The Order of Fate

== Overview ==
The Order of Fate is a group of faeries that live on
Affolahn a small island in the in the middle of Lake Lyndai. It is on this
island that the only known portal to Allutheria exists. It is the Order’s job
to collect and guard magical objects that are found in Ga’leah to ensure that
they do not fall into the wrong hands. They keep track of the comings and
goings of faeries and their interactions with the humans. They see themselves
as the guardians of magic in Ga’leah as well as the go between for humans and
the faery courts.
== Affiliation ==
The Order has no affiliation other than to themselves. They
work under the guidelines and rules laid out by their founders. They are
neutral to both human affairs and wars as well as to the faery wars or quarrels
in Allutheria. Their main concern is to ensure that magic does not get out of
hand in Ga’leah and cause pain to the human world.
== History ==
The order was created two centuries after the first Faery
War. Etain one of the first fae to be created discovered a crack in the walls
of Allutheria. It was hidden behind a waterfall in Allutheria on the edge of
her lake. It was here that she found the portal into Ga’leah. It led her to a
small Island that sat in the center of a lake. This Lake had no river that
flowed into it and appeared to be fueled by the raw pure essence of Allutheria
that was bleeding over through the portal. For a long time Etain kept the
portal a secret. She did not tell anyone out of fear that if too many knew
about it the gods would grow angry with them.
The secret could not be kept forever though and soon many
fae had found the portal. They were entering Ga’leah and starting to cause
trouble with the humans. Many fae that either wanted to return or did not wish
to affiliate themselves with the White or the Red courts wanted to a place of
their own. Some simply wanted freedom, others wanted power. Regardless the more
the fae poured in through the portal into the human world the more things began
to be upset. Fae kind looked down upon the humans and thus began to take
advantage of them. A small group of wise fae saw this and knew it had to be
stopped. If they did not stop it the gods might obliterate them all. So this
group made a deal with Olwyn the Source. They swore to protect and guard the
portal into Ga’leah as well as protect mankind from the magic of devious
faeries. 
The Order’s castle was thus built as well as their series of
circular vaults to ensure the protection of magical objects. For a time the
Order was very active in the human world. They met and spoke with kings,
queens, nobles, etc. Together the Order and the kings of old became allies.
However, after a time the fae men and women of the council began to look down
upon humans. They saw the violence and wars between them and decided that no
magic could be trusted in their hands. So every magical object began to be
confiscated. However, even this did not stop the bloodshed. It became clear to
the Order that humans were blood thirsty by nature and nothing they did could
stop that. The only thing they could do was ensure that none of them had an
upper hand via magical means. Their neutrality became the Order’s shield only
becoming involved in the affairs of the human world if it involved something
magical. 
Because of their neutrality they became more of a group of
old philosophers hiding away on their island not paying attention to the
affairs of mankind unless it directly affected them. It is because of this that
not many fae are joining their cause any longer as their main pool of recruits
were fae born in Ga’leah. It is due to this that they are having to come up
with other means. 
== Current Leader ==
Their current leader is Tiernan. He is the grandson of the
Order’s first leader. He is wise, but can be rather hot headed. He sees the
Order as his legacy, but because of this is often blind to the true intentions
of many of his agents. He often will take the counsel of older members who he
believes to be more learned than him as well as will turn a blind eye to
cruelty done in order to achieve an end for the Order. He does not like nor
care for the violence and often times does not even know that violent or
cruel acts are done in the Order's name. All he knows is that it is benefiting the Order and does not go
further into investigating it.
== Recently ==
The Order is somewhat falling into shambles. It has had a
rude awakening call from being attacked by a giant frog monster. The Blight has
now become their issue as well. However, current projects such as the deal that
the Blue Faery made with Gepetto are still underway. There are some though that
wish to see such members punished yet do not have the ability to speak out
against them.
