Its origins stem from an ancient order of Holy Knights committed to true democracy and philanthropy separate from the kings and queens of the time; the founder of which being Saint Libertorius. The concept was eventually lost, but it has since been revitalized in the form of the Order of Libertorius, which was founded seventy five years ago. The Order - or the Brotherhood as it is also known - is dedicated to upholding goodness and virtue, and smiting out evil that would threaten the realm. They remain a neutral entity from the Royal family Arcadeus and other political Houses, who collectively govern Elmunred. They have envisaged a world without the Royal Houses, a fresh start. A world where good people can live in peace and freedom, while not being oppressed by the laws and doctrines that are often forced onto them. The current leader of the Brotherhood is Johan Geist - who is the Fourteenth Lord-Commander to rule - and he resides in Ascentium; the Mountain-Fort. Many brilliant minds and warriors have travelled far and wide to be embraced into the Order and it’s ranks consist of a wide medley of individuals, from researchers, priests, soldiers to even simple labourers. All are eligible to join the Brotherhood, even ex-criminals are allowed, provided their crimes are not too severe, and they are willing to atone for them. The Order’s influence and doctrines have of course attracted the attention of the Royal House Arcadeus, who for a while set out on a campaign to pacify the Brotherhood, fortunately the campaign was retracted when the Civil War erupted and it did not succumb to any violence. Their sigil is a right-handed gauntlet held upward with an eye on it’s back, on a black and blue field. Their motto is “We are the Emancipated few. Brothers and Sisters of the Sanctum” They are de facto lords over the territories of Western Ylaskir.
