| | #REDIRECT [[:Category:Wandering_Warrior]] |
| This order was formed in [[Pasifika]] in Spring 814 at the suggestion of the Knights of Barrinor after the emergence of the horrors stirred the creatures from the deep, and the re-emergence of Olympic Gods along with a Gargoyle town from off plane being settled, with its purpose being to hunt down and kill dangerous beasts in the wild well away from towns and villages, and to supplement the various town & tribal war bands & militia in case of another invasion like the [[Sahuagin]].

| <p>
| |
| While a more formal army under the command of the Pasifikan Shamans and Chiefs may have caused significant concern as a neutral entity formed under another planar traveller the Order has been accepted as representing the assorted groups settled in [[Pasifika]] so is welcomed in all the towns.

| ===Koa (Warrior)===

| ===Laekahi (Squire)===
| |
| ===Naika (Knight)===
| |
| ===Others===
| |
| While these are the main formal ranks of the Order, a number also hold positions which grant them additional powers. These members with additional powers will always be Resident members. Examples of these positions would be the leader of each fellowship, the messengers who oversee the councils directives and the council themselves.

| ==Administration==
| |
| ===Structure===
| |
| The Order is organised loosely, with a self governing group local to each town (normally called a Fellowship by the Order). These Fellowships then submit reports of things of note to the Council of the Order.
| |
| <p>
| |
| Within each Fellowship there are normally a number of resident Koa, as well as a few Laekahi & Naika, with a senior in charge of the Fellowship. Sometimes travelling members will be attached to a specific Fellowship if they normally act as scouts basing out of that location, but more normally travelling members will simply report to their nearest Fellowship as they travel.
| |
| ===Leadership===
| |
| The Orders headquarters are based on the island of [[Waiheke]] where the Council reports to the Council of Chiefs when it is convened.
| |
| <p>
| |
| Currently the majority of the Council of the Order is formed by Knights of Barrinor with a couple of displaced Shamans from southern tribes supporting them, but it is expected that over the next few years the Knights will step back from the Council for the most part allowing new local members to rise up.
| |
| <p>
| |
| When issuing directives and reports a number of Naika are used to carry instructions and provide local guidance. These members do not come under the domain of any individual Fellowship but are directly answerable to the council. In addition when under Council instruction they may take on a commanding role beyond their rank.
