Steel Order

The Steel Order is the military wing of the ancient Faith of the Forgotten Sword. Steel Order, much like the Sword Church, has been deteriorating for many centuries and since the Jimer's Crusade, the last sect of the Steel Order was in Edelmaa.
== Steel Order of Edelmaa ==
The last surviving sect of the Steel Order survived in the Steel Fort of Edelmaa. This sect however, was tested multiple times. Once by King Levi when he destroyed the Steel Fort during the Unification Wars. The sect practiced their faith in secret, until in Edelmaa Great War when they joined Jiri Baathúr who promised to revive their religion. This was ironic, as it was Jiri's father Jimeric who destroyed the Sword Church in Olia.
Succeeding the coronation of Jiri as King, and re-establishment of the Sword Church, the Faith of the Forgotten Sword began to revive. This ended in the 4th century, when the King Cult arose to contest the Sword Church. The King Cult ordered the Couriers to destroy the Steel Order and so, during the Evangelion Coup the Steel Knights were banished from the Steel Fort. This began the Steel War.
=== Steel War ===
For much of the war, the Steel Knight hid in the Iron Forest, doing small ambushes upon King Cult carriages and transports. In 308 it changed, as they planned to finally retake the Steel Fort. The Battle of Steel Fort was fought in 22nd April 308, and it proved successful. During the battle, a new champion surfaced, Lukyan Marsius. The seemingly hero of the Steel Order. In January of the next year, the Hawk Administration of Workhold declared the Steel Order as a threat. This made the Royal Court the enemies of the Steel Order, which meant that the King Cult was receiving military aid from the Royal Army. Soon the Steel Fort was besieged by the Legio Ardostum led by Mennos van Dire. The Second Battle of Steel Fort was fought, and it ended in stalemate. Yet, the Steel Knights managed to negotiate favorable terms. They were exiled into the lands of Olav, whilst they had to concede the Steel Fort to the King Cult. This allowed the Sword Church to survive.
