Moon Rising

The House originally started with evil motives. It was to be run by Yog-Ka with Sabriana, Hemphop, Smoke, Hellseer and a few others ruling it. Its preface was that they acknowledged that the mare essences contained an inert power in them and that by using their prime they were able to extract its power, and then by draining the prime they were able to use that power for their own benefits.

However, Caladar saw this from the rifts of time and chaos, and returned to set the Order on a path he felt was more befitting. Taking prime nocta, he made the basis for the current beliefs.

Because of Yog-Ka's influence the ruler areas are twice the size of the rest of the house, as it was meant to be a sort of dictatorship. With Caladar taking the prima nocta, most of those were not allowed into the order. What is prima nocta? "prima nocta is in the ancient tounge, meaning First Rights." And it is the right of the first ruler from the chaos after the great loss to change the beliefs of a house to whatever he/she feels necesary.

So only Hemphop, and Hellseer were able to convert their ideas and joined the New Order. The starting members were Roland, Amygdala, Snowblind, Hellseer, Regicide, Peace, The.nomad, Hemphop, Domination.... Most dreamers assumed they were evil and thats because they studied the mares, most assumed they had a deal with the mares. That probably has to do with the mystique of the Moon too. The Order were very secretive back then, didn't give tours, didn't share knowledge.

Interesting they were secretive....in the Early dreams, they shared Marespeak with Ashbentiel and Druss. Not many knew Marespeak back then. The early research was used from the Shadowprophet, but did translations with a team of linguist and analyst. The first major house event was Hemphop's Betrayal. Hemphop felt confined by the house, and wished to perform actions that didn't go back on the house, like attacking HC (he was a good fighter). So ofcourse they came to us, etc...

So a famous speech he quoted as saying "I can't be in the house 100% of the time, maybe 80 or 90, but not 100%". And he was demoted the next week. Now he's refered to as Hemphop the Oath Breaker, as he was the first in the order to break his sworn Oath. There were no guardians back then. A month later, Snowblind, Amygdala, Roland were made Knight Templars, then 3 weeks later sworn in as Knights.

At one point they thought Snowblind had died. If you can name any dreamer who you respect, who you knew was a ruler, or guardian, or freespirit was there. Isun, ishido, tolket, Valourin, Wraith, Watcher, Darke, Manido, Ariana, Krynn, it was a sad day in the dream. Worst thing was telling Manido, his best friend... I think Snow has died. But as some of us know....Snowblind did not pass on.
