I know I can make up my own, but I figured I'd pick the brains of the collective, here, for any further details that they know (or made up).  Aside from the temple in the first adventure, and Laurabec Adelsberg in adventure 3, I don't recall the order popping up much in the rest of the story.I know that the order was once devoted to healing, protection, and sacrifice, but eventually they became violent and cruel.  In an unexplained series of events, they were somehow destroyed (or perhaps destroyed themselves?) about seventy years prior to the campaign (not long before Coaltongue came to power).  They then reformed in Sindaire, about ten years ago, under a premise more true to their original purpose, and have subsequently quickly spread across the lands.I assume that the original order was in fact, in its earliest forms, tied to the actual Aquiline Heart, and tried to emulate its symbolic purpose (both the immortality granted by its blood, and the precautionary tale about hubris). Over time, that original purpose was either lost to time, or deliberately neglected, as the order began to see themselves as arbiters of who deserves to live and die.  Likely crushed by the ambitions of their own leadership, they dissolved away.THAT SAID... does anyone here have any more information about the Order that I've somehow missed, or any new content they've created that they'd be willing to share?</blockquote>
