"The Trinity of Orders"

Founding

With the founding of Fairfalls, many other activities of the Elven people became centralized and thus in need of standardization. The founding of three organizations for that purpose marked the most significant change in Elven society since the official founding of the Elven Kingdom. The Order of the Light, the Circle of the Hundred Paths and the Arcane Academy; these three organizations quickly became the backbone of Elven social order.

Over the relatively short span of fifty years following the founding of Fairfalls, multiple organizations formed to facilitate a unifying standardization of Elven society. The Circle of the Hundred Paths was the result of the many scattered Druids that roamed the lands of Erilis coming together for the first time to share their knowledge, experience and methods in caring for their lands. Each of the major regions established their own Circle that all reported to the overarching collective.

Around the same time, the Council decided that magical instruction was important enough to the social structure that standardized education was necessary to avert mishaps and promote the highest levels of competence. Accomplished mages gathered to discuss the daunting task of forming a teaching body who could reliable teach future generations a discipline as fluid and subjective as magic. The result become known as the Arcane Academy.

With a growing permanent population concentrated in Fairfalls, the reverential subject of serving the Light gave rise to organized offerings and worship. As those who felt called to do more to show devotion or live out service to others in the Light's name became more prominent, they began to find each other and coordinate their work. This attracted the attention of the King, who decreed that those who wished to take a more active role in serving the Light would be organized into a new order whose purpose was to preserve an understanding of the Light's will for all Elves and to act as the messengers of that will to the world. He established the Order of the Light and set several of the community's organizers, whom he felt had distinguished themselves through their humility and leadership, as the heads of the Order.
