About
The Order of the Watchful Eye came into existence shortly after the founding of the city of Gammelgard in 990 BR. The Order is based out of a walled cloister located on the outer edges of the town of Gammelgard. Access to the cloister is strictly forbidden to anyone but members of the Order.
The Order is composed completely of dwarves. As of 825 PR, no non-dwarf has ever been admitted to the Order. The Order is run by a Dwarven Grand Master who oversees a committee made up of the Head Masters representing each of the Houses that the Order employs and offers training in. The Grand Master also holds the Order’s seat on the town Triumverat. The Grand Master in 825 PR is Behlmore Goldvein. 5 Grand Masters preceded him going all the way back to the founding of the Order around 990 BR.
There are nine Houses within the Order. Each member will ultimately fall into one of these Houses based on their skill sets. Some members of the Order are accomplished masters of their trades who have traveled the world and refined their skill. These dwarves are recruited to join the Order with the promise of resources to experiment and stability in housing and board. Yet other members are drawn into the Order as acolytes looking for training from these masters and hopefully become masters in their own right. It is common for Head Masters of each House to be drawn from the ranks of Masters
The six groups are:
Smiths
Alchemists
Scholars
Scouts
Devout
Arcanists
When a decision is made by the council, the Grand Master only votes when a tie breaker is necessary.
