The order of the white shield has been around for about 500 years, making it relatively long standing. The order started out as a group of good adventurers who were very successful in rooting out evil and wanted to make an organisation to foster and encourage others to do the same. There are now small branches of the order throughout the civilized lands that will provide aid to those of the order in times of need. However White Shield Castle is the headquarters of the organisation. Where one most travel to join the order and where the current leadership resides.
