The Order

“Equilibrium must be maintained.”Avillion, known as the Order of Equilibrium, stands as warden to the unnatural and keeper of the forbidden. The Order studies, safeguards, and contains anomalies, relics, and beings of extraordinary capabilities -- preserving balance where others see only danger.Formed around the discovery of Gaiana’s Heartstone, a sentient relic that chooses its bearers, the Order now seeks to reunite it with its lost counterparts: Luminara’s Crest and Solstice’s Shard, fragments of a greater relic from the Fifth Astral Era.When the Grand Companies encounter the inexplicable, they call upon the Order of Equilibrium.
Where the unknown stirs, the Order answers.Preserve balance. Study the forbidden. Protect the unknown.

THE LORE

Short Story: “Bygone”Gaiana’s Heartstone is a fragment of an unknown Major Relic, believed to be associated somehow to Nymeia, of the Twelve. Ancient depictions within a resurfaced temple of Nym had revealed a once whole relic being used sometime during, potentially, the sixth Umbral Era, around 1,500 years ago. The depictions were unclear of its use and the archaeologist that had made the discovery has since passed. Further depictions noted that the Major Relic had descended from the stars even further before the sixth Umbral Era. No information is known beyond this.
