It's currently against the rules to make an Order that is not allied and sworn in loyalty to a particular government and its leader, IIRC.

I think it is silly to deny the huge benefit of Order mechanics to a roleplay group simply because they refuse to ally themselves to a particular government, or wish to wear black hats. But there's no indication that this will be changing any time soon, and I'm unaware of any plans to even expand it, so we'll just have to make due.

If I had to guess at a precedent I'd say Black Fang Army, but I think that's really, really silly.

I would personally love to help organize an order of lawful-neutral scholars allied to no particular government that just seeks to collect and archive information. I know one person talked about creating a group that was interested purely in preserving and spreading word of the Immortals without any political ties. But we can't do that stuff and ever be recognized officially as it currently stands and that's really unfortunate.

>My personal opinion is it would be nice to have Orders that arent all "nice". Make them qualify their reason for existance.

There was a short lived attempt to pull together an order that was basically an Elven nationalist group, but it faded away due to the core leadership not having enough time to invest in the game before interest could be spread wide enough to meet the minimum required membership of an official order.

I've been toying with an idea very similar to this, Reene. If you are up for it sometime, perhaps we could meet and talk about it?

It would be nice to know I'd have some support and/or at least interest if I took the time to try to start something.

Hopefully once the Order system gets revamped more groups like these will pop up and do good. GM support and advertising is always good for these sorts of things.
