The First [[MHO]]. Based in [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. <br />
<br />
==Principles==<br />
The Oath of the Order<br><br />
“To Defend Our Town and The People Who Live Within It.<br><br />
To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.<br><br />
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.<br><br />
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”<br />
<br />
==History of the Order==<br />
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.<br />
<br />
==Insignia==<br />
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a Knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.<br />
<br />
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events can occasionally open them for tours and they were used as part of the Storyline during the War with Jantalar when the Holding was overtaken and Raznel conducted experiments below.<br />
<br />
==Meetings==<br />
<br />
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding with occasional Fridays to allow for schedule shifts.<br />
<br />
==Leadership & Structure==<br />
The Order has always been lead democratically, but several years later expanded and adopted a Leader with a First and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs. <br />
<br />
Prior to the leader system meetings were chaired for the sake of keeping things on track. Sir Brinn and Dame Deavon filled as co-chairs for the first 3 years of the Orders existence. Sir Brinn was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War an Sir Cryheart led the Order from 2005-2015. Sir Geijon has been leader since 2016.<br />
<br />
==Genealogy==<br />
The core of the OSG originated from a handful members called upon by Maldon to find other like-minded individuals at the onset of his mission.<br><br />
