Regoria Kinship
Location
The Regoria Kinship is an organization of citizens native to what is commonly referred to as the Splintered Lands, when speaking of politics, or the Arach Zeer (Twin Seas), when speaking of geography.
Purpose
Initially they were an organization created by Intellin, the 23rd Emperor of Regorn, to help ensure peace throughout the Empire. Since the empires slow splintering and loss of control they have become a third party organization who does acts of good around the entirety of Arkach Zire.
Their mission is to ensure the safety of citizens who wish not to be in the many conflicts across Arkach Zeer between the many nations created from the empires dissolution.
Special Weaponry
The Heria, created by the legendary smith Herond, has long been the signature weapon of the Regoria Kinship. It is a single double-edge longsword which has the capability of splitting into two shortswords.
History
In 430 RG (Regorn Genesis) the Kinship was created by order of Emperor Intellin as an additional means of peacekeeping within the Empire. During this period of time the organization was headed by Congrave Patra Nimero, who was known for actively ensuring the safety of civilians during raids and sieges done during his time in Regorn's army.
By 472 RG their good deeds spread far and wide and the number of people willing to join their ranks inflated. They turned many away and created a set of criteria Kinship needed to follow (See sidebar). This criteria was founded on the philosophies set by Legar Volnira, the woman known for causing one of the greatest religious shifts in Regorn's history.
After the Splintering of the Salted Morass (now known as the nation Ssaliss) and the Knorian Watershed (now known as the nation Knorrun) around 563 RG, Emperor Wilnor called all military personnel to his aid so they could collectively put down the insurrections within the Salted Morass. This was commonplace for the Regoria Kinship and they expected they were going to be adding support on the citizen end, helping the sick, and escorting children away. When they got to the battleground the orders given by Emperor Wilnor, who was present at the battle, gave the order to leave no survivors, something no Emperor had done before.
Cromadia Kilian Nimero in that moment had to make a tough decision, to abide by the criteria and philosophy of the Kinship, or to abide by the longstanding laws set by the Empire. In fear for he and his fellow members he chose to abide by the laws of the Empire, but allowed all who wished to leave the battlefield saying he would return after and fix everything. The battle was a massacre, and led to the long standing skepticism of the people of the Salted Morass against outside influence, particularly against the Regoria Kinship who bore very recognizable symbols and armors.
Upon returning to their Stronghold Cromadia Kilian Nimero along with everyone who participated in the battle renounced their vows and membership with the Regoria Kinship, but never notified the Emperor of the leadership change.
In 572 RG after a few decisive losses on Emperor Wilnor's behalf left the Regorn army spread thin and any extra protection being valuable. Wilnor called upon the Regoria Kinship once more, but only Kilian Nimero showed up and Emperor Wilnor took what he could. Later that night Kilian Nimero poisoned the Emperor, killing him.
This sent Regorn into a spiral of horrible, paranoid leadership which eventually ended in the loss of nearly 80% of their empire by 604 RG.
Since the dissolution of the Regorn Empire the Regoria Kinship has long since kept strong and kept their name well in the eyes of the people. They have been growing in popularity since, but have struggled to hold a strong name and presence in the new nations of Ssaliss, and the leftover land which now goes by Regorn (no longer Regorn Empire).
