-A monastic organization originating in the [[Wildlands]], the Order of the Eclipse is dedicated to the promulgation of law and the abolition of chaos. To this end they see the practices and activities of the [[Nine Hells]] as something to emulate. The Order is often seeking ancient tomes and rituals to draw power from the Nine Hells, and to summon its denizens. They are not concerned with the morality of their methods, only the end result. The monks of the Order operate as the spiritual leadership, while a contingent of hellknights works alongside them to enact the Order's will.+A monastic organization originating in the [[Wildlands]], the Order of the Eclipse is dedicated to the promulgation of law and the abolition of chaos.

 The symbol of the Order is a white halo over a black starburst. Common attire for members are black robes or tunics with a white cape or cloak, and the stylized eclipse is often embossed on the back. Acolytes who have advanced to the rank of Signifer add a red or crimson border to their cuffs and the trim of their capes or cloaks, representative of the blood so often used in their rituals. Hellknights are only permitted to wear unadorned armor until they have slain an agent of chaos. Often, this is a demon summoned in an advancement ceremony, though some consider it a personal quest to seek out such a foe in the wilds. Once a hellknight has proven themselves, they don a dark grey armor with the eclipse adorning the breastplate. Spikes are often added to the helm and pauldrons to promote an intimidating appearance. The symbol of the Order is a white halo over a black starburst.

 +==== Schism ====
 +While a branch of the organization was established in Tharis, their views splintered from the accepted doctrine. They welcomed beasts and abandoned their human-centric philosophy, growing into just another arm of the Tharis military. While they maintain use of the name, they are considered anathema to the true Order of the Eclipse.
