The Order of the Golden Dawn
Description: The Golden Dawn exists half in light, half in darkness. In order for the light to rise, it must first go through darkness. Such is the way of the world.
The Order of the Golden Dawn, affectionately known to its members as Stella Matutina, seeks the dark mysteries of Althanas' past. This is not out of any bid for power or destruction, but for the protection of the present and future of Althanas.
Membership: Stella Matutina is led by consensus of a tribunal. This tribunal consists of the founding members, though they may step down in favor of other pursuits. In this event, or the death of a tribunal member, the remaining members of the tribunal will choose, from among the initiated, a replacement. Members are initiated into the Order either off-screen with a 50-100 gold donation, or on-screen in an Order sponsored acquisition/investigation quest. Each member of the Order will be identified in Golden Dawn documents by an acronym, originating from a mantra, or motto.
Current Roster
Caduceus Grimaldi (Zook Murnig) - Founder - Tribunal
E.Q.B. Elohim qel Bechoshk. God's Light in Darkness.

Lasair Anubail - Founder - Tribunal
Rules: Stella Matutina is a very secretive organization. The things they study are of such a nature that they should not be exposed lightly. Even the name Stella Matutina is a secret, though the Order's existence is not. Any member who utters the name Stella Matutina in the presence of an uninitiated will suffer expulsion from the Order. Similarly, members who divulge secrets of the Golden Dawn will be brought before the tribunal for their fate to be decided. If it is determined that they had just cause for the divulgence, they will be found innocent, with a warning. However, if it is determined that they released Golden Dawn information without good or sufficient reason, they will be found guilty and expelled.
Expulsion from the Order of the Golden Dawn is not simply being disassociated with the organization. Those who are expelled remain so permanently, and will have their memories adjusted such that they have no recollection of anything to do with the Order or its secrets. This is done through a powerful enchantment cast upon each hopeful member at initiation. It is accepted by them willingly, or they will not be initiated.
The initiated are encouraged to have other interests and to pursue them, so there is no rule against being in other power groups if you are a member of this one. However, should they come upon a situation where they must decide between revealing the secrets of Stella Matutina, and failing their mission, they are expected to choose according to the Order's interests.
Ceidon is providing the 100 gold registration fee.
