The Corintar Order was a formalization of state by the adventurers of the Corintar which was comprised of several members of Corin's Circle after her death, most notably Lothane Bluetusk, their first Grandmaster.
History[]
Founded shortly after Corin's death at the Battle of Castonath, the Corintar order was at first, simply one of many adventuring groups attempting to reclaim Escann from The Greentide. With the evangelizing efforts of Dominic of Gallowspeak and Lothane, Corintar became the center first of Corin's ascension to the Regent Court pantheon and later, when Castellos's death was revealed during the Age of Unraveling, the center of the new Corinite faith.
Notes: they were stabilizing force in Escann until they were destroyed. The fall of the Corintar has a deeply depressing effect on the psychology of Escann, and represents the end of romantic Escann and the ‘triumph of Evil over Good.’
In the 17th century, after being conquered by Esthíl, the Corintar would splinter into two groups; the radical Corinite Crusaders and the more moderate New Corintar. The Corinite Crusaders grew directly out of the old Corintar order and waged many wars across Cannor and even into Anbennar to fulfill their goal of bringing justice to the world. Their cause was popular and their ranks were bolstered constantly by the faithful.
In contrast, New Corintar operated in secrecy and was a much smaller organization. While they nominally shared the same ideals as their Crusader counterparts, their reach was far more widespread, touching all parts of the world. They supported the causes of freedom, the betterment of all, and justice even when those they aided had never heard the name of Corin.
