The Order of the Radiant Sword

The Order of the Radiant Sword was a mercenary organisation based in Haven, in Tyrrus, of battlemages devoted to protecting the people of the world from any danger that might present itself. They had paladin-like agendas and although they not religious they fought against forces of darkness. The Order was almost destroyed during the First Undead Invasion of Haven. After the second invasion, the hall was taken over by the Brotherhood of the Burning Blade.

History
The Order was founded relatively recently, in the year 1952 by Cedric the Lightwalker. It was made to be a protection agency that would do things for money that the authorities wouldn't, such as clearing out nearby brigands or monsters.

The Order has come into conflict with the Dark Monks in the past based on their ideological differences, the Dark Monks wield dark magic whereas the Order prefer the light. But it has never gone beyond a squabble as the order are so much less powerful.

During the Undead Invasion of Haven in 2015 the Order of the Radiant Sword fought the undead and saved many lives by stalling their progress, but the Order was not prepared for a crisis of this magnitude and simply couldn't defeat the unstoppable hordes of the dead. All the members of the order who fought against the undead were killed.

Only two members of the Order were away from the fight at that time, Kellan Sithwyr and Philius Myrdrul. Kellan had attempted to revive the Order in some places and continues to preach the Order's ideologies.

When the adventurers arrived at Haven in 2017, when it was barely anything bit ruins left, the final decline of the order began. The adventurers helped Kellan kill Philius and his Brotherhood of the Burning Blade, then the hall was ransacked by Lightguard, and finally the adventurers killed Kellan.

The Order of the Radiant Sword officially fell on the 12th of the Month of Harvest, 2017, the day that Kellan Sithwyr was slain by Gaius Lestrade.

The Order of the Radiant Sword
Members of the Order of the Radiant Sword tended to wear enchanted armour with a general colour scheme of navy blue and silver. Their symbol was a sword with a winged pommel and members often wore this on them somewhere, as an amulet or on their armour etc.

The Order were often battlemages who combined the power of magic and weaponry, often Pure magic. They also often had a lot of unique and particular abilities for the purposes of slaying monsters and users of darkness.
