Order of Mirai

The Order of the Harada Mirai is a prominent Maninist Order and member of Concourse. Miraidis take as their patron Harada the legendary Savirai hero Mirai, and their headquarters are located at the fortress-complex of Khrais, built around an oasis deep in the Face of the Moon. 
===History===
===Practices===
MIrai is held to have exemplified the virtues of courage, honour, and obligation. Miraidi support is strongest among the former Savirai noble families and the descendants of the Halyrate's New Men. The Miraidis are organized along roughly feudal lines, and initiates are typically expected to act as a mounted cavalry elite, much like their Savirai ancestors. The explicit obligations of initiates to their higher-ups are few, but a Miraidi is expected to uphold the bond of obligation between he and his superiors; dishonouring the Order typically leads to a swift trial and expulsion. Similarly, an initiate has strong obligations to the associates on his lands, and there is a very strong paternalistic aspect to Miraidi doctrine. 
===Organization===
Miraidi fiefs are not hereditary, and neither is membership in the Order: each must be earned. The High-Captain of the Order leads it from Khrais, and is elected by the council of Low-Captains. The Low-Captains oversee the feudal branches, and have voting strength in the council according to the military and financial resources of their branch: this leads to a considerable expansionist trend among ambitious Low-Captains.  Interestingly, the Savirai ruling family has in the last century formed a close association with the Miraidis, with several serving as High-Captain. The Savirai have consequently remained more relevant than most of the old temporal elites, though their status in the Order is of far more importance than their imperial title.
They are among the more militarily powerful Orders.
