The House of the Golden Flower

 

GoldenFlower_copyA social guild, where literacy and knowledge are ranked higher than clumsy and brutish weapons. Initiates, when asked to join the Golden Flower, must pass many tests, devoting decades of their lives to learning about the natural world, various magics, and intense conditioning of the mind and body.

Aggression is frowned upon, yet in a last resort they posess the knowledge and conditioning to wield sword or bow with skill. Reasoning and justice are encouraged. Many of the Golden Flower are valiant knights, counselors of the king, members of the Archmage Council, mediators and teachers. The Golden Flower also has many aspects of a secret society, with their own greetings and a devised language that few outside of the House have ever been able to understand. Membership to the House is lifelong, and is often hereditary. The Golden Flower has a noble reputation amid the East Realm and it's members are highly respected.
