Order of the Golden Dawn

The **Order of the Golden Dawn** (黄金の夜明け団, *Ōgon'noyoake-dan*?), also known as **Golden Dawn Order**, is an order affiliated with the Eld Kingdom.

## Overview

The "Order of the Golden Dawn" is an organisation composed of warriors gathered by Hero of Light's companions.

Prior to the creation of the organisation, Eld Kingdom's security had been maintained by hired warrior bands and the private armies of the nobility but the Hero of Light's Party felt that this would be a problem in the future and decided to create an official organisation to maintain security. There were particular problems with entrusting the maintenance of security to the private armies of the nobility. If a crime was committed by a noble or someone close to the nobility, the crime could be covered up. For this reason, it was decided to create a group of warriors under the direct control of Hero and the others.

The conditions for joining the order are, of course, skill as a warrior, but also the ability to abide by the rules. It is meaningless if those who maintain security cannot follow the rules. For this reason, we do as much research as possible on those who wish to join.

## History

## Etymology

The **Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn** (黄金の夜明け団, *Ōgon'noyoake-dan*?) (Latin: *Ordo Hermeticus Aurorae Aureae*), more commonly the **Golden Dawn** (*Aurora Aurea*), was a secret society devoted to the study and practice of the occult, metaphysics, and paranormal activities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as a magical order, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was active in Great Britain and focused its practices on theurgy and spiritual development. Many present-day concepts of ritual and magic that are at the centre of contemporary traditions, such as Wicca and Thelema, were inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism.

The three founders, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell Mathers, were Freemasons. Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn.

The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation, similar to Masonic lodges; however, women were admitted on an equal basis with men. The "Golden Dawn" was the first of three Orders, although all three are often collectively referred to as the "Golden Dawn". The First Order taught esoteric philosophy based on the Hermetic Qabalah and personal development through study and awareness of the four classical elements, as well as the basics of astrology, tarot divination, and geomancy. The Second or Inner Order, the *Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis*, taught magic, including scrying, astral travel, and alchemy. The Third Order was that of the Secret Chiefs, who were said to be highly skilled; they supposedly directed the activities of the lower two orders by spirit communication with the Chiefs of the Second Order.
