History of the Ordo Dracul

• Suffered an attack on the Florin Chapter House in 2013, perpetrated by the Society of Penelope.

The Sworn of Dracula

There are three Sworn Orders within the Ordo Dracul. Those are the Sworn of the Axe (aka Crimson, warriors and protectors), the Sworn of the Dying Light (Azure, scholars and judges), and the Sworn of the Mysteries (Onyx, diplomats and politicians). The colors noted there are ceremonial colors, and some in each Sworn order may take offense should an Unsworn or Sworn of another Oath wear them at official OD functions. Because the Sworn have additional responsibilities placed on them, their authority expands further than the Unsworn.

When it comes to giving orders, if neither are Oathbound (or both are), the one with more more Coils of the Dragon has greater rank and thus greater authority. However, any Oathbound outranks an Unsworn. But, if both are equal in Oath (or lack thereof) as well as Coils of the Dragon, the one with more Ordo Dracul status has more authority.

This has a few exceptions. In battle, deference goes to the Axe. In matters of research, to the Dying Light. In matters of policy, to the Mysteries.^[1][2]
