Order of Halcyon

Clad in shimmering brass armor, the Order of Halcyon are the peacekeeping force and guardians of Taura.
Founded by varinos after their exodus from Sarno, the Order of Halcyon’s original purpose was to safeguard the new home for varinos refugees. Their current charge was given to them by the Democratic Republic of Idera Naeru. Founded by varinos refugees, the order keeps a close watch over the citizens of the republic, often serving as an elite combat and tactical squad. They receive a fair deal of funding for research and development from Idera Naeru, namely to further their development of so called “bronzecraft” materials, a complex alchemical alloy used in the order’s weapons and armors.
== Recruitment ==
Recruits for the order often come at high recommendation from the main branches of Idera Naeru's military. After an application process, recruits are tested physically and mentally, and are often observed in outside environments, to ensure that they adhere to the order’s strict honor code. When finally approved, new soldiers are given a bronzecraft weapon and set of armor. While not literally bronze, bronzecraft weapons and armor are charged with energy that can be manipulated and used by the wearer to generate varied effects, depending on the item in question. The alloy gets its name from the shimmering bronze color of the metal itself.
The order’s ever-vigilant commanders, the Sentinels of Halcyon, are given unique bronzecraft inventions tailor-made for each sentinel, depending on their station. The Sentinels are not traditional leaders; they serve by example, the ideal members of the order. New Sentinels are only considered for induction after a notable feat, and further requires a majority vote from the other Sentinels.
== Notable Sentinels ==
* Eremar Karabas, the founder of the Order.
* Viralana Sarennan is perhaps the most famous of the Sentinels. Locals call her the Night’s Eagle thanks to her near-constant airborne surveillance, made auspicious, albeit covert, thanks to her bronzecraft wings. She was near-instantly inducted as a Sentinel after managing to kill a member of the Duskfarrow Society.
* Orsenus Inuro, the only Reforged Sentinel at present, was inducted after creating a bronzecraft prosthetic arm for himself, when his previous prostheses were damaged in combat. He was quickly given freedom of the order’s development and manufacturing. He uses his prostheses as foci for his magic, but is otherwise not renowned for his combat prowess.
* Arathe Isinia, the longest-standing and de facto leader of the Sentinels, is famed for being one of the earliest explorers of Taura’s darkest regions. She is a notoriously strict woman and commonly oversees new recruits' morality evaluation. She wields a bronzecraft headpiece. There are rumors abound about its exact functionality, from mind-reading abilities to x-ray vision.
