Tarian Order

The Tarian Order is one of two of the Elite Orders still established. They are an order of protectors. Because of Romaine’s Gift, they still have Royal support, but that support is waning. They have very little political power, and approval for advancement to Adept is at the whim of Parliament.

The Cascian Order was folded into the Tarians, bringing with them the Question of the Bridge.

To advance in the order, a potential Tarian must spends three years as an Initiate and at least two years as a Candidate. If a Candidate fails to pass any advancement tests, they are washed out of the order.

There are only five Tarian chaperhouses that are still accepting Initiates: Maradaine, Porvence (Acora), Fencal (Kesta), Vargox (Monim), and Korafina (Scaloi).
