Order of the Adunih
Known for being one of the world's largest factions of healers, the Order of the Adunih seek to promote health and wellness throughout the vast lands of Idalos. Focused mainly on healing injuries and sickness, a priest of the Adunih doesn't need any particular blessing to become apart of the organization. Most adventurers who come across a healer will find they are apart of the organization. The Order provides supplies and benefits to its members so they may help prolong a human's life, if even by a day.
It was rumored that the Order was established even before the war between Immortals and the near extinction of humanity overtook the world. Their history runs far across the Arcs and their roots run deep, however, they didn't make an appearance till only recently. Before Immortals became involved within the dealings of man, there was only what one could do with their hands and a little bit of knowledge. Cleaning wounds, stitching, bandaging, cutting the skin open, mental health— all of these things were done without the use of 'Divine Marks' and still continue to be done without the help of the Immortals.
There are no records showing where the order originally established. Some say the faction was originally formed by a group of travelers who withstood many obstacles and became famous for their great deeds, going by the alias 'The Adunih'. Others say they were a group of priests housed in the mountains that were burned away upon Faldrun's arrival. No one is certain of the fact, though there are many fiction novels that circle from these notorious rumors.

Black Cloaks -250 Fame
Black cloaks are given to exiled members who have done injustice against the Order, an individual, or a group of people for criminal or personal reasons. Upon being cast out from the organization, the exiled are given a cloak so that they are reminded of their misdeeds, so that they may repent for them, and so that they remember the Order will be there for them should they return from the darkness that's consumed them.
Exiled members must run through a series of quests should they wish to return to the Order.

Alright lovelies, as I said, you don't need special permission to join the faction unless you have a mark. However, I would LOVE to know who joins the faction so I can stay up to date on all your charitable deeds.
Head of the Order - Selinda
Race Sev'ryn
D.o.B 17th Vhalar, 679
Immortal Marks Sevrath: Adored 3
Skills Medicine: 85, Surgery, 80, Gardening: 80, Caregiving: 76, Graft: 60.
Appearance
Tall and willowy, with long dark brown hair, Salinda is a softly spoken woman who is an excellent healer. She has a deep and intrinsic care for the individual in front of her and she has risen through the ranks of the Order of the Adunih due to talent at what she does. She is slender framed and has a gentle demeanour.
Personality
Salinda is an excellent healer, of this there is no doubt and her patient-focused approach and patient-centred ethos made her a quick riser through the ranks of the Order. When she took the second in command in Ne'haer, she and the then-lead of the Order, Shonwa, made an excellent team. Shonwa focused on the organisation, the logistics and the efficient running of the Order and Salinda focused on providing the best and most appropriate care. However, when Shonwa died, Salinda stepped up to run the Order and things have been going progressively down hill since. Her medical and surgical skills are top rate, but she simply can not cope with the massive organisation which it requires. Supplies are no longer efficiently run and she is very aware of the enormous pile of paperwork which is a persistent feature in her life.
