History of the Order
Following the decline of An Cinn Fiair, the Quillborn Order was founded by the remains of the Household of Sun Wukong V - the most recent in the line of Simian Kings. The Monkey King and his closest retainers resolved to adopt peaceful ways and began a new organisation only concerned with what was best for the people of Templehelm. The new order took a remote, but beautiful island as their new headquarters. Under the wise rule of Sun Wukong V, this brotherhood now carries out their monastic duties and arcane research.

Shortly after establishing Redwall, the brothers formed an alliance with the Constructs of Adventus. Both groups recognized the value of knowledge and hence swore the "Oath of the Quill and Fountain" - a sacred covenant marking their brotherhood. To this day, both groups have remained staunch friends of each other, always eager to help the other. Some say that ethereal creatures have been spotted ferrying crates of scrolls across Templehelm; others claim to have seen robed men entering the spires of the Enigma during the darkest hours of the night. After the War of the Market, the brothers of the Order soon took over responsibilities from the warriors of Mortifera, who themselves have withdrawn from the world.

Oath of the Quill
Details TBA.

Tenets of the Order
1. Respect all creeds, religions, opinions and people in public. There is nothing wrong with maintaining opinions, but do not expect anything from anybody else - people should respect your beliefs, but they don't.

2. You can always depend on your brothers until death. Feel free to bring up any issues that you are concerned with - there is nothing to fear. If you are wronged, you can rely on them to support you to the very end.

3. We are a peaceful Order - be polite and try to maintain clear tones when engaging with other parties. However, do not allow this to cloud the distinction between right and wrong, and true and false.

4. All brothers of the Quillborn are valuable and respected - the King-Seat or his Deputy may make a lot of the critical decisions, and the Knights may advise them on whatever matter, but do not feel that you are any less a brother of the Order. The chain of command exists to provide structure and organisation, not to belittle or promote any particular brothers.

5. At the end of the day, when all is done and dusted, the Order stands for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If any brother of the Order obtains valid information vital to a relevant subject and sees a need to share it, then they can count on the full support of the Order.

Structure of the Order
King-Seat of the Order, overall leader of the Order and public representative. Four knights of equal status, advisers to the King and exemplars of the Oath. Brothers of the Order, all of equal rights, with distinctions based on service and merit - Novice, Junior, Senior, Veteran.
