Order of the Gorgon
Hearts of iron, Arms of steel. Defense is our fire.
"Learning how to kill the nightmare is useful but if one dies before they get the chance... what use was that knowledge truly?" -Vergil Scythos
The Order of the Gorgon is one of the 3 original protectorates of Odysseia as a whole. Alongside the Raven and the Wyvern, they closed the gate to Lahmalia and barred its entrance. Where as the other two orders were intent on learning how their foe worked and the best means to killing it, the Gorgon's leader Vergil was more interested in the best way to survive the night. While the Raven and Wyvern were busy ranging and expanding their influence, the Gorgon built up a mighty tower and barracks in the heart of Erathia which their founder and leader at the time Vergil names the Tower of Solace. It would be a place of peace and protection for travelers as they made their way up and down Erathia as a waystone of sorts. The rangers of the Gorgon focused more on the means of defense as well as healing remedies through various herbs and minerals found in their immediate area. And remarkably alongside the Saltrock Dwarven smiths were the first military faction to craft and wear armour during their operations. And as successful and long lived as their order members were, under Vergil's leadership they became more and more reclusive from the Raven and Wyvern.
The Gorgon's specialty is Protection & Healing with a greater emphasis on knowledge on the different type of creatures in the world as well as the best way to defend one self from their abilities. In the development of a specialized Ironhide amulet that protected one from the vile toxens that the Gorgon spew from their nostrils, it became the clear item behind the Gorgon orders sigil. Although their art of smithing has decayed over time, it is said that they still hold records of their ancient ways. If one were to find a proper skilled smith and bring them to the Tower, who knows what sort of armor and tools that could be forged and be a shining beacon against the dark?
