The White Order of the Light

Tenets: Honor. Compassion. Discipline.

Restrictions: Wizards and Sorcerers only.

The White Order of the Light is a society of mages that seeks to better the world of magic, and by extension, the world as a whole. Like all Mage Orders, we work primarily within the sphere of the Arcane. We are mages and, indeed, citizens of the world; we cannot pretend that we exist in a vacuum. We are parts of societies, cultures, and organizations, and are beholden to those entities for our rights and privileges as individuals.

To enact change for the benefit of all, we must be willing to function as lawful, responsible members of the social orders in which we live, fighting injustice whenever possible. As mages, we have a double responsibility, for with the great power granted to us by Andrinor comes the necessity to use our gifts with compassion and care. Innocent lives must be protected from the ravages of tyranny, oppression, and mindless mayhem, for all life is entitled to safety and comfort, stability and happiness.

We believe that the means one uses to achieve a goal are just as important as the goal itself; life, beauty, and truth are things to be cherished and protected in the long-term as well as the immediate future, and it may not be immediately apparent to the individual what ill effects arise using questionable approaches. In order to achieve our goals, it is important that mages practice discipline, honor, and compassion along with their spellbooks so that they can be better prepared to stand up for what they believe.
