Order of the Divine Blade

The Order of the Divine Blade (sometimes referred to as The Order, or simply The Divine Blades) is a group of paladins that gathered their strength together to createa force to protect Yels from the devil assaults of 813 SRT that stemmed from Barbatos' takeover of the northern capital.

History
While it is widely accepted the the order was formed as a response to the hellish attacks of 813, several of the higher ranking members were already part of a brigade that was stationed in the region now known as Helguard. Hector Blood, High Paladin of Erastil, lead the charge to Delmar, gathering as many pure souls as he good along the way. Early reports of the attacks mark the arrival of the blades as the point at which the people of Delmar could once again feel safe.

However, it has also been correlated with the time at which several of the cities announced their seccession from the Yelsic alliance, and claimed land for their own regions. It is believed that the reliance on the order by the Delmarian government showed weakness in their own protection force, a large reason many of the cities had joined the alliance at all.
