Order of the Kukshin
The Order of the Kukshin is a clerical order of the Hierarchy of the Eternal Flame. Membership in the order is limited to women. This is also true of its fighting order, the Order of the Sisterhood of the Crimson Dancer.
Though the order is of Thardic Republic origin, it spent many years in Rethem and has since relocated to Orbaal. In the past decade, it has spread to mainland Ivinia where it has met with moderate success.
In Orbaal, the Kukshin maintains two major temples: one at Quimen (orderial headquarters), the other at Geldeheim. A third, smaller temple stands outside of Thursa.
In Ivinia, the order maintains two major temples, both of which are in southern Ivae. One is in Beleka, in Seldenbaal. The other stands in the town of Harling in Ibanvaal. A handful of minor temples and shrines may be found elsewhere.
The order no longer maintains any temples in Rethem, but it has recently re-established a small shrine/hostel in Shiran, in the Thardic Republic.
The Senesharil of the order is Merene of Tusyne, a woman of Rethemi descent. She is also the Viriahn of the order's Quimen temple. The order has one Markitha, Sulabryn of Larvenes, who oversees the Ivinian branch of the order from the Baleka temple.
