Sanctified Order of Nature's Redeemers

"The Ancient One calls out and demands vengeance against the sins of man against our world."
- Mighty Oak, first Grand Avenger of the Sanctified Order of Nature's Redeemers
=== History ===
Thousands of years ago in the year 45,211, well before the setting of the Firebreathing Kittens adventures, a druid named Hrothgar Djantosh reported receiving a revelation. He stated that the ancient spirit of the world, Breenachti, selected him to be the conduit for her revenge against the populations of those that defiled nature's balance through cultivation, construction, waste, and lifeless technology. Breenachti wanted the peoples of Drawes to be subservient to her and rely upon her for everything while caring for the creation she embodied. As civilizations grew, they became haughty and disregarded the gifts she gave them, thinking they could improve upon the harmony that she established. Seeing this cycle repeat through the ages, Breenachti saw that the best way to preserve herself was to prune those that grew too large. She empowered Hrothgar with great power and in return demanded strict obedience to her will. Hrothgar changed his name to Mighty Oak believing that even the names of men should follow what nature has provided. He did mighty wonders that amazed many people and soon created disciples that would help to execute the will of their patron goddess, Breenachti. So was born the Sanctified order of Nature's Redeemers.
As the Order's power grew, many kingdoms moved against them to stop what they saw to be an undoing of everything they had created. Many of the order were hunted down and killed. As the walls closed in on Mighty Oak, he beseeched Breenachti for aid. She responded by raising the fallen disciples from the dead as an army of undead horrors. Mighty Oak then received the gift of powerful necromancy and cursed the Vale of Shadows; the place to where he was chased. Since the Vale of Shadows was a major trading crossroads and lifeline for the surrounding kingdoms, he stifled their growth by using the power of both the undead and his growing druidic powers over nature. The Vale of Shadows is now considered holy ground for the Sanctified Order of Nature's Redeemers and any who trespass or lay claim to it must deal with the power of the Order.
=== Slaughter of the Vale of Shadows ===
Known as the darkest day in the history of the village of Tyrins, The Slaughter of the Vale of Shadows was an example of the Order's methods of disruption and manipulation of the lands around the Vale of Shadows. When the Outlands infantry trespassed the Order's holy ground, the decision was made to kill them all. This would severely weaken a village whose technology, military, and influence were all increasing. For a reason unknown to the Order, one of the soldiers (Skirmish Killington) did not succumb to the mind control used to make the soldiers slaughter each other. After Skirmish passed out, they tried using different dark magic on him but he seemed unaffected. Due to their inability to kill him directly, the order decided to eliminate him through subterfuge. Once of the order, Searing Bolt, disguised himself as one of the fallen soldiers, Rekindro Mulfree. He rushed to the village of Tyrins and used his magic to command those in leadership to believe that it was Skirmish that slaughtered his group. Once Skirmish returned to the village to report about the undead attack, the elders were convinced that he was lying and sentenced him to death. Skirmish never saw the disguised Searing Bolt for, if he had, he could have disproven the false claim by showing Rekindro's family sash, something a warrior of Tyrins keeps with him at all times and is only removed at death. 
This additional manipulation was a new tactic for the order. Seeing how effective it was, they now plan to infiltrate various cities and towns and have them divide themselves to weaken them further and advance the mission of Breenachti.
