Order of the Stone Hand/Graven Glyph

Posted on June 28, 2016 in Steel-Realms

Order of the Stone Hand is a standard Occult Order of the Steel Realms with standard benefits geared to the magus.
– Command of Occult arcane powers and entities. The institution generally follows the Occult Culture of the Realms; It maintains the Standard Occult Reliquary of the Steel Realms for members and the Mystical Discernment service of the Ryadian Oblis in most of its chapter houses and affiliate locations.

Sorcerers Prohibited: This order, as with all formal and accepted Occult Orders and Institutions & Factions of the Steel Realms Heartlands, has an official policy to not accept Practitioners of Sorcery into their ranks. This has been true since the Purge of the Hidden in CY 5009 – CY 5311, and is duty bound to report them to the Guild of Solars when they are encountered.

Also known as the Order of the Graven Glyph. When it was created, it was created under the this name, and it attempted to bridge the efforts of House Malor in Dunstrand and the Northern Merchant Cities in providing a neutral party for peace negotiations and monitoring arcane perils between the two territories.

All mages of the order carry a rod of power, attuned to the Graven Glyph. The rod allows them to enter the formal audience chambers in the guild hall, and identifies them. Each apprentice must find a unique material or item out of which to craft their own rod. Rods average around 1m in length – some have been used as maces and are made for physical combat, others purely for magical powers and status display.
