Sanctioning Province: [[Therengia]]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield stands for basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces.  Even with such diversity citizens can become united in spirit with a cause that makes the whole much more than who an individual is.  If the cause is right, then spirits turn righteous and actions are honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield promotes fellowship amongst members and citizens, defends the province of [[Therengia]], teaches [[Therengia]]n lore, aids in assistance of the citizens and preserves the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new to share this knowledge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Many Swords, One Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mission==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Sponsor Order run events open to all Citizens of the Elanthia (Flea Markets, Treasure Hunts, Pirate Hunts, Date Auctions, Parties, etc...).&lt;br /&gt;
#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is what we seek as a unified body of spirits who have amiable hearts. We are determined to rise up and ennoble those that are humble, empower those who are powerless, and defend the defenseless. With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now wear proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many Swords, One Shield&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Rallyne had an unremarkable childhood until her family travelled to [[Crossing]] for a shopping trip in 369. There was an invasion, and she became separated from them until found by a ranger who took her to safety in a treehouse. She could not find her family and after some months under the ranger&#039;s tutelage, he brought her to [[Riverhaven]] where she found her home. Crestfallen, she did her best to fit in and by the month of Shorka, 370, joined the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]] where she started what became a life long commitment to [[Therengia]]. She was befriended by another [[Order of the Dragon Shield|Shielder]], [[Drexella]], and became first a military liaison and then an aide on her Ambassadorial staff. When [[Drexella]] formed [[House Giraud]], Rallyne was made a member of and served as the Steward. She also served in the Baron&#039;s Own Militia, and with the Northern Watch. She made several bad choices in romance, until she finally wed Marganus. She was later reunited with her lost nephew and only known family, Angorath. She recently was appointed  as an Ambassador for [[Therengia]] to King [[Raenilar]]&#039;s court of Outcast Tribes, King [[Arhhdan]] of [[Muspar&#039;i]], and to [[Talorc|High King Talorc]] of the Gypsy Tribes. Shortly thereafter, she was made Court Advisor to Baron Gyfford. She left that position to raise her children and now that they have grown has returned to service with the Order of the Dragon Shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with all things, life moves forward and its been no different for Rallyne. With her children grown and gone, and her husband on a quest to try and manipulate the bad magic into good, she has been left to her own devices. She has chosen to release Marganus as her spouse so he can better concentrate on his efforts. You can still find her in Riverhaven for, no matter how far she travels from it, she always feels more at home there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tidbits==&lt;br /&gt;
*Dislikes shopping.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Terrified of spiders.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Fears abandonment.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Loves flowers.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Is a romantic.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Has two children, Asuth and Acadi, who are now grown and making their own adventures.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield stands for basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces.  Even with such diversity citizens can become united in spirit with a cause that makes the whole much more than who an individual is.  If the cause is right, then spirits turn righteous and actions are honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield promotes fellowship amongst members and citizens, defends the province of [[Therengia]], teaches Therengian lore, aids in assistance of the citizens and preserves the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new to share this knowledge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Many Swords, One Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mission==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Sponsor Order run events open to all Citizens of the Elanthia (Flea Markets, Treasure Hunts, Pirate Hunts, Date Auctions, Parties, etc...).&lt;br /&gt;
#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is what we seek as a unified body of spirits who have amiable hearts. We are determined to rise up and ennoble those that are humble, empower those who are powerless, and defend the defenseless. With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now where proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sanctioning Province: [[Therengia]]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield stands for basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces.  Even with such diversity citizens can become united in spirit with a cause that makes the whole much more than who an individual is.  If the cause is right, then spirits turn righteous and actions are honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield promotes fellowship amongst members and citizens, defends the province of [[Therengia]], teaches Therengian lore, aids in assistance of the citizens and preserves the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new to share this knowledge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Motto==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Swords, One Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mission==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Sponsor Order run events open to all Citizens of the Elanthia (Flea Markets, Treasure Hunts, Pirate Hunts, Date Auctions, Parties, etc...).&lt;br /&gt;
#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is what we seek as a unified body of spirits who have amiable hearts. We are determined to rise up and ennoble those that are humble, empower those who are powerless, and defend the defenseless. With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now where proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Order of the Dragon Shield stands for basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces.  Even with such diversity citizens can become united in spirit with a cause that makes the whole much more than who an individual is.  If the cause is right, then spirits turn righteous and actions are honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield promotes fellowship amongst members and citizens, defends the province of [[Therengia]], teaches Therengian lore, aids in assistance of the citizens and preserves the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new to share this knowledge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Mission==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Sponsor Order run events open to all Citizens of the Elanthia (Flea Markets, Treasure Hunts, Pirate Hunts, Date Auctions, Parties, etc...).&lt;br /&gt;
#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is what we seek as a unified body of spirits who have amiable hearts. We are determined to rise up and ennoble those that are humble, empower those who are powerless, and defend the defenseless. With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now where proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Mission==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;
#Sponsor Order run events open to all Citizens of the Elanthia (Flea Markets, Treasure Hunts, Pirate Hunts, Date Auctions, Parties, etc...).&lt;br /&gt;
#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is what we seek as a unified body of spirits who have amiable hearts. We are determined to rise up and ennoble those that are humble, empower those who are powerless, and defend the defenseless. With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now where proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

With earnest prayer we seek the power to change ourselves to better beings. Should we, by grace, receive such power, we ask for the wisdom in application to further greater good of the Order. Always we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the whole, and the whole is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there was only one. A [[Paladin]], a known and respected warrior of virtue, gathered unto himself nine of his closest friends and allies. He spoke to them a dream he held close to his heart. A dream of a organized group of close friends, adventurers, sages and poets who would come together to protect their homes and friends, lend aid to harried souls who toil across the Realms, and protect the weak and impoverished. The nine were inspired by the paladin&#039;s words and they swore an oath to make his dream a reality. Truth be told, none of them knew what they had gotten themselves into.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Late at night, the first ten gathered around a small fire in a cozy cabin near the city of [[Therenborough]]. Many such nights would follow as the foundations were laid for what would become The Order of the Dragon Shield. [[Naveraun]], the first paladin, worked many hours with quill and ink and parchment laying to written word the dream he held. His close friend, [[Devihn]], noble paladin of the Realms, spent much time working hand in hand with Naveraun. Carefully, so that Naveraun&#039;s intent was not changed, Devihn scribed what would become our Charter.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ranger]] [[Purrlin]], in a moment inspiration, spoke the words that became our Motto. &amp;quot;Many Swords, One Shield.&amp;quot; A humble woman of virtue, Purrlin is also responsible for the badge that we now where proudly upon our chests.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The S&#039;Kra healer [[Lys]] and her husband [[Naul]] the [[Warrior Mage]] spent many late nights working with the suggestions of others to produce the Laws which bind all of the Shield. They used the guidelines set down by the Great Mages, but nothing became Law until all had agreed upon the fairness of the Law.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Order of the Dragon Shield stands for basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces.

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Dragon Shield promotes fellowship amongst members and citizens, defends the province of [[Therengia]], teaches Therengian lore, aids in assistance of the citizens and preserves the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new to share this knowledge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Our Goals as an Official Order include, but are not limited to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
#Promote fellowship amongst our members and the Citizens of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
#Defend the Province of Therengia and specifically the Town of Riverhaven during times of Invasion or War.&lt;br /&gt;
#Help the general populace of the Realms by teaching, listening, healing, raising, and coming to the defense of those that cry out for our aid.&lt;br /&gt;

#To preserve the history and lore of Elanthia by searching and collecting all information old and new and to share this knowledge as best we can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, proud citizens of Elanthia, chose to found this Order of the Dragon Shield for the following reasons and purpose;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning there was just a dream, a small glint in the eyes of a few. Behind it all was such enthusiasm and determination that a spark was born. From that spark a fire was lit, and from that fire a forge was built. From our forge a shield was struck. With this shield Elanthia we&#039;ll defend.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To all those who wish to be heard and seen as an equal, to all those who seek to be part of principal better than themselves as an individual, to all those who seek to bring honor to their guild, and to all those who seek not the privilege of power but the providence of truth, here is your home!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We humble souls strive to bring a sense of honor, loyalty, truth and acceptance to our order, &amp;quot;The Order of the Dragon Shield.&amp;quot; Our group stands for a basic understanding that life is diversified and has many faces. Even with such diversity we can become united in spirit with a cause that makes us much more than who we are as an individual. If our cause be right, then our spirits turn righteous and our actions honorable.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vazar]] the Paladin was the first to use the name Order of the Dragon Shield, a name he received from a vision of a lone warrior defending a small child from the World Dragon with nothing more than a battered shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deathpick]] the [[Thief]], [[Jackaltooth]] the [[Cleric]] and [[Niktoahl]] the Ranger came together to help protect the members of our Order in its early days when there were those that wished that it would not come to be. Even though not yet a formal Order of the Realms, they roamed far and wide upholding the beliefs of our Order. They voiced their opinions in the meetings that were held, making certain that the Laws and Charter were written fairly for all and that not one voice went unheard.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The last of the ten, but certainly not the least, was [[Razzer]] the [[Bard]], whose words and deeds and expensive bar tabs spread the word to others who wished to be part of the dream of equality, freedom for all and protection for those unable to defend themselves. Razzer brought to our small cabin recruits both young and old, adding more voices to the chorus.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was not easy, in those early days. No one ever said the path we chose to take would be easy, and for good reason. If they had, we would have strung him up to dance a jig from the leafless tree. Setbacks were more common than progress. The Great Mage [[Naiph]] worked with us, but she was a grueling taskmaster. Rumors of scandals were spread, lives were threatened, hearts were broken and tears shed both in sorrow and joy. But strong wills persevered and the first ten became fifteen, then twenty and still more flocked to the banner which waved solemnly above a small house outside the city of Therenborough.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the newly forged Order was ready, Naveraun stood proudly before the forty strong swords that numbered our strength and the Shield was born. We had become an official Order, but the adventure had only just begun. As long as there are those who share the dream, there will always be a place for them to come together and comrades in arms to hold palaver with.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many Swords, One Shield&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rallyne has served as Councillor for the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]], Steward for [[House Giraud]] and has previously served with the Baron&#039;s Own Militia and the Northern Watch. She is known in [[Therengia]] for her sharp wit and mischievousness. She has become a master bladesmith and enjoys forging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
Hellion Rallyne Froststream, Hellion of the Order of the Dragon Shield&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She has sparkling topaz eyes and strawberry-streaked honey hair that is very long and curly, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has fair skin and a curvaceous figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Rallyne had an unremarkable childhood until her family travelled to [[Crossing]] for a shopping trip in 369. There was an invasion, and she became separated from them until found by a ranger who took her to safety in a treehouse. She could not find her family and after some months under the ranger&#039;s tutelage, he brought her to [[Riverhaven]] where she found her home. Crestfallen, she did her best to fit in and by the month of Shorka, 370, joined the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]] where she started what became a life long commitment to [[Therengia]]. She was befriended by another [[Order of the Dragon Shield|Shielder]], [[Drexella]], and became first a military liaison and then an aide on her Ambassadorial staff. When [[Drexella]] formed [[House Giraud]], Rallyne was made a member of and served as the Steward. She also served in the Baron&#039;s Own Militia, and with the Northern Watch. She made several bad choices in romance, until she finally wed Marganus. She was later reunited with her lost nephew and only known family, Angorath. She recently was appointed  as an Ambassador for [[Therengia]] to King [[Raenilar]]&#039;s court of Outcast Tribes, King [[Arhhdan]] of [[Muspar&#039;i]], and to [[Talorc|High King Talorc]] of the Gypsy Tribes. Shortly thereafter, she was made Court Advisor to Baron Gyfford. She left that position to raise her children and now that they have grown has returned to service with the Order of the Dragon Shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with all things, life moves forward and its been no different for Rallyne. With her children grown and gone, and her husband on a quest to try and manipulate the bad magic into good, she has been left to her own devices. She has chosen to release Marganus as her spouse so he can better concentrate on his efforts. You can still find her in Riverhaven for, no matter how far she travels from it, she always feels more at home there.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
Prince of [[Zoluren]] (364 AV - 394 AV).  Preceeded by his cousin [[Sirolarn]], succeeded by his son, [[Belirendrick IV]] with Princess [[Arilana]] acting as regent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Milestones==&lt;br /&gt;
Born 335 AV.  Only son of Prince [[Belirendrick III]] and wife, Lady [[Selan]] [[Weyato]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 360 AV  his father [[Belirendrick III]] was assassinated. With the assistance of his mother&#039;s relatives, [[Vorclaf]] fled to Therengia and remained in hiding while an investigation into the murder took place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 364 AV with the assistance and support of the Therengia, assumed the throne after executing his cousin [[Sirolarn]] for the murder of his father.  [[Vorclaf]] had [[Sirolarn]]&#039;s head placed on a pike outside the East Gate of Crossing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 374 AV recalled and appointed new command for the Zoluren militia to combat the growing threat from various &#039;evil&#039; forces allying against the Realm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 376 AV appoints his cousin, [[Lindryl]] interim Royal Steward of Zoluren and vowing vengence upon the Outcasts for the murder of the Ferdahl, mobilizes the militia for the march south in an attempt reclaim Ilithi.  He is joined by his cousin, Baron [[Gyfford]] of Therengia and later Prince [[Fayne]], favored son of Queen [[Morganae]] of the [[Mountain Elf]] clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 376 AV the necromancer [[Velmix]] manages to place a curse upon Vorclaf in an effort to stop his interference in Shard. While quick action by his people prevented full possession, the effects would linger for some time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 382 AV Vorclaf married Princess [[Arilana]] of [[Andreshlew]]. Leaves Zoluren once again in the care of Royal Stewart Lindryl and travels with his new bride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 384 AV returns to [[Ulf&#039;Hara Keep]] with Princess Arilana after receiving word that [[Consumption]] has stricken Crossing and the Royal Steward Lindryl is gravely ill.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 391 AV the Princess Arilana gave birth to fraternal twins. The older Princess [[Inavia]], named for Arilana&#039;s mother.  Followed by a boy, Prince [[Belirendrick IV]], named for Vorclaf&#039;s father.  When asked, Princess Arilana replied that both children resemble their father. (i.e. the children are human) [[http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Post:Zoluren_Questions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 392 AV (Fall) during a relative time of peace by Prince Vorclaf&#039;s decree, General [[Zukir]] disbanded and retired those remaining &#039;official&#039; militias and active members as having served Zoluren with honor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 394 AV (Summer and early Fall), While a devote follower of [[Kertigen]] until this point, Vorclaf received visions from the Immortal [[Meraud]] used to fight the undead scourge [[Lyras]] and her thrall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Died 394 AV (fall) at the hands of the Necromancer [[Lyras]] while leading a raid on her warcamp. Upon his death, Lyras tries to take Vorclaf&#039;s soul, but Meraud intervened and takes the soul to the Starry Road.  See [[The Battle of Sorvendig&#039;s Stand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Death of father, ascent to throne==&lt;br /&gt;
In 360 AV, Prince [[Belirendrick III]] was killed under mysterious circumstances during [[DiSilveron Ball|Grand Ball]] at [[DiSilveron Manor]].  Vorclaf disappeared after this.  In his absence, Vorclaf&#039;s cousin [[Sirolarn]] was named Regent and subsequently appointed himself Prince.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, during the conclusion of [[Sorrow]]&#039;s war, [[Vorclaf]] returned to Zoluren with Baron [[Jeladric IV]]&#039;s army from [[Therengia]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A delegation from [[Dirge]] was sent to [[Ulf&#039;Hara Keep]] to negotiate with [[Sirolarn]].  He killed a member of the delegation and then fled south, but was captured before reaching the gondola.  [[Sirolarn]] was subsequently executed and had his head placed on a pike outside the East Gate of Crossings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vorclaf eventually had his coronation on (Oct 26 2003) in Ulf&#039;Hara Keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Major events and actions taken during reign==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;One of the Great Houses (noble families, means &amp;quot;Morzindaen&amp;quot; in [[Gamgweth]]) of [[Therengia]]. House Weyato is one of the more significant Morzindaen, as the bulk of the road leading from [[Langenfirth]] to [[Therenborough]] is upon their land.  Weyato is an old and respected House, even having an [[Emperor]] in its history.  The keep of House Weyato, being one very old, has suffered damage in recent battles, and so they have begun efforts to refurbish a [[Gorbesh]]-built fortress located off the twisting trail on the road between Langenfirth and Therenborough as their own.  The House&#039;s crest is an oak tree divided into blooming spring and leafless winter, on a field of half gold and half white.  Currently led by Lord [[Ereic]] Weyato.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Rallyne had an unremarkable childhood until her family travelled to [[Crossing]] for a shopping trip in 369. There was an invasion, and she became separated from them until found by a ranger who took her to safety in a treehouse. She could not find her family and after some months under the ranger&#039;s tutelage, he brought her to [[Riverhaven]] where she found her home. Crestfallen, she did her best to fit in and by the month of Shorka, 370, joined the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]] where she started what became a life long commitment to [[Therengia]]. She was befriended by another [[Order of the Dragon Shield|Shielder]], [[Drexella]], and became first a military liaison and then an aide on her Ambassadorial staff. When [[Drexella]] retired from service, she formed [[House Giraud]], which Rallyne was made a member of and serves as the Steward. She also served in the Baron&#039;s Own Militia, and with the Northern Watch. She made several bad choices in romance, until she finally wed Marganus. She was later reunited with her lost nephew and only known family, Angorath. She recently was appointed  as an Ambassador for [[Therengia]] to King [[Raenilar]]&#039;s court of Outcast Tribes, King [[Arhhdan]] of [[Muspar&#039;i]], and to [[Talorc|High King Talorc]] of the Gypsy Tribes.&lt;br /&gt;
