In 332, the Year of the Amber Phoenix, deep in the forests surrounding Leth Deriel, a pact was made in a secluded glade known only to the locals. They called the place Black Fox Hollow after the rare and gentle foxes that once resided there. Fourteen families, seeing trouble ahead, pledged that they and their children would forever protect Elanthia and its traditions from evil. Their children were sent to Therengia to learn the ways and teachings of Elanthia. When they returned as adults, they found their Sylvan home much changed. So they banded together to continue the wisdom of their elders and became the founding council for the Order of the Black Fox, a group to which all Elanthians might look for leadership, guidance and a sense of family and support.<br> |

History
In 332, the Year of the Amber Phoenix, deep in the forests surrounding Leth Deriel, a pact was made in a secluded glade known only to the locals. They called the place Black Fox Hollow after the rare and gentle foxes that once resided there. Fourteen families, seeing trouble ahead, pledged that they and their children would forever protect Elanthia and its traditions from evil. Their children were sent to Therengia to learn the ways and teachings of Elanthia. When they returned as adults, they found their Sylvan home much changed. So they banded together to continue the wisdom of their elders and became the founding council for the Order of the Black Fox, a group to which all Elanthians might look for leadership, guidance and a sense of family and support.
At one time, the full story of the founding of the Order of the Black Fox could be found in the book, "The History of the Order of the Black Fox". Unfortunately, over time, this book has been misplaced. It is the hope of our scholars that it may one day be found or re-written from verbal accounts gathered from those who were once among our ranks. This project has personally been taken under the leadership of the Speaker, Kohab.
Mission
The primary purpose Of the Order of the Black Fox is to guide those newly arrived in Elanthia in understanding the customs, culture, and history of the various races and peoples of our lands so they might understand and follow the traditions of Elanthia.
Projects such as the restoration of public buildings and monuments damaged by war and the passage of time are supported by the Order, as well as efforts to document and preserve the history of the Realms.
The Order of the Black Fox strives to be an extended family and to provide care and support for all who abide by the laws and traditions of Elanthia.
In keeping with this, the order is also dedicated to helping the various people's of Elanthia remember and honor their cultural traditions and history. It is our belief that by sharing these in an atmosphere of mutual respect, we will come to understand and respect each other better.
The Order will offer both its members' services and its own premises to any who request assistance, providing secure and neutral ground on which the disputants may meet to discuss and attempt to resolve their differences, end conflicts and secure treaties of any kind.
Goals
1. Promote activities designed to help people learn and understand the traditions and history of the lands as well as sharing the traditions and history of their own diverse backgrounds and cultures.
2. Inspire the citizens of Elanthia to find enjoyment and gratification beyond the quest for material reward and personal gain.
3. Help those in need, regardless of personal recognition or glory.
4. Provide guidance to the inexperienced.
5. Provide a refuge from the storm and a place for convivial interaction.
