====== The Order ======

Formerly known as The Order of Merlin. This group claims that the Blood are descendants of the Arthurian wizard Merlin. The majority of the Order are non-Blood who track and observe the Blood and their items of power. Older members claim that the group's records go back to at least the 5th century C.E. 

Five years ago, however, The Order's main headquarters in Wales were destroyed in a suspicious fire. The bulk of the Order's records, as well as a number of high-ranking operatives, were lost or destroyed. The other factions are all suspected of having had some hand in the "accident" - the timing was especially bad, given that the Wales location was hosting most of the UK members. 

The Order is attempting to rebuild itself with the senior members from the east coast of North America (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Boston, etc.) They are currently trying to find and reclaim their lost data, artifacts and contacts and learning to function with significantly diminished resources.
