Order of the Crane Mother

The Order of the Crane Mother, also known as the Elders of K'un-Lun, is an ancient warrior monk society based in K'un-Lun. The Order trains its members in martial arts in order to fight the Hand. The Order also appointed the Iron Fist to protect the city of K'un-Lun and destroy the Hand. The last Iron Fist, Danny Rand, abandoned his position and left K'un-Lun unguarded, which lead to an attack by the Hand and the disappearance of the city.

The Order saw this as desecration, so they banished them from K'un-Lun. The five, Alexandra Reid, Gao, Bakuto, Murakami and Sowande, would form the Hand, an organization dedicated to gaining immortality through the use of a Resurrection Elixir, made from the bones of dead dragons.The Defenders: 1.04: Royal Dragon The Order became the enemy of the Hand, so they trained its members and the Iron Fists to destroy the organization.Iron Fist: 1.02: Shadow Hawk Takes Flight
