Order of St Adric
The Order of St Adric the Brave of Eltrandor
This is the order founded by one of the knights that returned from the epic battle that saw King Sigismund disappear from Alusia. Adric of Aladar as he was known then was caught in a magic flux which saw him returned to Alusia from the far place where the battle was raging, he was part of the Kings Royal Guard and was a deeply religious man.
He founded the order in order that the realms not be unprepared when next the forces of evil gather to assault our realm and to provide a focus for the martial forces of the church and the then dilapidated Military.
The current Grand Master is Weiz Velda who is well known and respected throughout the realm as a good and respected woman and solid ally in times of need.
