Amoungst Order

About
The Amoungst is an order operating mainly in the highlands. Many claim they are manipulating political systems and the people in power. It is not known how powerful they really are, and how many are members or have fallen victim to the order, but there is definitive proof that the order had once existed.

Origin
The origin of the order is unknown and there are many legends and myths regarding it. Accounts of the order stretch back nearly two millenias, making the Amoungst Order older than Clan McLad (although Clan McLad was derived from other major lad factions).

History
The Amoungst order is an ancient order of lads that was created to support and guide the first lads. They later developed into more of military order. They were always secretive, but when the blessed chieftains died out went completely into hiding. The order remained in the shadows for centuries until they, according to them, made Thurbald into the chieftain.

The order was then outlawed by Thurbald after making their first appearance since the line of the first lads because they were seen as a threat to his authority and power. However, no real effort was put into hunting them down and they returned into hiding.

In and after the Goatmanor Bloodbath they were persecuted by the King Arse Guard and were almost completely obliterated.
