Orders of Chivalry

Emberglow has several orders of chivalry, though not so many as Ostmark.

Orders have been created throughout Emberglow's history, often by the Lords of the various counties. People are granted membership to honour their actions in battle, or in service to the realm. Few have any current status, or attendant duties, save for the Order of Vaskr. The law does attach duties to membership of the Order of Emberglow, who are the sworn battle-companions of members of the royal family, but such duties are largely honourary since the royal family of Emberglow has very rarely taken the field.

Historical orders (no longer extant) include:
 * The Order of the Sacred Elm
 * The Grand Order of the Evernight
 * The Watchful Order of the Glimmering Star
 * The Order of Snapdragon
 * The Order of the Crown'd Lion (illegal)
 * The Order of Vaskr Triumphant

Current orders include:
 * The Order of Vaskr, an order of knights devoted to the protection of Emberglow's borders, and to keeping the peace within. They are given legitimacy by royal mandate, and are the closest Emberglow has to a standing army.
 * The Order of Sweetwater, created in SR 571 by Constantine II to honour those who fought to liberate Sweetwater from Underlord Kratos.
 * The Royal Order of the Companions of Emberglow, once the hunting companions of Julius II when he was Lord of Candlewood, evolved into the sword-brethren of the King and royal family.
 * The Order of Saint Adalen, an order of royally-appointed theological scholars. They have the combined structure of a college and a chivalric order.
