The Ord an Dragan is a clan primarily dedicated to helping other adventurers, upholding justice, and exemplifying honor in the lands.

Their official website is located here.

Location

Baile Dragan, which is the home of the clan, opened in November of 2010 just south of the town of Wehnimer's Landing. After you cross the bridge on the way to the Graveyard, head south, go down the tree-lined cobblestone road and then into their courtyard. Various members and non-members can usually be found resting through the tankard-carved door.

The Ord has meetings on the first Restday(Sunday) of the month at 10 PM Eastern in the Wyrm's Rest at Baile Dragan. Meetings are open to everyone, and free spell ups are offered at the conclusion.

Clan hunts are also hosted by the Ord on Niiman(Thursday) evenings at 9 PM from the Wyrm's Rest. The hunts are open to clan members and friends.

Tale of the Founding of Ord an Dragan

In Elanthia’s history there has been four different ages leading from beginning to present. Throughout these four ages (the time of The Drakes, the Elves, Time of Chaos, and the Modern Era) the land has experienced much struggle and strife that has tested the survivability of all the races, from the mighty Drakes and Arkatis down through the ranks. Regardless how powerful one particular group had been their time eventually came. The Drakes for all their power and glory were severely crippled by the Drake/Ur-Daemon war. They fought by themselves and did not unite the other races behind them. The Arkati even though they healed the land from the Drake/Ur-Daemon war and empowered the lesser races, failed to unite them. The Age of the Elves, for all their wisdom and might saw their empire fall with their war against Despana and the undead legions which ushered in the age of Chaos. Time and again the strength of one particular group has never been enough to guarantee the survivability of peace.

The Drakes learned a valuable lesson at their end “what affects one race affects us all!” They sought to create out of the ashes of the Age of the Drakes, a small group of individuals that shared the same vision as those of the ancient ones. A group of individuals who would carry the virtues of Justice, Honor, and Loyalty to each other in cultivating the potential of all life in the fight against the evil forces that would see them destroyed. So the Ord An Dragan, or the “Order of the Dragon” was born.

This group, although small in number, worked in the shadows; different races united as one. Bringing their individual talents, powers, abilities, knowledge, skills, and passion, they stove to help the lands recover from the great Ur- Daemon War. Although the Arkati grew into distinct factions after the War, those in the Ord An Dragan held steadfast to their greatest strength, each other.

In the Age of Chaos at the battle of Shadow Guard in Circa 15,186 scholars recognize that the unprecedented alliance of Dwarves, Giantmen, Elven Houses, Humans, Sylvans, Halflings, and the like were vital in turning the tie of the war. A first ever union of such a large scale but a lesson that those in the Ord An Dragan of the day encouraged and nurtured in order to make the difference. This was also a pivotal point in the history of the Clan. After this battle the clans’ numbers and influence grew and established itself further as the last line of defense for the survival of Elanthia. The Drakes were right in forming the clan and in establishing its creed.

Through the years those of the Ord An Dragan Clan have been quietly but steadfastly present watching, recording, growing, and encouraging the values which they hold dear. Members of the clan were aware of the discovery of the Gnomes and present at the arrivals of the Erithians and Aelotoi. Members of the Clan joined in, along with the Ta’Illistim guards, in the defense of the Aelotoi when they were attacked by the Kiramon who chased them through the portal upon their arrival. This event was the first official record of the Ord An Dragan Clan in the areas of Ta’Illistim. However, Wehnimer’s Landing was seen as a more ideal place for a natural home due to its unparalleled number of diversity of races; it being a port city; and its geographical close proximity to the borders of the Human Empire, Terras Isles, Soulhaven, and Icemule Trace.

Since then, the Clan members have been arbiters of justice and cultivators of honor and diversity. The clan has provided a home where each individual’s Potential is cultivated and protected, the unity of their powers coming together as strong and potent as those of the Dragon. It falls on the shoulders of the few to honor and hold each other in the highest regard and to protect and cultivate those who would follow in their footsteps in protecting the lands from what may come! The Dragons are no longer populous enough to stop evil or maintain the right for all to coexist for a second time. So we hold this guardianship in their stead: “To Honor the Strength in Unity for the benefit of all.
