The Order is a faction started by SirTashingdon in June 2015. It is based around spawn, mostly occupying and repairing the bases of The Empire, which had been destroyed over one year earlier. Like the Empire, the Order is committed to keeping the server active near spawn and welcoming to new players. Membership fluctuates, but it is led by the player SirTashingdon and his allies, who form a consistent core to the team. Many players are sympathetic to The Order, and the group has so far not met any opposition.

History

In June 2015, the player ae0 began repairing Tamarisk, the primary fortress from which Pippenger's Empire attempted to conquer spawn. The castle was in a dismal state at the start of the summer, but within weeks it was transformed into a functioning, aesthetically pleasing base, and more players began to live there.

SirTashingdon was among these players. After starting a small alliance in /world called the mountain lords that came to its dramatic end in a matter of days, he was invited to Tamarisk by ae0. He built a house in the city and assisted with various improvements. He and ae0 returned to /world to develop the only base from the old alliance that was still inact, Frostwall Keep, which featured a large farm that was to be an important asset to The Order. After a trip to the griefed ex-imperial base of Caladan and learning about the Empire, SirTashingdon decided to continue the cause the Empire stood for. The Order was founded in Tamarisk, and with the help of players such as CosmicKeenan and AllSixSix, The Order made further repairs to Tamarisk, as well as to Cosa and Kudzu, other former imperial towns. Sirtashingdon, CosmicKeenan, riproc and Rumpslem used Kudzu as the Order's central base for around a week, forming an alliance with the City State of Vernum, led by The_Fulgurator. SirTashingdon began inviting new players into /world, and brought them to Frostwall, to give them a start at survival, and consider them for the team. The town of Island's Hope was constructed in July 2015 by PackOfMongooses and other members of The Order.In mid June 2015, SirTashingdon and Butterking456 set off on a voyage to claim new lands, and founded Forsta Stad, currently the furthest city of The Order from spawn.

Goals

- To keep imperial bases such as Tamarisk in good repair, and to reclaim lost bases such as Caladan and

 New Caladan. 

- Construction of public farms in /world - To increase early survivability on the server, and give new players a chance. - The team is intended to grow to a large size, and recruits many players.

Current Allies

Tamarisk (allied)

A large imperial base repaired by ae0, and occupied by a mixture of veterans and new players. New members of The Order are likely to be sent here.

Frostwall

Built on top of a snowy extreme hills mountain in /world, the fort and the adjacent Shatterthaw farm are useful for quickly supplying a new base with the basics to get started. The fort was built by SirTashingdon and ae0 just before the mountain lords alliance collapsed.
