Order of the Azure Flame
Symbol: blade shrouded in blue flames
Background, Goals and Dreams: The Order, once an offshoot of the militant arm of the Temple, has consolidated their independence in recent years. They are self governing and self policing. Taint is the great enemy, and all magi are tasked with finding new ways of resisting taint, and new untainted spells.
Enemies and Allies: As part of the Temple and the Orders Militant, the Battle Sorcerors can count on them as firm, if somewhat suspicious, allies. The common folk fear the magi. The Inquisition actively distrusts them, and is resentful of their independance.
Members: only Battle Sorcerors are inducted into the Order. Othar Staffbreaker (so named after having survived snapping a staff of power) leads the Order through the political minefield with uncommon skill, as he has for the past eighty years.
