The Divine Order

*"We shall stop at nothing to accomplish our goals." - Anonymous Order Sovereign*

### Description:

The Divine Order is a group across the Cosmere. Trillions of years old, they have been around since the death of Adonalsium. Some believe they helped orchestrate the Shattering of Adonalsium intentionally. They are known to wish to advance the use of The Song, in a similar manner to The

Ministry. The Divine Order also seeks to collect Melodic Curses, The 10 Rings, and similar artifacts. Right now they are focusing on the Melodic Curses. The Divine Order is careful to avoid The Great Drowning and they do not like The Ministry. They have members everywhere. From The Ministry, the Summer Company, The Central Authority, The Travelers, and more.

### Ranking System:

There are 6 ranks in The Divine Order. Ranging from weakest to strongest,

1. Order Initiate: Initiates are very common and make up a lot of the basic army for the Order. The Initiates mostly just wear black and cloak their identity. Usually, the newest and weakest members are Initiates. They are usually deployed in groups of 3 or more to carry out a task.

2. Order Agent: The agents are more skilled and elite members of The Divine Order. They do not have any known uniforms and they tend to be people who hold power in other organizations and groups. The agents carry out much more difficult tasks and hold political or social influence.

3. Order Officer: Officers oversee Initiates and tend to invite them, as well as oversee their training. Officers also sometimes give missions to the Agents and Initiates. They usually are assigned to a group of Initiates and act as a mini-leader for them.

4. Order Baron: These are some of the highest ranking members of The Divine Order. The Order Barons serve directly under the High Sovereigns. They carry out missions for the High Sovereigns as well as solve disputes and problems. The Barons are members who have been around for long and are very powerful. There are 12 Order Barons in total.

5. Order Sovereigns: The Order Sovereigns are essentially the leaders of The Divine Order. They give direct orders to the Order Barons and they appoint the Barons as well. They are extremely powerful people across the Cosmere, there are exactly 6 Order Sovereigns. They also solve disputes and conflicts within The Order. The Sovereigns usually work in the shadows and are not public about their positions. They act as the main spheres of influence for The Divine Order.

6. The Demiurges: The Demiurges were the 3 original founders of The Divine Order. The Demiurges are basically never seen and never heard about. They can only be contacted via all of The Sovereigns voting together. They are never seen in person, and if contacted usually only one replies. The Demiurges have full authority over The Divine Order and act as the final decider of things, mainly if The Sovereigns can’t agree on something and reach a tie on votes.

### Members:

### Relationship(s):

The Ministry: The Ministry and The Divine Order have a long standing disdain towards each other. They both oppose the other and want them to fall. Strangely, they share almost the exact same goals, but with different ends. The Divine Order seeking to advance usage of The Song happens to be the exact same as The Ministry. Due to this overlap, in very rare circumstances, they might work together for mutual benefit. Regardless, they have a negative relationship.

The Guild of Evil's Bane: The Divine Order has conflicting opinions with The Guild of Evil's Bane, but, generally, they like them. The Divine Order has shown willingness to work with the Guild before, and they generally hold little ill will. The Guild of Evil's Bane knows little about The Divine Order, except for their connection to Soravin. They are mostly neutral, slightly positive maybe.

The Central Authority: The Central Authority and The Divine Order often overlap in goals, due to their mutual dislike of The Ministry. Because of this, they both generally are positive towards each other.

The Empire of The Puppetmaster: The Divine Order dislikes The Puppetmaster, as well as his Cerebro Parasites. Most of this is due to testimony by Arathain, as well as incident log "The Black Lotus incident". The Divine Order strongly dislikes them.
