Orde van de Steenbok

The Order of the Ibex (Orde van de Steenbok) is a group of adventurers who are mostly active on the continent Sestiun. Their main base is located in the River Realm, close to a village named Kaloa. The Order formed after Ronen, Garawynn and Stupling were send to the Fonden Isles, where they had to figuere out why ships were going missing. During this mission, they got stranded and found a lonely ibex on the hills. After multiple attempts of capturing the animal, they achieved to tame it. Since that day, they called themselve the Order of the Ibex. Although they didn't have a true goal yet, their friendship grew and they showed to be a great team together.

The Order was active during the invasion of the Silm, and they secretly fought against them. Although they never had a real confrontation with the invasion, they did warn a few people of the incomming armies. But after the Order got hold of the Scepter of Makuvaku, the Silm managed to erase the memories of all the members that knew of the infiltration of the Silm.

## Achievements

### Saviors of the Fonden Isles

The first mission of the Order was at the Fonden Isles, where they uncovered that a Quantar named Gizit was the reason some ships and even whole islands were disappearing. When Gizit and 3 Silm soldiers were ready to devour Kollusaar, the main island of the Fonden Isles, the Order managed to stop them with the help of their recently tamed ibex named Samantha.

### Fate-warriors

After their adventures on the Fonden Isles they went to the Finwin, a river located in the north of Arkiun. Here they met another Quantar, who Megan gave the name of Dii-Rinka. The Order did one mission for Dii-Rinka as fate-warriors, namely bringing together the female elf Fredia and the male elf Edgarion. With this mission they supposedly brought together the parents of Fredegar. After their mission they decided to go their own way after they suspected Dii-Rinka of involvement in the affairs at the Fonden Isles.

### Saviors of Kaloa

With the money collected as fate-warrios they bought a piece of land to build their headquarters in the River Realm. To help them build their OvdS Mansion, they searched for builders in Kaloa, a village nearby. They discovered that the village was terrorised by a Llappa'du'uk. So the Order helped out and managed to drive the dragon away, saving a girl who was supposed to be an offer to this dragon. After their victory, they found 2 brothers who could build their house, while the Order went on new adventures.

### Defeating Orzar

When the Order of the Ibex got a strange letter from an old friend of Stupling, where he wrote that he needed help defeating an old enemy, the Order dind't hesitate for a moment. They went to Azazulbar, to help Stupling's friend. On their way they made lots of new friends, but when they arrived at Azazulbar, they found nothing but enemies. They found out that the old enemy was named Orzar, and that he was searching for the 3 shards of the scepter of Makuvaku to lift a curse set on him by Makuvaku herself. Lately he had found 2 of the 3 shards, which made his presence more notable for the people living here. When the Order first confronted Orzar, they deeply underestimated his powers. Both Ronen and Garrowyn were disintegrated and turned into remnents of Orzars mind. Because of this, killing Orzar would lead  to the death of both Ronen and Garawynn. So they had to find another way to defeat him. In order to stop Orzar, they had to find the last shard of the scepter, so that Orzar couldn't lift the curse. They found out that the last piece was hidden on Deathmans Island. After they retrieved the shard, they were ambushed by the man of Orzar, and they killed one member of the Order. The rest maneged to escape, but at what cost?

With the retrieval of the last shard, they stopped Orzar fot the time being. But Ronen and Garawynn where still part of Orzars mind. Because of this, Orzar could always find them. To lift this magical effect, Ronen learned that they had to perform a forbidden magical art. The last user was seen 80 years ago and the technique for this art was locked inside Amsalakron. They tried finding help in Amsalakron, but the leader of Amsalakron, Manwé, was only interested in the magical scroll of Ronen, which he didn't want to give away. They Angered Manwé and got themselves banned from the city. Their only way to lift the magic from Orzar was the last user of this technique named Matronn. With some newly found spells, they uncovered that Matronn was still alive and that he was locked up in a cave near Kikkert. When they found Matronn, he was able to give Ronen and Garawynn their body back in exchange for help to free him. To free Matronn, they had to defeat the giant that Matronn summoned 80 years ago. In the process of fighting the giant, the cave collapsed and both the giant and Matronn died.

On their way back home, the Order got ambushed again by man of Orzar. One of these man used a teleportation device to teleport them straigt to Orzar. Not bound by his magic anymore, the Order was able to kill Orzar and retrieve the last 2 shards of Makuvaku.

### Defeating the Baretto's

When the Order of the Ibex was headed for Amsalakron, they first went back home, as this was on the route. With the expactation that their mansion would be almost done, they found nothing but rage after they saw that their building was nothing more than a pile of ashes. Their 2 builders fled the location after the Baretto's burned the place down. They did this because the Order didn't pay their taxes yet. Lets just say that the Baretto's got their taxes that day, but not in gold.
