I would assume that they are more an "order" - Some of its members have been living for centuries now, and I don't think they move around for adventuring - but maybe we can ask our fellow scribes about new lore. What do you think about opening a topic about them?

Mulhorandi & Untheric Pantheons
The Guardians of Skuld is an order of guardians from the priesthoods of Anhur, Osiris, and Isis whose existence has been formalized since the Time of Troubles and whose leadership has reverted back to the temple of Anhur from the clergy of Horus-Re.
The Order of the Watchful Lion is a fellowship made up primarily of crusaders (but counts some clerics and specialty priests as members as well) that serve as the front line in the defense of Mulhorand. Members often take extended leaves to adventure beyond Mulhorand’s borders and report back on developments in neighboring countries.
The clergy of Anhur also includes hundreds of informal fraternities roughly corresponding to companies of troops in Mulhorand’s armies.

While the church of Geb sponsors no military or knightly orders, most adventuring priests of Geb are members of the Fellowship of the Mithral Mountain. The members of the society are united in their search for a near-mythical mountain laden with countless veins of mithral.
The Brotherhood of the Pick is a society whose membership includes most miners of Mulhorand, and serves as a union of sorts for negotiating with the nobles of the land.

| Prior to the Godswar, Gilgeam was served by a host of military orders. Only a small fraction of the most powerful order survived his destruction and regrouped in the Citadel of Black Ash with the surviving remnants of Gilgeam’s clergy. The Lords of War and Victory have reformed into a elite order of over 200 crusaders. They guard the secret fortress gate and drill at night on the Black Ash plains below. They are known for their ebony-hued scale mail or full plate armor (depending upon the situation) and full helms shaped in the image of Gilgeam’s visage. |

| The clergy of Hathor have no military or knightly orders. The Sister of the Merciful Mother, who serve Mulhorand’s cities, are clergy members who are sworn pacifists. Their intervention on behalf of anyone injured or in ill health, even slaves, cannot be countermanded, even by a priest of Horus-Re. |

| Following the Time of Troubles, Horus-Re founded an order of paladins known as the Claws of the Sun and the Ankh. (Previously all paladins in Mulhorand have served Osiris.) This brotherhood is young and untested, but its ranks are expanding quickly. Unlike the main-stream clergy of Horus-Re, the Claws are fanatic devotees of the Lord of the Sun who care nothing for the day-to-day politics of Mulhorand. |

Isis
The Sisters of Life serve in the Guardians of Skuld along with the clergy of Anhur and Osiris in protecting the capital city.
The Shield of the Lady is a fighting order of wizards, clerics, and specialty priest who join adventuring companies active throughout the Old Empires and beyond that serve the will of the goddess (whether they realize it or not). The material priestesses of this order serve to shield Mulhorand’s heroes from the forces of barbarism and evil.

Nephthys
The Order of the Golden Coin is a elite sisterhood of priestesses who serve as bodyguards, caravan escorts, and temple sentinels. Their fees are steep, but it is a rare adversary who can pull off a successful theft under the watchful eyes of the Sisters.

Osiris
The order of the risen sceptre is an elite order of paladins and lawful good rangers who have been raised by the clergy of Osiris after been slain while engaging in honorable combat with the clergy of Set.
The Brotherhood of Those Who Smile in the Face of Death (usually known as the Deathgrins) was founded by the survivors of the battle that drove the werecrocodile followers of Sebek from Mulhorand and destroyed the city of Sekras.

Sebek
There are no knightly or military orders associated with the faith of Sebek. All werecrocodiles serve Sebek directly, and all war on the humans who seek to invade their rivers and swamps. Werecrocodiles have occasionally with other denizens of the swamps. Most of these alliances end with one or both groups turning upon the other when the alliance is no longer convenient.

Set
The Fangs of Set are a wide-ranging network of assassins, spies, and thugs whose membership permeates every level of Mulhorandi society. The Fangs may not be able to displace the pharaoh, but they intend to rule the country from behind the scenes in the name of their deity, nonetheless. In addition, Set’s clergy sponsors numerous small bands of mercenaries, assassins, and thieves, but they rarely survive more than a few years.

Thoth
The Order of the Ibis Feather is a sacred fellowship of 77 scribes who serve the pharaoh of Mulhorand directly. Members are recruited from the elite of the Scribe’s Guild of Gheldaneth and the clergy of Thoth.
The Brothers and Sisters of the Quill are an order of wizards and specialty priests who actively adventure beyond Mulhornad’s borders. The Quilliasn, as they are known, are charged with recovering lost knowledge and destroying those who seek or acquire the key to Thothian mage script and should not have it, such as wizards who are not citizens of the Old Empires.

Tiamat
The Serpent Guards are a fellowship of warriors and crusaders active in Unther and the surrounding lands. Fanatically devoted to the Dragon Queen and her spawn, the Serpent Guards guard the cult’s temples and hunt down and kill interlopers.
The Knights of the Five-Thorned Rose is an elite order of high-ranking crusaders drawn from the ranks of the Serpent Guards. Dedicated to the destruction of metallic dragons, these dark warrior-priests are the bane of good-aligned dragons throughout the Realms. In the last decade alone, the Knights of the Five-Thorned Rose are believed to have slain a score or more of the metallic wyrms.

This was all from Powers and Pantheons – I will look up other sources now for more lore – but this will be a much longer project.
So Victor, I hope you will continue with your great work – if I find something interesting I will put it in - once in a while  .

That was what our fellow scribes answered about the barae – do you have anything else to ask Victor? |

Note: Only Laeral and two others have been discussed in printed lore and the rest of the members haven't been detailed. |

| League of Lightening Mercenary Company. I believe they are from Arrabar. The reference is chapter 55 of the Lies of Light novel. |

| If you are looking for info on the Gray Doom Merc Company, since I see you don't have any material listed for them, they are in the Swords of the Iron Legion sourcebook. |

Aerdrie Faenya
The Wing of Plumed Kingfishers is an aerial military order composed primarily of moon and gold elven crusaders and rangers. The order is subdivided into aerial cavalry divisions by the species of their mounts. Today only two mayor branches of the ancient order of Plumed Kingfishers survive, one based in Evermeet and the other based in Evereska.
(please keep in mind that the information from Demihuman Deities dates from 1998 – so maybe some scribes here known if they survived the rigors from the last years – in published time an in game time)

Angharradh
The Angharradhan church has no knightly orders specifically affiliated with the Triune Goddess. However, some members of orders affiliated with either Aerdrie Faeyna, Hanali Celanil, or Sehanine Moonbow worship their order’s patron as an aspect of Angharradh.

| In Swords of Eveningstar, several adventuring companies are referenced Setesper's Shields, the Company of the Cleaver, the Copmany of the Manticore Cloaks, and the Company of the Trollblood Blade |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

The info about the order of Barae of Mezro was updated - Thanks to Xysma and the Master of Mischief which I quote:
More information about the Barae of Mezro from The Ring of Winter.
Osaw- The King of Mezro, Osaw became a bara when he was 85 years old, hence his aged appearance. Osaw has been a bara for 1500 years. Ubtao granted Osaw the power to remember everything he sees or hears.
Kwalu- Kwalu is the son of Osaw, and a strong warrior. Kwalu has been a bara for about 100 years. He has the power to create a ravenous swarm of locusts that devour anything in their path.
Dhlamass Rayburton- One of the five founders and the first president of the Society of Stalwart Adventurers, Rayburton journeyed to Chult in search of the Ring of Winter. He is the first non-Tabaxi to become a bara. He has been a bara for about 1200 years. His Ubtao granted power is to comprehend and converse in any language.
Alisanda Rayburton- Dhlamass' daughter. "Sanda" has been a bara for about 500 years. Ubtao granted her the power to possess warm-blooded animals, including the mighty Children of Ubtao.
Mainu - Mainu, she of the golden eyes, was given control over the water of the Olung River
Ras T'Fima- Has been a bara for 1500 years. He was given the power to control the weather.
Ras Nsi- One of the first seven chosen of Ubtao, Ras Nsi was given the power to muster the dead.
It should be noted that (spoiler, highlight to read) T'fima was stripped of his bara status. (/spoiler) |
