Protectors of order
Ordis
The world has become unstable and chaotic. Faced with these circumstances, humanity must embrace order if there is to be any chance to rebuild. This is what the Ordis believe. With unwavering dedication, this Faction focuses all its efforts on bringing structure to its environment. Like a sprawling anthill, it strives to build a solid backbone durable enough to support the world in the long term. But the Ordis know that nothing will last unless it is founded on ideals of justice, solidarity and equality.
"The world needs structure."
Protectors of order
Members of the Ordis Faction view order, knowledge and justice as the only fundamental principles that can permanently defeat the Tumult, a manifestation of the purest chaos they must counterbalance. If there is to be any hope of stabilizing and rebuilding the world in the long term, they aim to stand together like an unmovable rock, a unified whole that nothing can destabilize. This is why the Faction has many magistrates, soldiers and politicians in its ranks. They collaborate and focus their efforts on building a cohesive and resilient social structure.
Beyond enacting and enforcing new laws that will strengthen human civilization, they work together to support all of its aspects, from education and the economy to infrastructure, security and health. Although the Ordis administration is sprawling and convoluted, it draws its strength from its solidarity and unfailing efficiency. And to achieve this unity, they use the Gestalt, the collective consciousness that links all members of the Ordis together.
The Monolith
Floating in the clouds above the capital, the imposing Monolith of the Ordis is a pure white bipyramid that reflects the sun's rays like a beacon illuminating the world with the light of knowledge. This citadel is the Faction's Bastion and the seat of its central authority. The upper part of the edifice is home to a maze-like library known as the Sanctum, crisscrossed by numerous staircases, stages and platforms overflowing with shelves and old grimoires. The lower part of the Bastion is called the Anthill. It teems with hordes of clerks, archivists, copyists and registrars. It's here, in countless offices and departments, that laws and edicts are drawn up. This is also where the Court of Libra sits, the body that oversees justice and equity for the entire Asgartha peninsula.
