The Derdian Order is a conglomeration of faith-bound servants who have dedicated their lives towards a singular divine cause, and comprises of good religious sects (and even a few neutral) working together to uphold the common principle of good and to vanquish all evil that would stand against it.
Servants of Derdian exist across the entire country of Dorna and range from (but are not limited to) mighty knights to faith-bound clerics. To dedicate oneself fully to their faith, they must declare an oath of loyalty to Derdian; for this is their vow to uphold the values of peace and prosperity through the union of good.
The Derdian oath is made to an ancient hero (Kalek Derdian) that many years ago brought the faiths together, after eons of feuding, to serve the Realm. This alliance of the faiths has allowed the faiths to grow in influence and power across the country of Dorna, as various emissaries of different faiths are allowed to act as direct counsel to the rulers of the realm (the Imperial crown) to represent the complex interests of each of their faiths.
The main allied faiths are towards the following deities:

• Pelor,
• Avandra,
• Sehanine Moonbow,
• Erathis,
• Moradin,
• Yondalla,
• Garl Glittergold,
• Corellon Larethian,
• Kord, and
• Heironeous.

Enemies to the Order are decreed by the Derdian Council (which is seated by at least one representative of each faith – major faiths would contain multiple emissaries).
Such enemies of the Order would include practitioners of evil worship, direct enemies to any of the faiths included in the alliance (not necessarily evil) as well as enemies declared so by crown.
The Derdian Order can and does impose the rule of law in Dorna, especially where their influence is strong, however they are ultimately always answerable to the crown.
