Order of Xar

Those mortals dedicated to Xar attempt to mimic her good qualities: above all else, they intend to be pragmatic and useful engineers that design beneficial things for the greater good. The reality reflects something different. The order began as a humanitarian engineering project to improve the quality of life of uncivilized people has slowly become a cloistered, insular church dedicated to weird mechanics and clockwork creations. The Order holds many Orcs, who, ironically, usually serve lengthy peaceful humanitarian missions for the Order before returning to their tribes to engage in warfare.
               The order recruits widely and many different beings choose to join their ranks. Most are sent as engineer-missionaries out to isolated tribes and are generally useful and benevolent. But the inner workings of the church? They seem to worsen steadily over time.
