The Order of the Dark Feather

An organized network of adventuring companies working within the borders of Kedra, under the sponsorship of the church of the Raven Queen. The Order of the Dark Feather is organized into 26 independent chapterhouses, each of which sponsors between 3 and 25 members of classed adventurers.

Each chapter is required to have a servant of the Raven Queen to act as advisor, to ensure that the chapters methods and actions do not stray from the tenets of the church. Many high-ranking members of the Church hierarchy spent at least an adventure or two within the ranks of the Order.

There is a Chapterhouse of the Order at Fort Vickery, presently made up of 8 adventurers.

The three largest chapterhouses are based, in order, in the capital city of Crownhill, the fortress city of Lion's Gate, and the city of Ardeth.

The Order also has close ties to a scholarly subsect of the church called The Sages of the Ebon Quill which is centered in the city of Ardeth.

Members who have recieved training and indocrination within the order qualify for the ODF background. The benefit for the ODF background is that you die after failing 4 death saves instead of 3.
