The Celestial Orders

Similar to the knightly houses of  The Kingdom of Lyssonne and The Empire of Sollen, the Orders of the Celestials are the most famed warriors of The Empire of Timer.
There were twelve at their founding some hundred years back of which eleven remain in service to the Emperor. These are The celestial Order of the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, and the Pig. The Order of the Snake went against the crown and has been officially disbanded, though rumor persists that they still remain active in the shadows.
