orders?

Rain

Is there a concise list of what Divines have order and which do not? If not perhaps we should make one?

more specifically, who would I have to contact to join Pandora's order?

Thanks!

Tanaar

All of the gods listed on HELP PANTHEON have Orders except for Lorielan. Sarapis, Tecton, Maya (who is technically not a god anymore), and Cardan (whose deity status I'm not clear on) also do not have Orders.

As for joining an order, find a member of that Order to seek instructions. I don't know any Pandorans myself, but you could probably start by asking around members of the CiJ, or any organization She patrons.

Daslin

or Just whore out MARKET.

Tanaar

That always looks and sounds extremely tacky

Daslin

Yes, yes it does. But I've seen it work.

Orklanishkal

Honestly, most of this information is probably best found out in game. Tip on Pandora is good, but if you talk to leading members of the various factions I suspect at least some will be helpful. 

Katzchen

I believe Pandora's Order are one of the ones who feel that finding out for yourself how to join is one of the first requirements, rather than just being told, or asking over market.

ETA: Try hanging around Her temple, if you can find it.

Lupus has no order, as well. There might be one or two others.

Asmodron

Be sure to have your big red shoes ready for the initiation ceremony .


Stop wtf'ing me .

Asmodron

what @Trey?? Dont  deny it!

Tanaar

When was Lupus's Order disbanded? He definitely used to

Delphinus

About the time he was coma'd.

Sena

He's essentially gone, even if he didn't actually die in the Bal'met event.

He has an item number now, is I think the best way to phrase this.

Kyrra

All the shrines vanished at the time he was wounded but I never knew that the order had actually disbanded. Sad.

He was also removed from the orgs he was patroning.

Kyrra

Ahh. Thanks @Iocun.

I'm glad admin is tying up those lose ends.  The plethora of dormant Gods was never a really big deal to me, because I'm not in an Order, but it was a constant reminder that "welp, that guy got fired/moved on/was possibly a pedophile but who knows people love a good rumor" and it was just... messy, especially in a world where gods "walk among you".  There have been so many changes that I'd given up on thinking that they'd even consider, that either streamline things, or simply cater more to the player who has to "level up/maintain his main" as so many here seem to have discovered in the past few years

Shame about Lupus Order if it is gone, they always seemed like a reasonable bunch

Umm... I'm sure the individuals are still there... still being a reasonable bunch. It's okay, honey, don't cry.

Lupus's order was really problematic, given the in-game role it had come to have.

It would've been fine if it was just a neutral order dedicated to hunting (and nothing else). But instead, it had this bizarre half-forestal status. Lupus was the patron of Oakstone, which is the most central forestal god role, and the Order was by tradition cited as a forestal order. But bashing has absolutely nothing to do with nature. Besides, the Order wasn't actually forestal-oriented in any substantial way and had plenty of Order members had no interest in nature, and Lupus would favor anyone including exterminators who offered to him (which makes sense for a god of hunting, don't get me wrong), refused to allow his shrines to be used to defend nature when enemies were using theirs to attack it, etc.

There wouldn't be anything wrong with all that if it was just a neutral order, but having it count as a forestal order, and having Lupus as patron of Oakstone, was kind of insulting and definitely not good for the integrity of the forestal faction. It's really for the best that it's gone, even if it does suck for the order members. (Alternately, I'd've been perfectly content with Lupus telling Oakstone to fork off and going off to be the neutral god he seemed to always want to be anyhow, but that probably would've been difficult to do.)

temples and libraries are always a good place to start. most temples have a book including some information about how to go about joining the order. i believe i've seen one in lady pandora's temple.

Come on, we all know Pandorans can't read good.  Are you sure it wasn't a joke book they'd nabbed from CIJ?

Amunet

Or that picture book that Shanshan wrote.

Pandora has requirements? All I had to do was ask her, and she inducted me

Delphinus

And a fine high priesthood of a god after-school club it is, I'm sure.

Horatio

At that time, it was a glorified clan, which is why I didn't stay.

I wish Pandora had been the one stuck in Nishnatoba instead of Keresis sometimes.

I will miss those random Lupus favors you got from offering at His shrines. Those were cool. Le sigh.
