History:
The order of the Iron Gauntlet was founded by Igor Ironchain in 2953 after he singlehandedly defeated a trio of Frostgiants and their Yeti and took back his village from their control. He freed the city of it's oppressors, only to replace them. He said if the people of Mosheurhiel can't defend themself that he will do it for them, and in return all they had to do was obey him. He quickly gathered followers and founded the order of the Iron Gauntlet.
In 2971 the order, still under Igors control, had grown exponentially. Igor decided they would hunt an ancient white dragon who had a lair north of the capital of Mosheurhiel, Yuchary. The battle took days, but in the end the order was victorious. They claimed the dragons lair for themselves and turned it into their new headquarters, a fortress of iron and ice. The dragonshoard made the order rich, rich enough to spread their influence outside of Mosheurhiel. Offering their services to those who were willing to pay to remove the sheep and install true leader in their place.
The dragons skull was turned into a throne for Igor. And after Igor died in 3234, at the age of 339, his skull was placed upon the top of the throne. After Igor's death, Ivan Illon became the leader of the order. Ivan remained the orders leader for 189 years, until Malphon Granite killed Illon in single combat during a blizzard. Malphon now leads the order. Under Malphon's leadership, the order has continued to grow and extend their influences further into the world.


Known goals and plans:
The order of the Iron Gauntlet has become more ruthless under Malphans leadership. They are a brutal group of mercenaries, but also seeks to further their own goals by killing the weak and making sure only the strong survive.
The order of the Iron Gauntlet also has a strong rivalary with the Swords of justice. They continuously try to thwart their plans. Malphon enjoys to see the members of the Swords of justice suffer and fail in their attempts to help the weak. He personally created elaborate plans to give them falls hope only to take it away at the last moment.
