The Great Orders of Chalameria
The Seven Great Orders of Chalameria, forming the Concord, stand as the pillars of governance, wisdom, and power within the realm. Each Order serves a unique purpose, shaping society through distinct roles and guided by their respective patrons, mystical beings who embody the ideals of the Orders. Together, these Orders uphold the structure of Chalamerian life, ensuring balance, progress, and unity.
Path to Nobility
Nobles and aspiring nobles are bound by the Code of Chivalry, which is upheld by the Order of Serratura. To enter nobility, one must pass through Serratura’s rigorous trials, learning the values of pride, humility, and balanced leadership.
Upon completion, members may remain in the Order of Serratura or swear allegiance to another Order.
Once an individual begins the path of nobility in Chalameria, they are tested rigorously by the existing nobility. These trials are designed to ensure that the aspirant's actions, values, and dedication align with the Code of Chivalry, the foundational principles that define Chalamerian leadership.
Participation in Orders
While many minor orders, factions, and guilds serve specialized roles, player characters (PCs) may only join one Great Order during gameplay.
Eligibility: PCs cannot begin the game as members of a Great Order but may join one as part of character progression.
This restriction emphasizes the journey of growth, alignment with ideals, and earning the right to represent a Great Order.
The Concord's Role
The Concord, formed by representatives from each Great Order, governs Chalameria. It ensures that the ideals of harmony, justice, and progress remain at the core of society, offering balance and vision to the realm. Through this council, the Great Orders shape the destiny of Chalameria, welcoming those who rise to meet their ideals.
