Eneriades

The Eneriades order is a multi-disciplinary group that has influence in a number of areas of Laetheril's organization and development: government, diplomacy, military, research, and espionage. It's the oldest organization of Laetheril, predating even the unification of the nation under Etheril rule.
=Origins=
The predecessors of the Eneriades knights were the elves of the mountain Etheril tribes, particularly the few that managed to tame a wild Great Mountain Eagle: managing such a feat was considered an honor, and a sign that the elf was destined for greatness, which in turn meant that they usually became important figures in their tribes. This structure would be carried over the generations, but gradually growing and modernizing itself.
The fame of these "eagle knights" soon spread over other Etheril territories, and as more and more elves travelled to the central peaks in search of their own winged companion, the mountain tribes shifted to a more cautious stance; they became the protectors of these eagles, and deepened their bond with them. They would eventually become the nationally famous tamers, the ones in charge of breeding and caring for these majestic animals, as well as evaluating the Eneriades candidates to discover whether they're worthy of the honor. 
After decades of informal collaboration, in the year 361 AS, a sizable group of these knights got together and founded the Eneriades Order: their intention was to pool together their influence in order to increase their power in Laeth. Since then, the organization has been involved in one way or another in most of the developments of Laetheril, from important political reforms to military operations: at the foundation of the nation, the Grand Warden of the Eneriades sat in the original council of leaders that drafted the first edicts for all Laethians.
=Organizational structure=
==Hierarchy==
The Eneriades Order follows a vertical hierarchy of power, where the successor of a role is chosen by the predecessor before its death.
Title 	Nº 	Description
Grand Warden	1 	The official leader of the Eneriades. The Grand Warden's role is to oversee the rest of the members, arbitrate the reunions and discussions between the Librarians, and acts as the final judge in internal conflicts of the organization. They're also an official member of the Ruling Council of Laetheril.
Librarian 	9 	Librarians form the close circle of the Grand Warden, and are the most trusted members of the Eneriades Order. They are in charge of revising the (few) rules of the order, are responsible for safekeeping the knowledge stored in the Fortress-Monastery's vaults, and spend most of their time in these same vaults studying the tomes and adding knowledge of their own. Librarians don't usually leave the Fortress-Monastery.
Custodian 	20 	The group of knights called "Custodians" are responsible for the security of all Eneriades emplacements in Laeth; 10 of them are always stationed at the Fortress-Monastery of Peak Khelvan, and 1 of them is in charge of each one of the Eneriades' outposts in the island. The number of Custiodians varies over time with the number of outposts.
Knight 	150-250	The baseline category of Eneriades member. Knights are learned individuals in the arts of the mind and the body, that have received a duo of Great Mountain Eagles from the mountain tamers. They generally act independently, although in some occasions they have been called by the Grand Warden to work together.

==Research==
Eneriades knights have been rutinely tasked with overseeing the activies of the Deimus Aelle, the group of arcane researchers sponsored by the Ruling Council, ever since its inception. This security measure was proved to be warranted when the arcane explosion of 553 AS took place. The Ruling Council was quickly informed of this mishap, and this event is regarded as the kick-off of an intergenerational rivalry between both organizations.
