Background
Founded by the Charismatic and enigmatic individual known as Moloch in ancient times. Originally known simply as Moloch's followers, they crusaded around the realm on a mission to acheive what was only known as "Ascension". However Moloch was believed to be killed many eras ago, and the organization transformed into a perverted and destructive purge under the control of a series of manipulative warlords who had tricked the followers into believeing they were reincarnations of their great leader. Eventually descending into revering Moloch as a God.
The last of these pretenders was Rix, who stole power from his predecessor by organizing a secret deal with the Slavonik Imperiya to assassinate him. He took power for a time, but after Rix stopped being of use to the Imperiya, his treachery was revealed to other leaders within the Order.
After the Battle of the Nexus and the destruction of the Monolith crystal. Rix was arrested and brought before the entirety of the Order to be publicly executed. However just before the deed was done, an Officer present on the stage approached and revealed himself to be none other than Moloch, long thought dead. The members of the Order celebrated and Rix was cut down on the spot. Afterwards, Moloch revealed his plans to continue to what he called "Ascension", the ultimate goal of learning the secrets of magik to elevate himself to Godhood, and bring with him his most faithful followers. He had failed once before, but his followers were not as strong as they had now become. And it was time to return to the Order's leadership.
Upon learning of Moloch's return and his intentions, the Black Hand renewed it's campaign to destroy the Order. For this act was an affront to their own Dark God, and they would not let anyone insult him.
Ethos & Objectives
The Order almost entirely follows the "prophetic" teachings of Moloch. For at the end of the journey he promises each of his loyal followers a state of higher being when he finally completes the necessary steps to "Ascend"
Since the Battle of the Nexus, events like the Collapse, and the civilization of the Elders have become ancient history. However for the few that are still aware of this period, it is strongly believed that Moloch is a surviving Elder, magik users of old. His ultimate goal is unknown, but it can be inferred that some part of his plan involves either taking power over the realm itself in the absence of the Monolith, or that he is looking to give his followers similar powers. It could also be that his ultimate goal has nothing to do with either of these outcomes.
Leadership
The Order is led by a number of Officers and Generals, all whom follow the prophetic word of their great leader, Moloch.

Military
The Ordo's military forces are made up of several Castes. Formations generally consist of a mixture of all groups. With Paladins often leading groups of Initiates
- Vicars are the Officers and field commanders of the Army, They also fill the role of Judge in criminal matters on the road. Vicars are most notorious for ordering the kidnapping or murders of many innocents who had offended them
- Paladins are the main warrior caste of the Order. The strongest, most loyal and most pious of volunteers are selected to be the Elite Crusaders of the lord Moloch's army.
- Sentinels are the specialists and scouts of the Army, they hold authority over the Chosen, But are subordinate to the Paladins. Becoming a Sentinel is usually the most a Initiate can hope to achieve.
- Initiates are the light warriors of the Order, mostly made up of poor individuals who have nowhere else to go, they also consist of volunteers who do not meet the Order's strict requirements for the Paladin caste.
