||
| + | Order fought along side the [[Église de la Flamme d' | ||
| + | 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' | ||
| + | 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; | ||
| + | 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, | ||
| + | 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. | ||
