Order of Celestial

About the Order

The Order of Celestial consists of questing Knights and Companions. They are headed by a Grand Master, and one Companion holds the position of Knight Confessor, an individual to whom other members can go for advice and confidential discussion. There are three Masters (of Arms, Physik and Thought). These were originally the heads of the three parts of the Order, but the titles are now used to bestow honour, not rank. Each Knight also has one or more Squires, who are preparing to enter the Knighthood, and who, on successful completion of their training are knighted by the Grandmaster.

The Knights follow what is Good before all else. This means that they are often outspoken and occasionally come into verbal conflict with other groups over the fictional "necessary evil", but even their opponents have come to respect their integrity, commitment and sense of duty. Lacking the more formal structures, and severe outlooks of some units, the Order strives ceaselessly to put right what once went wrong, to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to leave Eredreja in a better state than they found it in. Based at their recently re-built Chapterhouse on Tamarus, the Lantian Isle of Duty, most of the Order serve within the Lions faction, but their members can be found wherever their ideals hold true.
