Order of Kosmos

The Order of Kosmos is an old institution in the Aurelian Empire, with some saying that its origins lie in the Elder regime. The Order focuses upon the worship of Oa, lord of the gods. Their core tenets focus around the search for and collection of knowledge and wisdom.

Oa is seen by the vast majority of Imperials as the God of Knowledge, and the Order of Kosmos as a sect is devoted to this path. Their temples are immense libraries, with endless categorised information. Junior priests work as scribes, analysing, recording, copying and disseminating the vast store of information.

However, only members of the Order are allowed access to the temples. They preach to the common citizenry, but those not raised in the Order cannot access any texts. The Order sees itself as the guardian of this knowledge, and only they are worthy to possess it.

The Order hoards its knowledge and does not share. It seeks to use this knowledge to guide the world, advising nobles, senators and even emperors, viewing itself as the wisest and most knowing institution in the land, and therefore the only one fit to guide the future.

Their agents, collecting or guarding information and knowledge across the world, encompass a wide array of people and professions. Wizards, clerics, paladins, druids and bards may all be members of the Order.
