| It was the Wizards of Wold in prehistoric times who defined how magic's forms took shape, and named those shapes. Names which would become second nature in the realm as "Schools of Magic". These include ''Abjuration, Alteration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Invocation (Later Evocation), Phantasm (Later Illusion), and Necromancy'', | | It was the Wizards of Wold in prehistoric times who defined how magic's forms took shape, and named those shapes.

| |
| After diving the location of Tiamat's missing herald [[Vezoth]], the wizards of Wold discovered that it still lived, as an aspect of its soul, trapped inside of the [[Soul Star]]. Fortunately for the order, the soul star had recently become a sentient being traveling Isonhound in the form of [[Alenka]].
| |
|
| |
| After kidnapping Alenka and interrogating her, they discerned that she had no idea what power she processed, or the threat that she was to the realm's existence. They tasked an operational force of Greedy Green heroes in pulling the dragon out of Alenka's head such that it could be slayed. To do so, they needed to channel a similar astral magic that the soul star used. The only local source of that magic was an abandoned tower known as [[Relith Tower]]. After traveling to Relith Tower, the team was able to pull Vezoth out of Alenka's head...but only by disastrously unraveling the soul star itself, spilling its contents out across the realm as a wave of ghosts. The Starchild was undone, and Vezoth was unleashed, but the Order could now begin its work in stopping Vezoth for good.

| Often times keeping their highly trained experts in magic and history safe in cloisters across the woodlands, the Wold Order also operated the '''Knights of Wold''', dedicated preservers of the Wold Order.
| |
|
| |
| Becoming a Knight of Wold often required passing various tests of both strength and loyalty given to potential knights, sussed out from the innumerous heroes of the realm. A good knight was not, after all, just powerful, but passionate about the cause, and willing to lay their life down for preservation of the order.
