Order of the Flowing Veil

Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Order of the Flowing Veil is a Knight order and also has an elite magical knighthood sworn to porect the Queendom of Ergon, that are referred to as the Scarf Magi. Unlike traditional knights clad in heavy plate armor, the Scarf Magi balance martial prowess with arcane mastery, their flowing scarves acting as both weapons and emblems of their station.   The people of Ergon claim that the order was based on the use of scarf because of the sea-spray in Steinheim.

Structure

The Knighthood is a hierarchical and disciplined order, with a strong emphasis on loyalty, honor, and duty. Their organization mirrors that of a traditional knightly order, though infused with mystical traditions.

Training and Rituals

Becoming a knight of the Flowing Veil is an arduous journey, requiring years of training in both martial and magical disciplines.   Before earning their scarves, initiates must pass the Trials of the Veil—a series of challenges that test their physical, mental, and magical abilities. These trials often include:  
  • The Trial of Harmony: Demonstrating mastery of balancing magic and combat.
  • The Trial of Grace: Showcasing their agility and ability to fight with fluidity.
  • The Trial of Loyalty: Proving their unwavering dedication to the Queendom and its people.
The Binding Ceremony
  Once an initiate has passed the trials, they are presented with their first scarf in a sacred ceremony known as the Binding of the Veil. This ritual binds the scarf to the knight’s essence, marking them as a Scarf Magus of the order.

Culture

As knights, the Scarf Magi adhere to a strict code of conduct, combining martial discipline with a mystical philosophy that emphasizes balance, harmony, and unity.  
  • Honor Through Balance: The Scarf Magi believe in wielding power responsibly, with their scarves symbolizing the balance between magic and steel, destruction and creation.
