The Order was a faction started by SirTashingdon in June 2015. It was based around Spawn, mostly occupying and repairing the bases of The Empire, which was destroyed over one year before The Order formed. Like the Empire, the Order was committed to keeping the server active near spawn and welcoming to new players. Membership fluctuated, but it was led by the player SirTashingdon and his allies, who formed a consistent core to the team.

In October 2015, The Order suffered a major setback when the capital city was destroyed. SirTashingdon swore allegiance to AllSixSix, and The Order was incorporated into The Principate.

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 Virunum, 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.

On October 4th, 2015, Dakkadok impersonated SirTashingdon and attacked Forsta Stad, irreparably damaging it. It was the last standing town of The Order.

Later that month, The Order was incorporated into the larger team The Principate, led by AllSixSix.

Bases

Tamarisk

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 were 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. It was lost when /world was reset in early August 2015, and was the first of what may be many such sites.

The Keep

Shatterthaw farm

Kudzu

Tamarisk's much smaller cousin, a city built on an island. Discovered, repaired and developed by SirTashingdon and CosmicKeenan. This city features Roman baths and a Greek monument, and more trusted members are welcomed here.

Cosa

A ruined imperial town near Tamarisk, repaired by Allsixsix, with the help of rumpslem and indy64 in June 2015.

Island's Hope

A small city built by packofmongooses. It is close to Tamarisk, and will be used for recruitment of new members.

Forsta Stad

Founded on the first dry land found on The Order's first exploratory voyage, made by SirTashingdon and Butterking456, This city's name means 'first city' in Swedish, as it is the first city built from scratch by The Order. It features a mushroom farm, as well as farms for all other crops, and the nether portal leads to a complex blaze grinder built by an unknown user. Forsta Stad was later griefed by DakkaDok.
