Order of the Still Reflection

🏛️ Basic Info

Type: Contemplative Order / Healing Sect / Arcane Monastic Tradition
Purpose/Mission:
To preserve the clarity of the mind and soul in a world fractured by Echoes and Resonant instability. The Order aids those suffering from magical trauma, memory collapse, and identity loss — offering healing, guided reflection, and in rare cases, safe erasure. They believe true peace is found not through control, but through internal stillness.
Headquarters: Caldrith Vale
Notable Members: Nelyra Ves, The Mnemarch
*Allies/Rivals:
- Allies: Select enclaves of the The Veilbinders, memory scholars, RoB mental health policy branches
- Rivals: Certain radical Echo-researchers, Memoryforgers, and rogue Dreamwalkers who distort identity for profit or power

Founding Story:
The Order was born in the aftermath of the Sundering Veil, as survivors of the event began losing more than land and magic — they began losing themselves. A group of meditative spellhealers, displaced mindweavers, and peace-seeking arcanists gathered in the quiet Resonant fold of Caldrith Vale, swearing to create a place where the self could be repaired. They took inspiration from the natural stillness of the valley and the reflective properties of its Echo pools. Thus began the Order of the Still Reflection.
Major Conflicts/Involvements:
- Played a vital role in The Hollowing, stabilizing the minds of residents who were temporally inverted during an attempted Resonant exploitation
- Aided the Veilbinders during the Echo Collapse of Quintoria, offering sanctuary to those whose identities began to disintegrate
- Successfully lobbied the RoB Governance for legal recognition of “Echo Trauma” as a protected condition, reshaping post-crisis healing laws across Begoestia
Current Status:
Active, highly respected, and regarded as spiritually neutral. While the Order does not engage in politics, it is widely consulted on matters of memory, identity, mental reconstruction, and ethical use of reflective magic. The Order is composed of dream-healers, mnemonic guardians, and ritual monks trained in the art of stillness — both magical and emotional.
