Niantic Order

The Niantic Order was a secret society of Dagon natives who were largely responsible for keeping the technology and magic of the classical world, before the Syphus collapse. It was originally founded along a movement of a prophet brought from the poor regions of Stratienon, Nianta. The Niantic Order grew around the empire, holding many different lodges and collecting old works. The Order climaxed in its influence in 480 MA, when its headmind- Celinteul 2 -became the Emperor of Stratienon by way of his uncle dying.

In 455 MA, when the Syphus collapse occurred, the Niantic Order was driven underground with many of the natives, les they face abuse from Syphus.

Poem of Ianiol
''This poem was written by the scribe Ianiol of the Niantic Order in the town Hiestram. He was in a neighboring town during the assault and fires of the city Stratienon, and he escaped with many of the refugees coming through there.''

The way of the candlelight

When the wind picks up speed

Is all that remains

of sun-shining civilization.

Bury your hands in the ground

and see the smoke as a fire

When the wick goes stone cold

and all flame withdraws from its lips.

But in my dreams I still see

the flames brighter and warmer

I long not for wife or wealth

but for the life I loved before.

So breaking glass is my fair field

and talking with the self alone

when ripped out all I find I have

are locked-in thoughts within this cave.

Do not tell or let it be known

that one day I should drain my mind

what is the title lord else for

than knowing you're of strong kind?

Where are the mothers?

where is there comfort?

do you see animals in the hay?

Who is beside me?

None but a spirit

How do I understand the end to this day?

Only in this middle world

Can such things happen

where one does all he can

but understands it not.

Until wisdom comes to me

and we find us this way

the grief searching longer

for something astray.
