== The Aegeans ==
== The Order of War ==
 
Aegis' order is His army upon Sapience. Whilst it contains some of the most highly skilled warriors in Sapience, it gains its strength through its attention to discipline, to teamwork and to the well-being of the whole; each member, from general to lowly foot soldier, must prove their worth to the army and only those who have shown true faith in Aegis are members of His Order.

There are three paths in the army:
# The Path of the Lion
# The Path of the Hawk
# The Path of the Blade
The Path of the Lion is for those who seek to learn leadership of an army. Its symbol, the lion, is an apt choice - what other symbol better than the king of beasts? Those following this path learn about war's goals, how to motivate an army and ensure ultimate victory. They are expected to show leadership within the army.
The Path of the Hawk is for those who seek to gather knowledge for the army. Rumours have it that this path is also for those who wish to walk the way of the assassin. With its excellent vision and its ability to sneak up on its prey, the hawk is a natural emblem for this path. Those following this path learn the importance of knowledge to conducting a successful campaign of war. They are expected to search out knowledge using any means that will be of use to the army.
Finally, the Path of the Blade is for those who wish to hone their skills in open combat in an army. Those following this path are expected to know about individual combat but also combat as part of a large and varied team. The sharpened blade is an excellent symbol for this path as those following it will slice throught the army's enemies until victory is achieved. Those following this path learn the importance of knowing how to fight well by one's self and with the army. They are expected to be able to demonstrate this to Aegis at His command.
