General:The Adani Order is a council-led guild that is dedicated to the defense of peace, and the respect of all life, in any form. The Adani Order serves the people of Yliakum, for the good of Yliakum, using their abilities and strengths to serve as the guardians within the Dome. Adani serve others, rather than rule over them, for the good of the people as a whole, and for the necessary continuation of peace and justice. Adani are teachers, protectors, negotiators, servants, and defenders, no member of the Order ever uses their powers for their own gain, or to harm an innocent being. The Adani welcome anyone who wishes to join their ranks, all that is required to join is a desire to learn, and to be instructed in the teachings of the Order.
History:As long as Yliakum has been ruled by the Octarchy, the Adani Order has co-existed alongside the people of Yliakum, as much a part of the people as they are separate, excluded from normal life by their heightened abilities and grave responsibilities. The first Master of the Order, Solran Adani, was a master fighter, skilled with all manners of weapons. After a life of fighting and adventuring all across Yliakum, Solran discovered the need for guardians against the constant advancement of evil and injustice across the land. Working in conjuction with the young Octarchy, Solran started a school for his like-minded followers, named the Adani Order. Solran and his friends sought to instruct his followers in the art of combat, and negotiation. Adani strove to show his pupils the need for defenders of peace and justice in Yliakum, and trained them to serve as these guardians. As the first Apprentices in the Order advanced in age and experience, their power and influence in the world around them became clear, and Solran saw the need to establish the Order as a permanent part of the land of Yliakum. Before he died, Adani stepped down as Master of the Order, and passed on his sword to his successor. The Order continued to serve as the guarding force against evil and corruption throughout the ages, surviving and continuing to the present day, where Solran's sabre continues to be wielded by the current Master of the Order. The ancient teachings of the Adani continue to be passed on to their Apprentices, and the Adani still serve as trusted and honorable guardians of light and justice in Yliakum.
The teachings of the Order are eternal and universal. Many of the current Order members have turned to this path, after experiencing firsthand the pain and suffering caused by injustice and cruelty, as both victims and oppressors. The ever-present principle of respect to all, as well as the goals of striving to protect those near and precious are the basis of the reformations that strength and guide the Order members.
Organization:The Order is organized by the ancient concept of master and apprentice, and the guild is divided into two main paths: that of the fighter, and that of the negotiator. The Adani Order is overseen by the Adani Council, and the Council is led by the Master of the Order. The Master of the Order is, in nearly all respects, simply another member of the Adani Council, he or she has no additional powers other than the task of organizing and directing the Adani Council, which is the ruling authority of the guild. The Adani Council approves petitions for apprenticeship, administrates over any guild disputes, and votes on any major guild decisions. All new members begin at the Initiate ranking, where they are given a more hands-on experience into what their time in the Adani Order will be like. If deemed a good fit for the guild, an individual at the Initiate Rank will then be promoted into the true ranks of the Adani Order, beginning with the rank of Mantharor. Enkien for learner, Mantharors receive basic training and instruction at the hands of the senior members in the Order. At the Mantharor rank, members begin to choose which path that they will follow in the Order, and once that path is chosen, a senior member, either Ambassador or Master, or rarely, a Knight or Journeyman, will take that Mantharor as their personal Apprentice. The Apprentice begins the long path of training and fighting alongside their Master. Once an Apprentice is deemed worthy of advancing by their Master, then the Master will present his or her Apprentice to the Adani Council. The Order recognizes that not all individuals are suited for combat, nor are all capable of delicate negotiations. Therefore, there are two main paths established, that of the Knight, a fighters's calling, and that of the Ambassador, the diplomatic corps. At the time of presentation to the Council, the Master and Apprentice will choose the appropriate path to be followed. The path of the negotiator is culminated in the rank of Adani Ambassador, and that of the fighter leads to the rank of Adani Master. Adani Ambassadors have the task of representing the Adani Council to the people, Octarchy, and to other guilds that they may be negotiating with. Adani Masters are tasked with being the main teachers in the guild, and the training of Mantharors, as well as defense of the Order, is their responsibility. All members of the Order are taught to respect each other, and to love one another, as indeed they love and care for themselves.
