Hoar
The Hunters of Vengance are an informal order of bounty hunters.
The Fellowship of Poetic Justice is an order of bards and crusaders founded in the aftermath of the Times of Trouble. Dedicated to both Hoar and Tyr and supported by clergy from both faiths, members of the fellowship seek to spread tales of ironic justice throughout the Realms.

| Wizards in the cult of Karsus formed the Order of Thaumaturgists. Many researched new spells in the wake of Mystryl’s demise and the subsequent transformation of the nature of magic. Some of their long-lost spell tomes may still survive in shattered towers scattered about the confines of the Dire Wood. |

Nobanion
The Legion of Lions is a military order of wemic firemanes, clerics and crusaders. In the aftermath of the Time of Troubles , this unorthodox fellowship of beast knights was founded by Karrlon, formerly a scout of the Mindulgulph Mercenary Company and now a crusader who fights for the Lion God’s standard. Though small in number, this elite fighting company has quickly become the champion of good-aligned beasts throughout the Realms and the bane of Malarites everywhere. |

Red Knight:
The order of the Red Falcon is a fellowship of crusaders, warriors, and a few paladins who serve the Red Knight and Lady Bloodhawk. Small in number, the elite knights of this order are dangerous opponents who have triumphed in the face of overwhelming odds on numerous occasions. Based in the Citadel of Strategic Militancy, many of the knights serve as instructors in the Red War College. Others serve stints in various armies throughout the Realms training the officers in military history. On rare occasions they are all summoned back to the Citadel and led into combat by Lady Bloodhawk herself.
Lady Kaitlin Tindall Bloodhawk, sole heir of Lord Ronlar Bloodhawk, was possessed by the Red Knight to serve as her avatar host.

Sarvas
The Sibylline Sisterhood is a affilation of female oracles who wander western Faerun dispensing prophecies and revealing visions for a modest fee to rich and poor alike. All are capable of defending themselves, and they always seem to anticipate attacks upon their person and plan accordingly. |

Sharess is served by no military or knightly orders. Most professional escorts in major cities join formal or informal guilds led by her clergy however. The Mother of cats is served by a secretive sisterhood of female werecats known as the Eyes of Evening who also pay tribute to Selune. The aims and goals of this mysterious fellowship are unknown, although they< are rumored to hunt cultists of Shar and Loviatar during nights of the full moon.
In Mulhorand, Bast (an Alias of Sharess) has a more militant reputation. A number of adventuring bands who work against Set and his agents, including the Desert Fire and the Daggers of Truth, count Bast as a patroness.

| Shiallia sponsors no military or knightly orders, but an order of female swanmay rangers in the church of Mielikki have sworn to protect the Sisters of Life and Mercy. This elite sisterhood, known as the Shields of Hope, wanders the High Forest in groups of three escorting the clergy of Shiallia through dangerous regions of that vast woodland so that they can minister to the goodly creatures who reside within. |

Well Victor - its just between fighting with a horde of monsters (my truly lovely children  ) and ducking switches from an old hag (my even more lovely wife ) that I'm able to check the dusty tomes I collected over the years. I like the lore you are collecting here - so I'm glad, that I can be a small part in this impressive work. As I mentioned before, all information is found in the expansion Powers and Pantheons - I'm only quoting with some very slight editorial changes - mostly the text would be to long  If you never heared off the lore - maybe there is a chance to send you the text. Well there is another round of monsters coming - I'm off ... |

| I didn't see this one. But I was perusing the Dwraves Deep supplment. In the Dwarven names section, Ed says this "thus, Dorn is 'Dorn Firedrake' when on the trail with the Company of the Crown of Stars". |

Beshaba has a secret society of assassins dedicated to her name called the Black Fingers. It is comprised of male members of her clergy and evil thieves and fighters.
While by no means defenceless, the Church of Chauntea has no affiliated military or knightly orders. Those who guard its temples and shrines are usually members of the clergy.

Siamorphe
The order of the Silver Chalice was established by Marquise Scion Aalangama Gulderhorn, the second child of Lady Belkerri Gulderhorn, several years after the Time of Troubles.
The Knights look for survivors of the civil war in Tethyr who will govern justly with the interests of the general population closest to their heart and attempt to restore them to positions of power. The Order has recouped a modest position for Tethyr’s fallen nobility in recent years but is currently divided as to whether or not it should support Zaranda Star as ruler of Tethyr

Valkur’s temples sponsor a fleet of war ships garrisoned by the Marines of the Seven Seas. This relatively modest navy has ships stationed in many ports along the Sea of Swords and the Sea of Fallen Stars. They are dedicated to combating monsters of the deep.
One sect of Valkur’s service, known as the Sailors of the Heavenly Seas, have left Faerun to sail the endless reaches of space. These spelljammers rarely return to Faerun and view Valkur as a god of travelling and exploring more than a god of the watery seas.

The Order of One Thousand Nightmares is a company of nightmare-raiding swordwraiths who haunt the Field of the Dead. Although the ghostly warriors have battled each other for centuries, Velsharron’s clergy have recently mastered powerful spells enabling them to organize the contentious spirits of the ancient warriors into a necromantic knighthood of nearly 200 undead mercenaries whose ranks continue to grow. The aims of the necrophant masters of this unholy army are unknown.

The Kenswa-Tokashow, the Children of Eshowdow, are a loosely structured order of crusaders, warriors, and rogues who serve as the elite military arm of the Eshowe. Grouped into squads of three known as Triads, the Children can be found throughout the Jungle of Chult ambushing lone Tabaxi, destroying livestock and farms, and gathering information of their hated foes. The order is dedicated to the elimination of the Tabaxi and the destruction of Mezro.
The Abuya-Deimshowa, the Speakers of the Shadow, are a cabal of senior shadow mages who govern the use of wizard magic among the Eshowe. They work with the Eshewtak (clergy of Eshowdow) and serve as a council of elders who advise the chiefs of the shattered clans.

Sseth
The Viper’s Fang is a secretive order of assassins, spies, and thugs made up of yuan-ti purebloods and humans. Members have infiltrated noble houses, trading costers, mercenary companies, government offices, and adventuring bands throughout the Realms. Vipers, as the members refer to themselves, function primarily as information gatherers for the leaders of yuan-ti nation, but from time to time they dispatch key individuals who might threaten the convoluted plots of the Sseth’s priesthood.
The Coiled Cabal is a highly secretive order of yuan-ti wizards who have slowly improved their skills in the last few centuries. The Cabal will do anything to keep its existence a secret. The organisation is composed of yuan-ti abominations, half-breeds, and purebloods and is based in a secret stronghold in the depths of the Forest of Wyrms near the village of Serpents Cowl. Most wizards of the Cabal are between 9th and 16th level. Each member has half a dozen apprentices of 1st through 6th level. The organization is building its strength for the day that the yuan-ti nation emerges from hiding and reclaims its pre-eminent position in the Realms.

| The barae of Mezro are seven men and woman, mighty champions of Ubtao, chosen by their god to defend the holy city of Mezro. They live forever; their wisdom and faith shield them from old age and sickness. However, they can be murdered or loose their lives on the battlefield. In return for everlasting life, they must protect Mezro from all harm. |
