Order of the Golden Rose

The Order of the Golden Rose is an organization in the Abyss.

It is named for a power known as the Golden Rose.

The Brighton Manor
The Brighton Manor is the U.S.A headquarters for the Order.

General Description
The Manor is an Elizabethan manor at least three times as wide as John’s house loomed before him. Tall windows lined the walls in symmetrical groupings, all adorned with masterful ornamentation, as were the rooftop spires. Meticulously maintained rose bushes surrounded the manor, broken only by the occasional knightly statue or conical tree. The structure was composed primarily of sturdy, red stone, giving the distinct impression that the luxurious building was as much a fortress as it was a home, Whose doors are big enough to supposedly fit an elephant.

History
The Order was created by Lady of the Lake from the Arthurian legend to protect people from the most evil magic users of the Abyss. She often patrolled to capture rogue mages bent on hurting or enslaving civilians, as they called normal humans.

The Sword of Final Judgement, Excalibur, gifted to Arthur by Gaia in one of her last known direct actions upon our world get sundered, and shattered into many pieces.

Ancient and now defunct accords were in place then, preventing the Order from acting within the region of Jerusalem. The treaties were obsolete even then, but still enforced, and a group of Scions took advantage of this to protect themselves from the watchful eye of the Order while they worked. Their mistake was underestimating the lengths to which the Order would go to retrieve what they possessed (Pieces of Excalibur).

The Order convinced Pope Urban to start a (mundane) holy war with Jerusalem so that The Order may secretly invade.The order was successful in acquiring some of the Pieces of Excalibur, but at heavy lose to their own ranks.

Some years ago when the Brighton family decided to relocate to Springfield, they moved the Brighton Estate with them literally brick by brick.
