Order Reformation Acts

During the early 200s, a good century after the Age of Frost, The Order, under urging from Gaial, decided to undergo a reformation of the policies that had been unchanged since the founding of the Order. The reasoning behind this was simple. The previous policies mandated extremely high punishments for the smallest of infractions, and scared away many potential converts. While good for the Order in the long-term, many of the traditionalists inside the Order were outraged by these acts, and accused the Grandmaster of abusing their power and using Gaial as an excuse. The Grandmaster of the Order during this period managed to prevent a full on civil war from breaking out, but many of the more fanatical followers of Gaial decided to split away from the Order and form their own group, called the True Believers of Order. This event helped the decline of the Order post-Age of Frost.
