The origins of Temna Tenebris are shrouded in mystery, but legend has it that once long ago an entire city was pulled into the Void, and a crew of valiant heroes rose up and fought to return the city back to its original plane.

How long they struggled and what horrors they faced remain untold, but apparently they were successful, as agents of the order they founded upon their return roam the continent of Alyndrica to this day.

Their current headquarters is a castle fortress within the city of Solis, in the central reaches of Varencia.  The agents of the order consist of paladins of various faiths and deities, but all must belong to and follow the precepts of the Oath of the Watchers.  Many of the paladins of the order follow no specific god and dedicate themselves solely to the precepts of their Oath.  Of those that have a chosen god, some of the most common deities are; Oghma, Tyr, Rao, Girru, and Heimdal with Rao and Girru being slightly more prominent.
