Order of the Emerald Claw
The Order of the Emerald Claw was established in 896 YK to aid Karrnath during the Last War. Karrnath had been suffering from several major setbacks and a famine at the beginning of the war, and the knights of the Emerald Claw helped shore up Karrnath's defenses. However, due to its radical faith many began to distrust the Order of the Emerald Claw over the course of the war. In 976 YK Regent Moranna staged a coup and outlawed the Order of the Emerald Claw, charged its members with various crimes, and seized its bases in Karrnath.
The group still exists today but as an underground network of cells of terrorists and guerrilla fighters. While the group no longer has access to the resources of the crown of Karrnath, it is said to have cells and agents loosely connected across the continent of Khorvaire. These agents were entirely devoted to one purpose, a purpose that is unknown even to some in the organization. These pawns have been recruited under the guise of a military special operation organization to serve as simple muscle and mere brutes. The true purpose of this organization is to uproot Karrnath, and the government that, in their eyes, wronged them. They wish to place their enigmatic and malevolent leader named Lady Illmarrow on the throne. In their quest for power, the Order engages in mass sacrifices and small-scale genocides, and wields the undead as a filthy weapon.
The Order has adopted the views of the Blood of Vol, but manipulates them in compliance with their own warped world view. It is organizations such as these that give the Blood of Vol a bad reputation and negative connotation throughout the continent.
