the order of merlin,
Existing since the dawn of Fincayra, the Order of Merlin is a secret organization founded by the three sacred families of the isle: the Herriott, the Fairchild, and L'estrange. The Order serves as a makeshift military force in times of crisis, with the people from these families being swore into oath to protect Fincayra from all harm that may come upon it, internally or externally. As the centuries passed however, the Order has become more of a cult in which many of the newer generation family members do not wish to associate with. In recent times, family members of the Underhill family has obtained documents on rituals, as well as necromancy and black magic. The relationship between the other families of Cefnystrad and the Underhill family has grown considerably due to this, due to their lack of desire to return the parchments.
Each generation, a Order leader is appointed from one of the families by selection of the heavens (i.e each family must submit a candidate and they must compete to complete three different tasks to test their abilities). He or she is picked based on their bravery, cunning, and ability to lead others. They can be as young as fourteen years of age, and as old as twenty-four. He or she will be given the Sacred Wand after appointment however, the heirloom of the Order and a symbolic relic that commands absolute authority over the two other families.
