Good luck to you, Nektol, truly.
But, be advised that the process of trying to get an Order sanctioned is very, very long and lately mostly quite heartbreaking.

Dwarves have been trying for over two RL years to gain sanctioning for their Order. This is a FACT! We have submitted our Charter and By Laws more than once, to more than one "Order-type Official", and were told over a year ago that it was as good as done. Supposedly, and rightfully, the Order of Hammer and Stone should be the very next Order to be reviewed for sanctioning.

Anyways, way back then it was understood that the Order of Hammer and Stone would be a strictly Dwarven Order, with goals and purposes similiar to what it sounds like you wish for your Pryde. At that time we were given to believe that it was acceptable to have a Race-exclusive Order. (Yes, we were the first group to try such!) But, of course, as we all wait and wait and wait . . . to see the new rules . . . who knows? (shrug)

Sincerely,

(and yes, a mite grumpily and disgruntledly - hey, I'm a Dwarf, after all!)
(Belches sourly. Belches loudly. Does so mostly quietly to herself, but
once in a great while, like now - when trying to first find, and then
digest any words spoken by Mythical Provincial Order-type critters -
cannot hold back the explosion!)
