For each order we use a fictional character as a guiding philosophy.

MERLIN - "You cannot conquer the wind. You can only harness it."
(Inspired by Arthurian themes, fits Merlin’s strategic wisdom).


Philosophy:

Power is not always in overthrowing,
but in bending the system to your will.
Merlin did not rule, yet kings obeyed him.
This Order studies laws, contracts, and structures,
finding leverage where others see limitation.

The true battlefield is bureaucracy, where contracts hold more weight than swords.


Quote: "There is no magic when one no longer believes."
(T. H. White's: The Once and Future King).

(Control over systems requires faith in their power, but those who stop believing in their authority can break them.)

"Neither crown nor sword rules destiny; only wisdom may claim that right."
(Arthurian proverb, attributed to Merlin in later medieval works).

(A direct rejection of brute force. Power is in knowledge, not conquest).
