The Order of the Crimson Dove

For as long as there has been peace between Nordstead and Rome, there has also existed a lingering tension. With such vastly different political and social environments being forced to mutually maintain a province, events that have threatened to pit the two domains against each other once more have naturally occured.

The Order of the Crimson Dove has been at the center of each of them.

The first of the Order were recruited by Eirene, Greek goddess of peace. Their mission was as simple as it was vital: to keep the peace between the two great empires at all costs. The order has many rules and tenets, but none more important than their Final Directive, written half in Nordic, half in Latin:

"En vedstråling av blod // potest esse a matre a flumine"  (pronounced "en vedstraling ahv bluud potest ess a matray ah fluminah")

“A trickle of blood can be a dam for a river.”
