Orders

Orders are an Antharean concept that was brought to Crygnos along the great migrations. An Order is a collection of families who have sworn fealty to the patriarch or matriarch of the Order. Lesser Orders will be a part of Greater Orders. Greater Orders generally serve the King directly, and the Heads of their Orders are often also Lord-Governors. While the Valusians, Rymians, and Mestirmers practiced the concept of Orders to begin with, the Miles, Sodians, and certain enclaves of Druids adopted it. There are a little more than a hundred Orders in the Sovereignty.

Most Orders have a Duke as the Head of the Order, however this is not always the case and certain Knights have been awarded their own Order.

Orders of the Pantheon
The Orders of the Pantheon are distinctive holy orders sanctioned by the Temple of the Pantheon. Members of the Orders of the Pantheon have relinquished their rights to bear the name of their original Order, and are barred from inheritence. They are mostly holy warriors who answered the call to protect the settlements of Port Cain and Port Avatus, and seek to reclaim the Sadroli desert, which they see as the birthplace of the Antharean religion and their rightful land.
