<< Order of the New Iron Staff: Sorcerers that served in the Army of Rightness that had magic "which helped sweep the battle field clear of foes".>>
Was there an Order of the Old Iron Staff, or the Any Old Iron Order?
<< The New Order: Supported by Ullmal, they magically implemented "an aggressive and imperial policy". Tried to take over Seshnela in Saval's reign (by making a sorcerer king - nobles were against and clergy initially undecided). Most Seshnegi members devoured by the Serpent of Seshnela or persecuted by Saval. In Jrustela it was disbanded and its ideas clarified (but revived again within the God Learners).>>
Previously the Order of Joy?
Love Will Tear Us Apart was their biggest hit.
<<Monks of Blood: >>
Nice and friendly.
<< Reformed Sorcerers Alliance: a loose band of wizards. Probably include secret New Orders and Monks of Blood. Later became formalized into:>>
I would have thought this was a more political alliance rather than an Order or School; an alliance between assorted Sorcerors who don;t exactly agree except on a few points. I guess the line between politics and theology can get a bit thin sometimes.
<<God Learners Collective: Begins the explorations of Magic.>>
Again, 'collective' suggests to me an amalgam of different parts, collected together for some joint purpose.
<< Astelkal Horse: Seshnegi order that warred against the Dark>>
I had believe the Astelkal Horse to be a magical technique, rather than an order.
Zistorites: 'nuff said.
