Apprivian Order

The Apprivian Order was a shadowy Order formed in obscure circumstances by radical sartaskori in the 8th century RM. Their activities are difficult to trace, owing to the notoriously secretive nature of the Order - even the origin of the name is unknown, as the Faith records no Harada by the name of Apprivia ever existing - but they apparently first became active in the Jadhai. Possibly influenced by Zalkephic thought, the Apprivians were dedicated to continuing the process lately completed in the Halyrate and destroying secular, regional power throughout the world. They disseminated slogans and propaganda, and organized unrest and uprising where possible, but they quickly became most notorious for their practice of carrying out extraordinary assassinations of those they deemed a threat to the people. At the height of their activities, the Apprivians were operating across most of Athis, but their radicalism alienated their fellow Orders, and their anti-government activities outraged the remaining region-states of Athis, leading to their official dissolution by decree of the High Ward with the unanimous support of the Concourse in RM 769. Some members complied, but no base of operations was ever found, if one had ever existed, and the catch seemed too small to account for all the activities of the Order. There has been no sign of Apprivian activity since their dissolution, but rumours continue to swirl that the Order, rather than dissolving, simply vanished into the mountains somewhere, and a variety of folk-tales and popular legends have sprung up around them.
